Oh, God, I didn't expect that. That's terrible. Poor, poor twins. I can't believe David and the Gs knew before them, and the Gs so upset and having to go break the bad news. Just heartbreaking. Before the shock ending, I thought you wrote Bill's talk with Simone really well, it sounded so natural. And the twins' fight was great, I could imagine Bill scratching like a girl with his long manicured nails, and Tom taking advantage of his greater bulk and pinning his twin down. I was also thinking maybe Tom should go to therapy for himself, especially because Bill said he'd go with him and maybe Bill would be drawn into the proceedings and get involved too. But God knows what's will happen now. So, as you're the one 'in the know' come on 'God', next chapter please.

Author's Response: Ya know, when I started writing this chapter, I didn't really expect that, either. I mean, I knew it was gonna happen, just not here, not this soon, but I had to move it forward and the time just felt right. There's still a lot to know, like how the accident happened, and such, but I was trying to convey just how much Bill's mind was controlling him, even through tragedy. Oh, yeah, the fight with him and Tom, I thought was actually kinda funny, though it was completely meant to be serious. I'm not all the way in the know, trust me. I know where it's all going, just not how to get there. Anyhow, the twins phones were turned off, and you'll know next chapter how David and the Gs knew first. So, yeah, anyhow, I have to work on PP before my following there kills me, and then jump back to this one, I think, atleast. Thank you so much for this amazing review and I'm glad it's starting to pick up a bit!! You're always so detailed, I love it!

I love this story so much. It's amazingly written, and I can't wait for the next chapter. Gah, I'm crying, it's so sad.

Author's Response: Thank you so much!! I appreciate this so much because I'm scared this isn't going to catch on. Your review has really encouraged me, and your story is beautiful, as well. I've read every chapter and reviewed quite a few, so this really means a lot to me. Sorry for the tear jerker there!! Thanks again!

That was amazing. The end part with the twins dancing and then the snuggle on the couch was so cute and tender. But underneath it all is still that tension and the deep-seated sense of sorrow and dread. The first part was really good with you showing how driven Bill is that any attempt to slow him down is met with an outburst. Even him trying to carry on singing when his voice is starting to give up shows how he's tryng to force his body beyond its capabilites, just as his eating disorder attempts to make his body comply with the way he feels it should be. Tom might find it hard to bear and sometimes snaps himself under the pressure, but really he's incredible given what he's gone through with his twin. I also love the Gs' and David's concern. That whole paragraph 'To the other two band mates, Bill was their friend first and their singer second. His health was more important to them than the band, the glamour or the money. Bill being the youngest also put them into protective mode, because aside from friendship, they also all shared a brotherhood like no other. Losing Bill to his health issues would be as bad as losing one of their own kin, so they all felt a little responsibility for his well-being when it came to such things'...so very sweet.

You are so good at getting into Bill and Tom's heads, showing things from the point of view of the victim and the ones closest to him. I'm really loving this story, and the whole time period it's set in.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for this review, Helen. I swear, I love this story soooo much and it's so personal, I'll write it even if nobody else reviews. I'm trying so very hard to keep this story original and I'm really glad you're enjoying it. It's not always easy to convey all the emotions of every person, without it sounding choppy, but hopefully I nailed it and there will probably be another update tonight or tomorrow. Thank you so much again for all of your support and I will be in touch a bit later tonight. I love you so much and once again, I appreciate this!!

this chapter was so sweet, I love how much Tom and Simone care for Bill. If he's in recovery now, does that mean that later on in the story he's going to be healthy, OR WHAT'S GOING ON!? ;)

Author's Response: Shhhh....I can't tell you that. You'll have to wait and read, and hopefully, you won't be too disappointed in the results. Thank you for the review and all your support. I will say that as of right now, Bill's in recovery, but that can mean a lot of things to an anorexic, and it's not always good things. I hope you continue to read and enjoy this. I should have the next chapter posted in a day or two.

This is so good, my dear friend. It just has such a flow to it and everything feels so real and natural. And I'm happy that you've set it in the TH world around the time of Humanoid's release. It's easy to imagine Bill coming into the kitchen and trying to remain inconspicuous while he listens in on Tom talking about him to Simone over the phone. You write that twin bond so well, with Tom worrying over his brother and all the months he's been there for Bill through the hard times, and still he can't ever relax because he knows Bill's issues aren't even close to being dealt with, but Bill doesn't want to consider the therapy. And it's clear that Bill's control issues over their work lives has leached into other areas of his life with him trying to control his body image. Yeah, the ending was soppy, but so beautiful. I'm really looking forward to more of this story. Always enjoy what you write, but this is extra good. Great stuff.

Author's Response: I'm really glad you're enjoying this. I hope to have more updates really soon and have already started on the second chapter. I hope this thing catches on, because it does become a different take on what people suffer through when they have too much on their plate. I know the end was sappy, but it's how I envision the twins away from the public eye without going too overboard on the affection. rnrnThank you again for all your support and I can't wait to really get this thing rolling and see where it takes me and my readers.
