Loyalty

"As Sodapop's friends talked, he tried listening in on the conversation between the nurse and Marcia. 'Concussion... lucky to be alive... amnesia...' was all he was able to get out of the conversation between the two." -Loyalty, Introduction Chapter

32. PLEASE READ THIS AUTHORS NOTE

NOT A REAL UPDATE, BUT PLEASE READ THIS AUTHOR'S NOTE

This week I would've updated the next chapter of Loyalty, along with my other five stories. I cannot fulfill this update for this week, like I usually would. Due to certain events going on in my life, that have been since right after I finished updating two weeks ago, so I've been kinda all over the place. This has caused a huge case of writers block for me, and I wasn't able to finish all the newest chapters for each of my stories. With this, I apologize for not being able to upload this week like my usual updating schedule/pattern. I will continue this back up in another two weeks, as if I had updated this week. That way, I will have an entire month this time to write the newest chapters in each of my stories, and a total of two chapters will already be done for each story- if it all goes according to plan- and then even if I get massive writers block again, I'll already have a chapter done so that I can update.

Again, I apologize for the next two weeks of waiting for the next chapter. After these two weeks, when I update, I will continue updating every other week. Thank you, and peace from all the hippies of the world.

As a thank you for your patience, here's at least a preview of what I do have of the next chapter:

Chapter 31

"You think I enjoyed doin' all I did?" Soda asked in an irritated tone, "Cause I sure as hell didn't."

"Then why did you do it?" Cherry snapped, "Cause honestly, it was a real shitty thing to do."

"I know, alright? I know! When I first did it, I was more than hesitant, but yeah, I was an asshole and went along with it. But the entire time, I felt guilty 'bout it the whole time. Cause a' that, I couldn't figure out how and when I was gonna tell you."

"Guilty? You felt guilty? How do you think I felt this past summer- relying on what everyone told me, and of the little bits and pieces I'd remember on my own? Let me tell you, Sodapop Curtis, it doesn't feel good. To not know who you are or anything 'bout your life, all cause of one thing, is one of the scariest things to feel in your entire life. And now, I wonder how much of what you ever said to me was the real me, or the me I believed was the real me?"
