Yes, yes, hate us forever, and we kind of know a simple 'sorry' doesn't cut it. But here's what's happening:

1. Thalia is still in the hospital, and despite the progress in her health earlier, it's actually deteriorating.

2. We're at our cousins' where this is little to no internet most of the time.

3. Despite being summer, we have less time to write - we have summer classes, voluntary community service (we do it every year, so we're just keeping it up), vacations, and, of course, the spotty internet service. Not to mention our very, very ill grandfather.

4. Applications and all the crap for colleges are very, very time-consuming. And looking for jobs.

And so this story is going on hiatus - technically being replaced by a new story we have called 'YouTube Collision' for the Maximum Ride series. We had to pick just one, and that was the best idea we had that was being cooped up in the document area.

So, yeah. Sorry anyways, even though you still hate us a lot.

But, as they say, whatever. We've got real lives, too.
