If you haven't read it yet, it's called Keep On Trying. Synopsis: Dealing with the deaths of two friends, Two-Bit uses all his wit to try and keep his remaining friends together, and on meeting someone within detention realises the importance of family and friendship to get through these difficult times. She does a great job of exploring the serious side of Two-Bit and the fact that a lot of times when someone is the joker of the group it's a mask for pain and sadness. And her OFC, Bonnie, is a great character - she's so real and complicated. Her family is also great and I love her backstory. And her brother, Marty, is awesome and just so happens to look like the guy in my avatar ;) . Edited by Maxiekat, Jan 28 2009, 10:06 AM.

I'm sorry it took me so long to get this chapter out (I started university in Autumn and it was quite intense), but I've pretty much finished the next one so I'll hopefully be updating next week too :) Edited by Another Illusion, Jan 29 2009, 08:55 AM.
