No Forgotten Hope Update

Hello everyone :)

This is just a notice that there will be no Forgotten Hope update this weekend. I know, it's sad :(. This is the first time Forgotten Hope has started that we are missing a week of posting. But I assure you it is totally for good reason. We are improving the next chapter for your benefit! lol.

Also, instead of getting a chapter, you are getting two or three outtakes this weekend. Worth it? I hope so.

Here is your link to the first outtake this weekend: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5603859/5/
"Jasper Meets Nick" cute look into the past. kinda sad too, I suppose.

Go check it out! See you guys around!

Chloe Hacks the Blog!

I’m currently waiting for Nick to pick me up, but he just called and said he’d be a little late. Homework’s finished for the night, so… I figured I’d try one of these surveys to pass the time. I guess you’ll get to know me a little better…? Here we go:

What's your name: Chloe Elizabeth Campfield
Nicknames: Not so much. Just Chloe.
Relationship Status: With Nick & happy :o)
Zodiac sign: Cancer
Height: Somewhere around 5'4.
Piercings: One in each ear.
Tattoos: None.
Righty or lefty: Righty.

HAVE YOU EVER :

Kissed a stranger: No
Drank hard liquor: Eh. Yes. But not by choice.
Worn glasses/contacts: Yep. Both--contacts for out/dressing up, glasses for in/relaxing.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN:
Yourself: More and more every day, thanks to Nick.
Miracles: Yes
Love at first sight: I definitely believe in an attraction to someone at first sight. I’m still trying to figure out what made me confident enough to give Nick my number after we bumped into each other. There was something there….
Heaven: Yes
Kiss on the first date?: The way Nick did it was perfect.

What color is your toothbrush? Purple and white.

Name one person who made you smile today: The same person who makes me smile everyday :o)

What were you doing at 8:45 this morning? Working, since we're still on Christmas break. I was there at 8 to open :o)... last minute holiday shopping gives me good hours.

What were you doing 45 minutes ago? Getting ahead on some school stuff for next semester so it won't be as overwhelming when it starts... and then getting ready to go out tonight!

What is your favorite candy? I’m not a big fan of candy, but every once in a while I like one of those caramel and chocolate candy bars… the ones that kind of melt in your mouth? They’re pretty good!

Have you ever been awake for more then 2 nights straight? Uh huh… after being sick for a few days. I still had to work, so that was just taking all of my energy out of me. I fell behind on my homework schedule, so I stayed up, with coffee, for a little over two nights… which probably wasn’t the best idea because I ended up getting sick again without the extra rest. Luckily the second time was over the weekend, so I was able to get well while still staying on top of my homework. I won’t do that again….

Who's the last person that told you they loved you? Nicky :o)

When's the last time you had a headache? Mmm… not for a while. I’ve sort of become immune to headaches… maybe when Bryce came in for a surprise visit and I had to hide him from Nick… I was sort of a mess. That was probably the last time I had a serious headache.

Do you like reading? Yes! I LOVE reading! Nick doesn’t get it… haha.

Do you ever think about stuff and start crying? I try not to. I think about a LOT of stuff, but I’ve been really happy lately, despite everything that’s happened with my family… *shrugs* It’s not worth crying over things that I won’t ever be able to change. I’m just going to be happy with what I have now, because… I think I’m probably the most happy I’ve been in… a long, long time.

Do you ever think "what if" about anything? I don’t want to, but I do. The main one is probably “What if Bryce decides to come back for me?” I know Nick wouldn’t let it happen, but it’s still a ‘what if’… :-\

Are you happy with the way things are going? YES! Very much so.

Who's bed did you sleep in last night? I was over with Nick, so his.

Last person on your bed beside you? …Nick :o)

Where did you go in a car last? Um… I walk or take the subway for the most part, so… I guess to the mall with Alice? And Gregory. No comment on that second part.

Have any memories that you'd like to forget? Sure, but… I guess everything that has happened has made me who I am today, so… *shrugs* I don’t know…

What is the last thing you said out loud? Probably something along the lines of “No problem, sweetheart. Take your time. No, don’t kill Jasper—I really don’t mind waiting. Kay, love you too. See you soon.”

