I really like the emotional intensity of this story, but I have to say that I personally don't think depression is a choice. You can choose to fight it or to wallow in your misery, but you can't prevent it from happening, and sometimes fighting to rejoin the bright side...it isn't exactly easy. But great story, overall.

Author's Response: i think you're right, overall. i seriously think i'm bipolar, & get depressed often times. sometimes i really can't prevent it from happening, but i can find things to make me feel somewhat happier.
thanks for the review! (:

Wow...this was so deep it made me cry. I swear! I wouldn't tell u otherwise! Poor Tom-tom...I mean, hurting himself in every possible way, both physically and emotionally. It's not simple to move on (life can be bitchy at times) but he may wanna try. I have my doubts 'bout the vomit thing, I saw in a movie a guy who had been poisoned so he took a glass of water mixed up with vinegar so he would throw up, pretty scary, huh? Anyway, I felt so very sorry for Tom! Bill is a good brother, it's not his fault he didn't return Tom's feelings. He's trying to do his best to support Tom without being all nosy, that's all! Great fic, really (thumbs up)

Author's Response: wow, your review made me melt! thanks so much. (haha, i just read your review from my 'starved for perfection' fic.) isn't it funny. this time it is tom who is getting help from bill, rather than the other way around in my previous fic. anyways, glad you liked my story. && no more tears! it's just a story. (:
