Garrix & Me (Martin Garrix Fanfiction)

Chapter 44

First things first - why haven't I updated in almost 2 months. (This is going to be a super long a/n.)

Well, it's actually a funny, depressing story and I'll try to tell it as quickly as I can. Basically, I was in contact with Wattpad a lot after the last chapter I updated because the story had become R rated and I know it's not "sexual" enough to be considered R rated (compared to some of the stories on here). So basically, I don't know what happened but after my last email submission of complaint, my wattpad account wouldn't let me log in on my phone, because I updated the app and it logged me out for some reason. So I tried my laptop which rarely works but after a few days of trying, my account finally logged in. Here's the shitty, bad freaking news that literally had me depressed. All the chapters I'd edited on my phone hadn't synced properly to the Wattpad server which means they weren't backed up properly. And since I don't use my laptop for Wattpad ever, I lost almost 20 chapters, not entirely but most of them were only half of the original. So you're probably wondering why I didn't back up my chapters somewhere else, like Elle, you idiot! But I did, some of those chapters were saved in my notes app but I didn't save them all. Thankfully I have the planning for all the chapters, but the rest of the story is basically messed up for now. I was so pissed with Wattpad that I just gave up for a while, I'm going to be completely honest. I know I should've thought about you guys, but I felt really bummed you know. I worked so hard and really just didn't have the strength to go back and rewrite whole chapters. Luckily, the sequal isn't on my Wattpad saved list and it's on my notes app so that's fine! Hahah, anyway. I hope you guys understand that it takes a lot, I mean a lot of time, to write chapters and edit them because I'm a perfectionist and I want every detail of this story to make sense and fit together. I'm sorry I didn't post an authors note but I really had given up and I know I shouldn't have, but I'm only human. :(

I love you guys so so so much though for all the lovely comments and messages on tumblr! Honestly, you made me realize that I can't give up on this story, it's become part of my life and I know I've probably lost a lot of readers, but I hope they love the story enough to come back to it!

QUICK RECAP OF EVENTS

(You can always just take 5 seconds and skim over the last chapter. My summarizing skills are terrible.)

Zoe and Martin are back with her parents before they leave for university again. Zoe fractured her wrist in a fight with Martin after their date went completely wrong at the mall after running into Ian and the rest of his 'gang' and was in hospital to get it bandaged.

Her parents' relationship is still unsteady.

Zoe has also realized her keys are missing.

And Martin is still the same moody, annoyance as he was before. :)

Zoe's POV

When Martin and I arrive, my parents are seated quietly at the small kitchen table. The air is silent and there's an awkward atmosphere which makes me feel uncomfortable. My mother is staring blankly out of the window at the darkening sky and my father is slowly sipping his coffee, a crease in his brow. Still, it doesn't take them long to notice me.

"Honey!" my mother shrieks. She gets off her chair in a second and wraps me in a hug. "You've been spending too much time in hospitals these days."

With a sympathetic smile, she takes a look at my hand before moving to put the kettle on.

"I'm starting to wonder why," my father says sternly.

I shoot him a glare because I know there's an underlying meaning there.

"Being accident prone isn't a sin," I snap.

"You're right. But you've only been to the hospital 3 times in your entire life. When you were 8, last week and today," he replies, eyes narrowed.
