(yeah it's late explanation at the end.)


I was sitting in the dining room and watching my mom run around the kitchen. She was going back and forth to the oven, checking up on her brownies. I sighed. She was only freaking out because we were going over to the Danforths' house for a dinner and she wanted her brownies to be perfect. I didn't even get what the big deal was – they were our friends. It's not like they would judge us because the brownies weren't symmetrically cut or something.

'Are you ready?' Dad asked when he walked into the kitchen. He was fixing his tie, but he wasn't doing a very good job at it. Mom looked at him.

'Yes, I'm just waiting for the brownies to be done' she answered. I groaned in frustration.

'Mom, they are done. They've been ready for like 10 minutes now' I said. My mother gave me a disapproving look.

'Taylor, be patient. A few minutes and they'll be ready. I don't want to put raw brownies on other people's table. Can you image how embarrassing that would be?' she said with horror and walked back to the oven. I sighed and my father chuckled.

'Your mother's right, Tay' he said, winking at me. 'That would be awful.'

'Exactly!' Mom added. 'The Danforths are classy people; we can't turn out to be savages!'

I giggled when my dad rolled his eyes jokingly. My mom had her moments of overreacting and the only thing we could do was let her deal with it her way.

'Hey people' Destiny said as she walked into the room. 'Are we going or what?'

'We're waiting for the brownies' I explained with fake excitement. My sister shook her head and looked at Mom.

'I've spent half day trying to find some decent clothes to fit in and then I spent the other half squeezing into them… and now you're making me wait?' she asked. Mom waved her hand.

'Just a moment. Ugh, you are all so impatient. Just like your father.'

Dad raised his eyebrows. 'Excuse me?'

'Yeah, you heard me. They seem to have taken all the negative characteristics from you. Now fix this tie or just take it off, because you look sloppy' she said. And with that she left the room. My father stood there for a moment, a little shocked. Destiny patted his shoulder.

'It's okay, Pops. Happens every month. You should have gotten used to it over the years' she said and fixed his tie. Dad slowly nodded his head.

'I thought I was… But your mother never fails to surprise me..' he said quietly. Destiny straightened out his tie, stepped back and looked at him.

'Hmm… Taylor, come here.'

I got up from the chair and stood next to her. 'What?'

'Tie on or off?' she asked. I looked at Dad.

'Hmm.. well it does make him look all stiff and serious-' I started, but she didn't even let me finish. She grabbed Dad's tie, loosened it up and took it off. She threw it over to me and fixed his collar. Then she stepped back and took another look at him.

'Better now?' she asked. I nodded my head.

'Yeah, he looks laid back… and a lot younger' I admitted.

'I know, right? This is way better; he's wearing a shirt, so it's not too laid back, but also not too formal. It's just right.'

Our father started at us in silence. He wasn't sure what we were doing, but he seemed to trust our opinion.

'I'm startin' to miss Tony…' he said. 'This house has become a lot more… feminine.'

Destiny and I laughed.

'It's okay Daddy, soon you'll have another man around here' Destiny smiled and rubbed her belly. Dad smiled and was about to say something, when Mom stormed into the room.

'Why aren't you guys paying any attention to my brownies?' she demanded to know. We all stared at her in silence, even though each of us wanted to say they were ready two hours ago.

'I can't rely on any of you, can I?' she rhetorically questioned and turned the oven off. We watched her put the mitts on and take out the brownies. 'Oh, I think they might have burned a little.'

I was about to scream in frustration, but my dad nudged me gently and walked up to Mom.

'No, they're just fine, baby. Look, only this one is a bit burnt. The rest is fine' he assured. She smiled.

'You're right. Now we just need to wait a moment for them to cool.'

I slapped my forehead and sat down at the table. I was slowly getting sick of all of this, but I knew my Mother did get weird once a month and I kept telling myself it was normal. Instead of saying something that could upset her, I rested my head on the table.

'Taylor, honey, are you okay?' she asked. I kept my head on the table.

'Yes, perfectly fine, Mom' I replied.

'You know what, Deb' Dad started. 'Maybe we can just pack them up and bring them to the Danforths' now. They will cool off while we eat dinner. I mean, if we wait any longer, we will be late.'

'You're right' Mom admitted. 'Get ready, girls. We're leaving in 5 minutes.'

She headed upstairs to finish getting ready. Dad sighed and sat next to me.

