《Easy Is Boring ✓》Chapter Nine

"Beck," Jade murmured, running her fingers through his hair. "What happened?"
Beck sighed shakily, breathing in the vanilla scent of her hair that he had missed so much.
"My parents."
"What happened with your parents?"
"They hate me," he mumbled into her neck, liking the feeling of her fingers stroking his hair.
Jade hummed. "They don't hate you, Beck."
"Yes they do."
"They're your parents, Beck," she reminded him. "Losing a child is hard. And I know that's not an excuse, but still. Ben was their first child. His death is probably still hard on them."
Beck nodded, not in the mood to argue. He just wanted her to hold him.
"They love you," she continued softly. "They'll come around."
He unburied his face from her neck and looked at her. "Promise?"
"I promise."
Beck felt vulnerable. He hated being vulnerable, almost as much as Jade did.
But he would do absolutely anything to have Jade holding him like this everyday, comforting him as he did for her.
"So," Jade spoke, looking into his chocolate brown eyes. "You good now?"
Beck chuckled softly. "Yeah. I am. Thank you."
"Yeah, yeah. Don't mention it."
The gang all watched the two in awe, shock evident in their faces.
"They really are perfect for each other, huh?" Tori smiled, looking at Andre, who smiled at her.
"Yeah. They are, aren't they?"
"They need to get back together," Cat said, looking at Robbie beside her. "Can't they see how much they need each other?"
Robbie wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her close to him, which she didn't object. "They'll get back together. Eventually."
"How are you so sure?"
Robbie smiled down at the adorable red head. "Because they're Beck and Jade."

"I miss her," Beck groaned, burying his face in one of Tori's pillows.
Tori chuckled, sighing softly as she sat next to him. "She was here literally five minutes ago."
Beck looked up at the Latina. "No, I mean I miss her. I want her back, Tor."
The brunette shrugged. "Then go get her back."
"What if she won't take me back?"
Tori let out a breath through her nose, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "She will, Beck. She loves you. She'd be dumb not to take you back."
Beck smiled. "Thanks, Tor. You're a great friend."
"Thanks. I try."
"So," he wiggled his eyebrows. "You and Andre, huh?"
Tori blushed, smiling a bit. "Yeah...I like him."
Beck laughed softly. "He likes you too."
Her eyes lit up. "He does?"
Beck nodded, his tongue darting out to wet his lips. "Yep. Don't tell him I told you though. I promised to keep it a secret."
Tori grinned happily. "Don't worry, I won't tell him you told me. But how do I ask him out?"
"Write him a song," Beck shrugged. "Or something. I don't know. But I can assure you that however you ask, he'll definitely say yes."
"Thanks Beck!" Tori exclaimed, hugging the tanned-skin Canadian tightly.
He laughed. "No prob, Tor."

"Beck loves you, Beck loves you, Beck loves- "
"Cat!" Jade yelled, cutting the red head off. "Stop it."
"Okay." Cat giggled. "Beck loves you!"
"Ugh!"
"Can't deny the truth, Jadey," Cat sing-songed, rushing out of the car as Jade pulled up back to Cat's house.
Jade rolled her eyes and followed Cat into the house.
The perky red head ran to the oven, letting out a sigh or relief when she saw it was off.

"Calm down," Jade chuckled, turning the oven back on to let the cupcakes cook longer. "I'm not stupid enough to leave the oven on."
"Just makin' sure."
After about fifteen minutes, the cupcakes were ready to eat.
Jade pulled the pan out of the oven and set it on the counter, placing two on a plate for Cat, who took it happily and hurried to the living room.
Jade took a look at the red velvet cupcakes, wondering if she should eat one or not.
I've been doing fine with eating salads everyday, she thought to herself. One cupcake couldn't hurt, right?
She let out a sigh. No. I can't.
The goth looked at Cat, who was watching The Little Mermaid while munching on her second cupcake.
I swear, she could eat fifty of these cupcakes and not gain a single pound.
Jade shook her head, walking to the living room while her stomach grumbled.
"Did you already eat a cupcake?" Cat asked her innocently, not taking her eyes off of the TV screen.
Jade shrugged. "Something like that. Just watch the movie."
"Kay-kay."
~•~•~
After the movie ended, Cat fell asleep on the couch, causing Jade to roll her eyes.
She pulled a blanket over her best friend and turned off the TV, running her fingers through her hair. Standing up, she walked upstairs to Cat's bedroom.
Eh, she won't mind if I sleep in her bed, the goth thought silently, climbing into Cat's bed and pulling the blankets over her body.
Her thoughts wandered to Beck, as they did every night.
She missed him.
So much.
It hurt without him. And that night where she held him just made it worse.
She needed him, even if he didn't need her.
She couldn't wait for the Full Moon Jam. To sing the song for him.
To prove just how much he meant to her.
Because he meant absolutely everything to her, and at this point, she wasn't scared to admit it.
She would scream it to the entire world, if it meant getting Beck back.
Call her a sap, she didn't care. When it came to the guy she loved, she could be the biggest sap there was.
Their break-up was hard, for the both of them. It hurt for one to be away from the other.
But Jade hoped that they will find their way back to each other.
No matter what.

