Sorry for the sad ending but that's kinda how the first season ended too:) I will be taking a momentary break (a few days. A week at most) to transfer this part over to Wattpad, Archive of our own, and Tumblr. Also, I'm going to try and write a few chapters for my other stories which I have neglected because I've been enjoying writing this story so much! I hope you liked the first part!/p
