《Little Rebel》Chapter 16

Kian's POV:
"That was probably the wrong thing to say dude." Cam told me.
"No duh." I said, wiping the whipped cream Jordyn just chucked at my face off.
"Uh, Kian..." Jc trailed off.
We all heard stomping down the stairs, then the front door slammed shut.
"Are you serious." I groaned, letting my head fall onto the table.
"Again?" Ricky asked.
"Your an idiot, Kian." Nash said.
"Yeah, I kinda realized that." I told him.
We all waited for hours until Jordyn got home.
I stood infront of the door when she walked in.
Jordyn looked surprised to see me, but rolled her eyes and brushed past, going upstairs.
I followed behind her and she suddenly whipped around.
I stepped back a few steps, surprised.
"What?" She screamed at me.
"Are you aware that you have been gone all day and you left without telling me." I asked, trying to sound like the guardian my mom wanted me to be.
"Yes, now are you aware that you are a douche and I did that on purpose?" Jordyn said, putting a hand on her hip.
I stared at her, not sure what else to say.
"Well, I'm going to bed." She smirked, then went in her room and slammed the door.
I sighed then made my way back downstairs.
"So...?" Ricky asked me. Everyone looked at me hesitantly.
"I think she hates me." I said, sitting down on the couch.
"Kian, she deosn't hate you." Connor said, sitting next to me.
"No. I think she does." I said, looking at him. "Did you hear what she said?"
They all looked uncomfortable.
"Uh, yeah we did." Jc said.
"But just because she said those things doesn't mean she hates you." Ricky said, quickly.

"Well it sure sounds like she hates me." I muttered.
They all just sighed and sat on the various chairs and couches.
"Lets play Mario Cart." Nash suggested.
Everyone said yes and jumped up to get controllers and snacks. But I just stayed seated and glanced upstairs every once in a while.
"Do you want me to talk to her?"
I turned to see Cam sitting next to me.
"Would you?" I asked.
He nodded and got up, heading upstairs.
"Where's Cameron going?" Connor asked.
"To talk to Jordyn." I told him.
"Oh, good luck Cam." Jc said.
I rolled my eyes and snatched the controller from his hands.
Jordyn's POV:
I laid in my bed listening to music and drawing on my arm.
I heard a knock on the door, so I took out my ear buds. "Come in." I said.
I was surprised to see Cameron come in my room.
"Uh, hi?" I said, sitting up.
"Hey Jordyn." He said, sitting on my bed.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"Kian thinks you hate him, so I came to talk to you." He said.
"He thinks I hate him?" I said, more to myself, and looked down at my lap.
I crossed my legs and hugged my pillow to myself, thinking.
"Whatcha thinking about?" Cameron asked, interrupting my thoughts.
"I don't know. Just things." I said.
Cameron just sighed and kept looking at me.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing." He said, sounding like it was definitely something.
But I didn't say anything about it. We both just sat there is silence.
I laid down on my bed and put my head in Cameron's lap, making sure to be careful of my glasses.