'This should be over in a few days…' he said and rubbed my back. I lifted my head up and looked at him.

'It's like she loses all common sense…' I said blankly. Destiny laughed.

'Welcome to our family, Taylor.'

We've been waiting for long enough, so we could wait for Mom for another 5 minutes or so. She finally came downstairs, we packed up the brownies and left the house. My mother proudly carried the brownies to our neighbors' house, while we just followed her. When we were all at the doorstep, Dad rang the doorbell.

'Hello' Ms. Rossi greeted us with a smile when she opened the door. We all said our "hellos" and "good afternoons" and walked inside the house. Ms. Rossi closed the door and turned to us.

'Let me take this from you, Debra' she said and reached for the brownies. My mom handed her the package and they both headed towards the Danforth kitchen talking about whatever they were talking about. Mr. Danforth came into the hall. He was holding little Charlie, who was wearing an adorable green onesie.

'Charlie look, we have guests' he said. Destiny turned to him, saw little Charlie and literally lost her mind.

'Awwwww, look at you!' she squealed and tickled Charlie's foot. 'You are so adorable!'

My dad looked at the baby in his friend's arms and smiled. 'So that's the 3rd Danforth, huh?'

'Yeah, that's Charles' Mr. Danforth said and looked down at Charlie with a proud smile on his face. 'I think I might have a future member of your team, coach.'

My father laughed. 'That's for sure. Especially if he's as talented as Chad. Too bad I need to wait so long for another Danforth on my team.'

'Eh, won't be that long! Let him learn how to walk and he's yours' Mr. Danforth said jokingly and my dad chuckled. He gently stroked Charlie's hand with his finger.

'He's so cute!' Destiny kept exciting over Charlie. He kept looking at her, probably wondering what the weird lady with a big belly wanted from him.

'Would you want to hold him?' Mr. Danforth asked. Destiny nodded her head and carefully took Charlie from his father. Mr. Danforth straightened his back and smiled.

'I'm leaving you in good hands, buddy' he said to Charlie and then looked at my dad. 'Shall we move on to the living room?'

'Yeah, let's go' Dad replied and they headed to the living room, leaving Charlie, Destiny and me in the hall. I looked at my sister.

'Isn't he adorable?'

'He is' she said and looked down at Charlie, who clearly didn't mind Destiny holding him. She always had a way of dealing with kids.

Chad walked down the stairs and smiled when he saw us. 'Hey guys.'

'Hey Fuzzy' my sister said. 'Cute brother you got here.'

Chad chuckled and stood in front of us. 'Thanks I guess… But seriously, the compliments should be going to my parents…'

My sister and I giggled. Suddenly Mr. Danforth walked into the hall.

'Listen' he told Chad. 'If you don't want your mother to find out before you're ready to tell her, you kids better go hang out where she can see you.'

Destiny gasped. 'Wait, you know too?' she asked in shock. Mr. Danforth wasn't sure what she meant at first, but nodded his head a moment later. 'Don't you also think they should tell?'

Chad and I looked away from them. Wow, leave it to my sister to make everything uncomfortable.

'Yeah, I do' Mr. Danforth admitted. 'But it's up to them. And if they wanna keep a secret, they better act like there's no secret at all.'

He smiled at us and headed to the dining room. The three of us, plus Charlie on Destiny's arms, followed him.

The dinner passed in peace, meaning our parents and Destiny got engaged in the conversation and Chad and I were quiet for 90% of the time. Rule number one: don't speak unless you're spoken too. Besides, I was glad because I really didn't have to say anything.

It kind of made me feel awkward that Chad's father knew about us being together and I wasn't completely sure why. At first I thought it was because he caught us kissing, but it wasn't it. Mr. Danforth was a really cool guy and he stayed out of Chad's business. He wouldn't bring it up ever again. I was just happy Ms Rossi wasn't the one who walked in on us; if she saw her son pushing his tongue in my mouth, we both wouldn't be able to look at each other for some time.

'So, when are you leaving, Michael?' my father asked Mr. Danforth. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up at everybody.

'This Friday' Chad's dad replied. He grabbed the bottle of coke and poured himself some.

'That's too bad' Dad said. 'You just arrived and you have to go back already?'

'Yeah, I've got a lot to take care of. The job's demanding… I'm happy I could get away for two weeks at least. And I hate to leave Carla with everything… At least this guy will be in charge' he said and pointed at Chad, who was sitting across from me.

