《She's The One》21

Alex's P.O.V
I'm worried about Harper. She has been sick a lot the past couple of days. We haven't been so school since Monday and it's Wednesday now. We both missed the game yesterday but I couldn't play anyway with a broken rib. A lawyer called me yesterday saying my father would be going to court in a month and I had to be there to testify. I agree because i would do anything to keep him away from Harper.
I am pulled out of my thoughts by the microwave beeping telling me the popcorn is done. I grab a bowl and pair it into it before heading back into the living room where Harper is laid on the couch. She is snoring softly and I pull out my phone snapping a picture at how cute she is when she is sleeping.
I put the popcorn on the coffee table and pull her into my lap peppering her face with kisses. She opens her eyes yawns before smiling at me.
"Hey baby" i say smiling down at her. "How was your nap?"
"Good. I'm so tired" she says before closing her eyes again. I hold her in my lap while she sleeps. This is perfect. I said it before but I could live like this the forever. An hour later she finally stirs from her slumber. She yawns again and rubs her eyes cutely before looking up at me.
"Hey" she says in her sleepy voice causing me to smile wide.
"Hey." I say back as she stretches and get off my lap. We go out for dinner and decide to stop by the new arcade they just built. By the time we get home its late and Harper is yawning again. She's so tired even though she sleeps all the time. After changing and crawling into bed she is out again.

I kiss her forehead and tell her I love her before falling asleep myself.
Harper stays with me for the next 3 days. It's the same thing except we have school and Harper had to cheer at the game last night. I sat with my team on the bench since I am the Captain I had to be there for support. She has to go home today her parents called and said she needs to spend some time at her own home.
That's how I ended up sitting here by myself bored out of my mind. I decide to call Lo and see if she wants to come over. She says she will be here in 10. When she gets here, she just walks right in since she has a key I gave her a while back.
We watch a few movies and just enjoy each other's company.
"I'm glad you are ok and free now." She says smiling at me. "I was always scarred for you to be here before."
"Thanks Lo. I am happy right now" I say smiling back at her. "I love you. You know that right?" I ask her.
"Hey chill Alex I have a girlfriend and so do you." She says playfully. I roll my eyes at her silliness. "Speaking Of girlfriends. What's up with Harper?" She asks. "She's always yawning and looking tired."
"I don't know Lo. She sleeps a lot. Maybe she was worn out from being sick so much." I say thinking about my baby girl.
"Damn." She says popping some gummy bears in her mouth.
We finish the movie before Lo says she has to go home because her parents want to have a family dinner tonight. I hug her by and head up to my room to go to bed since I have nothing else to do. I strip off my clothes and crawl into bed. I send Harper a text telling her goodnight before falling into a deep sleep.

Cheep!?
Charles Monroe survived the disappearance of his parents, did his best to hold things together for himself and his sister. He survived when she, too, vanished, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note. He was devastated, but he kept moving forward as best he could. Cancer didn’t put him down, and after suffering through several rounds of chemotherapy, Charles Monroe thought that things might finally be looking up. That is, until a virulent strain of ebola swept through the city. With his immune system strained as it is, the odds don’t look good for Charles. Now, on the bridge between life and death, he hears a voice claiming to know where his family went. It claims that it needs his help and that it can give him a second life, one far away from all the pain he’s ever known. So, Charles answers as any reasonable person would. He says no. Charles isn't ready or willing to die yet. But, as with everything else to this point, even his choice to keep fighting is taken from him all too soon. With no other option but the dark oblivion of death, Charles chooses to make a deal with the spirit of a distant world that's seeking a wild card in its battle against the gods, monsters, and mortals that threaten its existence. Someday, he’ll find where his family went. Someday, he’ll uphold his end of the bargain and hunt beings powerful beyond anything he’s ever known. Someday, he might even – hatch? “CHEEP!?” Things to Know: -Cheep!? Will release on a minimum weekly schedule. -After a backlog of chapters, posting will slow, but in the interim you can expect a chapter a day up until roughly 25 chapters. -This story at times will potentially carry some heavy moments, but the tone is intended to be lighter overall. -There are invisible game-like elements in this story, but nothing so concrete as a dedicated gamelit novel. -I personally have some issues with anxiety, so I may or may not interact with the community a lot. I'll try if anyone has questions, but I can't guarantee that it'll be consistent. -MC is a non-human lead, and will never actually become human. Romance will potentially happen between side-characters, but not with the MC. -MC IS NOT THE ONLY VIEW POINT. I have to put that out there because people sometimes hate alternate PoV's in a story. None of them will be filler, and they'll be there only to give a little bit more nuance and meaning to the world that the MC has stepped in, or is about to be imminently important. I'll try to keep them down, but this also helps to prevent me from burning out getting trapped in one view. -Most of all, I hope that this story is enjoyable to you, and that you have a great time reading it! -Written by Michael Adams, Cowritten/Edited by Summer Kent
