Wow. For the first time since 2016, I logged into Wattpad and reviewed my notifications, making my way to this book. Needless to say, it's been a long time coming and I owe you guys some context and an explanation.
I began writing this book back in 2011/2012 when I was 10 or 11 years old on Microsoft Word. I then moved it to Wattpad in 2013 and wrote on and off through 2015, when I was 14 years old.
It is now 2020 and things are much different. When I last wrote an actual chapter for this book, I was a high school freshman. After freshman year, I got really busy studying and preparing to go to college. I am now 19 and a rising sophomore in college studying in hopes of going to medical school. The workload is constant, even in the summer and during breaks. I no longer have the time I used to and don't know if I'll ever return to writing this book.
I think about this book and the plotline/characters from time to time. I still lowkey want to come back and finish it, but it's not practical so I'm no longer going to promise anything. If I do ever come back, I would have to rewrite it from the beginning anyway. There is even a possibility I'll unpublish it, but we'll see.
To my readers who are still engaging and commenting today, thank you. I never expected this book to ever be read, much less years later. I wrote this book during a time when I loved to write and weave pieces of myself into my stories. Nat and the rest of the characters were all segments representing different parts of my life, and I falsely promised to continue even when my life could no longer accommodate the time commitment.
I hate to say it but I'm in a different place now and I'm sorry that you've read this far to be stuck with no real ending. I hope you can accept my apology and my uncertainty of where this will go in the future, if anywhere.
In the meantime, I encourage you to imagine your own ending and give the characters and plot you've invested so much time into closure of your own. I would have liked to do the same, if I was in your position :)
Thank you guys again, and I wish you all well.
