I sort of saw the Justin thing coming, but I didn't expect him to be on the one who rejected her. Especially since he was the one to make the first move. He took it there, and backed off far too easily. So does he know something or is it just how he really felt? He truly doesn't have feelings for Mack?
The JC WW3 situation made me a bit emotional..? I don't like seeing them fight and especially not like that. Did he simply not acknowledge how Mack basically confessed her feelings to him? Perhaps he already knew? I did not think things would escalate to the point of her getting physical, but this makes for some more discomfort. And while I don't like it, I'm curious to see how the characters will move forward from this.
Hope you'll update soon. I've missed being on here and have to start feeling my way back in.

Yes, isn't it funny how he was the one to make the move and then (out of nowhere) he was the one to back off? Hmmmm. Sounds fishy to me :P I will tell you that things between her and Justin have always been complicated beneath thier friendship and it will continue to be so until they reach some sort of breaking point. How that turns out is the question.
I don't like seeing them fight either but it was about time that they did otherwise their feelings wouldn't ever come to light properly. Perhaps it wasn't the best way to do so but it pulled the lid off of thier shaken bottle, so to speak. That's the million dollar question, isn't it? It is JC, he could just not know which version of the word 'like' she's using or he ignored it. Who knows? (Well, I do but... ;)) Oh trust me, my *NSYNC rear is in gear so the next update will be fairly soon. Today even, if I don't get too distracted. I've missed being on here as well, hope you come back and write something soon!
Oh my gosh! I wish I could embed all of the happy-excited gifs and emojis ine world right now, I'm so ecxited to see this story at the top of the list of updates! I seriously could not tear my eyes away form this chapter, it was so good start to finish, and the ending was so climactic. The way that Mack and JC just laid everything out there was so intense, their emotions in that moment were so raw, and Mack was so vulnerable. And then when she hit him, God, I felt that in my soul. Ugh, how can they come back from this? Oh my God, this was soooo good!
Author's Response: I'm excited to see that you're still excited for this story! Lol, thanks so much! I'm asking myself that same question, there's going to have to be a lot of making up for them to get back to how they were. If they ever do. Thanks for the review, hope you're doing well!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your kind words. It was the first thing I read after a stressful day at work and it made me smile so big, you have no idea! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
WHAT?! WHAAAAAT?! AHHHH! WTF?! Did you know that we are in SEPTEMBER?! LOL
OMG OMG! Um, let me think, these lines here:
“And I think I know why you said it,” he continued, stopping me from being able to finish my sentence. I lifted my eyebrows, waiting for him to come up with some sort of wrong assump—“Because you like him.”
…Shit.
HA! Thank YOU Lance for having that convo with Mack, I mean, DUH! Mackie has always been so FREAKIN stubborn, she should just ADMIT to JC that she is HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH THE MAN..I'm sorry for yelling..LMAO!
And Justin, he is just a good friend to speak too, sometimes clueless, but really I can't picture Justin and Mackie together together you know what I mean?? Because there's something about JC, that Mackie and him, they just fit, first of all, they are BOTH stubborn heads, and they both have MAJOR problems admitting their feelings for eachother...UGHH!
This was a REALLY great update! ABOUT FREAKIN TIME! LOL :D
Author's Response:
Why must you always point out how much time it takes for me to update? I feel bad enough already! :P
Lance had to be the one to have the conversation with her, he's the only one who'd take it seriously let's be real. Yeaaahhh, her bull-headedness is really going to get to her one of these days. If not in this chapter, haha! Now see, admitting it is easier said than done. She's super afraid of rejection and being the fact that it's JC...no. Not gonna happen, at least not anytime soon.>:)
They're special, I'll put it that way. Justin and Mack are special. I love writing them in any capacity, they make me smile. Especially when they're getting along. I can see them together and at the same time I can't (if not for my eternal love for JC, heheheh). Now, who said anything about JC having feelings in return for Mack? *wiggles eyebrows* Thanks for the review! I hope to get another one up soon!
GASP. There is so much to get to....I'm not even going to discuss that cliffhanger ending. It was wrong to do me that way...I can't talk about it, lol. The meat of all this, in my opinion, is Mack and JC. There is some anger between them that is way more than just irritation and getting on each other's nerves. She brought Nikki into the conversation which.....whoa. YET, JC didn't react the way I expected him to. He took the high road, but I imagine that if these two argued while they were alone, he wouldn't have held back the words he wanted to say.
Hmm.
I can't wait for more, hopefully it will be soon. Missed you on here....a. lot.