Ever go camping? No, but I would. I think there are a lot of places we could go outside of the city… might be fun someday. Maybe I’ll ask Nick if he thinks Jasper and Alice would want to go with us sometime after it gets warmer.

What did your last text message say? Let me check… oh, a new one. From Nick. ‘Getting out of the shower now. Promise I’ll be there soon.’

What are you doing tomorrow? Working during the day, and then I’m not sure what’s going on at night yet. I’ll probably end up spending time with Nick while he catches up on his school stuff. Maybe watch a movie with him…cuddle… ;o)

What were you doing at 12 AM last night? Well, usuallyyyy I’m sleeping by 12 AM, but SOMEONE who happened to be sharing the bed decided that a make out session was in order. So I was… pretty much wrapped in Nick’s arms and loving it.

Look to your left: what do you see? End table with a lamp on it, my purse, and my keys.

How many states have you lived in? Two—California and now New York.

How did you get your worst scar? The one on my knee from falling up the elevator when I was little is probably the worst. It’s not too bad though.

Last beverage: Water.
Last phone call: Nick
Last text message: Nick
Last song you listened to: “Two Step” by Dave Matthews Band.
Last time you cried: Wow, umm… probably not since we were in California for Thanksgiving. That’s pretty good….

HAVE YOU EVER:

Dated someone twice: No… I’ve only really dated two people.

Kissed someone & regretted it?: Yeah, when Bryce was here but I wanted to be with Nick…. I couldn’t… say no, though. I hope you can understand that. I really do. I never wanted to hurt Nick….

Lost someone special?: I don’t really believe that people are ever ‘lost’ to us….

Been depressed?: I don’t really know what I was while in California. I guess it might have been called ‘depressed’ but… I didn’t know it…? I’m still working on figuring that stuff out, to be honest.

Been drunk and threw up?: Luckily, no. I hate throwing up.

IN THE PAST YEAR HAVE YOU:

Made new friends: Yes

Fallen out of love: I don’t think I was ever in love with Bryce. I thought I was in the beginning of our relationship, but… that was NOT love. So no, I haven’t fallen out of love. I think I’m falling into it now though….

Met someone who changed you: Absolutely. 100%. Yes.

Found out who your true friends were: Yep. I don’t need a lot of friends, but the few that I do have have been… just… more than I could ever hope for.

What did you do for your last birthday: For my 19th birthday... I met with my parents at Harvard with Bryce and then he took me out to celebrate it with him. I shouldn't have. And my 20th will be better.

Last time you saw your father: Thanksgiving. Not unhappy about it. It’s better this way.

What is one thing you wish you could change about your life: I wish I wasn’t so… just… ugh. I don’t know how to say it. Nervous, maybe? Like… things make me flinch way too easily. I don’t want to be like that… I just want to be more… relaxed, I think. I think I’ve been getting better about that lately, though. Maybe I’ll grow out of it entirely. I’m hopeful. Other than that… like I said before, I’ve learned from everything that has happened in my life and I think making it through tough things only makes a person stronger, so… honestly, I wouldn’t change anything, but I’ll welcome change in the future. Things can only get better from now on. They’ve already started to :o)

Did your last kiss take place on a bed? Last make out session was on a bed, haha, yes. Last kiss was… me standing over the bed and Nick sort of kissing me goodbye in his sleep. He’s too adorable, especially when he’s sleeping soundly….

Do you believe that the last person that you kissed cares for you? Absolutely.

The person you like at the moment finds someone new, what is your reaction? I don’t think he would just… find someone new. I think if it were going to happen, it’d be over a period of time, and I’d realize it and we’d talk about it. So it would never be a shocker or anything if it were to happen. I just… don’t think it will. Nick’s been pretty open about how he feels about me. I’m confident he’s not going to leave me for someone else.

Could you stay in the same relationship for over a year? If I could with Bryce, I’m positive I could with Nick. So yes. Definitely. I get pretty attached….

Do you like to cuddle? Mmhmm. Especially after a long day… best thing ever is cuddling with Nick.

Will you be in a relationship in the next couple months? I’m planning to be….

What are you listening to? I was listening to music, but now it’s just silence. I can hear the traffic outside, now that I’m concentrating… I guess I don’t really hear it so much anymore. It’s something you sort of just get used to hearing all the time.

