Author's Note: ok, srry to disappoint you guys but this isnt a chapter. this is where i will be writting thank yous to my reviewers from the last chapterand there shall be some background info on the story and on the sequal.

Background: This story takes place before the book, but the Curtis parents are dead. (that little piece of info could have been helpful at the beginning of the story right lol.) I'm not sure if i ever told you this but Amber moved to Tulsa about a month or two before the story takes place, she just never met the outsidersbecause she didn't go out alot. She moved from San Francisco California. She's 16 at the beginning of the story and at the end she is amost 17.
I'm going to explain the whole deal with her father and mother just in case i confused some of you. Her father was abusive to Amber and her mother. Her mother wanted t oget a divorce and she wanted custody of Amber. When her mother told her father this, her father shot her in hopes that she would die so that he'd have to get custody of Amber. fortunatley, Amber comes and finds her mother in the nick of time. Her mother gets taken to the hospital but is in a comma. Amber's father brings her to Tulsa so they can escape the police and all their questioning. I hope that cleared everything up a bit. and if it didn't and i just made you more confuse then i'm sorry andyou should forget everything i justtold you lol.

Thank Yous: wow, i can't even begin to think of wat to say to all of my reviewers. i love you all! your so amazing. When i first started this story i figured that i'd only get about 20 reviews. Now, i have 97. I never thought people would love my story so much.

(thank yous forchap.17)

to any of the other reviews that have reviewed my storu in the past, thank you so much! every single review means alot to me.

About the Sequal: Ok, i had origionally planned for Amber to come back in the sequal to find out that Johnny is dead. this would mean that the sequal happens after the book. But, don't worry. I changed it. My friend gave me an idea and i decided that i'd just change the sequal a tiny bit.
In the sequal, Amber comes back to Tulsa. She has been gone for almost a year and is now 17. She comes back because the relative she was living with has been murdered and she fears that her father is the killer. When she returns to Tulsa she is greeted warmly by all the gang.She is happy until something happens and things start to go very wrong. (don't worry, the sequal is happier than the first story lol).

Preview of the Sequal: (the story isn't written in POV's)

Chapter 1

Bring Bring

The sound of a telephone could be heard ringing from inside a small Pennsylvania house. A 17yr old with wavy, dirty blonde hair came running out of her room and down the steps to grab the phone.

"Hello" she said.

"Hello Amber" a raspy voice on the other line said.

"Umm, I'm sorry but, do i know you?" the girl asked politley.

"Oh, come on now Amber. Don't you remember me?" the voice said.

"I'm sorry but I think you have the wrong number. My name isn't Amber. no one of that name lives here" the girl said. She was getting worried now. No one here inPennsylvania knew her name was Amber. They all knew her as Valery Parker. The only people that would know her name, besides family were her friends back in Tulsa and San Francisco (the place she lived before moving to Tulsa). Even then, no one from those two places were suppose to know where she lived, or her phone number.

ok, i think that's enough for now. The sequal will be up within the next week. I'm not sure what it will be called yet. In the mean time, if you want to read another of my stories then you can read Whatever You Do, Don't Scream. It's a horror story about a killer in Tulsa going around and killing people using Urban Legands.