Author's Response:
Oh, girl, you know I had to do it. You know I had to. I wouldn't be me if I didn't leave a cliffhanger ending. You are right, though, I have to give you that. That there is more than just irritation and getting on one another's nerves between them. The only question is what? Or who, posisbly? Hmmmm??? Honestly, JC didn't react like I expected him to either. Though him taking the high road is a very JC thing to do everyone has their breaking point. I'm still wondering how long it will take for him to reach his with her.
I promise you that the next one will be up soon! I have newfound inspiration that is sticking around long than it has in the past. Aww, I missed you as well! You need to write something else so I have something else to love!
IT TOOK YOU TWO YEARS TO UPDATE! OMG! LOL But you're very welcome! :D
This chapter had me laughing! Ok these lines here: What are you doing with them anyway?” Chris spoke up.
I had to fight the urge to roll my eyes. This whole “meeting” was beyond stupid if this was what it was going to be like. “Gee, Chris, I was going to use them for makeshift water balloons. Why do you think I have them?”
“I think you’re going to use them for makeshift water balloons because I know you’re not having sex,” he replied
LMAO! There were SO many funny moments, but I did needed a major refresher on this story, cause I forgot a few things..but I remembered some stuff now! :D
I also laughed at these lines here: Good, you can do better,” Chris replied, smirking. “I mean look at that hair.”
“Fuck you, man,” Justin finally spoke up, holding his middle finger up in his direction. HA! :D
I agree Mackie could do better..lolz take JC instead..I mean JC was fuming already when she was telling him about Nikki.. :P
And lastly, these lines about JC's big nose "The entire reason this whole…weird interrogation came up besides the fact that JC can’t keep his large nose out of my business—I mean, with a nose like that it’s really not all that surprising”—
I giggled at this while eating a Twinkie! LOL
Thank you SO much for finally updating! Hope you are doing well! :D
Author's Response:
I DID NOT NEED THAT REMINDER, THANK YOU! :P Trust me I know how long it was. That's why I was hiding under a rock.
I'm glad, despite the intensity of the chapter, that you still found bits funny. I didn't want it to be too serious so some humor had to be thrown in to make evyerhting a little bit better. :) Thank YOU for being patient with me and sticking around. I hope you are doing well as well!
P.S. Congrats on your best reviewer win!
Author's Response: And I was so excited, in turn, to see a review! I'm glad to know that this story still has followers. Glad to hear you loved it! Just wait until you see what happens in the next one. Good to see you again!
I freaking hate Bobbie, She makes me want to stab a mirror.
You have no idea how much of heavily breathing and screaming I did when Justin and Mack were playing golf, I love this Fanfiction! I've spent days and nights reading the chapters! If my laptop died, I would use my Ipod and if my Ipod died...I would be out of luck and impatiently wait for both laptop/ipod to charge in order to reading Something Like You.
..........I HAVE AN ADDICTION.
WELL...OOh! I love how you put a bunch of different mixed reactions into one. LOL when Mack was buying all the condoms at the store and the way the cashier was reacting to her..
And about Lou, of course, I know he had something to do with the finances..but of course.
And I know that JC is probably boring holes into Mack's head now.. *death glare* These lines here: "Are you having sex?” He paused and then asked, “Are you and Justin having sex?”
*dun dun dun
Pretty good chapter..thank you for finally updating. :)
Oh shit, that's awkward! Now I bet Justin's gonna think that Mack's lying baout being a virgin. Damn! Can't wait to see what happens next.
YAY! :D Everything is good now..I like that Joey and Lance were lecturing her about why she was being so angry all of a sudden. Yes..conversation is key. :) And I also like that she's not mad at JC anymore..so thats nice.
Earlier in this chapter, I literally laughed out loud when I read these lines: "
“I wish we could turn Canada up a few degrees,” Chris commented as soon as he got into the van an settled in. “My balls are about to fall off.”
“You need balls first for that to happen,” Joey commented.
“Burn!” Justin cheered and high fived him.
ROFL!
Above all, great job on this! Thank you for updating! FINALLY...lolz oh P.S congrats on finishing junior year at the university! Woot! Is your major in writing?? :D
GUH! I must know! LOL
Go ahead Mack, talk to JC, you know you want to.. ;) Ooh love the thick tension they both earlier, and when Justin tried to convince Mack to go talk to him..be reasonable.
I needed to refresh my memory a bit cause its been too long.. LOL Luckily, I got back on track.. :)
And lastly, the Justin and Mack kissing scene..tee hee.
Looking forward to the next chapter, and has me thinking, *NSYNC can also be distracting.. :P
Thanks for FINALLY updating..HA!