Has anyone told you they don't wanna ever lose you? Yes 3

Have you ever kissed someone with a lip ring? I haven’t, nope.

What time did you wake up this morning? Around 7:00.

Have you held hands with somebody in the past four days? Sure have. It’s weird how some people are just good hand-holders, you know? Like with Nick… I don’t know. He just knows how to hold your hand. He’s so gentle about it, yet he holds on tight… confidently. It’s like he never wants to let go… like he’d be content just holding my hand forever. That sounds so sappy… and kind of unrealistic… but I’m serious. He holds on in a way that makes me feel so safe and loved and warm… haha but I digress. Yes. I’ve held hands over pretty much the past four days.

Who makes you the happiest? I feel like Nick’s the answer to all of my questions. He makes me so so happy. But Alice makes me happy too, even if I worry about her sometimes. And Jasper makes me happy for keeping an eye out for Alice… and for being there for Nick when he needs him…. So my friends make me happy too—even if Nick makes me happiest ;o).

Have you ever let someone be your everything? I’ve always sort of been my own everything, you know? When I was growing up, I had my parents to impress, but I wanted to do things for myself, too. So… I don’t know. When Bryce and I started dating, I put a lot into our relationship that I shouldn’t have… and I really let him… have a big influence. But I still don’t think he was ever my everything… nor were my parents… I was always my everything because I was all I really had at the end of the day, and I think instinctively, I knew that.
…But now, Nick’s coming really really close to passing me up on being my own everything. If he isn’t already, he will be… I can feel it. And I think I’m…strangely okay with that. I trust him enough to know that it’s mutual. Maybe the way it works is you can make someone your everything and put them before yourself only if that person makes you their everything and puts your before themselves. That way, you’re looking out for each other.

Do you have more guy friends or girl friends? Let’s see. I have a few ‘friends’ at school who are girls… no one I’d really hang out with outside of school, though, unless it was to study. I guess the women I work with are sort of my friends? And then I have Nick, Alice, Jasper, and Spencer… so more close guy friends, but more girl friends in general. Strangely enough.

Is your hair up or down right now? Down, since we’re going out. Anddd Nick’s here! He’s going to let me finish up though ;o)

How is your day going so far? Not too bad now that Nick’s here because he’s the most amazing guy ever and I love him. (Yeah, Nicky typed that one, but he’s giving me those big innocent eyes like he can do no wrong. Too cute, which is why I’ll just leave that answer ;o) haha).

What's your favorite color? Hmm. Good question. I think it changes often. Right now, I love purple. Alice painted my nails purple recently, actually, so maybe I like it because I’ve been seeing it so much haha. But purple’s pretty… I really like going on the roof of the apartment and watching the sun set though… I think sometimes you can see colors that don’t even have a name yet. That’s probably my all time favorite. I’ll have to take Nick up there with me some time….(And he agrees.)

Are you watching television? Nope.

Do you believe that everyone deserves a second chance? I want to believe it, but I don't know if I can.... Yes and no. It depends on the person. Regarding my parents... I'd like to give them a second chance, if they asked me for one. Bryce... I'm really okay if I never gave him one. I just don't want to get into stuff with him again... I'm so much better off without him....

And Nick's watching me SO intently as I'm responding to this question! Haha...okay. I vote... overall, yes. Everyone deserves a second chance. Unless they've really hurt me and I don't believe that their second chance request was legitimate.

What kind of mood are you in? Content. I am in the mood to just go out and have a good night.

Do you take naps? I can't remember the last time I took a nap. I just don't have the time. My day starts early, I go from work to school or school to work, do homework, eat dinner, shower, have some downtime with Nick, and then I go to sleep.

Do others judge you? I don't know. Maybe. Probably. But if I'm doing what makes me happy, then it doesn't matter if they judge.

Would you get a tattoo, or do you have one? I don't have one... I don't know if I'd get one. I guess if there was something I liked enough to have somewhere on me permanently, then I might. Someday.

Would you be surprised if your most recent ex called you tonight? I would be very surprised... probably wouldn't answer.

Who was the last person you went out to eat with? Alice, Nick, and Jasper :o)

Were you single on your last birthday? No

Is it cute when guys kiss you on your forehead? Mm hmm... makes me feel special.

