Hello my readers, unfortunately this is not another chapter, just an update.

I received an anonymous review from a "guest" stating "NOT WORTH THE READ...Poorly written, horrible plot, and what the hell is wrong with the authors imagination?!" Now I would address this person directly if they had enough balls to actually post a name, but since they prefer to hide as an unknown reader, then I shall make it public because obviously you have no respect for me, so why should I have respect for you?

First of all, NOT WORTH THE READ. Aha if it's so not worth the read, then why did you bother to read it in the first place, or make it through all the chapters? Personally, if I find something not worthy to be readable, I DON'T READ IT. So there must have been something to catch your attention.

Poorly written? I'm sorry I'm not an English major. Would you like all the authors on this site to have a Bachelor's degree in Literature or some crap? I'm nineteen years old, not a thirty five year old best selling author. I graduated high school with a 4.0 GPA and I was in Advanced English. I write the best that I can, and if you think you can do so much better than please tell me who you are so I can read what you've written. Looking back through all of my stories, I can clearly tell that I proofread and there are usually very little grammatical errors or misspellings. Surprised I know how to spell these words? I would be too from such a horrible writer like myself. *Roll eyes.*

Now, what exactly is so horrible about my plot? I provide an exposition when Kim tells Jack about what happened. Obviously the complication is Kim's trip to Chicago and what happened while she was there. The climax is when Brandon comes to Seaford and Jack and Kim try to solve this dilemma. Plus, I'm only on chapter 9, I haven't even finished the climax or began on the resolution. So don't critique my plot just yet.

Finally, what the hell is wrong with my imagination? Hm, good question. What the hell IS wrong with my imagination? I don't know, let's ask authors Stephen King and Dean Koontz about how they would answer that question. They are after all, very wealthy and popular authors, known for having sick and twisted minds but a brilliant imagination. Don't put another person's imagination down just because you're a close minded human being with a small imagination and apparently a very sensitive outlook on things. I do not enjoy the topics of rape or substance abuse. I do not wish it upon any person in this world. In fact, I wrote this story like this to empower women who go through this in real life. I have personally experienced substance abuse myself, as well as physical abuse from men. Although I have never been raped, I sympathize with those who have. Do not judge my story because you think I have a sick view on things, because that is not the case at all, and you do not know me.

Anyways...I apologize to everyone else for this little rant. One thing I do not stand for are rude people who put others down like insensitive assholes. If this story does offend anyone, I am truly sorry for that and I kindly suggest you stop reading if it does, because it is far from being over. The message of this story is not meant to offend. I haven't gotten to the good parts yet, but as this story comes to a close you will all see how strong I make Kim and how well she comes out of this. I don't want to give anything away for my readers but there is no tragic ending to this story. I only wish to give women hope for these kind of situations. That is what I'm using Kim for in this, to be a role model for those who do deal with this pain. I promise you, I am not a sick and demented person who likes to make people suffer or inflict pain on them. There is a purpose for all of this.

I ask that if you do decide to give me some feedback on how to improve things that you do it in a respectful manner and with kindness. I am an extremely friendly and nice person and I hate when others are disrespectful and just downright mean.

I'm sorry if this rant made you all think of me as a bitch.

I love you all for the encouragement and positive feedback :)
