*+*Dedication*+*
I wrote this story not only because I really go goo-goo-ga-ga over JC and Lance when they share those intimate moments on camera y'all know they share, but because I miss the tough love stories I use to write. To this day I haven't written a very good tough love story since The Ocean Series ended, so each attempt is something new. Especially since this was slash. It's been a fun ride with those guys, but they did help me out along the way...
Thank you...
Firstly
to myself. These past few months have been enduring and a lot of changes have
occurred in my life. Even though I always tend to lean on others for support, I
still made it through yet another trial in life.
To
Joshua and Lance, thank you for letting me tell a story about the trials and
tribulations of tough love. You guys have inspired me over the past few months.
I've always said people come and go in my life for a reason…thank you for
stepping in and carrying me through. Lance:

To
Bobbi, who has inspired me as a writer and as a friend. I feel like in some way
she has taken me under her wing and showed me a lot about the world. Our
weekends I live for…it's a break from life, reality and I can just be who I am
around her. It's been a long time since a friend has loved me for me, no matter
how crazy I get. Thank you.
To
Jess, thank you for all those late night talks. No matter how silly (salad,
dinner, dessert and a Timberlake Mint) or how much rambling is done ("okay,
so the first problem is, he should not be eating his French fries before his Big
Mac!"), it's given me what I so need at the end of the night - a break. A
break to stop thinking about the things in my life that consume me and give me
time to ramble on like the young person I am about senseless stuff that is
stupid to the world, but funny as hell to us. (Daddy, Uncle Josh, Uncle Lance,
and Uncle JuJu love you darling *hugs*.)
To Nickolas, everything is always because of you. Because of the person you are, I can grow and like other people, but always come home to you. You know I love you.
