First off, I am so sorry for the time lapse. I have been awful, and I hope you can forgive me.

The truth is, my best friend Kayleigh (who you will recognize as an OC in the fic) has been unhappy since December. She took her life about a month ago, and I'm still…recovering.

I loved her so much, and it kills me that I will never get to tell her that again.

Kayleigh was such an integral part of this fic/ship – I have a hundred memories of discussing this story with her, flailing over Quinn moments, the moment we made each character's in our stories, etc. The truth is, I'm not strong enough to come back to this story. My heart breaks every time I think about her, and trying to do this now is impossible.

I hope one day I have the strength to finish it, and you all will still be interested in reading this story at that point.

In the meantime, all I can do is apologize. I'm sure some of you must be upset with my lack of updates, and you have every right to be, but I hope you can understand why I just can't yet. I promise I will finish the fic one day for her, when I am brave enough to.

Kayleigh was one of the greatest people in the world. We've kept running her blog, so if you'd like to leave her a message, you can do so at:

RIP Kayleigh Preston. I will always love you.
