2:1

Update

So I am going to be updating 2:1 over the next couple of days soooo for any old readers who come back, I thought I'd do a little update on what has happened in case you forgot. So...

Aaron is a fighter - he's dating Sophie.

Their relationship isn't easy because 1. Sophie isn't so keen on the fact he fights. She thinks it's a dangerous sport and also her brother Andrew used to fight. (He has now passed away). 

Aaron's trainer Reck is also strict on his fighters having girlfriends and he gives Aaron a hard time over Sophie.

Sophie has a sister called Juliet and they both live alone together. Their parents moved away to New York for work a long time ago and left Sophie to look after her sister.

Sophie juggles uni, a part time job and trying to look after her 16 year old sister at the same time - which is difficult. 

Juliet finds it hard at school as people don't get it either. They find the whole situation weird and it makes her stand out a bit. She also finds it hard at home as Sophie and Aaron argue quite a lot over his fighting.

Juliet likes this boy at school called Brad - his brother is also a fighter. She has snuck out a few times to go and see him fight which obviously annoyed Sophie.

Brad spread a horrible rumor about her that she had slept with him and that kickstarted drama between the pair.

Juliet also doesn't know much about her brother Andrew as she was only little. Sophie knows a lot more than she does but Juliet has just found out that Andrew was also a fighter.

She showed up to a fight and someone tells her about it. When she approached Sophie, angry that she didn't tell her, Sophie said that their parents made her promise not to.

Sophie's friend Jess is super smart and met Aaron's friend Jack at a party one night. Jack is a huge player and has an awful reputation however, the pair did start to spend time together.

Jack was trying to persuade Jess that what she heard about him wasn't true but she still isn't convinced.

He sometimes spends time with her and then completely blanks her for weeks. This happened once and lead to them drifting apart again.

Jess is now seeing a guy named Corey (one of Jack's 'friends' kind of) and it's obvious how gutted Jack is.

Jack has a tough home life. His mum passed away a year ago and it was difficult on his whole family. Jack was at uni when it happened and he uses that as his escape. His little brother Brooklyn finds it tough and thinks his mum is just away and is coming home.

Jack's dad Dan has struggled badly too and turned to alcohol. He is incapable of looking after Brooklyn as he should and Jack's older brother is trying to fill that spot but finding it difficult as he has his own life and girlfriend.

Jess has met Brooklyn when he came to visit Jack once and he loved her! Therefore, when it was his birthday, he invited Jess to go to the zoo with them all. Jack took Jess home with him and it was then she saw what a mess his home life was. His dad was drunk in the morning on his son's birthday and was also a mess when they played a pre-recorded video by their mum for Brooklyn.

That's the most recent update on the Jess-Jack situation.

With Sophie, Juliet, Aaron -

Sophie and Juliet's parents are back as the school picked up on Juliet's grades dropping. They blame it on Sophie not being a good enough support. So Juliet is in therapy at school as well  - this is where she met a mysterious guy named Matt who is also in therapy. It turns out that Matt's brother used to be a fighter.

Aaron met Sophie's parents for the first time and it didn't go down well as he is a fighter. After what happened to Andrew (which you still don't know yet) they don't agree with it.

In one of the recent chapters, Sophie finally went to one of Aaron's fights for the first time and that solved a lot of their arguing. He was grateful that she showed up. 

Then on the next fight she went to, he proposed to her in front of them all.

That pretty much sums up where the story is now.

Basic facts that might help you remember -

1. Aaron is a fighter

2. Andrew (Sophie and Juliet's brother) was a fighter. He passed away 10 years ago but you still don't know why exactly.

3. Reck is Aaron's trainer.

4. Toni was Andrew's trainer.

5. Matt is a guy Juliet met randomly at therapy and then saw him at a fight - it turns out that his brother used to fight too.

6. Sophie and Aaron are now engaged and thinking about moving out - they are obviously trying to think of Juliet too so she doesn't end up with their parents.

7. Jess is seeing Corey at the moment.

8. Jack is going through a tough time with the situation with his dad and trying to figure out what to do about his brother.

okay, I hope that makes some sense, at least!

if it doesn't, I can answer anything - or Emma might do a fact sheet thing on the blog if need be as it's been a long time since I posted!

I have written quite a few chapters for this book now, so hopefully i'll be able to update more. however, i am back at uni and it's always intense from now until next year sooooo bear with me haha. But as this is based on uni (kind of) that might help motivate me to keep up with it lol

:) :)

ps. sorry if none of this makes sense, I wrote it really quickly and didn't read over it so I apologise if there are any mistakes or it sounds like rubbish