Mechanical Friend The wonders of every therapy machines
Enter the attention of the spiritual world of having a car and what it means when it is seen more than just a car. It is a lot of things. Cars are more than just a mode of transportation to get from point A to point B. Ever since I was a kid and grew up with my family driving in our 84 Buick Regal, I knew I had some sort of special understanding with these vehicles. I know many of you out there have communicated with your vehicles in one fashion or another, but with me personally, Ive always understood and heard the soul of these classic cars. Its made me feel more empathy and understanding of some of the situations they get in, but also understand the joy they feel when they are with whom they call their road partners. When we go to car shows or dealerships, it's mainly for the cars. We don't know what we want or how old we want the car to be. There is a mechanical friend for each of us to learn more about their scientific background. This takes the reader far beyond the facts of what the car breed is. Everything has a spirituality side of it. A Tao; The Tao or Dao is a Chinese word signifying the "way", "path", "route", "road" or sometimes more loosely "doctrine" of cars. If we are looking for a classic car tht we dream of then the message is "Having an old American car is that it doesn't have to be very pretty. It's a satisfactory pleasure of building it and getting together to talk about the American classic, muscle car or not, it's how you connect with others into a community that holds together community. It is much safer to be riding around in a standard classic car from the 60s an 70s because you are aware of your responsibility driving it plus if you're hit, the armor protecting you is the car itself with no huge lethal damage to the car or yourself" Others' tastes are going to be different and unusual.but it is best to find what cars are going to say when we bond with them in every day in all the ways possible. This book teaches how to connect with the vehicle and how to detect gender energies within the machine and waht the machine can do for you.

2450 - Age of Corporations
Cover: https://i.imgur.com/GhGrA2d.png - 400 Years into the future -Humans have ventured beyond the confines of Planet Earth, spreading across the Milky Way Galaxy.Governments and archaic societal structures have all collapsed, and unrestrained capitalism has found firm footing in human civilisation. In this dog-eat-dog society, where value of human life can be assigned a monetary value, we follow our protagonists:- a group of unassuming orphans with a dark secret,- a bastard scion of a massive multi-system corporation,- and a 'garage start-up' comprising of optimistic and starry-eyed inventors setting out in the unforgiving free-market,in their adventures and exploits across the galaxy! AUTHOR'S NOTE:Hi guys! This novel is just a pet project of mine, to exercise my imagination and vocabulary. The regularity of uploads will depend on how well this catches on (but nonetheless, expect at least 1-2 ch/wk).I proofread my own work before uploading it, so there may be grammatical errors or misused vocabulary. Please let me know in the comments and I'll fix it. I found inspiration for this novel from various sources (Cyberpunk 2077, The Mech Touch, etc.) so in some places you may find some similarities. Please note that it is just an inspiration and I'm not trying to blatantly copy those works. While I do have a general plot line in mind, the various volumes (or arcs) will be quite fluid and susceptible to influence from reader suggestions. This is so that my creativity doesn't stagnate. I hope you guys like my work. If not, please leave reviews! I appreciate any and all constructive criticism, and opportunities to improve myself. Scribblehub: Scribblehub_AoCWebnovel: Webnovel_AoC

Knight’s Fate: Knight and Princess
When war finally ended, the Arcadians sought retribution from the nightmares they had suffered from demonkind. A noble Princess had taken her mother's mantle in order to uphold peace between the two races so humanity could co-exist with their fellow demons in a kingdom without strife, but war paved the road to peace in blood and such path is but a fragile thread awaiting to be ignited by the flames of hatred. Another great war awaits, but will she be able to avert it?Second iteration of the Knight's Fate saga chronologically speaking. Yes I'm starting from the second because the first was an utter failure when I tried to write it, it just didn't fit the mood of a fantasy novel unlike this one. Though don't worry this doesn't mean you can't enjoy this one before I write the first. This is the first story I've actually published so I appreciate any feedback, be it good or bad just let me know what you think.
