I'm back! Thanks for reviewing, Quinn-luvs-ya and Hammsters. Whoever katie was, I updated "Slave To Passion".

Abby thought about the book all the way to school, and started to talk about it with her best friend Michaela before the beginning. "I still don't get how my dad could just kiss my mom and she'd go all blissful. She doesn't do that now."

Mickie tossed her head in mock exasperation. "Abby, she was a teenager back them. Teenagers have these things called hormones, which make them feel strange things at certain actions. Anyway, I can't believe your mom trusted you that much not to read it. My mom wouldn't do that."

Abby's eyes lit up when she realized Mickie understood it. "What about the begging? I don't get what she wanted."

"She wanted your dad to keep doing what he was doing." Mickie said easily, not even needing to know what scene it was. "Anyway, go on with the story! What happened?"

Abby sighed. "It's too hard to talk about it happening to my parents. I can't see Mama as the Katie in the book, or Dad as book-Jack, either. So I'll just refer to them by their first names. Anyway, so they have a few more little encounters in the clearing, and Katie's getting really worried about her friend, Abby. Thing is, this other boy is really hurting-" the bell rang.

"Class," said the teacher, "Today we have a new student. Her name is Lily." Lily was small and slim with green eyes and curly auburn hair. She smiled nervously, and chose a seat next to Abby.

Naturally, Abby and Mickie talked to her at break. Lily kept looking at Abby in an intense way.

"Do you need something?" Abby finally asked.

Lily glanced at the ground. "Sorry. You just look like a girl I've seen in my mom's school photos. Think her name was Kate or something."

Abby frowned. "Really? What's your mother's name?"

"Sara." the girl said. Abby remembered Sara from the book, and that Lee, who teased Katie, even before he joined Jack's group.

Abby talked about it to Mickie and Lisa as they walked home.

"Why don't you ask her over to your house. Then your mom will meet her mom." suggested Mickie. "Anyway, you never finished telling me what happened on the island. You got to the bit when Mike pulled Katie out of the water."

"Well," said Abby, "There was a plane, and they were being rescued. The Abby in the book, she died on the island. Some of the other boys that first got stranded were missing too. Katie had hypothermia and had to go to hospital for a bit. All the girls went through therapy, and Rosie's pregnancy symptoms were actually incorrect. I'm wondering what happened to Heather. It never said."

"What happened to Dad then?" Lisa asked. "Did he go and apologize to Mama?"

Abby rolled her eyes. "Lis, you know they're together now. Do the maths." The girls stopped outside Mickie's house and said goodbye, then Abby and Lisa went home. Abby found Lily's number in the phone book, and asked her over to her house on the next Friday afternoon.

Friday came. Abby and Lily were getting to be pretty good friends, and Lily thought Lisa was an adorable younger sister. "I wish I had a little sister like her." she confided when the two girls got back to Abby's house.

"Maybe, but she's so annoying most of the time. Hey, did I tell you my mama was a writer?" Abby asked.

"Seriously?" Lily said. "That's so cool! What has she written?"

Abby grinned. "Quite a few things. All these short stories, and she was chosen to pick a bunch of short stories, like this one called The Sweetest Thing. Though she won't let me read that one in particular. She also wrote a true story, about when she first met my dad."

The girls just talked and played around with a few things for the afternoon. Lily met both of the girls' parents. Abby quietly told Lily a shortened version of the story, only keeping in the heat of when her parents met. Lily listened, wide-eyed.

"Your mom let herself get screwed illegally?" she gasped. "That is so wrong." Then she laughed.

Abby giggled. "She was nearly sixteen, so it wasn't that bad. I wonder what it felt like. It sounds like it was a good one." Both girls laughed, being too young to understand.

Finally, the time for the visit ended, and the doorbell rang. Katie answered it. "Oh, hi." She began. "You must be Lily's-" then she stopped, stared, and finally asked "Sara?"

The woman on the other side of the door looked at her and whispered "Katie?"

Katie finally smiled. "Come in, Sara! We have so much to catch up on. What happened to you? We lost touch after you moved schools."

Lily's mom frowned a little. "I know. I was still mad at you for the island thing."

"I understand why." Katie replied. "I'm sorry, but we better not talk about it in front of our daughters." she added quietly, glancing at her daughters.

"True." Sara admitted. "Um, are you – no, you wouldn't still be."

"What?" Katie asked.

"You just seemed like a one-true-love girl back then." Sara said. "But you can't still be with Jack, right?"

Katie's gaze dropped to the ground. "Actually, I am still with him."

"No!" gasped Sara. "I knew you were dating him in high school, but how could you still be-"

Katie smiled at her ex-schoolmate and co-survivor. "Sara, did you ever talk to him, apart from that remark about not letting us go because the boys don't respect girls? You can come and meet him right now. Why not?"

Sara became thoughtful for a moment, then smiled. "OK, Katie."

Lily and Abby watched as their mothers walked into the kitchen, talking like the best of friends. "What do you know?" Lily whispered. "Your mom is the one in my mom's school photos."

Abby smiled to herself. "I'm going to store up that info for when Mama says I can read the story under her permission."

The next chapter will have Abby and Lisa being older. I thought I should take a new turn with this sequel! Please review! Also, there's a poll on my profile. Please vote on that!