'Even though we both know that's a bad idea' Chad said and everyone laughed. Mr. Danforth nodded his head.

'Not unless you suck it up and become more responsible, son' he said and winked at his son. Everyone looked at him, but Chad just nodded his head.

'I'll do my best.'

'Now that's my boy' Mr. Danforth said proudly. The adults went back to their conversation, while Chad and I locked eyes. He nodded his head to the side as if he wanted to ask if we should leave. I shrugged my shoulders. Chad nodded and cleared his throat.

'Um… Can Taylor and I be excused?' he asked. My eyes widened. This was it. They were going to ask why and we would have to tell them. I hoped Chad had a good lie in his sleeve because I went speechless.

'Umm…' Mr. Danforth started and he looked at everyone at the table. They all had confused looks on their faces, but Mr. Danforth smiled. 'Yeah, of course. There's no point you guys sit here and listen to our boring conversations. Go on.'

I glanced at my parents, who both slowly nodded their heads. Chad and I got up from our seats and walked out of the dining room. He lead me to the hall.

'What was that?' I whispered once we far enough from the dining room. 'They could have started asking questions. And I don't want to lie to them.'

'I knew my dad would save the situation' Chad said and smiled. 'And he did, so you have nothing to worry about. Come on, let's go outside.'

'Why? Can't we just stay here?'

'We can, but our parents are here also' he pointed out. I nodded my head and walked outside of the house. Chad followed me.

'So, why did you excuse us?' I asked once we were outside. He closed the door and put his hands in his pockets.

'I don't know… I guess I just wanted to be alone with you' he said and smiled. I blushed and looked away from him.

'Okay then, we're alone… What now?'

He looked around and then started walking towards my house. 'Let's go sit on your porch. They won't see us there.'

I stared at him for a moment before following him. I realized I needed to learn how to control myself. Otherwise I'd do anything he told me to.

We walked through the gate between our yards and sat down on the porch steps. Chad looked at me.

'You look nice, Tay' he said and smiled at me. I blushed again and looked down at my blue dress. Suddenly I was glad my mom made me dress up that day.

'Thanks… You also look good.' It was true, I rarely had a chance of seeing Chad in a button up shirt. He chuckled and looked down.

'Ah yeah, well my mother insisted I wore something… "appropriate". So here I am. To be honest it's not my thing, but as long as you like it-'

'I love it' I cut him off. He looked at me and smiled.

We sat in silence, just looking at the street. Sometimes some alone time with Chad was all I needed. We talked about everything or didn't say anything. It was perfect either way.

'Tay?' he said suddenly. I looked at him.

'Yeah?'

'You know… I was planning on telling my mom about us…'

'Really?'

'Yeah' he said and leaned on his elbows on the step behind him. 'She's been saying what a good girl you are and that you've got a good influence on me and stuff… She'd probably be happy if I told her the truth.'

'So why don't you?' I asked and leaned closer to him. He shrugged.

'I don't know… It's my mom… It's weird… I don't even know how to start the conversation. I wish she just asked about it herself. Then I could just be like "yeah, we're dating". Just like I did with my dad…'

'Oh yeah, what did he say anyways?'

'He just walked up to me when I was washing the dishes… And he was like "so, you and Taylor, huh?" and I just said "yeah". And that's it. He didn't ask anything' he told me and looked into my eyes. I giggled.

'So that's how men talk, huh?' I asked jokingly. He chuckled.

'Yeah, that's what it's like… And with my mom it would be different' he said and winced at the thought. 'You know, she'd ask all those weird questions… And she'd make everything all awkward for us…'

I laughed and stroked his cheek. 'Hey, don't worry yet. Maybe it won't be that bad.'

'Yeah, probably' he said and smirked. 'I think you could inspire me by telling your parents about us.'

I leaned back and sighed. 'It's not that easy… and no, it's not the same.'

Chad laughed. 'It's the same thing.'

'No, it's not. I mean, I could tell my mom… She likes you and she'd probably have nothing against it… But you know my dad.'

'Yeah' he sighed. 'I know how it is.'

'I mean, I don't want you to suffer because of that. He might give you a hard time-'

'I don't mind' he cut me off and looked into my eyes again. 'As long as he lets you see me, it's okay.'

I smiled and shook my head. 'You'll be begging me to break up with you once he starts torturing you.'

'Oh, come on' Chad smiled. 'He's been torturing me for 2 years already. I can handle a few more years.'

