Yall I am so proud of my novel- another peek into the new chapter coming soon! I’m so excited but I’m a strange way this is a sickening book and it’s been rough to write. So thank you all for the support and I couldn’t keep going without knowing ppl are out there actually reading and keeping up with it! We also just hit 1.3k what a milestone!!!!! Thanks again!
Ch 24 is halfway finished! YAY! Sneak peek: I was so distracted that I ran straight into someone and landed hard on my ass in the middle of the hallway. I groaned, tears already burning in my eyes as I looked up.
Jacob stood there, eyes wide with surprise. "Shit, Maya—are you okay? Can I help you up?" I shook my head slowly, unable to hold back the tears anymore. They spilled over hot and fast. He hesitated, clearly remembering everything that had happened between us, but when he saw the tears, his expression softened with guilt and worry. He lowered himself to my level, careful not to touch me.
"I know I'm probably the last person you want help or advice from right now," he said quietly, voice heavy with regret, "but... you're stronger than this. And I'm sorry. For all of it." My heart ached at the sound of my best friend again. I missed him so much it hurt; my lips curved into a small, comforting smile. He offered his hand again, smiling gently this time. "Come on. I have no idea why you're up this early, but at least you're not being forced to go on one of those brutal runs with me by Danny, am I right?"
A tiny, broken laugh escaped me despite everything. I took his hand and let him help me to my feet. My legs felt shaky, my chest tight like someone was squeezing my ribs. "Thank you, Jacob," I whispered, voice cracking.
He didn't let go of my hand right away. His thumb brushed lightly over my knuckles. I wanted a hug so badly my arms ached with it, but the memory of that night made fear spike through the longing. Jacob swallowed, eyes flicking away for a second like he was arguing with himself. "Maya..." he started, voice low and careful. "I know I'm the last person who deserves to ask you this right now, but... do you—" He cut himself off, jaw tightening. Then he forced the words out anyway. "Do you... need a hug? It's okay if the answer's no. I won't be mad or upset. I just... I can see you're hurting. And I hate that I'm part of the reason why."
Life has been chaotic to say the least, but I finally got a few free days to work on some of the newest chapter scenes, and I'm happy to say it's going well! Sneak peek coming soon, I promise!
Finally, I think I overcame my writer's block for the opening scene I'm working on! Ya'll want a sneak peek soon? It's coming your way!
The fact that I haven't even reached mid-book yet and we are already at 1.1k readers and a confirmed 20 engaged readers makes me so happy to know everyone is enjoying this book! Please comment below if you are an engaged reader and what you're loving so far!
Alright, readers, the new chapter is uploaded! I'm so sorry it took so long. I was dealing with some grief and needed time and space to process. It feels good to have a fresh chapter for you to delve into and I can't wait for what's to come!
Well, life took a sharp, harsh turn, and I've been dealing with some difficult feelings. This has taken way longer than it should have because I've needed time to process and evaluate. I've come to realize I'm not always welcome because I'm different and people are mean. I promise the new chapter is coming; I just needed a break, so I took a few days off.
Alright, I know it's Saturday, and ya'll still don't have the chapter I promised, but your author is over here busting booty to get it done! Life has been hectic!
Ya’ll I finally went back and found songs for chapter 2- YAY! I also detailed it some more it’s more intense now! Enjoy!
7 songs for the soundtrack to the new chapter so far- 7- and that’s not even half the chapter! Lmao ♀️ I’m working hard I promise- I want it to be perfect!
