First I was mad that dammed Nick opening the door then good for you Jen give it to him and then I just cried for Jen and Rob. That was great loved this chapter
Author's Response: thank you so much pam!
I know, Nick turns up like a bad penny... but Jen was finally able to get her two cents... and a right hook in.... Jen and rob have so much to work through... as soon as Jen can settle LA... things will be better... i promise...

Wow, that was an intense chapter. Poor Jen really does have issues in LA doesn't she? But I think this trip will help her resolve some of them. Poor thing, being that frightened of earthquakes. I've never experienced one but do remember that awful one in LA where all the freeways collapsed. Terrifying. And traffic in the rain, well that was bound to have effects on her. I think she needs to see a therapist about those phobias, especially if she's going to be with Rob wherever he goes. Otherwise she'll never be able to go there without fear.
GI Joe & Mack Truck. Perfect descriptions. Brilliant. I love them both....
NICK - a*hole. I'm so glad Jen punched him and smashed his nose, shame she didn't break it. I'm not a violent person normally but he deserved everything he got, and more. Shame she didn't break his nose. Glad she kneed him in the nadgers though..... Serve him right. How can he live with himself??? (Yeah I know it's only a story!!)
Do you really think it is like that for Rob in RL with the studio thinking he's just a cash machine?? He's their biggest star, with Kris and so should be able to dictate exactly what he wants and how much. They should be bowing down to him, not limiting his private life. Really hope it's not like that in RL, for him or any of them.
Poor Jen. At least when she sees Mike's family she may get some closure, and when she sees where he's buried. All this to deal with and being pregnant (although obviously she's unaware of that at the moment). She really has got a lot on her plate.
Let's get her back to Rob quickly, please.....
Excellent as usual Steph, gripping stuff, hugs Clare xx
Author's Response: thanks clare. I full heartedly agree she needs to see someone for her fears. she ran last time, that doesn't solve the issues. it delays them, and when faced with them again, can make those fears worse,as we saw in the car. she didn't have issues driving in the rain in Washington, only LA... so obviously she has a number of issues that cascade and overwhelm. she won't be able to handle it all if she doesn't get help for it.
so glad you like my GI JOE AND MACK TRUCK.... i heart them for all they do, here and in real life.
BWAHA! sohow do you really feel about Nick? hehehe. yeah, Jen is not a violent person really, but her passion and protective nature won over. how can he love with himself? maybe he can't.... and that is why he felt he needed to come clean to the two of them... maybe... but no denying, he is an a**hole... that will never be denied...
I think Rob is a cash machine no question. And i think anyone associated with him, or Kristen or Taylor will use that to their advantage as much as they can. Now, Rob is a heavyweight now... he SHOULD have the ability to say what he can and can't do, but i think he is also still naive and afraid to piss anyone off. He knows what he wants to do, but if your manager says you have 12 hours of press junkets to go to 2 days in a row, because you have to do it for the good of the movie... he'll do it... he is loyal and willing .... too willing...
I think Rob has a little more control of his private life than what i write here.. whatever his relationships are, i think he knows that what he says or doesn't say will turn heads and make people take notice. so he may even be playing up the craze onhis own, knowing it is good for business. i have no doubt he knows how to work the system, even if it causes him a little discomfort. he may not have known it would get this out of control when he started it all, but the light at the end of the tunnel is in sight for him.
Fic Rob... well we may see a more aggressive side to him coming up... he may just decide that being handled, being "protected" is not what he wants.....
Jen...she has so much to deal with with LA... Dealing with Mike and his family will definitely help...
oh i want them back together too! i know! it's brutal having them apart!
thanks my dear!
more soon!

Great update Steph. I can't seem to think what Jen could be sick with if it's not the flu. I thought about a pregnancy, but then I remembered she can't have kids, and you said you wouldn't go there. So, that's not it......hmmmmmm.
Anyway, loved it!
-Jen
Author's Response: thanks my dear!
hmmmm. did i say I WOULDN'T go there specifically? or not yet so soon? or could it be H1N1? or something more ominous?
I know i am being absolutely cruel. but i will say that the idea of Rob becoming a dad so early would not be my style... i simply can't see him as a dad at 24.... they have a lot of living together to experience...
Jen has said she can't have kids... but as we have seen, her experience from the accident was not clear... i am throwing all sorts of red herrings out here now...
but i do promise that it will be revealed in the next couple of chapters... a lot of jen's story will be told... LA is where it all happened....
thanks Jen! (hehehe it just feels strange saying that! )

I'm really enjoying your story - I can feel every emotion coursing through Jen and Rob. I'm a fangirl like Jen, and obviously you as well. I love my Rob, but if I ran into him on the street, I'd just let him keep walking because I believe he deserves a private life just like me. After all, I'm sure he puts his pants on one leg at a time, too!
Author's Response: thanks so much my dear!
it is true. i am a fierce respect girl. I'd be the one beating the screamers away for him, to be honest. if i met him, it would simply be a thanks for doing fine quality work, and maybe a lot of blushing, but otherwise, i'd like to respect him from afar.

