《Where Did The Little Rock-Star Go? (GXG)》Chapter 17

(Devon's POV)
I know it's just a game, but she was kissing back! I'm hurt, I'm angry, I'm sad. Why would Lauren do that? There were a lot of single people in that room, but she just had to choose Alex. My girlfriend. Lauren is a good person and all, but still..
I'm now sitting on top of the tour bus, my feet dangling from the sides. Fans are still out here, trying to get my attention, but right now? I'm pissed off. And I don't want to snap at them.
The door then opens, revealing Lauren, Alex and Skylar.
"Devon!" Alex shouts, not seeing me. The fans then start pointing to me, making them turn around and look up.
"What do you want?" I ask them, with anger laced in my voice. The fans quiet down, listening to our conversation.
"Come down." Skylar demands. I roll my eyes, jumping off of the tour bus, landing on my feet. I stand in front of the three, glaring at Lauren.
"I'm sorry." Alex mumbles. I ignore her, keeping my eyes fixed on Lauren.
"I'm sorry, Devon. I sh-" I cut Lauren off by smacking her. The fans gasp, along with Alex and Skylar. "I deserved that." Lauren mumbles.
"Next time," I growl. "Kiss someone who isn't taken."
I grab Alex's hand, dragging her back into the tour bus. I drag her into the back, locking the door behind us. Alex sits down as I stand up.
"You kissed her back." I say. "That's why I'm pissed at you."
Alex stays quiet before speaking up again.
"I know," She admits. "I was imagining the kiss with you."
I stare at her. The imagine of Lauren kissing her comes to mind.
"Stand up."

Alex does what I say, but looks confused. I walk over to her, quickly pinning her to the wall. My hands gently hold her wrist. I plant my lips to hers as she quickly kisses me back. She tries to move her hands, but I'm holding them down.
"You're mine," I growl. "And only mine."
Alex nods, "I'm sorry."
I let go of her wrists. Alex doesn't hesitate to wrap her arms around me, hugging me. I hug her back, holding her tight. I let go of her, lacing our hands together as I unlock the door. I walk to the front, where everyone is. Camila is holding a bag of ice on Lauren's face for her.
"Why the hell did you slap her?" Dinah growls.
I ignore Dinah, letting go of Alex's hand. I kneel down in front of Lauren.
"I'm sorry," I apologize. "I was just angry. I didn't mean to slap you that hard. In fact, I'm disappointed in myself. Please forgive me?"
Lauren looks up, taking the bag from Camila.
"Yeah," Lauren says. "I'm also sorry. I know I shouldn't of done that."
I nod, standing back up. I sit down next to Alex.
You may be wondering, 'why did I apologize'? I apologize because resolving to abuse isn't the answer. I should've let her talked, but instead, I got angry and slapped her. I've learned to control my anger and not use it on people.
Like that Paparazzi incident 3 years ago? That was the old me. I don't go around hitting people, unless they hurt Alex, me, or someone that I care about.
~~~
Right now, Camila, Alex, Raven and I are getting ready to prank call some people. I've gotten comments on YouTube to do it, so I'm doing it.

"Hello! Today we're doing the prank call challenge!" I say. "With me, I have Camila, Raven and my lovely girlfriend, Alex!"
I take my phone out, scrolling through the contacts. I stop and look at it.
"First up," I announce. "Is my good friend, Kellin Quinn, from Sleeping With Sirens!"
I call, putting it on speaker. After about 3 rings, he answers.
"Yo Devon!" Kellin answers.
"Kellin! How could you?" I fake cry.
"What? What did I do?"
"Y-You c-cheated on me."
"What?" He chuckles. "I'm married."
I go quiet, causing Camila to burst out laughing.
"Sorry Kellin! Doing a video." I laugh. He laughs and hangs up.
I shake my head while smiling. Alex holds my hand and squeezes it. I smile at her while I scroll through the contacts. I stop and land on Taylor Swift.
"Ooh. It's Taylor." I smirk, pressing call. Alex squeezes my hand again, telling me not to do anything stupid. After about 4 rings, she answers me.
"What's up Swiftie!"
"Taylor.." I trail off. "I just found out something."
"Yeah? Are you pregnant? Did you break your arm- NO! DID ALEX HUR-"
"No. No. Uhm, actually." I stifle a laugh. Alex looks offended at the last one, but I peck her cheek.
"Spit it out, Devon." Taylor demands.
"We're actually sisters." I squeak out. The other line goes quiet as we hold in our laughs.
"I knew it!" Taylor exclaims.
The four of us then burst out laughing as we can't contain it anymore.
