This is another excellent chapter. The choices teenagers make can have lifelong consequences. I wonder if her grandmother is dead. I do not see any room for improvement. Have a blessed day.

Well, it appears Nat has created another fine mess for herself. I hope you intend for Isabella to recover. I have one more chapter to read, so maybe I will find out.

Bound to happen. Isabella knew what she was really like. She should have called the sheriff. Even if Isabella recovers Natasha is going down for this, there is no one else to blame. Good writing. Karen

Thanks, Karen
The truth (or as much as Nat is capable of sharing) will begin to weave it's way into the story. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

Nice new icon picture. I heard the other day that silver strands of hair should be called hair jewelry. I'm going with that! Karen
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is so sad. I just lost an elderly friend who fell at church. She died five weeks later of a brain bleed no one suspected. I so hope this isn't Isabella's fate. I so don't want Natasha to inherit her grandmother's house, although she seems to be suffering a hint of regret.

In reallife, my "Natasha" and "Ava" are weighing heavy on my mind and heart. I, too, need to decide what happens to my houses and everything else I've accumulated over the years. Once I thought it was cut and dried, but now, things are estranged and I need to consider myself. Thanks so much for sticking with me throughout this story. Chapter 32 is posted and the final one will post on Sunday. I hope you like the ending. I struggled to choose how it would go, but in the end, I am satisfied with my choice.
Smiles, Carol
Comment from Wendy G
What a nasty piece of work Natasha is! How dare she call her grandmother such names, and even wish she would die. She is mentally deranged! I do like the way you have brought us back to the beginning with Isabella having had "a fall"! Your writing is amazing, and I wish I still had a six for your extraordinary story!

Thank you, Wendy....I appreciate the thought of a six and that you are enjoying the story. I got antsy and just posted Chapter 32 which was suppose to be tomorrow. The final chapter will be posted on Sunday. I hope people are satisfied with the ending. I struggled with choosing it, but in the end I think it is perfect. Thank you so much.

Comment from karenina
Well! I never had a smidge of doubt that you'd find a way to bring this full circle back to the beginning. Great job! Natasha is WAY beyond teen angst -- that young woman is mentally imbalanced and unable to accept any responsibility for anything she does. Sad that in today's world, the "perennial" victim gets coddled by psychologists while the family falls apart all around them.
On the lighter side, as a hopeless romantic I'm happy to see Jackson and Audrey have found their way back to their "beginning" as well!
There's a hefty hint here that Gabby has a crush on Dion and Dion is not at all put off that she's carrying a child not his...
Maybe, maybe a happy ending for those two?
I'm going to hate to see this one end, Carol!

Thanks, Karen. In a way, I hate to see it end too, because it's felt so so good to be writing again. I'm happy with what I wrote and I believe anyone who has read it has enjoyed it. I like happy endings too so I had to add a little romance with Audrey and possibly Gabby. I did have a "newbie" read the three chapters today and said I didn't but enough emotions in my characters and needed to dig deeper. Ava's f words weren't enough for him. Oh well...can't please them all.
Can't wait to see what you think of Sat and Sunday.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

Comment from royowen
Wow, she really is a self centred little Sh-t. Her grandmother could very well die, and it could lay the blame firmly at her feet, I know some teens can be self absorbed. But that's terrible. Well Isobel is a necessity in your story, there are many good ones, well done, blessings Roy

Thanks, Roy...It's unfortunate that Natasha and Ave seemed to feel like owes them much more than others. I guess when the time comes, they will have to come up with some big answers. Thanks so much for the review.
Smiles, Carol

Comment from Ric Myworld
I know that in today's world we aren't supposed to discipline children, spanking, time-outs, sitting in the corner, or even taking away privileges. They smart professionals have come up with reasons why we can't do anything but keep telling them how much we love them. I saw bull crap! And I always reserved the right to beat the cowboy piss out of one who called me names and was disrespectful to anyone. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. LOL. Thanks for sharing

I agree! I've seen so many young people be disrespectful to adults and can't stand it. I am fortunate that my youngest son has and will always have immaculate manners. He says he gets girls asking him why he opens the door, etc. He just tells them that's what he was taught. He's my blessing!
Thanks for reading and reviewing....the final countdown is here. One on Saturday and the ending on Sunday. I hope people love it or at least like it!
Smiles and hugs, Carol
Comment from LJbutterfly
Old lady, hag, stupid bitch, has me cringing in my seat as I read. No child could be this evil and say such horrible things. If any of this even borders on actual events, this poor girl is dooming herself to hell. This chapter is phenomenal and action packed. At least Jackson and Audrey have come together, adding a bright spot to the story.

Actually it was worse than that but I didn't want to put it in print. Neither her mom or herself are speaking to me and I am okay with that. Better on my nerves! I wanted a little romance and hope for the future so I'm glad you enjoyed that part.
The big finale is one on Saturday and the ending on Sunday. I hope you like it.
Smiles, Carol
