Uhhhh hi guys. This is an author's note, not a chapter. I'm going to start off by saying that yes, this is how I'm going to type my author's notes and such from now on, so they're easier to read. Just a little update on my life: I'm sixteen now. Woo. No car. Dammit. It's been pretty damn crazy for the past... well, however many months it's been since I've updated. I started high school, and that was HUGE setback for this, and I'm truly sorry for that. Just when I was getting into the swing of things, though, everything got absolutely insane. I realized that I'd fallen in love with a really great friend of mine (for those of you who are wondering, he's a guy) in October, and then we started to have a thing. We never dated, but he has managed to break my heart a total of seventeen times (yes, I've counted). Last time was in March, if I'm remembering correctly. He has a girlfriend who he's absolutely convinced that he's in love with (yes, a fifteen-year-old guy thinks he's in love. I know, it's rediculous. They're waaaaayy too hormonal and immature to fall in love at this age. It just doesn't work. It's like a girl falling in love when she's nine or something (maturity-wise, that is). Yeah. Rediculous). Anyway, enough with my excuses. I'm going to say that it's summer now, and so I'm going to try and update more often. I'm so so so so SO sorry for the long-ass delay. I hope that I can make up for it with the upcoming chapters, and I hope that you guys will stick with me. I'm having a pretty hard time right now (boy problems, as I've said before), and I don't know how things are going to turn out, and how it will affect this story. Again, sorry, and thank you for the support.
