《Callie and Arizona, simple love story.》Do I tell her?
Advertisement
Chapter 2;
Callie POV:
The thing that came out of her mouth, I never thought was something I would hear from her.
"can you come lay with me?" She asked me in almost a whisper, almost like she was afraid I was going to say no. Did Arizona feel the same way about me how I felt about her? Well, theres time to discuss that later, I smile and stand up and start to walk toward to door. I'm not going to be that easy on her.
"Calliope please" she pleads "I'm scared" I turn to look at her eyes, and they look filled with fear. I don't know why she's so scared, but I start to walk back over to her bed. She scoots over and leaves a spot by her where I can sit.
Arizona POV:
I asked Calliope to lay with me, and she started to walk towards the door.
Was she playing hard to get, or did she really not like me? Well, theres time to think about that later.
I plead with her to come and lay with me. I tell her i'm scared which isn't a lie honestly. I'm actually really scared, and I don't know why. I've always had this fear of hospitals, oh, right, I failed to mention that didn't I? Yeah, hospitals scare me, they give me anxiety, and I get all panicky when I'm in one. You're probably wondering why I'm so calm right now.
The answer; Calliope. I don't know theres just something about her that makes me feel safe, theres something about her presence that makes me feel protected and safe. She starts to walk over to my bed and I scoot over to make a spot next to me. She sits down right next to me, and the minute she sits down I lay my head on her shoulder, and put my hand on her thigh

"I'm scared" I repeat myself.
Callie POV:
Why is she scared? Does it have something to do with the hospital or is it me?
If it was me I'm pretty sure she wouldn't tell me to come lay next to her.
As soon as I sat down she laid her head on top of my shoulder, and put her hand on my thigh
Her touching my thigh sent a shock through my body; the good kind. She tells me again that she's scared. I figured it was time to ask her why.
"Why are you scared?" I ask her softly
"Hospitals scare me. I've always been afraid of them. They remind me of death. The last time I step foot in a hospital it was because my grandma was on life support and they were about to pull the plug but they wanted to make sure I got to say my last goodbyes, and so now every time I am in a hospital I get this anxiety, and I start to panic because I feel like I might die" she replies back to me, and I could hear her voice getting shaky. I looked over and I see a tear rolling down her cheek. Before she could wipe the tear away I do.
Arizona POV:
I literally just spilt my fear of hospitals all out to Callie. She was silent the whole time, just listening to me. She just made me feel so safe, and loved, and wow, the more I talk with her, and am around her, the more I start to like her.
I feel a tear start rolling down my cheek and before I can wipe it away I feel a warm hand wiping it away. It's Callie's hand.
"Hey, look at me" are the words that come out of Callie's mouth.

I look up to find her beautiful brown eyes looking at me.
"you are not dying okay? I promise you right here, right now. You aren't dying, and you aren't going to die. Not on my watch. You're safe here with me, and i'm promising you right now that you aren't going to die, okay?"
All I can do is nod my head. I lay my head back down on her shoulder. Callie just makes me feel so safe. Now more than ever do I want to just spill my feelings out to her.
come on Arizona, you can do it. a voice inside my head keeps telling me. But I just lay there for a few minutes enjoying Callie's presence.
Callie POV:
I really want to just tell her how I feel. I'm just worried. What if she doesn't feel the same way? What if she gets mad? What if she's straight?
come on Callie. you can do it. The voice inside my head tells me. I have my arm around her waist, just holding her in a tight hug. Just enjoying her presence right now. I just met Arizona a few hours ago, and I'm already falling in love with her. "Arizona" I ask almost in a whisper
But I get no answer "Arizona" I ask again but this time I look over to her, and I see her eyes closed, and she's still breathing. Which means she's asleep. The next thing I know i'm asleep next to her, with my arm around her waist hugging her tightly.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.

The Aether Universe
It was a normal morning for Tai, until his longtime friend, Jake, warned him. Jake warned him that something was happening to Earth, the whole universe. It was being integrated into the Aether Universe, where all worlds and universes go to. Entering the Aether Universe, humans must survive in a new environment filled with danger at every corner where many beings that have spent all their lives in the Aether Universe await, controlling vast empires that span across many planets. Follow the story of Tai as he travels the Aether Universe, getting used to the new normal, making a name for himself and becoming a legend. --Author's Note-- This is my first book here and this book is inspired by The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound. The way to get status points were based on the way in Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path. Note: I'm only borrowing the way to get status points as I thought it was cool. I am an amateur author and am writing this as a cool hobby to get me through quarantine. If you see any grammar mistakes or anything, please let me know. Criticism is accepted, but don't use that as an excuse to just hate the book. If you don't like the book, tell me why so I can improve upon it. Cheers! Schedule: 1 chap a day
