There Is No Home - Comments

@ PhenoBarbiDoll
Love you & your comments :) thanks for reading!

Oh, thank goodness! Bean is okay! And Corey is there! All is right in the world.

Naming her Sydney makes perfect sense. It is the place that defined her, and she already seems like she'll be a fighter...like both her Mom and Dad.

I'm so proud of Heather for finally getting out of that toxic relationship. I know how hard it would be to leave someone you have so much history (good or bad) with. Not to mention walking away from a familiar situation into being on her own for the first time in ages.

Haha! Yep. Heather's gonna enjoy her freedom!

A group vacation to Fiji is just what everyone needs. But Corey is gonna have a stroke He wasn't ready for his future mother-in-law to be such a handful.

It really does sound like paradise. Makes me miss the beach. Ugh. I wanna go back, like, NOW!

An ideal location for a wedding. Corey and Heather's hearts are in the right place. Most of the important people in their lives are already there, and they know how they feel, so why wait?

Ah. I see Jade's point, too. They are just now settled into being a couple after touring and all, plus they're adjusting to being parents. They don't need to run down the aisle. Again, they love each other. A piece of paper doesn't make it any less real.

Ouch! Her words were harsh, but..... She's not exactly wrong. He doesn't seem to have thought his other relationships through, and they failed. He really needs to know what he wants this time, make sure he and Jelly are on the same page and aiming for the same goals.

The fact that they were able to talk about it and be so open and honest, that's a good sign. I'm glad Corey understood that it didn't mean she doesn't see a future with him, just that they need to enjoy every stage of their relationship and when the wedding happens, they'll enjoy that too.

Corey has now been told the same advice, generally, by his two best friends. Don't fuck shit up! Here's hoping he doesn't.

She admitted she was falling for him!!!!!! It's about time. She already knows he cares for her.

Oh goody. Her dad is as toxic and controlling as her dead husband

She is very level-headed and rational about him leaving for tour. I guess it had to be in the back of her mind because she knew what he did for a living. Turning it into a cookout instead of having as much one-on-one time as she can get before he leaves?? No way. Lol. I'm too selfish for that.

Oh, shit! His ex gave it to him straight. He clearly wasn't thinking...or at least not with the head on his shoulders. And now they've had the kid talk. He doesn't know exactly where he is with that, already having multiple children, but he'd better figure it out!

It was nice of Scarlett to offer to come back and to give Jade a little advice. Jade is out of her depth with Corey; she can definitely use the help.

It's always awkward when one of your parents is talking to your partner! Oh, jeez. Lol. Between that and the comment made by Griff, I would be nervous about what I was getting into.

It is crazy to run off on tour with him, but why the hell not? She has spent a lot of years not living life to the fullest because of Brad and appearances. Now she can do what she wants and be what she wants!

Corey! Wording, you idiot! Lol. He should be better at social media than this! Her reaction was great, though. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter. They know what's going on between them and that's the important part.

Getting the house squared away has to be a huge weight off her mind. She doesn't need the money and she helped a friend. Win/win.

And Jim for the win again, asking if they've had sex in the bunk Priceless!

Ugh. Steph and her divorce drama Whatever. Get out of high school.

Jim needs him a cougar!

I KNEW IT! I KNEW SHE WAS PREGO! OH MY GOD! Jim telling Corey this is his last kid and he'd better "wife this chick." Do it, Corey!

And he did it. He proposed! Oh. That was beautiful. I think I teared up a little. *sniffle*

Not even gonna lie... I kinda suspected he was bringing her mom out. I didn't really think about Griff, though! What a wonderful surprise! She wouldn't have been lonely with Ryan, but it's even better with those two there.

What. The. Fuck?!?!?!?!? Why? Why would those people react so angrily and start beating up a pregnant woman and a teenage boy? Like. Fuck. Chill out, assholes! It was an accident! I just hope Bean is okay...

Jim really did make the right decision. Telling Corey prior to the show wouldn't have done anyone any favors. He couldn't get to her, but his reaction would have led to either a canceled show or a terrible one for the fans. I'm glad Corey was able to reason that out, even through his blind panic, instead of just punching his friend in the face in a fit of rage. Now he just has to focus on getting back to Sydney.

