A/N: Here is part 3 (Chapter 10) of Rising Storms! I hope you enjoy it. I was feeling a little discouraged with the responses towards this story, until a very special person gave me some confidence that my story is making a difference for others. I'm sorry I haven't updated this story in a little while (It's already been over a year since I started this story), I've been writing a ton of stories and publishing. Lol. It's been a crazy year.