"Just so you know. I don't hate Kian." I told him.
Cameron started stroking my hair. "Then whats your deal with him?"
"If you can believe this, Kian and I used to be really close. Like best friends. Well, Kian, Sam, and I were best friends. But then when he moved here, my parents started treating me different. Actually, just my mom. But she acted like it was my fault Kian packed up and left." I said, feeling good to finally tell someone.
"He promised to call me. And he did...for a while. Then the calls, texts, and Skypes just stopped. My mom already treated me like I wasn't even her daughter, and then my brother randomly started ignoring me. Not answering my calls, not texting me back. I felt so alone." I sighed.
Cameron kept running his fingers through my hair, all the knots gone.
"That was around the time I was diagnosed with ADD and ADHD. I was bullied alot. At school everyone made fun of me. At home I wasn't even treated like a human. I did something I regret." I said, swallowing the lump in my throat.
"What did you do, Jordyn?" Cameron asked, finally saying something.
I stayed quiet.
He pushed my up so I was sitting and facing him. "Jordyn. What did you do that you regret?"
I didn't say anything. Just pushed up the sleeves of my crew neck and showed him my almost fully faded scars.
"Jordyn," Cameron said sympathetically. He grabbed my arm and looked at my wrist.
"Don't." I said. "Don't give me sympathy. It was years ago since the last time. I met Perrie after she moved to my school and we became best friends. She helped me get over it." I said.
"I don't know what to say." Cameron said.
"Don't say anything. I'm serious. Not a word. Ever. To Kian, or Nash, or any of the other guys." I told him.
"Jordyn, we have to say something. To Kian, to anyone." He said, furrowing his brow.
"No, no we don't. I've kept this secret a secret for ever. I only told Perrie because she's my best friend." I said.
"Why did you tell me?" He asked quietly.
"I don't know." I said. "I just felt like I should."
I laid my head back down in his lap and sighed.
"It's pretty late Jordyn. You should probably go to sleep." Cameron finally said.
I nodded and moved my head from his lap onto my pillow. He put my blanket over me and kissed my head. I took off my glasses and gave them to Cameron, him setting them on my desk.
"You are definitely not alone, Jordyn." He told me before leaving my room.
I laid there for a while thinking about what he said.
Was I really not alone anymore?
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

8 203The Violet Dragon Familiar
Five hundred years ago, the world was a much different place. Knights and mages roamed the lands, taking on quests and battling monsters. It was an era of great adventure… but it has come to a close. Monsters are long extinct, and with them, magic. You see, much like a tree creates oxygen, monsters produced mana – the ethereal substance that made casting spells possible. With no monsters to fight, the age of heroes ended. Now, the world is caught in a storm of technological advancements, new wonders seeking to replace the long lost magic. Evan Thames is a young man growing up in the prosperous city of Dewton. As the son of a famous general, he’s pretty high class, comfortable in his life… but that all changes when he recieves a mysterious parcel from his long absent grandfather.
8 95You World
You were web surfing on RoyalRoad, wondering about what kind of crap you will stumble across while you searched for your daily dose of stories, seemingly with nothing better to do in your life. While scrolling down that never ending list of novels, you noticed a novel named ‘You World’ which immediately grabbed your interest, and decided to click on it – yeh, you and that curiosity of yours. You waited for the page to load, then began reading the synopsis with maximum concentration. By now you are probably wondering why this novel is written in the 2nd person perspective and why the hell the narrative has suddenly changed from the past to the present tense – or what kind of weed this author smoked while writing this. While lost contemplating, an invisible force attacks your body, ripping your soul apart. Your body doesn’t feel anything but your conscious fades away as your precious soul is taken away from you, somewhere far and far away… [small hiatus - working on a more serious project :)] Tags: 18+ Mature, weird stuff, weird stuff, and even more weird stuff.
8 142(DEMO) Colorless vol.1- Phantamoire Enigmata
This is a demo volume consisting only seven chapters. The sole reason of this publication is to show the world a glimpse of the project. Therefore, the final quality of the product will be lot more refined and polished. This demo might get deleted from RoyalRoad after the actual publication. Synopsis: "Knights wearing their shining armor serving righteous justice riding their glorious horses." We all have heard that story- Heroes who do the right in the purest way without any tampering. But, is it really that easy? Is the world and it's heroes really that pure? After all... fairytale is just a lie. I might be the first author in the world who despises writing. I haven't read any story books or novel in my entire life but children's story book (not even ten of them). So, why do I write? Simple answer- the story. Inexperienced I may be but I believe my project and it's quality. The actual story will be posted somewhere in 2019. The story will be devided into 7/8 volumes and 90 (approx.) chapters. I have been working on this project for 1 year now. It took me 5 months to finalize the concept and plot, 7 months for the story and it's already been 6 months in writing along with 2 times of total revamp.
