《My brothers best friend, / Adam Banks TMD》Chapter 11
Advertisement
I was having an awesome time sleeping in on a Saturday when I got woken up by the knock of the door. I groaned. The first Saturday coach let's us have off and I'm woken up.
I look at the clock. 5:53?? Who in the right mind would knock on our door at almost 6 in the morning. Since I'm the light sleeper and my moms at work I have to answer the door. Charlie has always been the heavy sleeper and it takes a lot of work to get him up yourself.
I look in the peephole and see Bombay. What's he doing here?
I open the door and am greeted by him.
"Hi Kendra." He seems to cheery. I look at him with annoyance. "Sorry to wake you."
"You better be."
He laughed. "Same old Kendra."
"Not to be rude but what are you doing here at almost 6 in the morning?"
"I'm here to see Charlie."
I grunted. "He's sleeping but you are more than welcome to go in." I step back and motion with my arms that he can come in.
He walked in and I shut the door.
"You'll have to set his alarm to wake him up. Seems like the only thing that wakes him up other than himself." I explained walking down the hallway. "Have fun." I said sarcastically stopping at his door.
"Is everything ok with you two?" He asked eying me.
"Just peachy." I said giving him a classic two thumbs up.
"You can talk to me you know."
"I know but he knows what he needs to do. Or at least he should. So it's his choice when he's ready to make things right. Have a nice time with him." I leave him standing by Charlie's door while I head back to my room.

Slowly but surely I fall back asleep. Only to be waken by my phone going off.
What now? I grunt but answer my phone anyways.
"Connie, it's 6 in the morning and it's the first Saturday coach let us have off and I wanted to sleep in but now this is the second time I've been interrupted from sleeping so make it quick."
"Sorry Kenny. I'm not even going to ask about the first interruption. Anyway, the team is going to go play street puck at 11 and attendance is mandatory."
"Ok I'll be there. Thanks for letting my know. But goodbye."
"Bye." She said laughing.
I hung up and finally got to sleep for another 3 hours.

Now what am I forgetting? I have my rollerblades, a towel, and water. I have my keys and phone. But I feel like I'm forgetting something.
I grab a muffin from the kitchen and notice Charlie is gone. Bombay must have taken him somewhere. I head outside and skate to where we are playing puck.
When I get there there only Connie, Guy, and Adam are there. I look at my phone. It's only 10:48. Wow for once I'm early.
"Hey guys." I said stopping by them.
"Hey Kenny."
Adam hugs me at my side and he keeps his arm around me. I look up at him and he smiles down at me.
"You two don't have to be all mushy mushy you know." Connie said.
I turn to look at her. "Really Connie, I should be telling you and Guy that."
That makes her blush and Guy roll his eyes. Adam just chuckled.
"Fine Fine."
Soon everyone else comes and we start the game. We are all very happy and are having a lot of fun. But there still is something missing from us and we all know it. Charlie.

Connie said she tried to call him but he didn't respond so she left a voicemail. We are still hoping he comes.
Dwayne and Russ stop playing and look at the fence.
"Hey Charlie! You Finally showed up!"
"Yo Bombay. Come play!"
"Yea! Come on!"
Charlie and Gordon smile and come join our game. Charlie sits by me on the bench and hugs me.
"I'm sorry."
"I know."
"Are we ok yet?"
I look at him in the eyes and see he has suffered enough. "Yes." He smiles. "But you have to still have make amends with coach."
His smile doesn't falter. "I know and I will. Let's just enjoy today!"
I smile myself and hug him back. It's good to have the happy Charlie back.
The rest of the day was even more fun than I could imagine. We were all together again and it was amazing. I have really missed our team back and happy.

Artisan
Hi everyone, really, really sorry for disappearing on you guys, illness lead to a deep depressive episode that I'm still struggling with. Been thinking about coming back to revamp/finish writing Artisan and noticed a kind reader pointing out my work has been stolen and published on Amazon. The offending novel is The Artisan by Jon Moremont - obviously a GoT fan who didn't even read the blurb properly and put a wizard on the cover. Just wanted to let everyone know that this book has nothing to do with me, and has no new content. Thanks, and sorry again - LF Superhero Litrpg Skills, level-ups, powers, crafting, and base-building. Releasing a chaplet daily, ~1,200 words. It is 2054 and unemployment is at an all-time high. In the era of the quantum computer, autonomous systems have taken over as the backbone of the workforce. Justin, 20 years old and unemployed, has nothing holding him back, and since his government stipend will cover the expense, he signs up to play Imagitech's brand new game: A Time of Heroes. Justin has never been that into multiplayer games, but for a full-immersion virtual reality where he can play a Superhero, Justin is definitely in. 'Superheroes and Villains are on the rise in an alternate America of 2020. Forces of good and evil must band together to control the future'. Justin plays Artisan, an alien AI trapped on Earth.Inventor, hacker, and gadgeteer to a team of heroes. Hope you enjoy. Please feel free to leave reviews and comments.
