TART The Sequel [TART 3]

The End

Guys... this is chapter 200 >_<

My next TART book is out though! So go check it out if you wanna continue suffering through my rambling lolol

Yes, the cover for the new book is Wattpad and I, I had to! XD

Can you guys believe that people used to describe me as a "chatterbox"? XD

My dad was telling Hannah the story about when the two of us were playing together and I was singing, and every time I got focused and stopped singing, Hannah would look over at me and wait for me to start singing again (I think I told you guys about this not too long ago XD)

Then my dad said that Hannah was such a quiet child, she would barely ever talk or sing or anything

And then there was me, who always had something to say and was constantly singing lol

Who would've thought that she would end up being more talkative than me? TwT

We finally went back to the US almost two years ago for the first time since we moved to Norway, so we met up with the people who worked at mine and Hannah's daycare (since we were all really close with them and they would even babysit us sometimes lol)

I remember them saying something about being shocked over how shy and quiet I had gotten, and that I was always talking when I was younger T_T

Why did I have to turn out like this ;w;

I'm just gonna keep telling myself that somewhere, there's a friendly, talkative, bubbly Kaitlin hidden deep inside me and she will be back one day! XD

Maybe I'm just going through a shy and socially anxious teenage phase? (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ

My mom managed to get over her social anxiety so I'm gonna keep telling myself that I will one day too! XD It all has to do with your perspective and your determination >w<

I keep wanting to travel this time of year lol

Last year, I was dying to go to Disney World, and now I'm dying to go back to Delaware! ;;

And then that feeling always lingers aaaall throughout the summer and all I wanna do is travel somewhere T_T I need to go somewhere new, I need to try something new, and I need to see and experience something new, I can't stand being home all summer long!! TwT

Why does traveling have to be so damn expensive ;w;

That moment when your heart says "travel!!" but your wallet says "get a job"-

Pray for me, guys! XD I'm still hoping that we'll actually go back to the US next summer >_<

It was nice to finally have family members who could actually spoil me! ;w; I grew up hearing stories about all the things people's grandparents would do for them and I've always been so jealous of them ;-;

My grandma was kind enough to take my mom and I out to see a horror movie, and she paid for our tickets and our popcorn! And then she bought us pizza afterwards!! ('°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)

I have the coolest grandma XD We're not actually related by blood, but that's never made her any less of a grandma to Hannah and I, or any less of a mom to my dad ╰(*'︶'*)╯♡

School is forcing me to watch something horrible ;-;

It was a two hour long movie about Norway's equivalent of 9/11

I feel like I shouldn't be comparing the two because obviously 9/11 was a really horrible day for the US, I just mean that this is the terrorist attack that shook up Norway XD

I remember I was on vacation with my family in Spain when this happened and we all just silently watched the news on tv, though I barely understood what was going on >_<

Anywho, I don't know all that much about it but this guy blew up some government building, and then disguised himself as a police officer and took a boat over to this island where all these teenagers were having some kind of political camp

There was this big massacre there, and I think nearly 70 teenagers were killed

If you're sensitive to these kinds of things, I suggest you don't read any more ;-;

Half of the documentary was about that massacre, and this girl who was there that day was explaining what was happening and it seriously sent shivers down my spine

They didn't recreate the scene or anything, it was just her standing there and explaining the whole thing from her perspective

I nearly cried when she explained this one part though (and my mom cried when I told her about it lol) >_< She was hiding with a friend and her friend sent a message to her mom that said something like "I'm at the island. There's a man here. He's shooting people"

And she got back "I love you. The police are on the way. Turn off the sound on your phone."

I DONT KNOW WHICH SIDE IS WORSE, being in that situation and not knowing if you're gonna live to see another day, or being the mom, helpless at home wondering if you're ever going to see your daughter again

This is seriously making my heart ache T_T And then the girl explained about how that man was only a few meters in front of them and she watched him kill two teenagers, and she explained their screams in such great detail I seriously started shivering a bit

And then he started walking towards her and her friend and she thought he had seen them and was coming to kill them next

Those seconds as he walked towards them must've felt like the longest seconds of their life

I seriously don't even know what I would do in a situation like that

I don't know how I would be able to move on afterwards T_T That must leave some pretty deep scars in a person (both physically and mentally) ;;

I've also heard stories of people who tried to swim back to shore, and people who played dead in the water

There's this one story I heard a few years ago that seriously fucked me up

Three friends were running away together, and the guy shot two of them and they fell on top of the third friend

She had to lay there and play dead beneath her two dead friends

I seriously cannot even imagine how heartbreaking and utterly terrifying that must be

...I can't believe this is how I'm ending my book lmao IM SORRY

I'll end with this lol: I was working on the Six Fanart challenge, and I was drawing Cloud from Final Fantasy 7 and I was seriously getting so frustrated because I CAN'T CAPTURE HIS BEAUTY TwT

If you don't know who Cloud Strife is, here you go, I will now bless your eyes

Hannah and I had a long discussion this morning about how we want to play that game just so that we can admire Cloud's beauty-

And also because I wanna see him in a dress lolol

Ok bye bye, I'll see you guys in my next book :> Thank you for sticking with me and being such amazing and supportive friends, I love you guys so much ❤️ TwT
