Hello all; This is an update. First off, I want to make a shout out to crafordbrian17, I am working with this person on another story while I publish this one. I am glad to help and thank you again for reaching out to me. Means a lot. Now I want to address a comment someone made. It asked why Ashley was guilty of anything. First off. Thank you. you were not spiteful or mean. You simply asked a question, so here is my answer. Hopefully I can clarify for the better. What Ashley did wrong was all in the past save for the bullying. Her crimes to Lynn specifically were as follows. She condemned her existence; remember the sharpie thing I brought up. She was a part of that, (do not worry. I will explore that here). She also helped to bully people. She said she helped the bullies. Finally, and this is the worst thing that was committed by her. She used Lynn's sexuality against her. A secret she could have simply rejected. What if I was a friend who had some problem; hypothetically let's use IBS, and it was to a degree that this friend needed a diaper all the time or something. If I used that information as a weapon. Would that be cool, I don't think so. (By the way the site is doing something weird with formatting, I don't know if I can fix it). Also if you think I dislike Ashley as person. I don't, I think peer pressure and confusion created a vacuum and she was a child so she was sucked in. That is why I play her as confused. Not mean. She was scared; Not mad on that hill. I did that on purpose. I hope this helped.
I will be posting Chapter 18 soon. Tomorrow hopefully. I just wanted to provide an update an answer the question asked.