'A few more years? How about an eternity?' I asked jokingly. He chuckled.

'Hey, anything for you.'

I smiled, leaned in and pecked him on the lips. 'Is it too late for a good morning kiss?'

'Well, it is like 7PM already… But no, it's never too late for a good morning kiss. Especially when it's the first kiss that day' he said and smiled.

'Well then, how about a second kiss?'

'I'm already planning the fifth one' he said with a smirk. I giggled and started leaning in, but I got distracted. I looked up and saw Mrs. Brown, our neighbor, pulling up in front of her house. I lightly pushed Chad away. He noticed Mrs. Brown and cleared his throat.

'Good afternoon, Mrs. Brown' Chad greeted when she got out of her car. She looked at us and smiled.

'Good afternoon, kids. How are you?'

'Fine' we both replied. Mrs. Brown opened the trunk and took two heavy looking bags out. She closed the trunk and struggled to pick them up.

'Do you need help, ma'am?' Chad asked and ran towards her to help. He didn't even give her a chance to say yes; he just picked them up and started carrying the bags to her doorstep.

'Thank you, Chad.' She smiled and looked at me. 'Such a nice, sweet boy.'

'Yes. He is.'

The dinner ended at 8PM. We said our goodbyes and left. My parents didn't ask why Chad and I were gone for so long or what we were doing, but I sort of wished they did. Chad was right; telling them would be so much easier if they just asked about it.

The next day was the last day of summer. The last day of freedom. We'd soon have to go back to responsibilities, such as homework and studying. We didn't want to let it go just yet. Instead of staying at home and preparing for the next day, Chad, Gaby, Troy and I decided to go to the school yard… Well, the guys decided they'd play basketball while Gaby and I had no better idea so we chose to watch them.

'Is it weird I'm excited for school tomorrow?' Gaby asked once we got comfortable on the tribune. I shrugged.

'I don't know… Depends what you mean by that.'

'By excited I mean I'm happy to finally see our friends… to sit in those chairs again… Hell, I'm even happy to finally see the teachers.'

I laughed and shook my head. 'Normal people would say it's weird… But I'll be honest with you… I sort of missed it too.'

'Right? There's just something about that building… I don't know, it's special.'

'Maybe they just brainwashed us to think that…' I said and we both laughed.

'I don't know Tay, all I know is that soon I will regret missing it. Junior year! We won't have time for anything! I mean we need to be preparing for the senior year, start looking for colleges' Gaby started freaking out. I rolled my eyes.

'Calm down, girl. We still have time. And you already know where you're going. Columbia, isn't it?'

'Yeah' she nodded her head. 'But you know, anything can happen. I want to stay updated in case they change something about enrollment or whatever.'

'You know, most people leave it until the senior year' I said. Gaby gave me a shocked look.

'That's a dumb thing to do! I mean, who does that?'

'Those two for example' I said and pointed at our boyfriends running around the court. Gaby sighed.

'You're right. We gotta talk some sense into them. Otherwise, they'll wake up at the graduation with no plans for the future.'

'They don't have to plan anything yet… Let them have some time to enjoy themselves before they start worrying.'

Gaby gave me a surprised look. 'Um, Taylor? Is that you? Because you don't sound like Taylor at all. Don't you have it all figured out yet?'

'I did… I thought I did…. but now I don't know what I want' I admitted. 'I want to do law… economics… politics. But when I think about it, only law and economics can get me a steady future.'

'Hey, don't worry' Gaby said. 'At least you got something planned.'

'No, I don't have anything planned… I don't even know where I want to go after high school.'

'Didn't you plan Stanford or Yale?'

'Yeah, I did… but I thought about it and I realized they're both awfully far away. I'd be away from my family, my friends…'

'Oh, Tay! Then come to Columbia with me!' she suggested. I looked at her.

'And study what?'

'Whatever you choose! You still have time to think it through. When you have the university figured out, you're half way done.'

'You think?'

'Yeah! Come on, how awesome would it be? We could live together and stuff! We wouldn't be alone in a huge city; we'd have each other!' she said excitedly. I smiled.

'Well, when you put it like that…'

'Is that a yes?'

'I still have to think about it…. But most probably, yeah.'

'Yaay!' Gaby squealed and hugged me. I laughed and hugged her back.

'You guys okay?' Chad called from the court.

'Yeah!' I yelled back. 'Don't worry, everything is fine!'

