Why this must be read:
This story is starts during AJ's time in rehab. Nick is mysteriously absent, and the reason why is revealed slowly over the course of the story, through flashbacks. I've read a fair few stories set in this period, and this one remains my favorite. It's angsty without being over the top, and the ending is lovely.
Twenty-eight days passed and it wasn't enough. AJ wanted to go back to work but not out _there_, and if they could have rescheduled all the dates and arranged for all of the thousands of fans who had bought tickets to come in _here_ and listen, everything would have been fine. So they rescheduled again, and Brian told him to take his time and trust in God, and Kevin assured him that it would be okay and they'd make up the dates, somehow, and Howie told him what was happening in the rest of the world, so he didn't miss anything important.
From Nick, there was nothing.
It's mentioned in the story that Nick broke his hand very shortly before AJ went into rehab; that did actually happen, and for obvious reasons it's caused a lot of speculation among fans.
Nick is on the left, AJ on the right.
