@Bard Simpsonyou are a victim of your own insight indeed. True, Mark should have gone with Rob, it wouldn't have been the sensible thing to do... but then if he had, it woud have been no fun for me to write! 😜

@Bard Simpson I don't know if it was clever, but at the time, I was only writing this story to keep myself entertained and I already had a story line in mind. I didn't find it interesting enough to write several chapters about Rob's issues or Mark's lack of support and drag the story out. Plus I was really looking forward to write what comes next!

"Are you gonna be able to not let anything on?" Rach asked me as soon as I ended my call to Rob's mother. I let out an anxious huff. "I have to stop thinking about it for now. I think I need some time to realize this is actually happening." She wiggled her eyebrows happily. "Why did I have to talk to you about it?" I complained jokingly. She let out a giggle. "Cause you knew that if you did – you'd have to go through with it. Now it's on!" she beamed. "Crap!"

I DON'T know what you're talking about lol

@Bard SimpsonYou're welcome then I'm glad you've enjoyed reading the story so far Hopefully you don't hate the third part! But I'm sure you'll love the fourth one. No, I wasn't part of an amateur band. I do play instruments but just for fun. I guess I know about bands from reading a lot about the bands I like. I find it super interesting but I don't know that much to be honest, I just write about what I see and what I imagine.

@Bard Simpson I love that you've listened to the songs while reading this chapter! Awesome! I've oftened wondered if readers listened to the songs or not. I have the gig's playlist on my ipod... I don't know how many times I've listened to the concert by now!! If you think Mark's a prick now, then you'll think he's an even bigger prick in the next chapter... I blame his parents lol the guy needs to feel loved and maybe gain maturity, they all do... it'll happen!

It's never too late! Thanks for reading @Daddydavek

I remember "No regrets" but has Robbie Williams written another screw Take That number? ah Robbie, love the name, obviously, and I used to love the artist. There's an Ed sheeran song that always makes me think of Mark's story except for a couple of lines. It's called "Runaway" Mark losing it in front of his parents, sure why not... but he was raised to keep quiet remember! and for several years, he just doesn't want anything to do with them, and then when he finally does go back, he's old enough to rise above his anger! I think I didn't write the conversation with his mother because I didn't think it was that important. When writing the story, I've always prefered to focus more on his relationship with Rob and I guess I didn't want the back story to slow down the story I wanted to tell!

😅 one thing at a time... oh wait I remember how you can multitask. Then finish writing about them, get them out of your head and put them into mine... and then you can go back to Theo and Adrien and your other stories lol

Hopefully, it's not the end of Theo and Adrien, I know they've got more to give!

Thank you. I've often wanted to include Jordan in interviews but each time, I wanted to focus more on Rob and Mark so I didn't. I do say in chapter 7 that he does go to interviews as well, just not the ones I chose to write lol

No way! 😅

I had written one in my first version... But I can't let anyone read it lol

@Bard Simpson hey so glad you and your comments are back! I've loved reading them, thank you 👍

I see you're in good company today! ... You still want that photo...hum, I need to find a super talented drawer lol! Some drawings look just as good a real photograph

of course I do my favourite editor and now co-writer! 😉 you're probably U-N-I's biggest fan after me lol

too bad you didn't read the story before it was edited, I would've had a few grammar lessons I believe 😅 In this particular case though, saying you and I was a nod to the band's name. Would it work if it was written in quotation marks?

@Bard Simpsonthey're definitely going places! You know what, this song "shiver" was like a revelation! I was like, omg I need this song in the story, it's perfect!... and then it happened again, and again, and again (to quote Robbie) I can always find a Coldplay song that fits the storyline!

@Bard Simpson thank you so much for your feedback. 🤩 This story, you'll see if you keep reading it, follows the guys for the next ten years of the lives, through their ups and downs! I had already attempted to write about Rob and Mark's story over ten years ago, so I just started out again with what I already had, but then to be honest, their story sort of wrote itself!

@Bard Simpsonwow, thanks for your awesome comments on the beginning of the story! I love getting some feedback so I think I'm going to love you! 🤩 I knew about the story behind the song yellow and now I'm jealous! The first time I wrote this story was over ten years ago. I remember I had written the lyrics to a U-N-I song myself... when I started writing the story again in 2017, using Coldplay songs just became so obvious to me... plus it happens to be one of my favourite bands.

Thanks for always commenting, that's awesome to know what readers think ☺️

Hehe thanks, I'm glad you liked it! You did read it super fast, impressive! 👍

Haha I almost made Rob say this to the crowd in this chapter 😅 Thanks for telling me that you've enjoyed reading the story, I love it!

Thanks for telling me! That made my day We're under quarantine here in France and I have to work from home so I might spend some time with Rob and Mark!

👍Thank you for reading and for commenting 👍
