Henry's POV
It's been a couple of days since I met up with Chloe. We've been hanging out. Like a lot. I'm really glad that she's back. Like everything is so much better. I feel like how I felt before she left. I wanted to do something special for her, but first, I needed to ask Charlotte about it.
●●●
"Hey hey hey guys.!" I greeted while walking out of the elevator revealing the Man Cave.
"Oh hey Henry."
"Hiya Henry!"
"What's up?"
"Nothing, but have you guys seen Charlotte?" I asked Ray, Jasper, and Shcowz.
"Yeah she's in the back organizing the weapons." Shcowz said with his weird accent.
"Great, thanks." I said as I tapped the button that opened the door to the back room. "Char?" I asked to see if she was here.
I saw a figure sitting on a stool tampering with one of the blasters. "Oh, hey Ray can you get a flashlight?"
"No, it's actually me." I told her.
She now looked back to see me and just stared at me for like 3 seconds. "Oh hey," she said in a somewhat disappointed voice. "Can you get me the flashlight then?"
"What, no- Char. I came here cause I need you help with something. Well actually, I just need your opinion on something. But it's really important."
"What." She said flatly.
"Um, okay. Do you think that Chloe would prefer a necklace or a bracelet?"
"Why." She questioned me.
"Um... Well, since you asked," I looked at her giving her a sarcastic look. "I was thinking about asking Chloe to be girlfriend."
"Wait really?" She said in disbelief. "You're gonna ask Chloe to be your girlfriend?"

"Yeah... is there a problem with that?"
"No not at all. I'm just saying that I'm surprised that you wanna get back together with her."
"Why," I wondered. "You knew this. I told you that when she came back I would ask her out."
"Okay, whatever."
"Alright, so which one should I get?"
"Wha- I'm not helping you." She said annoyed.
"Why not?! This is what friends are for. You know. To help other friends. If you were in this situation, I would help you out!" I said now frustrated.
"Okay first, that's a lie." She said. "And second, I wouldn't even go to you for help. And also, a real friend would understand as to why I don't want to help you."
"Oh! No, I understand why you don't wanna help me!" I shouted.
"Oh yeah?!"
"Yeah! You just wanna see me suffer! That's all you want! You don't care about anyone else but yourself! Everything has to be 'Charlotte Charlotte Charlotte!"
"Oh really?! Well at least I'm not the one lying to others about the stuff I like just so that they could think that I'm 'cool'! I'm sure that Chloe doesn't even know what you like to do on your free time. When your birthday is. What your middle name is!! "
I gasped at the last comment. "How dare you?! She knows exactly when my birthday is!"
"Whatever!" She rolled her eyes. "Know what I'm leaving! I can't take anymore of your nonsense!"
"My nonsense?!"
"Yes! Yes, your nonsense! You know, ever since you've been with hanging out with Chloe again, you've turned into a real jerk. You keep on bailing on me and Jasper!" I scoffed at this.

"Last week, you said that you would meet us at Mario's Pizza Place and you never showed up!" She lectured me.
"Well I was busy. Chloe and I went to the park!"
"Look Henry, I'm happy that you're happy, but you can't just break your promises."
"I know, and I'm sorry. But I just really like Chloe. I think that she's the one. But I can't be in a relationship that you don't approve of."
"No, it's fine. As long as your happy, that's all that matters, right? I mean, yeah that is all that matters."
"Thanks Char."
"Yeah. But I'm still not helping you." She said.
"Oh c'mon.." I said but we both laughed. I loved her. But obviously just as a friend. Or like a sister. Yep. Sister. That's the one.
Hey! sorry that this chapter was so short! I'mwill be big for this tuned any

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

Micah Ever After
[Note: New chapters will not be released on this site anymore, nor will previous chapters receive any edits or updates. To continue reading beyond chapter 6, please use this link to find MEA on Scribble Hub. Sorry for the inconvenience.] Sawatari Mikasa was a normal high school girl. She was great at sports, had above-average grades, lots of friends, and a little brother that she loved more than anything in the world. To Mikasa, life couldn't be more perfect. That is, until the day she received the phone call that shattered her world. "Yuu has been hospitalized." Her precious younger brother, Yuu. In a fit of panic, Mikasa raced towards the hospital to check on him. But her negligence threw her straight into the path of an oncoming car... And that was how the girl known as 'Sawatari Mikasa' lost her life. When she awoke, she found herself before the being known as 'God', who presented her a second chance at life in a new world. She accepted, and only had one question: "What happened to Yuu?" But God would not give her an answer, and before she knew it she was being reborn in a world of monsters and magic straight out of a fantasy novel. However, she wouldn't be satisfied with that. 'I need to go home and find out what happened' This became Mikasa- no, Micah's goal in this new world. Even if she had to become God's enemy, or even that of the world's, she would do whatever it takes to make sure her brother is safe. If Yuu had recovered safely in the hospital, then she would be happy. Having fulfilled her duties as an older sister to the best of her ability, she would peacefully live in this world for the rest of her life. But if Yuu had somehow died, and was in this world too... 'Find Yuu' or 'Find God'. I don't care which comes first. Micah's journey to find her 'Happily Ever After' had begun.

Path of the Stonebreaker
Femira spent her life stealing scraps and looting corpses just to survive another day. When she stumbles upon the chance to steal another's identity, she thinks she's found the ticket to an easy life. But she soon finds the glamour of the runewielder's hall hides as much peril as the bloodslick streets. Can she steal the greatest prize of all, the knowledge to reshape the earth, and make it out alive? Abandoned by his abusive father at the far reaches of the world, Daegan may not have the powers of his ancestors but he refuses to die in banishment. Will he make it back home in time to prevent a brewing war? ------------------- This is a gritty drama-driven, rambling tale that presents mysteries early on that the characters work to unravel throughout the story. It swings between action, drama, and sometimes some darker comedy. Warning: A whole lot of profanity, alcohol, drugs, implied violence, actual violence and mega-violence—the kind that involves knives sliding into eye sockets and brains spilling onto floors—the usual stuff, scenes of intimacy, mercenaries, pirates, lots of moral ambiguity, including a wizard that likes to make tea with the heat sucked from his victim's bodies and a heap of world-ending monsters ready to eat people. _______________ Expectations: Updates every Monday and Thursday. Chapters will be between 2,000 and 5,000 words. I'm Irish and write in "Irish English" which is to say that I don't use much of the letter "z"
