The Cards You've Hidden, Been Dealt & are on the Table

A/N

Hey guys!! Please at least look through the questions at the bottom if you skip through this. Starting at the next bold point.

For those of you who are actually still with me thank you so much. I'm sorry that this isn't an update but forgive my language but I've had some real shit going on in my life right now and it's been very hard to deal. I'm sorry if I rant or ramble but I'm kind of venting and trying to apologize.

To keep things short and sweet here the short list of everything that's happened and I've had little time to do much else.

1. My dog who meant a lot to who've I had for seven years and also was like a reminder of my grandfather whose my role model passed out and practically died in my arms unexpectedly.

2. My grandmother's health has seriously been deteriorating and where not sure how much longer she has.

3. My mom has serious health problems mostly involving her heart to the point where she needs a heart transplant but can't get one for several reasons and she already has an ICD a pacemaker and defibrillator combo. (So I know a bit about what Lilliana will go through heart wise first hand besides what I've already told you.

4. I've been having my own health problems that we are trying to figure out what they are as people cannot diagnose me.

5. My home has recently had a serious of events that were crazy things in need of repair putting a financial and stressful strain on us. For example, leaks, bad plumbing, bad toilets and many other problems that now they have to destroy our bathroom to fix it and apparently things will probably just get worse.

6. Therefore we are having a strong financial burden and are also contemplating moving which we might not having the money for.

7. I have a bunch of summer work I have to do and school starts in like two weeks

8. Plus I've had a bunch of other crazy stuff happening.

I'm sorry haven't been able to update but I promise that I'm working on it and trying to get one out without the next two to three weeks. I'm even working on having something where you guys can possibly get back to back updates.

On other notes some business to attend regarding the story:

1. Anybody want aesthetics if I can get 15 requests for them besides the people who have already asked I'll look into it.

-please feel free to send me anything you make or want to make I'd gladly feature them. My email is booksandmusicgirl27@gmail.com

2. Names. Anybody got any names for characters they want to put in. Give me names for girls you want to like and not like same with boys and unisex, trans, and everything else just say what of the above they are do-wanna like or hate them. (Sorry if any of that came out wrong I'm running on stress and lack of sleep and I do not mean to offend anyone. I'm full supportive of people being and loving whoever they want to be and love.)

3. I've had a couple people say that they are confused as to POVs of the chapters it is in the title of the chapter. Would you like me to put it in additionally? I don't think it needs to be done but if you all are confused I'll add it.

4. Anyone like to see a certain POV? Also favorite character.

5. Any scenes anybody would like?

6. Any music recommendations for the next chapters?

7. Any questions?

A round of applause please to @mishko_shareef who created this amazing cover:

I've been asked to read the following books one by Imagining_My_Life  that I highly recommend you support her and check out her new book that she just started and the other by @ChristyZoedeOrcy I'm sorry it won't let me add the story link.

Feel free to advertise your stories here but I'll be making a space to do so in another chapter as well.

I feel like I'm forgetting something but I don't know what I let you know if I think of anything.

I'm trying my best guys and I'm sorry you've been left to dry it just with all the chaos I've lost some motivation and I haven't had the time but recently I've gained some. Just know that whenever I see a comment or receive something from one of you it makes me so happy and brings a smile to my face and gives me motivation to write so thank you to all of those who read my story and who are bearing with me and an even greater one to those who comment and take an extra step to vote, make a comment, add it to your reading list or make something I truly and greatly appreciate it.

Thank you guys and even though I might be busy please feel free to message me or email me at booksandmusicgirl27@gmail.com I would be more than happy to help you or talk to you or be your friend or whatever it may be. I'm looking for more friends too. Thanks once again and hopefully we'll meet again soon in the next chapter.