'Okay!' he replied, smiled and got back to shooting hoops. Gaby nudged me gently.

'Did you tell your parents yet?'

'No, not yet.'

'How come?'

'I just didn't have the opportunity to… Plus, I don't know how to tell them.'

'How long are you going to keep that a secret?' she asked. I shrugged.

'I don't know. Not for long, because I'm getting tired of hiding it.'

'And what about school?'

'It's still going to be a secret until we decide otherwise… You know, it's Chad Danforth. Every time he starts dating someone, it's a big deal. I just don't want all the attention and stuff… I'm just scared a little.'

'Tay' Gaby said and took my hand. 'Don't worry. I told you already; you're dating Chad, not the whole school. Who cares about what the people think.'

'Yeah.' I smiled weakly. 'I guess you're right.'

She smiled at me and rubbed my arm.

'Hey girls' Troy called from the court. We both looked at him. 'You guys wanna join us? It's kind of boring playing one-on-one all day.'

'Sure!' Gaby answered. I shook my head.

'You go. I'm fine here' I said. She nodded and climbed down the tribune. I picked up my book from the seat and continued reading where I left off. A few minutes later I heard someone climbing up towards me. I glanced up and saw Chad coming. I looked back down at my book.

'Wow' he said sitting down next to me. 'I need a break.'

'You okay?' I asked, not taking my eyes off the book.

'Yeah' he replied and reached for his water bottle. He opened it and literally poured half a bottle down his throat. He closed the bottle and put in between his feet. He wiped his mouth with his hand and peeked over my shoulder. 'What you got there?'

'Our new history book' I explained. He winced.

'Oh come on, Tay! We still have one day left. Don't ruin it with this' he begged. I giggled.

'I'm just looking through it.'

'No, you're not. You're reading it and remembering everything, so you can show off in class later on' he said jokingly. I laughed, closed the book and looked at him.

'No, I'm not!'

'You're right. You already know all of that' he said with a smile. 'The truth is I'm jealous of that book.'

I laughed again. 'Oh really?'

'Yeah. It gets to be touched by you, it gets to be in your lap… You look at it all the time. And I'm sitting here all lonely….' he said and made a sad baby face. I giggled and stroked his cheek.

'Poor thing. You want the feel like the book does?' I asked. Chad smiled and nodded his head. I took the book off my lap and put in next to me. 'Come here, I can pretend you're a book.'

Chad laughed, stretched his legs over the seats, lied down and rested his head on my lap. I smiled down at him.

'Are you happy now?' I asked. He grinned.

'Of course. How could not be? I finally have the perfect view' he said with a smirk. I laughed and ran my fingers through his hair.

'I hope you're as interesting as the book. Otherwise I'm returning you.'

'You can't. You don't have the receipt' he said jokingly. I smiled.

'Damn. What now?'

'I guess you'll just have to keep me whether you like it or not' he said and closed his eyes.

'I guess I'll have to' I said as I played with one of his locks. I stared down at his face and realized I wanted everyone to know he was mine and no one else's. But as soon as I thought about that, I got second thoughts.

'Chad?' I said quietly.

'Yeah?'

'I'm scared.'

Chad's eyes shot opened. 'Of what?'

'How are we going to tell everyone at school about us….?'

Chad sighed and sat up. 'Listen Tay' he said and looked at me. 'Don't worry. Everything will be okay. No one's gonna give you a hard time because of me, I promise. I won't let anyone do that, okay?'

'But what if-?'

'No "ifs", Tay' he cut me off. 'You just keep your head up high and pay no attention to annoying people. I know you can do that.'

'I can try… But Chad-?'

'No "buts" either. You just relax. We'll tell them when we're both ready, alright?' he asked and took my hand in his. 'Everything is going to be okay. I promise. Okay?'

I looked into his eyes and nodded my head. 'Okay.'

'Great' he smiled. 'Now, can you smile for me?'

'I don't feel like it.'

'Don't make me make you smile' he warned jokingly. I raised an eyebrow and tried not to smirk.

'What do you mean?'

'Oh, you wanna see?'

'Maybe.'

'Okay then, Tay. You asked for this' he said and buried his face in my neck. I giggled.

'That's not that bad' I pointed out. He looked up at me.

'But I got you to smile' he said grinning. I stared into his eyes for a moment.

