Author Update:

I know you were expecting a chapter and I'm sorry for that. You all deserve an explanation for why I've been gone for so long. My mother was diagnosed with cancer and it's been pretty hard on my mental state. I had to get a 2nd job to help pay for bills, while being a full time student. That was a lot of pressure for me and I felt very defeated mentally and physically. I have a younger sister who at the time was not aware of my mothers cancer due to the fact my mom did not want to tell her as she does sports and did not want to mess up her season. So I had to try to avoid and curve topics whenever I spoke with her because my sister is very perceptive and picks up on things quickly when they don't seem right. That was stressful by itself. I failed my classes and went on academic probation due to my workload. Good news is that earlier this year my mom was treated and is now officially cancer free so that was a reliever. I was getting in a better state mentally. Unfortunately that didn't last long as I lost my grandfather this February and I went back into a depressed state. The loss of my grandfather hit me hard, but I was determined not to let it affect me so negatively. I am doing better, mentally and physically. My grades have improved and I'm not on academic probation anymore. I hope to update the story a lot during this upcoming summer. Everyone stay safe in this time of emergency.
