'How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life
Or if I'll drown'
ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
Today was the last day of final testing, and the last day of the semester before the very long winter break.
Ever since the day I slept in Ace's bed, I haven't done it again. It just felt like I'm relying on him too much so I didn't want to add the pressure of keeping me sane at night. My solution for him to not worry was to stay up all night studying medicine, preventing me from sleep and have nightmares.
"Pencils down, time's up. Let's hope many of you failed this test so I wouldn't have to grade this many papers next semester. Other that, I'm supposed to tell y'all to have a good winter. Leave now," the professor to my advanced biology class says.
"Ray!" I hear someone call me from the hall.
"Hey Rosie, how were the tests?" I say, walking towards the exit of the school.
"Can we not talk about school? I'm so relieved we're down with the first half of it," she walks with me. "Hey, are you still not gonna tell me where you moved out at?"
"I told you Rose, if it was important I would've told you."
"You're my best friend, of course it's important."
The reason I haven't told Rose is because she's like a big sister, she'll freak out and starts lecturing me. Or she'll start crying telling me how much I've grown up so fast and so on. Also because I like my home to be just for me and Ace which makes me selfish, but I'll never admit that for anyone.
"You're so boring, it's probably in a cheap apartment downtown," she laughs at me.

"Yup, it's probably that," I smile and shake my head.
"Ace?" I yell, trying to get my key out of the door. I start walking into the house when I hear, "in here" coming from the gym.
"Hey, how were your tests to- oh Mother of breadsticks," I start saying, but see Ace shirtless covered in sweat in the gym.
"They went well, how were your tests?" He proceeds to kiss my forehead and walk upstairs like nothing's wrong.
"Y-yeah, great," I stutter and walk upstairs with him.
"Right, I'm sorry to spring this on you last minute, but some of my coworkers are coming here to discuss a new project we're working on," we've made it to Ace's room and he's still shirtless.
"Your business coworkers or your other coworkers?" He's now picking out an outfit, but still shirtless.
"Business, completely legal. They're also bringing their wives to catch up together, but I don't give two... monkey poops if you want to talk to them or not," I laugh at his cover for a curse word since he knows I dont like them.
"That's fine, I'll go bake some appetizers really quickly while you take a shower," his perfectly sculpted six pack is being covered by the door as he enters the bathroom.
"Thanks Bird," he goes into the shower and I head downstairs.
I hear the bell ring as I'm on the couch wearing a simple flowy dress with a belt around my waist and some heals.
"Wait, I'm coming," Ace tells me from upstairs.
He enters wearing a suit without the jacket of it, and a pinkish tie that matches my belt.
"You look gorgeous, I would really like to devour you right now," he whispers in my ear and I feel my cheeks heating up again.
"Not when the guests are arriving! Go open the door!" I push him away slightly, giggling at his pout.
I hear some ruckus indicating the guests have entered the mansion. When they enter the living room, I stand up tall when Ace begins to introduce me.
Suddenly, my blood runs cold looking at a familiar face.

Terminal
My heart was shattered that day. It was on that day that I realized that life had an end, and that mine was coming. It was on that day that I realized that I was going to die. Leukemia, they told me. It's almost over. I didn't know what to do after that. I thought that maybe it would be best to die right then, get it over with. I thought that I could push myself away from all my friends, all my family, stop them from missing me after I was gone. I thought that I could handle it on my own, that perhaps the world was better off without me. I was wrong. So please help me, I'm dying. Save me, I'm falling. They tell me I won't survive. Please catch me, because if you don't, I'll shatter. I can't grab on anymore, I can't keep fighting. It's going to swallow me up. My name is Alyssa Gray, and by the time you finish reading this, I'll be dead. ________________________________ A few warnings and things to note: -I've put up the tramatising content tag due to a lot of mentions on death, dying, illness, and a mother who tends to be rather cruel. I know that I take a perspective that many will strongly disagree with, and I'm okay with that. Just be warned that this isn't lighthearted stuff. This is real, and death is real, and this part streaches beyond the fiction into reality. -I'm going to say a minor spoiler, but I don't want it to take you unaware because it is something to be aware of. At one point, my MC attempts suicide and fails. It's a very violent scene and I will put up the gore tag after writing this, and it's also just really depressing. If this will be triggering, you need to be aware of this before you read it. -This is a christian book. It may go against some of your beliefs. I hope that you can read and comment anyway even if some of it does not sit well with you. Credits for the cover go to the user 'Media in Sanity'. Your help and assitance has meant so much to me, God bless you in your writing and your endevours. A proud member of WriTE. I've promised to finish this fiction and update it at least once a month. My schedule is very irregular, and I'm working on that, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that this book stays out there. I'm not ending it until it's done.

8 98Ladybug x Chat Noir (Cat Noir) one shots
I just randomly think of these short stories and want to share them!!! (No smut, lemon, or lime) Some of them are more short stories than one shots. This probably won't end until Miraculous Ladybug has a happy ending where Marinette and Adrien tell each other their hero identities and Marinette's daydream comes true. (1-99 were before season 2)Listen, I started this book in the eighth grade. This book grew up with me do don't judge too harshly. I know most of it is trash but it gets better as it goes... I think.*i don't own any of these characters or images. This is a fanfiction. *#2 in catnoirxladybug
