My sincerest apologies—I have left you hanging without an update. I'm so, so sorry! I'm currently dealing with an arduous housing issue. My concerns have been acknowledged; however, they have yet to be rectified. I promise—once I get a good night's sleep (four hours, just four hours, God), I'll crank out the next chapter.
If you'd like to listen to the featured music of this chapter, use your choice of music apps and search for "Dammit" by blink-182. It is Track 3 from their album, Dude Ranch, which featured Scott Raynor as the drummer, just before Travis came in and showed the world who the f*ck Travis Barker was. I hope you enjoy the throwback hit! It's one of my favorites.