How many hours of sleep did you get last night? Umm... I think we got to sleep around one... so... six hours or so?

When is your birthday? July 6, 1990

What color shirt are you wearing? Purple to match my nails.

Do you have a best friend? Nick's probably the best friend I've ever had.

What are you saving your money up for right now? Rent, so I can stay in NYC...especially over the summer.

Can you tie a cherry string with your mouth?: Actually... yes. Hidden talent. Haha... Nick looks interested.

Do you get scared in the dark? No, I like the dark. It's comforting... I feel kind of snug and safe in the dark.

Coffee or Energy Drink? If I had to choose one or the other, Coffee. It's done a lot for me in the past. But I'd probably go for water first....

Favorite Pizza Topping? Vegetables! :o) As Nick gags. White pizza with extra cheese, mushrooms, peppers, onions, tomato... very good. And colorful.

What's your favorite ice cream flavor? This is going to sound disgusting, but it's actually really really good. I like vanilla ice cream with warm maple syrup, and granola on top. Amazing. But if I'm getting an ice cream cone or something, I like pumpkin ice cream.

What's your main goal in life? I want to make a difference... to influence just one person. I'd love it if one day, someone looked back and said 'Wow. I wouldn't be who I am today without her.' I guess that's my number one goal. I have a lot of goals... but I'm trying to slow down and just take everything one step at a time. :o)


That was a lot longer than I thought. Thanks for reading? I hope it was interesting for you. I guess we're heading out to dinner now... I'm pretty sure Nick and I are going to debate about how it is even possible to enjoy maple syrup and granola on ice cream. (I'm winning this one!) See you later! :o)

Nick Hacks the Hope Blog (Random facebook survey)

Hey! I’m Nick. I got a bit bored and tried out one of those random surveys I saw on the internet... I know, I really have a life when I’m not with Chloe, huh? And then I hacked into the Hope blog to post it. You guys can creep my life a little and check it out.

If the last person you kissed said that you were the only one they wanted, what would you say?
I would say it right back. I only want to be with you, Chloe!

Do you think you're wasting your time on the one person you like?
Hell no! She might be wasting her time on me... but I am definitely not wasting time on her.

Can you fill this out without lying?
Maybe... *inserts devious smirk*

What are you doing now?
I stole a laptop from Alice’s fashion room to go on the internet and landed up doing this thing. Gonna take my girlfriend out somewhere nice later though.

When is your birthday?
May 20

Who was the last person you took a picture with?
I don’t remember. I kinda have to stay away from any signs of a camera these days. You know, because I have had a bad hair day for a while? :P

What are you listening to?
The sounds of Ali talking a mile a minute about fashion nonsense on the other side of the room. I guess it’s my own fault for chilling in the fashion room. I brought on my own death.

Is anything bothering you right now?
There are a few things...

What plans do you have for tonight?
Going out with my beautiful girlfriend tonight :)

Where was the last place you fell asleep other than your own bed?
Technically I don’t really have a bed so... I guess it would be the one in Jasper’s guest room.

What is more important, happiness or trust?
Trust. I’ve learned that. If you cannot trust someone than that will be in the way of your happiness.

What's the very first thing you do when you wake up?
Open my eyes ;)

Do you even KNOW how to do the laundry?
Yep. I learned how to do that when I was very young...

Who's the last person that told you they loved you?
Chloe, obviously.

When's the last time you had a headache?
Haven’t had a headache in a while. I don’t really get sick much. I’m pretty much invincible.

Do you like reading?
To an extent. I can do it and it’s okay. But not as much as Chloe, who LOVES books. I just read sports magazines sometimes. That’s about it.

Do you ever think about stuff and start crying?
Not really. Tears aren’t going to help anything.

Do you ever think "what if" about anything?
Sometimes about things in my childhood.

Are you happy with the way things are going?
Happier than I ever have been in my life. (*sighs* Alice just gave me a big hug when she read that over my shoulder. Noisy little brat. Haha. )

Who's bed did you sleep in last night?
The guest room bed..owned by any guests, I guess? :P

Last person on your bed beside you?
Chloe!