I'm gonna stop here for now. I'll be back! :P

@ PhenoBarbiDoll
Wow....have you been reading this in like one go and are now trying to piece it together for commenting? Better than receiving 40+ smaller comments!
I really do have to wrap this one up, it’s been weighing on me, especially as I am not far off

Okay. I'm gonna comment on, well, mostly everything. This could get wordy. Lol.

It would be a struggle to lose someone that way. Death is hard enough when it's a naturally occurring thing. I can't imagine the shock of having someone torn away.

My brother was stung by a jellyfish once. They just put vinegar on it. I wonder how the piss rumor got started... It was nice of the men to help her, and nice of Corey to carry her things, taking the chance that she could be a fan.

Hahaha! How awkward. I mean, not really, since she doesn't know she's talking to the author of the book, but still. And awkward for Corey, asking about her husband, even though he obviously had no idea what he was stepping into.

She clearly finds Corey easy to talk to. Sometimes people just connect. And she has a sense of trust with him and his friends, hence her going to bed and leaving them to wrap up the party without her. Good houseguests, too, cleaning up the mess. They owe her since she fed them. Lol.

And so we start to see the cracks in her and Brad's relationship! That maybe it wasn't an ideal union. I mean, obviously Brad was already kinda questionable, given how he died.

I don't blame Jade for snapping at Corey about getting a grip and not committing suicide on her watch. But he has his demons, too. She's not the only one who's tragic.

I love how their relationship develops. It's kinda fast, yet natural. They skip all the little bullshit and bare their darkness from the word "go" and it just...ties them together, irrevocably. And deciding to share a bed the night before he's due to leave??? Yeah, like we didn't think that would end in SEXY TIME! Yessssss!

Awe! I love Corey's friendship with his son! Griff seems like a smart kid!

Corey to the rescue! Be Jade's white knight! Well, behind her neighbor, apparently. It's good she has someone around, since she's on her own. She needs a friendly face in Cali.

Jim is the best. That is all. Lol. I love his threat to swoop in if Corey doesn't make a move fast enough

Okay. That's about the halfway point. I'll wrap it up in another comment, after I message you back on FB

Awesome update!

@ Twisted;;Symphony
phewwwww....I haven't updated in so long, it was just pouring out of me last night! here's hoping that the inspiration sticks around for a while, now that "lovey dovey" is over for at least a while!

@ Jbarnett
hahaha, that he is! There is no discussion about the way she feels for him but the male species look at this less pragmatic than most us fe,ales do!

Oh no. Can’t wait for the next update!

Oh snap! Well, if we are being honest here, Jade did have a point....the man is on his third marriage in real life lol

@ tennisPRO
It had to be a curveball! Never been someone for happy endings right off the batt!

Oh man that is not at all how I expected their trip to go! It's like one obstacle after another for them. Can't wait for the next update!

@ ProverbofHell
Thats totally understandable. I am just at the start of all your stuff so I have enough to look forward to. I'll also look for your new stuff. All the best wishes back to Australia too

@ vengeance_girl
I am not a massive fan of Jim Root so don’t believe that I’d be able to pull of friends a Jim story. But I am currently working on something new, which I am terribly excited about!
Viele Grüße nach Deutschland!

I'm all for a loving ending. This story is so good are you planning on doing one for jim too? That would be awesome! Take care.

@ kiss my sas

Last time I saw them, I was pregnnat with my daughter...10 or so years ago with Machine Head supporting them, Two blackouts during machine Head. SK are too much noise for me, no one needs that many percussionists/drummers. Meh

@ ProverbofHell
That's true. And SK will never live up to their 2012 performance I saw... Perfection, man... Now they are dropping people left right and centre!

@ kiss my sas
I decided against it: Metallica are a shadow of themselves with James' lost vocal range and never been too keen on SK...not even Taylor can justify THAT kinda money for me :)
Enjoy though and make sure to get on it, soon, tickets are selling fast!

@ ProverbofHell
I defs will do!
At the moment I have no plans :P so so so tempted to get tickets to slipknot and Metallica though!! Might ask for them for my bday :P

@ kiss my sas
Don't worry darling, no harm done :)
Once this story ends, you should message me if you're headed to any gigs in Sydney, maybe we can catch up! Sevendust being my next gig in April!
Full steam ahead, you've got this!
