Holy shit. Poor Gerard. I was actually cringing with embarrassment for Gerard on stage. The one thing he was petrified of happening, happened. You did a great job of depicting Gerard's emotions and worries and I could totally feel his newfound desire to get over the drugs and drink and become a new and better person. I really admired Gerard in this chapter and like his new, optimistic outlook on life. It's all real stuff, dude.
Jeez, it feels I haven't read this story in...forever! I had to read the previous chapter to update my memory on everything haha. But I ended up reading more than just the chapter before...I forgot how brilliant this story is. And this chapter was not 'crappy', it was very, very good. I was not dissappointed. Except one thing has annoyed me...you got that bloody Bob Marley song in my heard. Bleh. Screw you. ;D
Just ah-may-zing. Oh, and I think your Quert misses you...hint hint haha.

I'm so glad you reviewed. Because your reviews are long. I can't stand short reviews because I always feel like the person is typing in some random comment, just to be nice and then I get worried.
Anyway, I'm glad this chapter made you and some others cringe, and feel Gerard's humiliation, because that was what I was going for.
And haha. Well, at least it's a great song to have stuck in your head.
I didn't realize my Quert had feelings too. I mean, first it was this one, begging for me to write more of it but now my Quert too? Jesus Christ.
Well, I'm thinking that I shall finish this story first, because whenever I write about Bertie, I feel really bad about the way my story-Gerard treated him and then I feel like doing something mean to him; like sending him back down that downward spiral. And if that happened, this story would just go on and on and on, without an end. But this story is two more chapters tops and then I'll move on to Bert/Quinn cuteness.
And oh yes, you asked why your chapter 3 made me feel nostalgic. Well, basically because I've been through that whole thing. I remember like, going out to parties with a bunch of my friends, smoking some cigarettes, maybe some weed, acting like nerds...and the whole music obsession thing with Quinn, and Frank liking him a lot more suddenly. Wow, it just brought me back to some really great times I had. Made me smile.
