DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT COMMENT ON THIS! IT IS NOT A CHAPTER!! IF YOU LEAVE A REVIEW, YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO LEAVE ANOTHER WHEN I REPLACE THIS NOTE AS A CHAPTER!!!

Okay, so I bet you're wondering why I'm leaving this author's note in the middle of my story. As I said above, do NOT review this as you will be unable to do so later on when this becomes a chapter. If you must truly say something, send me a personal message. That would be better. And trust me, you'll know when this becomes a chapter. I will delete this and then upload the chapter.

Let me first say that I am so sorry if some of you became excited to see that I had updated. I'm sorry I disappointed you, but there is a reason why. I'll get to that in a second.

Second, I am so sorry that I have yet to update. I know that some of you are anxious for another chapter, and probably impatient, and for that I am sorry.

Now, to my 'story'. My reason. Whatever you want to call it. I'm not going to go into detail because it's very personal. It's a family matter. Anyway, there was a family crisis a few weeks ago, April something. Or maybe March something. Goodness, I can barely remember now. It's been a while, to say the least. Anyway, this family crisis was something…big. Life altering. All I'm going to say is that it involved the police. That's it. I'm not going to say anymore. So I haven't been able to focus on this story.

And then there's work. Goodness how I hate my job. I don't like some of the people I work with, and all of their bullshit is finally stacking on top. It's becoming too much to handle, but I just can't quit because I have a chance at winning a scholarship. If I quit, I lose that eligibility. So that option is out. And I mean waaaaaaaay out.

And then I need to save up some money for school. School is so fucking expensive and I'm going to have to take out a student loan so I'm going to be in debt when I'm done university. I have practically no money. None. Zip. Nilch. So yeah, that worry adds on to the pile.

And then two more family crisis' popped up. Goodness, I have a lot of those.

And then I learned something about myself and I honestly don't know how to deal with everything. I've had about three breakdowns so far. Or more. Gah, I just don't remember. I barely remember anything anymore.

So I am just unable to concentrate on The Ones We Love but I promise that it will get finished. Eventually. I'm going to speak to someone so that I can get everything off my chest because at this moment, I just don't care about anything anymore. Seriously. So we'll see how Wednesday goes. I may become inspired and the writer's block may disappear. It may take more than one appointment. It probably will.

Anyway, please, please, please don't review this one. If you truly must say something, send me a personal message.

Thanks to all of you for your support and I am truly sorry about how long you've all been waiting. I just figured that, with everything going on, you all deserved an explanation. Sorry I'm so vague on the details but it is truly personal.

Thank you!
