(3862 words)
Hey wonderful people!
OK--so I know you can pretty much kill me right now for not updating in so long. But this chapter was the first I've had to write in this book for MONTHS. Everything before this had been prewritten.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This chapter is going to start hinting some events for the sequel to this--which is going to be now officially entitled "The (X) - Minus Facor".
Also a special thanks to my friend Brie (pollypocket911) who helped me write the scenes with Kevin. I put some skin on it and I think it turned out fantastic!

14. Fury Can Never Be Placed to the Account of Courage by Year3000 [Reviews - 14] 



(1378 words)
OK--so I finally got this written up for you guys. I know it's probably short. It's a bit crummy to me, but maybe that's because I've read over it like 50 million times. It got a bit deep at times, I kinda get carried away when it comes to moral reason. Hopefully it doesn't get too much for ya!
And thanks to ALL the wonderful reviews! You guys kick ass! I think I nearly hit 20 on the last chapter.
Again, if you guess didn't get the memo--I do try to reply to your reviews. You may want to look over them because it may give you a few hints on the next chapter.
Enjoy!

So this was a VERY tough chapter for me to write. Events are now starting to lead up to the sequel here so hope this gets you excited. Things are starting to get a bit weird, but there's an explination for everything so hold on there little soldiers!
I also want to say a big thank you to all the people who gave me lovely comments on these last few chapters. All my fans mean so much to me!
A special thank you to EllieJBfan. Your review meant a lot to me hun! Always good to know my villians are believable! Thanks!

16. Ecstacy by Year3000 [Reviews - 16] 



(3887 words)
So I am SO SO SO SO sorry I haven't updated in like two weeks! I spoiled you guys there for a little while with those speedy updates:) No actually I was on vacation for a week and when I came back I just for some reason lost all my inspiration to write. Like I wanted to write and I had all the ideas and everything, but for some reason everytime I sat down to type something--nothing came. So, when I'm in trouble--who else do I go to than my good friend Brie! God! I'm serious guys, without her I'm not sure this chapter would've come out this soon. It would've taken forever! But what happened was she'd write a scene, then I'd add onto it, then she'd write onto that and I'd write onto that...this freakin ass of a chapter came to 9 freakin pages in the end! And I still didn't get to everything I wanted to put into it. But hopefully you enjoy anyway:) So give a big hand to pollypocket911 for all her efferts!

17. X by Year3000 [Reviews - 22] 



(3601 words)
Wow guys! Love all the reviews! So I worked like hell on this so I could makeup for my extremely long wait on updating the last chapter. I'm sorry troops! Hopefully this'll make up for it. We're nearing the climax here! Things are staring to get tense!
Also--ElieJBfan brought up some awesome questions in the comments about this. You guys might want to check it out. It might help if some of you are a bit confused about things. Don't read if you don't like spoilers though!
Another thing--I went ahead and put up a teaser of X Minus Factor (the sequel to this). Ashlee did an amazing job on the siggy for it. SO check it out! You can find it in my list of stories. Tell me what you think!

I cannot say how sorry I am for keeping you guys on edge for so long! I went on vacation again (but this time with my best friend!) with Brie. It was SO fun! We went to the beach, to Busch Gardens. Whatnot...whatever.

19. Factor by Year3000 [Reviews - 19] 



(1320 words)
Hey all! Well lets see...I'm about half way to 300 reviews...you guys are AWWWESOME! Also I'm trying to get this story done because I'm starting school again in a few weeks...and once that starts then I pretty much have NO life other than cosmotology and work. I'm excited but I'm gonna have to give writing a rest a bit. Not saying I can't whip out a few chapters here and there, just not as often.
Love you guys! This has still got a few more chappys so hang in there!

21. White Walls by Year3000 [Reviews - 27] 



(2433 words)
Hey all! Guess what? I got my harddrive back!! Dell was able to recover ALL the info on it! I was so effin psyched OUT OF MY MIND!!! GAHH!!! You have no idea.
ANYWAYS--this chapter would not have been possible, or at least as EPIC if it weren't for the equally epic Brianna, who gave me all the medical info since all that is Greek to me. Also things will start making more sense in this chapter regarding the drug. Sorry if it's a lot of info but just read and It'll all make sense!
This chapter is written to the Gone Baby Gone soundtrack. Check it out! It makes it so much more emotional. If this book were ever made into a movie it would have this type of music for the soundtrack.

OK, so all ya'll can pretty much kill me for not updating in FOREVER. I'm a meany face, I know. :) But read the chapter---and maybe I hope I'll have you alls good graces by the end of it!
Also ONE CHAPTER left of this story and it's OVER. I got together with pollypocket911 and we brainstormed over the second book and pretty much got the whole thing written out in our heads. Thanks to Polly for her ideas! :D
Love ya'll. Thanks for keeping up with this. I think I'm going to cry when I finish this freaking book because it's only the second story I've EVER finished...EVER. It's like a HUGE accomplishment for me *skips around*.
Oh and I wrote this listening to this soundtrack. It has a lot more emotion when you listen to it and read at the same time:)
