《She's The One》11

Alex's P.O.V
I wake to a constant buzzing by my head. Without opening my eyes, I blindly reach for my phone. Peeking out of 1 eye I see 2 missed calls from Lo. I tap her contact and put it on speaker rolling over onto my back.
Lo: Bish Where are you?
Me: Sleeping.
Lo: Wake your lazy ass up. Come over. Bring Harper
Me: I will see if she can
Lo: Ok do it now. I have new movies and Michelle wants to have a lazy day with her best friends and her wonderful girlfriend.
Me: Who is that never met them before?
Lo:Funny get your ass up and come on
She hangs up and I shoot Harper a text.
Me: Wanna go with me to Lo's to watch movies with her and Michelle?
I send it rolling out of bed. After taking a shower and brushing my teeth I hear a ding.
Harper: Sure
Me: I will pick you up in 20. Love you baby girl
Harper: Love you too :)
After getting dressed and making sure I have my phone and keys I lock up and make my way to Harpers. When I get there she comes out with a huge smile on her face. I quickly get out to open the door for her. After I get back in I ask her why she is so happy. She tells me because she is happy to be with me. I peck her lips and head to Lo's house.
Once we get there we go in and see Michelle and Lo on one of the couches so we sit on the other. After the first movie Lo orders Chinese takeout and we decide on a scary movie for the next one. Half way through the movie my phone rings.

I look at it and see its my dad calling. Fuck. I forgot her was coming home today. Shit how am i going to get out of this without Lo knowing exactly what's going on? I look up to see Harpers looking at me as if to say "Are you going to answer it?" I give her a small smile and excuse myself to the kitchen.
Dad: Where the fuck are you I thought I told you to be here when I got back?
Me: I'm sorry I forgot.
Dad: You forgot? Get your ass home now you worthless piece of shit
Me: I will be there soon
Dad: NOW!
He hangs up and I take a deep breath before walking back into the living room. I am met with 3 pairs of questioning eyes.
"Sorry guys I have to go. Michelle can you take Harper home?" I ask without looking at any of them. She nods and I peck her on the lips telling her I have to go. I look over at Lo and she looks like she is glaring at me with her jaw clenched. She knows who that was and why I have to leave so suddenly. She always knows.
I make it to the door before I feel a hand on my shoulder.
"Do you have to go? You can stay here you know my parents don't care."
"Yeah Lo I have to go. I was supposed to be there when he got home" I say not looking at her.
"Call me please. If you don't call me in an hour I am coming over" she says still angry.
"Sure Lo. I love you LoLo" I tell her before leaving and heading to hell.
I pull into my drive way 15 minutes later. I take a few deep breaths trying to prepare myself for what is to come. After a minute, I get out and head inside. Once I close the door I glance around to spot my father. I don't see him so I take a few steps inside the door.

Suddenly I feel a hand on my neck and my body being pushed back.
"I told you to be home when I got here. Where the fuck were you?" He asks spitting a little on my face.
"I'm so-sorry I was at a friends house." I say not looking him in the eyes.
"You will fucking listen to me." He spits. A second later he punches me in the stomach causing all the air to leave my body. Still struggling to breathe from the hit and his hand around my throat, he throws me on the ground. I hear him walking away thinking it is already over I start to get up. He comes back just as I am about to get to my knees.
"Where the fuck do you think you are going?"
I freeze not looking up at him. The next thing I know I feel something hard connect with the side of my head causing my vision to blur. I fall back on the ground and he starts beating me with whatever he has in his hand. The pain to more than I have ever felt in my life. After a few more hits I can't feel anything. He is still spiting hateful words and I feel something else connect with my head and it all goes black.

8 100Breakout: What Did I Get Myself Into?
The world is normal, and I mean completely run of the mill. People do boring things all the time, like controlling wind, moving at mach speeds and becoming able to demolish a building in one punch after eating. What...that's not normal to you? This is a world where the abnormal happens every day, thanks to super powered mutants called "Pathos". Enter: Capital City: An infrastructure with constructed on the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan, the basis for a school system of which the goal was to educate the Pathos on controlling their power in a safe place while also protecting those without power from being harmed. If you graduate, you could even rule the City one day! ...Or you could just take advantage of the free student housing and perfect the art of being a shut-in... Join Reito Usodachi, a lax and jaded, but surprisingly strong 15 year old boy who's in way over his head, on his adventures in Capital City... The only problem is, he may falter a bit when he gets a grasp of how weird the people in the City actually are. Even though he's read his fair share of media and the like, no amount of reading Manga or playing games could've prepared him for this. Amateur writer here! Trying my best on my first Original English Light Novel! (On a short hiatus!)
8 119Syria Girl
Night falls for the three million Syrians waiting in refugee camps in Turkey. As they lie on rocky ground some of them dream of home, some of the day they’ll be reunited with their families, and some, like Ayamin, are sick of dreaming. Seventeen, independent, and hungry for more, Ayamin packs her tent and sets off on foot across the Mediterranean and Europe in search of a place to call home. But she’s got a problem, and his name is Danny Frey. Danny’s a juvenile delinquent from England, sent to Turkey to help out at the camps. He doesn’t like rules, and he doesn’t like the idea of Ayamin taking on the whole of Europe on her own. This is a love story set during one of the greatest humanitarian disasters of our time. It tells of life and poverty and adventure.

8 141Stories Of Indlu
“… to grow, for opportunity, for adventure, to be free. Join the colony ship Nao Vittoria. Be the first to live amongst the stars.” It was obvious from the literature that the NextStar corporation wanted the young, the adventurous and the brilliant. So why were the super rich fighting over seats? Why were AI’s trying to stow away? Did this signify a premature end to human/AI civilisation? Why had some questions directed to NextStar been aggressively sidelined? Why did the colonist inflight entertainment trial produce fatalities? In fact, why colonists at all? Those and many other questions, however, boiled down to a single central question. Why was the world’s most advanced AI dumped with a hundred year babysitting job for 50 million people speeding towards an uninhabitable planet? It made such little sense. The only sure way to get answers, catch a ride on the Nao Vittoria and play the inflight entertainment game, Pax Domini. I joined, and this is my story. Well, I feature. OK, I’m more of a spectator. Actually, I’m completely irrelevant I was just there. I’m only the storyteller. But what a story to tell. --------- Hi All, Content will be published weekly usually Saturday and typical posts will be 25oo to 4ooo words per post. Though for some reason the Royal Road word count does not include the content of tables so some posts may not appear to meet this criteria. Currently I have written sufficient unedited content to keep this schedule for the next 12 months (half way through the first story arc). My current productivity would indicate that I can maintain this schedule for well into the second story arch. This also allows for the additional content that will be posed exclusively on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/StoriesOfIndlu). This additional content follows minor characters, peripheral events, maps and other content that does not take away from the main story. I would love to accelerate the post schedule but to meet this I need the assistance of more beta readers than I currently have. So please let me know if you are interested. - Andy ©2022 Andy Leauter.
