4 short chapters as we carry on Gabbie's journey as she rediscovers the depth of the abuse she suffered, but there's a light appearing at the end of that dark tunnel.
Four short chapters posted.
Gabbie starts seeing a therapist and she starts to remember, the true depths of her abuse emerge.
Three fairly short chapters.
Gabbie goes home to collect a few things, then she goes to visit Chelcey, and in the third new chapter they go wedding dress shopping...
OK, so I've had a few messages from readers with reactions to Lucy and Gabbie dumping Steve ranging from bemused to angry.
Let me put things into context.
Teenagers are selfish souls, they don't mean to be, they just have laser-like focus on themselves.
You see this every day, they walk down the corridors just expecting everyone to get out of their way.
It's not their fault, there's so much going on in their heads that the rest of the world can largely go to hell.
They're also incredibly caring people when they encounter something that triggers them. They apply the same laser-like focus onto all the things they love.
The trouble is, that laser-like focus can be easily distracted, and when it finds a new target, the first love falls by the wayside.
The pastoral team where I work spend their days dealing with the fallout from fickle love.
Anyway, in Lucy and Gabbie's situation, once they realised their love for each other was all consuming, Steve was left behind.
Steve's a stoic, he sees that he had he best time ever with two amazing people, and that time is over, so he gets on with his life.
Soon Lucy will see she's been selfish, and will put plans in place to correct it.
I won't tell you the plan Lucy and Gabbie cook up, but it's satisfying for all concerned.
I hope this goes some way to temper your annoyance at Steve being dumped...
After Lucy and Gabbie seduce Diane, what do you think happens next?
The next day Lucy's friend Gem pops round with her girlfriend Sophie and they have a bit of a party.
There's plenty of this story to come, I'll try and get time to proof three more chapters to post next week.
