A Bitter Pill To Swallow

REALLY FLIPPIN IMPORTANT (A/N)

HEY GUYS I KNOW MOST OF YOU SKIP THIS BUT IF YOU DO CAN YOU PLEASE READ THE A/N ON THE FIRST CHAPTER, AND THE STUFF IN BOLD ON THIS CHAPTER IF YOU HAVE READ THE PREVIOUS VERSION OF THIS BOOK. PLEASE. PRETTY PLEASE. I HAVE STUFF TO EXPLAIN SINCE IM AN ASS AND I CHANGED EVERYTHING SO YOU CANT JUST SKIP BACK TO WHERE YOU WERE.

Oh my I forgot to add I SWEAR A LOT I'M SORRY I KNOW ITS A BAD HABIT BUT WHO CARES (if you do click away you innocent soul)

Oh my god.

I am truly a fuck up.

Can I get a round of applause please for the most dead and inactive publisher on wattpad?

But let me explain myself before I have the set in stone impression of a girl whom has a shit book and does not update frequently whatsoever. I, like any human being, have been making my way (downtown) through a lot of things that have been happening in my life. Drama circling my last relationship, drama circling my home life, and medical dramas as well, so it has been affecting my motivation to write this story.

Let's get personal for a second - and I barely get personal in person by the way - about some things involving the production of this book. For starters, this is not a lighthearted, fluffy little teen fiction book. It will involve many triggers and references to themes like self harm, depression, abuse, and suicide. If you are disturbed by these, you have been warned. I will put warnings in the beginning of the chapters that reference it for the people who still want to read. Now the lil' warning is out of the way, lets talk about some stuff certain people care about and others don't.

The motivation.

A lot of the stuff you see in this book will be exaggerated from personal experiences I've had, which may be interesting to some. I know a lot of people have been through hard things as well, so I hope this can be a little bit of a motivation point for you, that if you've had some crappy experiences, turn them into something creative and allow yourself to sit back and look at something you've done yourself with a smile. And remember, NEVER GIVE UP. No matter how shit things are for you, don't ever give up because life is worth living and there are so many attractive people you haven't stared at.

I mean what.

Also as a little note to the people who know me in person, a lot of these characters will have a touch of my actual personality in them, so point them out if you see it. :)

Now to the important stuff. First off, don't steal my work. I will fly over to wherever you live and personally kick your ass if you do. And sue you. I will sue you too.

Now let's talk about chapters. The first chapter has changed quite a bit, I would recommend reading it again if you haven't. If you don't feel like rereading all the ones I'll upload, you don't have to reread 2 or 3, they are pretty similar. They do, however, have small details that are hinted and important for the plot later on in the book. But I get it if you're lazy, I would be too.

Everything from chapter 4 and on is completely different. I reread it and went EW and changed almost every detail (not word, specific details in the characteristics of the houses and stuff) so it is crucial to re read it. I also changed how the two re-meet eachother too. It's entirely different.

ONE LAST THING: The title. I'm not sure whether to change it to "His Poison Ivy" or keep it the same. If you aren't all silent readers it would be awesome to hear your thoughts.

Your's sincerly,

-A

P.S: Not the psycho anonymous bitch from PLL, sorry to get your hopes up.

Ambleton Falls really was the place to be if you wanted to live in some sick kind of soap opera.

My god forsaken life had been an undercurrent for a very long time, forever presenting me with battles that I wasn't well armoured for. I know it happens to all of us, and like most of us I can say my backstory can pack a pretty powerful punch. After battling with this thing called 'life', losing most of the time, I thought I had finally found the one thing to turn it all around and force all the negative air out of my lungs. I thought my life was like Alaska, a long period of winter gloom and darkness in the two horrible seasonal parts in my life, and that now I could grow into the remaining two, where everywhere I turned could be light.

But sadly, I was mistaken.

Turns out it was all in the advertising, and I in fact did not receive what I had bargained for.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I landed in this shit storm today.

***

When Ivory McCalligan's heart smashes to pieces by her first love, she doesn't take it lightly. She felt like everything she ever knew was completely shattered, and she never wanted to feel such a way again.

Think it could get anymore cringe? Read the book and you'll be surprised 😉
