Update
Hi so, it has definitely been longer than 2 weeks lol.
Basically, I went to med school, and (shockingly) it was a lot harder than I thought it'd be! I sacrificed a lot of hobbies, including watching and writing for ee to try and keep up with the workload, but I just got unhappy which made things worse. Pretty counterintuitive basically lmao.
I'm trying to get back into things that made me happy before my next semester starts because I know I'll perform better academically and mentally, so I'm going to be continuing this fic (and finishing it!!) this new year.
So yeah, I'm so sorry I abandoned this for so long, but I wasn't lying in my last author's notes the next chapter is basically written so I WILL be updating before the middle of January.
I hate when author's upload chapters that are basically just huge author's notes but I wanted to do something to hold myself accountable, as it'd be pretty shit if I didn't upload after this😅
Thank you everyone who ever clicked on this fic and to anyone that still cares about it, and especially thank you and sorry to Joe on tumblr @/eastendies who this whole thing is a gift for :")