So much stress and drama, and yet still i was shocked to reach the bottom of the page. I was thinking " what already? I need more! now!" Steph, write faster! (Just joking you do a great job!)
How great is Joe? I love that Rob has good people looking after him. Is Joe based on any real character?
And Jen, I know you're stressed and busy and hate hospitals, but if you don't get your self to a doctor soon I'm going to jump on a plane and drag you there myself. Actually no, if that were possible I'd be heading down to London to accidently on purpose bump into Rob while his girlfriend is out of town....I'm a bad person, so sue me!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it, as usual.
Author's Response: you are the third person in this chapter to mention that feeling of needing more at the end of the chapter. that is so inspiring and humbling and truly appreciated! I can't even say! i worry so often that i make these chapters too long winded... it is nice to hear that you guys are enjoying them... and that they are not overwhelming.
Oh how i love Joe... is he real? i know that Rob has more than Mack Truck (who is real and whom i adore!)
Joe is fictional, although we did meet one of Rob's security staff this weekend at the convention ( and i saw a very familiar guy a the Starbucks in the hotel i swear is another one of Rob's security... and he looked just like a Joe!)
so while Joe is fictional, he is a make up of the other fine men who protect the pretty... how i love them for their hard work!
HAHA! yeah... Jen is being so stubborn... i promise a trip to the doc is in the pipeline... we'll have answers soon...
thank you so much my dearest.i love getting your reviews!

Poor Jen freaking out about the being in LA and the weather and the bridge -- all without Rob. :(
Well, I can't believe that Nick admitted to "breaking her". I actually have a modicum of respect for him now. i guess I can see where he was coming from, not knowing the connection that Rob and Jen have. But I'm still so glad that she attacked him -- Go Jen! Although I am sure that Joe the bodyguard must think she's a little odd now. :)
Cannot wait to read on and find out the answers to our many outstanding questions...
Author's Response: thanks my dear.
yeah Jen has issues she needs to address with LA...
Nick... i am glad you have a modicum of respect for him after this. he is still human, and while what he did was unacceptable, he may very well have regrets over it, especially seeing how much Rob truly benefits from their relationship. And to live with the realization that he ruined them both... that has to take a toll, even to Nick the prick... but yeah, Jen's loyalty and passion for what she cares about- she had to nail him and give him a piece of her mind.
glad you liked it...the answers are starting to come! yay!

Oh dear lord I am bawling over that fight with Nick. I mean, at first, I laughed over her internal musings about why time seems to slow down when you're about to punch someone, but then...BLOODY HELL!
This whole issue over selling a person as an image, a commodity, and that their personal life is bought and paid for...just makes me sick. And for Nick to be led into believing that he is doing his client a service by destroying his happiness is beyond disgusting. I truly don't know how people who are very successful ever survive in this business.
I was so proud of Jen for letting Nick have it...and I cannot wait to hear what else will be revealed about "the dark times." Love Joe already...anyone whose job it is to protect the Pretty is alright in my book!
And poor Jen...I hope when this is all said and done and she's on her way HOME that she is in a place where she's healing and not being tortured by her losses anymore.
And the ending...just, sigh.
Loved it...as always
HUGS!

Author's Response: thanks my dearest.
ah..Nick... so many things going on with him... I can't wait to reveal more about his reasonings... and for Jen to step up, with everything she has going on, and give him a piece of her mind (and fist)... he needed it.
You know how i feel about the industry, how i feel that there are times that the image is more important than the person... and it makes me mad to think that there are those people that would manipulate an actor in order to propel them further, not for their craft... but for the dollars... I see that in Rob and the industry. he doesn't need the amount of press he gets... he doesn't need to be at every talk show, every press junket... but he is... and he is tired for it... he doesn't need it... Summit needs it... the movie doesn't even need it as much as people think... its sad, the amount of press these actors must do. Rob and Kristen and Taylor did 12 hours on saturday. that's insane... and lots more on Sunday...
gah i could go forever with that... you know Jen will have something to say about it...
Oh Joe... how i love him already... not nearly as much as Mack Truck... but that's an obsession i have... hehehe
so glad you liked it my dear. much more to come!

