A lot of spent emotion in the chapter Lea, both back then and in the writing I'm sure. It is good that you had your two friends that stuck with you. Like you say, a beautiful gift. Well done, cheers

    I'm grateful thank you Valda! Your interest touches me. It's so nice to have yourself and people like you reading along with me. I spent my life people not believing me. Now it is different, it's validation. A great thing and people like yourself and make that happen. Thank you so much!

Your writing makes my heart hurt sometimes! But it is always honest, emotional and addictive. Once I begin a story, there is no stopping until I read every word. I can't imagine your fear or your courage in facing it. Well done. annn

It's good your friends took you to get food, but their news about your parents and sister was devastating. Now that your parents have no children to hate, what are they doing? How will you ever find your sister? The saga continues.

    At the time I didn't know what they were doing. And I didn't know about my sister but thankfully it wasn't too long before I found out some decisions were made for me across the nation is never a good thing one in a situation that I was in. I thank you so much for your review. I'm just hanging in there with me. I'll put up 2 new chapters today. I hope to win 2 of them and hope your day is amazing.

How very sad this situation is and I hope your sister is okay. To say you don't live at home any more when there has been no search for you of care as to how you are surviving, is rather evil. When no one else cares for you, at least you are caring for yourself and this is what you have to do to survive, another great chapter Lea, love Dolly x

Hello Lea,
this turn of events is distressing for sure. I understand your reluctance to reach out to the authorities, but there is only so much a young person can do on their own. With the coming of fall a consideration, and the difficulty that it can bring as far as weather, I'm sure the pressure was mounting on you. I can only imagine the troubled thoughts that you endured when your sister came to mind. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
Blessings,
Tom

This one is anxiety-riddled.

One thing I'm noticing is that I feel irritated by the monikers "Mad Friend" and "Sad Friend." For me, that's interfering with my concentrating on the scene and the dialogue. Even if you just call them "M" and "S" I think it would flow better.

I'm interested to see what happens next. My curiosity is definitely piqued.

    Good morning, how are you? I guess it's still morning where you're at? Ohio so exhausted and fell righto sleep. I hope my friend moved a whole bunch of tools and stuff on his truck into my car. And of course, we had to go unload it. And when I got back last night. What was it after 7 anyway. I fell right asleep! I've gone ahead and Is implemented your suggestion there are now m and s. And definitely it does blow better thank you for that cool suggestion. That's always i'm happy for your advice and for your review I got two chapters to pump out today, so here we go, thank you so much!

Goodness, I could taste that filet o'fish going down and see the look of amazement on the faces of your friends. The mystery of your missing sister is unresolved and this concern takes precedence over everything else. Your word 'distractedly' says it all. Be careful over punctuation here, Leah. It's mostly very good but there are a few omissions: That bites(,) man; I looked up at my two friends(,) so grateful...; That's kind of creepy(,) someone...; but I brought it here instead (no need for the comma after but: We gotta take off(,) dude...; I tried anyway(.) I tried...; Some questions... ('had to' and 'must' are the same although I understand your reinforcement but could it finally be 'would be'? Thanks for sharing another fine chapter here. Debbie

Okay, now I'm almost as much concerned about you sister as you were. Has the little sister started living full time with her father. I remember she was living with him some of the time. I'll be looking forward to your next post.

    Hello Beth, how are you? Thank you so much for reading again. I've be sending a couple more chapters today. My sister remained with her father from the time he took her when she was 5 until she grew up to be an adult. She did, however, come every odd weekend to visit. He was equally cruel. Thank you again for reading offering your kind comments and your concern. Yes, I will address all of those. I hope you're having the best day. Thank you again!

You are certainly building the suspense about what will eventually happen to you, Lea. You can't even enjoy your little victory over the walking stick lady for very long before worries about your sister plague you. And your friends keep reminding you that summer won't last forever.

What could have happened to your sister? Could she have run away too and found her own hiding place? I'm sure this was really eating at you.

At least you have your two friends whose loyalty to you is admirable. I'm sure they worried about you and wished they could help you in other ways besides bringing you food.

Your presence of mind and self-awareness were also quite admirable. You realized that your small victory over the walking stick lady shouldn't give you an over-inflated image of yourself and that you were still very vulnerable. Amazing in one so young.

Gosh, I wish I could read this whole story in one sitting. It really is riveting.

    As usual as you give the best reviews. I always so insightful and I don't have good things to say. Almost like you live through it yourself. I can appreciate that, and clarity of mind is refreshing. Thank you for this awesome review. All of the questions you have are coming up soon. And we'll carry on from there. I don't wanna give away too much. LOL have a great night.

    You're making this very real, which puts the reader right there with you, experiencing the emotions that you are experiencing. That's what makes this so riveting. I can't wait to read your next chapters each day; it's such a fascinating and well-told story.
