DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO EDIT CHAPTERS WITHOUT CHANGING THE UPLOAD DATE THIS IS PISSING ME OFF

SEPTEMBER 3RD

I start University tomorrow and I couldn't be shitting myself more.

I uploaded the video last night and went right to bed, turning my phone on airplane mode. I've been up for about 3 hours and I haven't dared to pick up my phone. I finally decide to get out of my bed and go downstairs to grab anything, even though I don't feel a inch of hunger.

I shuffle down the stairs, making my way towards kitchen. As soon as I enter I see Talia and Simon at the table, eating what I can assume is their lunch. I make eye contact with Talia, who's gaze softens in worry. She goes to say something but I stop her.

"If you are going to say something about what's happening online, my phone has been off all morning and I dont want to know." I groggle, plopping myself down next to Simon. "Fair" Simon shrugs. I start to pick on some bacon bits that are on the table.

"Are you going to uni tomorrow?" Simon asks, carefully. "I mean I kind of have to its the first day" I shrug, picking at my nails. "Yeah but maybe, you know" unfortunately I do know. I have been thinking about it ever since the hospital. Half of me thinks I should just face the storm and go to uni, like everything is fine. Another part of me wants to curl up in bed and rot there until the day I die. I just hum in response, not feeling like answering the debate that's been going through my head the past two weeks.

Suddenly a notification goes off on Simon and Talia's phone, which I assume is the group chat. Simon looks at the notification without unlocking his phone. "Oh my fucking god." he mutters, causing Talia to quickly check her phone too, her face having the same reaction as Simon. "What?" I question, furrowing my eyebrows at the two.

"They let Harry out" My heart drops to my ass. "Simon if your fucking with me that's such a shitty move" I spit out, the news being to good to be true. As soon as I know, Talia's phone was in my hands. My eyes quickly land on the most recent text sent in 'The Troops'.

freezy: just picked up harry from the station, his phone's dead but wanted everyone to know hes ok

Tears form in my eyes, tears of happiness. "Oh my god" I sob out, hugging Simon and soaking his arm with my tears. "He's out, He's free" I muffle in to Simon, still getting used to the reality. The words sound foreign in my mouth, like im lying, like this isn't really happening.

I don't know how long we were like that, but it was comforting. After what I think is 20 minutes but could as well have been an hour Talia speaks up. "They are having a welcome home party for him tonight, they want to try to lighten the mood for him." Talia tells us. "It's gonna be at 6 at JJ's" I check the time and it is 3. "Im gonna shower I say, my face puffy from my sobs. Simon and Talia nod and I rush upstairs. This is the most energy ive had since before Harry got arrested. I grab my towel and hop in the shower.

I blast my playlist and sing along, prepping my voice for tomorrow. I take my sweet time washing my body, conditioning my hair, shaving, and using my good special occasion shower stuff. Tonight was special.

After my shower I do my skincare and apply a face mask. I haven't felt the  energy to take care of myself for weeks so I took advantage of this feeling of happiness and excitement. I set a timer for my face mask and go to my bedroom, bringing my speaker with me.
