《No Happy Endings? (COMPLETED)》XXVII: I Miss You

Claire's POV:
I changed my pyjamas on and scrambled under the covers. It had been a long day, longer than ever so far in my life
Alfredo had been shooting some video with his friends a whole day. When I asked if I can come with him he said quickly no. "No, you stay here" he had said shortly and I haven't asked why to him but I had just obeyed
My eyelids felt so heavy and I could nothing but let my eyes close. Just when I was about fell in sleep, I heard how my phone started ring
I didn't look even the caller because I thought that it might be Alfredo who calls that he has to stay there even longer still than he had already been. For my shock, it wasn't him but someone who with I thought, I'd ever share words again
Robert, little alarm clocks started ring in my head. Suddenly I was full of energy again. "Claire" he sighed and silence landed there for a few seconds. "You don't even know how amazing it is to me hear your voice"
I wanted just roll my eyes to him and close the phone but I still didn't do that. "What do you want?" I asked shortly and kind of annoyed. Of course I was since he decided wake me up
"I just wanted hear your voice and make sure that you're fine" he said quietly. "Well, now you heard and yeah I am fine" I spat out. "I know, that you might not want talk with me but I just want say that.." Again, long silence.
"You wanted say what?" I asked and after that I was able to hear low sobbing. Was he crying? "I miss you, Claire" he said quietly and somehow I felt a big block take a place in my heart. I felt bad for him.

He sounded so sad and weak but I had to stay in my side. I sighed deeply and said to him: "Robert, you know how things are now. You know that things would be normal if that.. thing wouldn't have happened"
My voice started crack up in the end when pictures of that evening. I would have just wanted hung up and throw my phone out of the window so he couldn't get in contact with me ever again.
"I know, I know.. I know that I can maybe ever ask you to forgive me but one thing I'd still want you to do" he said. I gulped and wait him to continue. "Are you there, Claire?" he asked and I mumbled back low.
He took a deep breath. "I'd like to meet you one last time" he said shortly and those few words made my heart skip a couple beats. "I don't know.." I said slowly. I wasn't sure about that at all.
Polices had told me to stay away from him. My brain yelled to stay away too but my heart still wanted to give him that last wish. I was stuck again.
"Think about it. You can come meet me to park on Wednesday in 4pm if you feel like you want. However, it's your choice in the end. I can totally live with that if you won't appear, or at least try live" he chuckled in the end and I'd have wanted too but I tried stay hard as possible.
"I don't deserve your love anymore but I wanted just give that last chance to quit this thing between us in peace" he said still. He was kind of right. Maybe that would be a good way to close this chapter before we'll move to our own ways.
"I'll think about that" I told before I closed the phone. This will be a long night which will be full of thoughts
~
Finally a new part. Sorry for making you wait😩

The Dark Lord Gillian - Tales of Prompted Madness (Complete)
There's an evil wizard. A dark knight. An elf with a shovel. There's a dude with a car. And there is a lot of just complete and total chaos. ... As an explanation for those mildly interested or mildly confused: this is a story that was crafted from the beloved-madness that is r/writingprompts. From one prompt, to the next prompt, to the next, with no other way to progress except taking a new prompt and using it. Far as stories go, this one was spawned by a mix of blind-clicks, and dice-rolls, more than any true selection process. Fantasy driven, it was written mostly in my spare hours between work-projects and on lunch breaks (whenever I was lucky enough to get those) by clicking on reddit writingprompts that I could find within those windows of time. Title is notable cliche, and I'm far more than just open to alternative suggestions. This story is complete and will by copied and pasted in with minimal to no clean-up. It will not be held to much in the way of quality standards. So if you have corrections, just keep that in mind... But, on the brighter-side of things, there will be an awful lot of it. Apologies ahead of time.

Black Wind, White Lotus
In this world, there are haves and have nots. The former are pureblooded humans, some of whom are capable of manipulating qi, the mysterious energy that flows through every living creature, to miraculous results that defy the laws of nature and physics. Wen Feili was one such cultivator. However, she allied with the have nots- the anthropomorphic hybrids incapable of channeling qi-and dabbled in forbidden demonic arts, seeking to change the very composition of reality. This did not end well for her, and she was consumed by her own flames. A decade later, far in the northwestern mountains, her daughter Wen Fengli is working as a lowly servant of the minor Shuangshan sect. In between sweeping the floor and avoiding bullies, she secretly trains with a wooden sword, hoping to become a warrior cultivator at some point in the future. However, since she's part-human, part-wolf, it's just a pipe dream. ....or so she bitterly thought. However, one day a mysterious amulet that belonged to her mother falls into her hands. A deranged old master, a terrible conspiracy, a mysterious past? None of that matters to tomboyish wolfgirl, who only seeks to become stronger. She embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, towards the mysterious southern lands where pure demi-humans are said to live...as spectre of war once again envelops the world of man. This is a Chinese-themed fantasy story set in a fictional world. You can classify it as xianxia, if you wish, but it's a rather low fantasy variant; the heavenly realm is silent, no one reached immortality in generations, and magical artifacts of old are locked away and feared. Magical beasts and spirits have been driven to the corners of civilisation, and "ordinary" abilities such as flying or controlling swords through telekinesis are considered spectacular feats. The main plot of this book revolves around a kemonomimi girl who seeks power, no matter the cost. This story also features multiple character pov, and will not always follow the perspective of the mc- there are two major plotlines, one connected to conspiracy and war ongoing in the political background of the presented world, and the other focusing on the main character's physical and metaphorical journey. The cover image was drawn by minyaxj, per my request, on a commercial license.