Last time you had a sleepover?
A sleepover? Well I guess last night with Chloe. A very enjoyable sleepover, lol!

Dark hair or light hair in the opposite sex?
Brown. Chloe’s shade. That’s a perfect color.

Have you ever been awake for more then 2 nights straight?
Yes.

Where did you go in a car last?
To the mall with Jasper.

Have any memories that you'd like to forget?
Too many to count, but that's life.

I think normal sized?

Do/have you ever liked someone older than you?
I’m dating someone older than me righttt now. She’s a cougar ;)

Is there one thing/anyone that is on your mind constantly?
Yes! Spencer. He just never leaves my mind. Sometimes I wonder if it’s some sort of obsession. It makes Chloe jealous sometimes. Just kidding, sweetheart!

Do you believe that it is best to have a good friendship first then love?
If I hadn’t had Jasper I would have never come to New York and I would never have found Chloe, So, my answer is yes. Plus, I think sometimes you need friends to help you learn how to love before the real thing.

Does anybody hate you?
Greg, if his feelings haven’t went beyond hate yet.

What is something that you're looking forward to?
I’m pretty excited for Christmas. Except I’m nervous too. It’s my first Christmas in a while that I’m actually spending with friends. And of course it will be my first Christmas with Chloe.

Do you have any plans for tomorrow?
Not yet.

Have you eaten popcorn in the last 48 hours?
Nope, but I kinda want some now.

Do you have an older brother?
No.

What will you do after this?
Get pretty and then go pick up Chloe for our date. If I’m not dead from Alice’s ramblings by then... (ouch! She just hit me! What did I do?)

The last person you kissed, do you hate them?
Why would I kiss them if I had hated them? No, I love the person I kissed, actually.

The phone rings who is it ?
Probably Chloe since both Alice and Jasper are phone, unless Jasper enjoys calling my cell phone from inside the shower. Unless it was Spencer calling... he might call me from the shower. :P

What should you be doing right now ?
Going into the bathroom and throwing a bucket of cold water over the shower so Jasper might get out. Damn that boy takes too long in the shower.

Got any friends who lie a lot?
I hope not.

Someone in your life can always make you smile, true or false ?
Definitely true.

Oh don’t get me started on that one.

No. I wouldn’t want to change how things happened. It lead me to this and I like my life at the moment.

Whats irritating you right now?
A dream I had recently...

What was your childhood nickname?
I didn’t really have a nickname. Sometimes people called me Nicky?

Do you have a best friend?
I do.

What were you doing at 8 this morning?
Sleeping the day away or at least that's what Chloe claims I was doing :P.

Have you ever passed/blacked out?
A few times in a fight and when I was on some crazy ass drugs.

How many clothes do you have in your closet?
Tooo much. Alice is insane.

Can a boy and girl be friends without having feelings for each other?
Definitely.

Where’d you get the shirt you’re wearing?
You’d have to ask Ali.

Do you make your bed daily?
If I don’t Chloe will try to, so, yes.

Would you ever kiss the last person you kissed again?
Oh yeahhh.

What are you doing right now besides this survey?
Watching Alice in her fashion frenzy. Someone could make a reality TV show about her and fashion. It’s really amusing.

Have you ever done something outrageously dumb?
Haha, yeahhh.

Last December what was your love life like?
Love wasn’t really a part of my life last year.

Do you think the last person you kissed cares for you?
I definitely think so.
And this is where I close my adventure in survey taking. Jasper is out of the shower and I need to shower. Hope you guys all enjoyed a look into my life. See ya!

Chapter 38 Teaser Quote!

Hey, Hope fans! Sorry about the delay... The chapter comes out tomorrow and you get a teaser the day before. At least you won't have to wait so long to see the rest of it ;).

This week we're starting something new. The teaser quote will be posted on the blog with a teaser picture/pictures. No worries, twitter fans, I will be posting the link up there.

"Alice!" Chloe said anxiously in a hushed voice, looking at the table like it was alive or something.

"What?" I whispered back, looking hurriedly down at the table, needing to see what had her looking so scared.

A packet of weed was sitting on the coffee table beside a few joint papers and a knife. Wait, what? Knife?

See look at that. You get two teasers! lol! But anyways, Forgotten Hope will be updated tomorrow. :)