'That's true' I whispered and touched his cheek. When he looked down at my lips, I unconsciously licked them. Chad slowly leaned in and I pressed my lips against his. I felt chills running down my spine when he rested his hands on my waist and pulled me a bit closer to him. I moved my hand to the back of his head and tangled my fingers in his hair. His lips slowly parted and I felt his tongue at my bottom lip. I hesitated before opening my lips, but I did it anyway. I didn't want to ruin our perfect moment. I got scared when his tongue brushed lightly against mine; I slightly jerked my head away and I felt Chad smile into the kiss. He tried once again and this time I was a bit more confident. Our tongues brushed against each other gently a few times before I pulled away. He kept his eyes closed and smiled.

'Not bad' he said, referring to my skills. I took a deep breath and giggled.

'I know… But I'll still need some practice' I said and smirked. Chad opened his eyes and smiled dreamily.

'I'm more than willing to help you.'

I laughed and leaned back on the backrest. Chad smiled and once again lied down, resting his head on my lap. My hand travelled to his hair right away and he did not seem to mind that at all.

'You know what, I can't wait until we tell everybody we're together just so I can rub it into people's faces' he said. I giggled.

'Why would you do that?'

'Because I love when people envy me. Besides, I also want to see my exs' faces.'

I sighed. 'I don't think they'll be too happy.'

'That's the point' he said and looked at me. 'Most of them were mean to you. Don't you want to get them back?'

'Well… That doesn't sound like a bad idea, you know. I mean, who cares about most of them. But Paige was a total bitch face…' I said as I twirled some of his hair around my finger. He smiled at me.

'That's the spirit, Tay.'

'I don't want to rub it in anyone's face, though.'

'Why not?'

'Because it will make them mad either way' I said with a smile. Chad laughed.

'It's gonna be so much fun.'

'I know…'

'Hey Danforth!' we heard someone call Chad. We both looked at the court and saw a group of Chad's teammates walking towards us. Chad rapidly sat up and moved away from me.

'Hey guys!' he greeted when they walked up to the tribune. They all had somewhat confused looks on their faces.

'Um… We came to shoot some hoops… You wanna join us or…. are you busy?' one guy, Trevor asked and glanced at me. I rolled my eyes and picked up my book.

'No, of course I'm not' Chad said, kind of nervously He got up and climbed down the tribune. 'Let's go!'

'Alright' Trevor said when he walked up to them.

'Dude, what are you doing with coach's daughter?' Andy whispered to Chad. He knocked the ball out of Andy's hands and walked towards the court.

'Nothing. Now, can we play?' he asked. The guys followed him in silence.

I opened my book and hid my face behind it. That's it. They saw us. The secret was gone. Everyone would find us soon. Was I scared? A little. But then I felt relieved. I mean, those guys could spread rumors at the speed of light. If they told everyone then we wouldn't have to. We could skip the weird and awkward part and just move on to the part where everyone hates on me. Okay, I was freaking out again. All I could do was pretend nothing ever happened and hope Chad could convince the boys nothing was going on between us.

Taylor M.


Okay, so this was a short chapter. It was supposed to be longer but I had to decide between making it longer and having you guys get even more angry at me for it being late OR upload it ASAP. So here it is. The next one will be longer, I promise.

Now, I know you guys already hate me because I never update on time and I totally understand. I hate it too, but this time it had nothing to do with my laziness. The few last weeks of school were really hard because I had to fix most of my grades etc. I was in no mood to write and I honestly had no time. And the vacation here has started two weeks ago, but I left the same day the school year ended. I traveled 4 countries away with my family to go to seaside and see some of my friends who live there. Yes, I had my computer with me (that was the most important thing to take ;)) but while I was locked up in a room with my family members, including my little cousin, it was impossible to sit down and write anything. I came back yesterday at night and finished this chapter just a minute ago. That's my story.

And now - rant time. I get why you guys get angry when I don't update on time, I really do. But what's funny is that when I update I one, maybe two reviews. However, when the chapter is late, I get SIX angry reviews telling me I "have to update or else". I don't know if those are one person or more, but come on. Are you only gonna yell at me but give me no feedback? :/ And seriously, make accounts so I can message you and let you know why I'm unable to update, because I can't reply to guest reviews. Thanks.

I'm sorry about this, but it was in me for a while now and I just had to get it out there. No hard feelings, though, because I love you all and really appreciate your support 3 3 Just try to understand. :)

Thanks for reading and yeah I guess don't forget to review if you want to it really does good and motivates me ;)
