That was another good chapter.
Wow, I feel so left out. Everyone on this site has a creepy cat. lol.
Well back to reviewing the story. Okay, I think that it's good that gerard can feel something, and I really hope that he doesn't relapse...
And yeah, I was reading everyones reviews and ilo9vemcrgmfrb was totally right. I already thanked you for writing this, but also I don't drink that often in the first place, and this story seriously makes me want to never drink...like ever.
Anywho, this chapter was amazing. I can't wait to read the next one.

Your cat sounds like mine. Lol… =) I’ve had the same thing happen. At least she wasn’t on the bed batting at your…um…sensitive dangly parts. That happened to me and my hubby once when our oldest cat was a kitten.
The bathroom scene was interesting. Kat just wanted to make him feel good for a little bit. And help relieve some tension. It shows how much she wants to help.
But I thought the nightmare scene was the most telling. Is shows just how messed up and troubled his thoughts really are. The subconscious tells us things about ourselves that we don’t always want to see.

It's weird, right? The cat thing ... and thank god I don't sleep naked! *shivers*
The bathroom scene was really important. It's not like I wanted to write a "sex scene" or something. It did show that Kat just really wanted to help him feel normal and it worked. And it also gave him a glimmer of hope that he wasn't totally out of control.
Yeah, the nightmare scene ... it's crazy that I can remember all these fucked up nightmares from back then, but they were really vivid. And in almost all of them, it was like an evil me doing bad shit to myself. Very telling indeed.
Thanks again for the review xD17 Days

I know this is way off topic but Dondon you are so friggin funny, you leave some of the best reviews. My sister once asked my mum what a hooker was. The look on my mum's face was hilarious.
"C'mon and finish that cancer stick and come back inside. Your mom's taking the lasagna out of the oven"
I loved that line, such a dad thing to say.
Another brilliant chapter and all the anxieties Gerard felt before finally letting himself feel something good. No put the vodka away. It must be a nightmare having that constant thirst and desire.
Oh and on the cat front. You just have to accept they rule the house. I often wake up to find my cat sitting on my hair, nice or batting me on the face to get under the covers.Totally pisses my boyfriend off. She wakes up at 6.30 and totally demands her breakfast. Good prep if i ever have children i suppose.Author's response
lol Yeah dondon leaves some good reviews, huh! When I was a kid, there was no internet so every time I asked some crazy question like that my parents had to suck it down and tell me! ha!
I like writing the dad character in my stories 'cause of course I superimpose my own dad on there!
While I was writing this one I did have some reservations about it. Yeah, it's some pretty personal shit, but it all honesty, it was the first time in awhile that anything like that happened (barring what happened on Day 5 of course because that was, well, it was exactly what it was really - autopilot ) . Another lovely side effect to being drunk all the time I'm afraid. But beyond the physical stuff, the emotional aspect was very important. Being able to feel good like that really was a step forward. And of course, feeling like "can't" and then being able to "do it", meant a lot too.
I think cats are always thinking of ways to just mess with you. LOL And yeah ... 6:30am feedings. Cats ... the "gateway drug" to children. LMAO17 Days

I want to rate and I can't! It's so frustrating!! I did manage to get the overall rating up 1 though.
I'm running out of ways to tell you how amazing this story is and I have so many chapters to read yet. You write a lot faster than I can read.
With my stories, work, real life, lessons, the band and all that entails (I do all the managing, promotion and accounts as well as drumming - it's a full time job in itself!) - I have very little time to read, but when I do, I want everything to be this good!! :D

thank you!
You know, you're not the first person to say that (the running out of ways bit). That's uber flattering! The ONLY reason I have time to do this is because I'm an insomniac! lol

Very interesting. We'll discuss this, at a more, er....appropriate location, when I've had time to ponder the ramifications.
