'JJ please come home.' I've sent twenty messages in total. Still no reply. 24:58 have passed since i sent the first message. Yup, she's not replying anytime soon.
"Daddy?" that's the third time Henry has called me that. I don't know why he's calling me that. He knows I'm not his real dad and I've asked him why he's doing it but he just changes the subject. Just like JJ would do if she was uncomfortable.
"Yeah," I respond blankly.
"Why don't you call her?" He suggests.
"I've tried bud. Maybe she just needs some cool off time."
"Can I try?" He asks looking up from his fingers which he hasn't stopped playing with since JJ left.
"Sure. Here." I say handing him the phone and putting it on speaker.
Five rings later Emily answers.
"Hello," she answers with a very modest tone in her voice.
"Hi Aunty Em." He answers with a sad tone in his voice which chips away a little bit more of my heart.
"Hi buddy. Where's Uncle Spencer?"
"Daddy is wight here." he says handing me back my phone.
"Hello?" I ask already knowing what's coming next. Turning it off of speaker I ask her to continue.
"What the hell were you thinking? Cheating on JJ like that. You probably don't even care that she loves you. Sorry let me correct myself loved." When she says that last part it makes me break down in tears. Loved. Loved. She doesn't love you anymore.She doesn't love you anymore. My brain keeps repeating that sentence over and over and over again in my head.
"Will you just tell her I'm sorry and I miss her and I still love her and that Henry is missing her and crying and I'm crying. Tell her I'm crying. I'm crying because I love her. I need her. I miss her. My brain can't think without her. I can't go one more second without her. She needs to come home now. I want her to come home now. Henry wants her to come home now." By the time my heart had said everything it could I was in tears and Henry was too.

"Loves."
"What?" I ask with a shaky breath.
"She still loves you." she repeats.
"I need her to say it so I can believe it." I say hoping it's not a lie.
"I still love you," my other half says.
"Do you really?" I ask hopefully.
"I'll be home soon." And the line goes dead.

World of Combat: A Dystopia Gamelit Series
In her world, single combat decides everything. It's her sixteenth birthday and Kiriai has a big decision to make. Will she fight for her dream to battle in the arena? Or buckle under her grandfather’s pressure to become a healer? Her best friend Eigo is an outcast from his scrounger family. On a recent expedition into the wastelands, he found a peculiar birthday gift for Kiriai—an AI trainer from a centuries-old, martial arts game. Could it give her the advantage she needs? Will Kiriai win the fight that decides her future? An impossible deadline, a persuasive mentor, and her own family all stand in Kiriai’s way. If she loses, she’ll be consigned to a mundane life, but more importantly, banned from the arena forever. Kiriai can't let that happen. Combat Origin is the first book in the World of Combat, young adult, dystopia series. If you like strong heroines, gamelit/litrpg and a good brawl, keep reading. Author note: I just discovered the Royal Road community and decided to jump in and participate. I posted Combat Origin, Book 1 during Nov and Dec of 2019 (before moving it to Amazon), followed by the short story prequel that gave backstory on two of the main characters. (non-Gamelit - because the gaming AI hasn't been found yet) Now, Book 5 has been finished and posted on Amazon, which allows me to leave a 10% sample here. The books are all free to read, If you have Kindle Unlimited. Please comment, ask questions, offer suggestions or just say hi. I'm hoping to connect with readers and improve my storytelling. -- Misty :) https://www.amazon.com/author/mistyzaugg https://mistyzaugg.com/