"What? OH YOU LITTLE SHIT. YOU PRANKED ME."
I quickly hang up, seeing as she'll go on yelling and scolding me.
"Last one." I scroll through the contacts, landing on Justin Bieber. I press call as I show the camera who it is. He answers with a sigh.
"Yes Devon?"
"I'm uh, I'm pregnant." I quietly say.
"Who's the father? Aren't you gay? What the hell?" Justin questions me.
"You're the father.." I trail off.
I hear rustling on the other line.
"What are we naming it?" Justin asks after minuets of silence.
"I was thinking.." I look at Alex. "Alex. Name it Alex."
Alex blushes and looks away.
"Alex? As in your girlfriend? HOLY SHIT. DOES SHE KNOW YOU HAVE A CHILD?"
"Justin, I have something to tell you."
"Yes?"
"You've been pranked!" I quickly hang up, now laughing.
~~~
The three that I pranked were good sports about it. Justin was relieved that he didn't have a kid, even though it wouldn't make since, seeing that I'm gay and we've never had sex. Unless we were drunk or something.
It would be interesting if Taylor and I were sisters though. I can see it in the headlines;
Two music stars long lost sisters? Taylor and Devon Swift; here's the story now!
Yeah, as if. Right now, Alex and I are in my bunk, cuddling. I can tell Alex is tired because she keeps opening her eyes.
"Go to sleep." I say. "I love you."
"I love you too." She mumbles, now falling asleep.
~~~
see, I'm running out of ideas.

Rising World
Vonn of Shieldpoint is an ambitious young inventor who, as far as his family knows, just survived a terrible accident. Really, he didn't. Instead a being known as the System has recruited the soul of a modern college student from our world, to fill in for him. Given a new life in a new body, the former human wants to make good use of it and fulfill the dreams of the one he's replacing. He's an Engineer in a world where that's a character class with explicit levels and stats. This world is just discovering the power of steam and clockwork and the occasional magic dungeon crystal, so Vonn is just in time to become a famous genius. He just needs to figure out what the gods actually want from him. (LitRPG Isekai with light but important stats, nonhuman MC. Cover art by Alexandra, https://www.deviantart.com/oktoberbeef .) This book is now available on Amazon! https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B09H5CQSX5 For legal reasons, I need to hide most of the content from Royal Road for now. The version for sale is revised and expanded anyway, including a rewritten opening. If the book does well, that's encouragement to write more of it soon! Reviews are welcome too. As noted in the afterward, it's been fun and useful to share this work with all of you here as I worked on it. Update 2022/2/22: Wow, it did do well! Thanks to all who read, commented, bought, and/or spread the word. Right now I'm working on a side-story about character Selen, and posting that starting yesterday. I do plan to do a true sequel this year, yet.

Syche: The Dark Element

Together, they're on a globe spanning treasure hunt that is about to take a dark turn. While hunting for clues, Joshua decides to rescue an ex-superpowered-assassin named Gianna. Doing so puts a target on all of their backs and thrusts them into a global conflict not unrelated to the treasure hunt. The one thing Joshua knows is that he is out of his element.

Theory of Rifts (LitRPG)
You can join my Discord here. Keynes Kid is gifted with a photographic memory and being several months away from receiving Level 1, and a Talent, he finds himself in the center of attention of people who want to shape his Talent. If they can get him an intelligence related Talent, they will hit a jackpot. The Talent Unlocking ceremony finally comes and Keynes Kid receives… Error… Anomaly (What?) His new talent is… useless. Why then does the World Government want Keynes so badly they will silence anyone who knows about his Talent? At the same time... Somewhere in the Universe, ancient beings stir from their slumber, awoken by the system alert and the wall of glaring red warnings. Their greatest fear just manifested and they are hell-bent on erasing it from existence. -------- It is a slow-development story, so you won't find the MC with super powers at the beginning. -------- It is a coming of age story and focuses on a Talent system (in the beginning) with several additions that bring to the table upgrading of a planet’s tier and such (a bit later). There will be quite an amount of rebuilding society as new, unknown resources enter the economy, and a lot of travelling, delving and naturally, unlocking the secrets of the Universe. As for the setting, the story starts in XXI century, which technology-wise isn't much different from what we have now, but it is enhanced by magic associated with Talents. This allowed the humankind to colonize the solar system, but the technology that allows for interstellar travel doesn't exist (yet). Because it’s my first attempt at LitRPG, please be forgiving but constructive. I hope you will enjoy the story! --- Cover by Daniel Gembus https://www.artstation.com/daniel_gembus instagram.com/danielgembus
