I know it has been a while. Here’s a recap of my adventures from my internal narrator. You’ll have to excuse her, she can be a bit cranky. And unreliable…

Where are we in Jay’s world? Well, she got her first boyfriend, but that wasn’t before killing her life-long best friend, Hayley. She broke it off with first-boyfie-Ben because he was a douche-canoe. Jay wasn’t on board with his violent tendencies, no matter how hot he was.

Since then, she has made tentative friends with her former arch-nemesis, Rachael, met a new guy, who I don’t believe she has divulged the name of, while becoming closer friends with Jack.

She also came across a group of runaway kids whilst setting Ben and Rachael up. Sounds a bit dodgy, doesn’t it? Yeah, Jay didn’t think that one through and now Rachael hates her. Ben never really stopped since Jay dumped his ass, and now Jack has this unrequited crush. Awkward.

Jay’s Dad and her big brother Dep are harassing her about her friends and sudden need for alone time in the woods, and to be honest, it is kinda suspicious.

Just in case you are really new to this tale, it should probably be mentioned that Jay is a child of the apocalypse. Yeah. I am talking Zombies. It can be pretty hectic, as the young folk say, but generally it is teen fare – will Jay’s friends ever speak to her again, will Jay ever get laid? She reckons ‘no’ re: sexy-time, due to her big bad secret, which if her dad found out about, he’d kill her. Like, literally.

But at the moment, what interests me is what is in those woods? Whatever is going on there, it has distracted Jay from wanting to ask her Dad and Dep how her Mom died, all those years ago.

Forgotten about that, hadn’t you?