Finally, Jen gets a chance to really stand up for Rob - freaking Nick (your fic Nick not RL Nick -sure RL Nick is lovely ), maybe now he'll man up and spill what else he's holding back.. 'cause I sure wouldn't want to have jen come after me again..she's total kick-ass!!!
rain, bridges, and earthquakes and now elevators in said city with all 4 = MY OWN PERSONEL HELL. yeah, and there was an earthquake here last night - house shoke and rolled.. just reading her reaction was making me sick to my stomach... and to think next chapter will def be major reason to toss her cookies... my heart aches for Jen at the though of her having to deal with her past again. it almost seems like she'll have to bury him again, doesn't it? Because of her numbness when it first happen - everything was so out of reach and hazzy now that she's had time to get out of the haze she'll have to deal with it and well bury him again. something tells me I'll have to have a box of tissues when I read the next chapter *sniff*

i feel ya on the fear issues... earthquakes get me...I can understand your reacting to her reaction...
oh my god woman. you said it beautifully... it's like she will have to bury him again. she left so much unresolved, she had turned herself off and refused to let those feelings work their way out... she has a lot to deal with...yes... you will need a box of tissues for the next chapter... i sobbed while writing it... but then again... i cry at folgers commercials...
haha! Gi JoE dolls. I swear if i can find one like Mack truck... i am all over it!

*needs someone to snuggle with* Dreams will do, for now. I thought Jen said she wasn't going to hold back her feelings and thoughts. Isn't lying the same thing. she only hurts herself and the relationship. She has even said there is never enough time. Time is not guaranteed. She should know this better then anyone.
Author's Response: oh my dear... you have hit the nail on the head here.. she is not supposed to be hiding her feelings... she should know better. isn't this what she swore she would never do after she lost mike? There is never enough time... and to hide things only hurts those you love. she thinks she is protecting Rob... but we know better.
it only hurts herself... and look at her... sick... stressed and alone... oh i can't wait for you to read on... because she needs to realize it...

Standing ovation for writing Jen this way and letting Nick finally feel her wrath for the pain he caused both her and Rob. Good quick flash of RL and the movie industry's dirty garbage.
Jen's sever PTSD reaction to rain/traffic/LA - all understandable and extremely intense. Can really feel for her. (In RL, she'd really need Rx and therapy to bring the anxiety down to manageable.)
Joe - what a sweetie. Glad you're surrounding Rob with good and caring bodyguards.
So looking forward to what you'll write and reveal in the next chapter with her father-in-law, saying goodbye to Mike, and her health.
Author's Response: Thanks my dear. glad you liked Jen's reaction. she is not all about violence, but something primal and protective took over...and Nick needed to understand just how much pain he caused.
I ABSOLUTELY agree about what she would need in RL in dealing with her PTSD.... she buried it by running two years ago.. but you can't avoid it... she will have to face it, and she will need help. therapy, most definitely... she needs to admit her weakness though and admit she needs help...LA might just be the catalyst for that.
I truly believe Mack Truck is good to Rob, and the other few guards on his detail i am sure would take a bullet from him... seeing Rob this weekend at the twilight convention was enlightening... 8 security guys, and my Mack Truck was all business.... so of course Mack needs a good side kick... GI Joe... my second best friend
oh the next chapter... get your kleenex... jsut saying goodbye to Mike was enough to make me cry while i wrote it... but then again i cry at Folgers commercials...

The poor girl really needs someone to talk to about all the things that are happening in her life other than ROb. An unbiased opinion is sometimes needed I'm glad she was able to let loose on Nick. I realize violence isn't the answer, but damn if it doesn't feel good. I hope she will open up to Rob about everything. I would hate for him to hear it from someone else.
Author's Response: You are absolutely right about her needed someone to talk to. Rob and his family are not the best choices... honestly... she really needs the therapy she refused back then. she suffers from some severe traumatic stress... we'll see how she handles it...
HAHA! doesn't it feel good to let loose.. and i agree violence isn't the answer and Jen really isn't a violent person, just passionate and protective. And Nick.... while he was an absolute prick, he is regretful....
She does need to open up to Rob. they both do.. this trying to protect the other from danger can only hurt their relationship....

Good for Jen. I think I am not alone in saying that I was right there with her giving out punches and kicks to the groin! But that being said, I now wonder if Nick might not be a good thing for them in the long run. Hmmmm.....
You sound like you have had dealings with the Hollywood machine and what it does to people. Have you? Just wondering....
Thank you for your dedication. We all appreciate it.
MWAH!!!!!
Author's Response: OOOOH! I love love love that you are thinking that way! JS... he needed a pounding, no doubt... but..... hehehehe.... you keep that thought handy, ok?
oh the hollywood machine... I do work in the industry. now in academics and only do professional some, but in the day, i worked on some big shows, handled my fair share of talent, and worked behind the scenes.... the saddest part of seeing actors work is the handling... when they are in the groove and filming, awesome to watch. but when the cameras are off, and you see their managers telling them where to go, and what their schedule is to be... it breaks my heart. i can only imagine the craziness that is Rob's life (and Nick's life)seeing it on a small scale with famous people who are not nearly as in demand was brutal for me to watch. i have been on security details as well, and the crazies are well...crazy...
i could go on forever... I have my opinions of hollywood... some of it is good... but there is definitely a seedy underbelly the fans just don't see...
thanks my dear. thankyou for your dedication to this story! it means so much to me!
