I really hate posting non-content content like this, but I feel like it is necessary. I have been gone for a while. I posted updates on my Tumblr, but realized that a vast majority of people following this story are not following my tumblr. So I should maybe post something here. Since I have last posted a series of things have happened regarding my family and school, none of which going how I wished them to. Due to those circumstances, I need to focus fully on school and graduating. Which means I will not be able to update this fic until sometime in August. I have contemplated trying to write here and there when I can because this is really one of the few highlights I have currently, but that does not seem plausible given how easily I get lost in writing. Then before I know it I have spent 4-5 hours writing when I only meant to spend an hour. I will finish 'The Friend'. It is the longest story I have ever written and finishing it has turned into a personal goal. Especially when there are only two chapters left. I had already started plotting out scenes that would take place in the summer and a companion piece that would be 'The Friend' from Chloe's perspective. I am extremely invested in this fic. So do not worry about it never being completed because it will be. In the meantime, feel free to message me if you have any questions or such. I will still be checking my PMs occasionally. I hope you all understand and I look forward to August!
