Hey hey hey ! ! ! !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Abby's POV
"Sweetheart." I opened my eyes and saw my mother smiling down at me.
I smiled and rubbed my eyes.
"Are you okay?" I sat up and nodded.
"I'm fine mom. Really." She bent down and rubbed my hair.
"Ah honey. This is one thing I never wanted to happen to you." I gave her a sad smile and she smirked.
"Do you want me to hire someone to kill Abe?" I laughed and shook my head. I know what he did was wrong but even people like him deserve to live. Though I do plan on dancing on his grave one day.
"No mom. That's okay." She sighed and smiled then stood up.
"Are you hungry?"
"Considering I feel like I haven't eatin in weeks... Yes."
"Okay. I'll order some pizza. Your favorite." She tweaked my nose and I smiled. Pizza sounds good.
I haven't left this room in three days. I just don't feel like leaving my bed and all I wanna do lately is sleep. I haven't checked my phone but I know that Aly and Abe have been calling me non stop. He doesn't know I know he cheated on me and to be honest I don't care. He was never right for me anyways.
I sighed and got out of the bed. Might as well start living again.
When I got out of the shower there was a plate of pizza on my bed. I smiled and put it on my desk then made up my bed.
I started eating and heard a knock at my door.
"Hey." I smiled at Greg and he sat on my bed and casually said.
"What's up?" I looked at him confused and said.
"Nothing. What up with you?" He shrugged and said.
"Just... Hangin." I nodded in confusion and said.
"Good." He sat there and started nervously playing with his hand.
"Is... Something wrong?" He looked up at me wide eyed and said.
"Huh? Oh. N-no." I nodded suspiciously and said.
"Right." He nervously smiled at me and stood up.
"Well as much as I'd love to uh... Be in here with you. I have to go."
"Where?"
"Uh... Over Darci's. Later." He walked over to the door and then turned around.

"Are you okay?" I smiled and nodded.
"Yeah. I am." He nodded and walked out of my room.
Maybe if I keep telling people that they'll believe it. And stop asking. Maybe If I keep telling myself that I'll believe it. I don't think about it anymore. I just wanna put it in the past and forget it. I know that this sort of thing is unforgetable but... I hate feeling like this. Like someone just dug my heart out with a knife and left me with nothing. Why would he do this to me? I have never been nothing but good. Why did this happen? Maybe I saw what I wanted to see in him and made him more than what he was.
I just wanted someone to take me to the movies. Someone to hold hands with. I wanted to have someone look at me like I was everything to them and more. I just wanted somebody to love.

I was in the hallway on my way downstaires when the doorbell rung.
"Honey get the door!"
"Okay!" I made my way down staires and opened the door.
"Hey!" I smiled and Joe walked in.
"I didn't know you were still here."
"Yeah. I-I know I was supposed to be gone by now but I didn't have to work so I decided to stay a while longer." I smiled and closed the door. Where does he work? He sure has alot of money that's for sure.
"Mom's in the kitchen. I think." He smiled at me and said.
"Are you okay?" I guess I shouda known that was coming.
"Oh! Yeah! I'm terrific." He nodded and went to the kitchen. I sighed and went outside. I need some air. If some else asks me that I am going to drop dead.
"Abby?" I turned around and saw him standing there with a blank expression. I stood there. Shaken up and a little uncomfortable.
"Yes."
"Can we talk?" I looked at him wide eyed answered.
"Sure." I mean what was I supposed to say? I'm meant to let him explain. Right?
"Look I... I'm sorry about what I said the other day. I guess I kind of... Over reacted." I scoffed and crossed my arm.

"Overreacted would be the understatement of the century."
"Look. I know I was a jerk to you. And I'm sorry. So can we just forget that ever happened."
"Were not getting back together."
"Why? Because I yelled at you?"
"No because you cheated on me." He looked horrified by what I said.
"What?"
"I don't understand how a person can just-" I stopped talking when I saw my brother pull up. Uh-oh. This is not gonna be good.
"You should probably go." He looked at me confused and I looked at Greg wide eyed as he walked up to us.
"What's going on here?" Abe turned around and I laughed nervously.
"You know Greg mom wanted you to run to the store for-" He gave me a look and I shut up completely.
"What do you think your doing here?" He looked Abe dead in the eyes and I sighed. This is not happening.
"I was just coming to say I was sorry."
"Yeah well sorry's not good enough now get away from my sister." I stepped in the middle of them and said.
"Okay! You know what? This is stupid. Abe I think you should go." He looked at me confused and I said.
"Just leave Abe." I looked at him pleadingly and he sighed.
"Fine. I'll go." He walked away and I sighed in relief.
"Why were you talking to him?" I rolled my eyes and started walking in the house.
"Because. Greg."
"Because. Because what? Why are you so naive?" He closed the door and I walked in the living room.
"Come on. Greg. Not now." He sighed and shook his head.
"Whatever Abby." He went to his room and I sat down on the couch.
"What's his problem?" I jumped and smiled.
"I didn't see you there. But he's mad because I talked to Abe." Her eyes got wide and she said.
"You talked to who?" I smiled at her and shook my head. I know me and Ava had our differences but these past days she's been there for me. And I appreciate that. Since Aly... Can't be.
"I talked to him."
"Why?"
"Why does everyone keep asking me that? I couldn't just send him away."
"Uh... Yes you could have. That Abe guy is a jerk. Jerk face. And you shouldn't forgive him."
"Yes I should Ava because he said he was sorry and just because I forgive him doesn't mean I'll take him back." She looked at me confused and then shrugged.
"If you say so."

I decided to go for a walk today. It was beautiful outside. And I haven't out in a while. I walked past the diner and and thought about getting a frappe... Until I saw who was in the diner then I stopped dead in my tracks. Nick and Megan were in there. And they kissed right in front of me! Why did I have to see that? I looked at them for a while because I couldn't seem to move. That's when Nick looked at me and I quickly looked away and hoped to God he didn't see me.
I held my head down and pretended to look at my shoes. That's when I looked up without holding my head straight up and Nick was gone. What?
I looked around for him and then saw him out of the corner of my eye. I smiled then turned and faced him.
"Hey." He smiled and said.
"Hey. I haven't seen you lately."
"I know. Its just... I've been busy." He nodded.
"So what have you been up too?" I shrugged and looked at Megan who was looking at us carefully.
"I don't know. Just stuff. And please don't ask me if I'm okay because I am." I smiled and he smiled at me back. But it wasn't a normal smile it ws like it had more meaning behind it.
"So... I guess you have to go." I gestured to Megan and he stopped smiling.
"Yeah. Yeah. I- I guess I'll see you then?"
"Uh huh." I nodded and he went back to the door. I watched him and he stopped.
"Abby?"
"Yeah?"
"I hope your really okay. Instaed of just saying it." He smiled at me and then went back inside.

Slime of Gluttony
_____ ___, a completely and utterly deplorable person. Lazy, apathetic, and unmotivated. He spends his time as a shut-in, wasting his life away doing nothing of importance. This is the life of the man, a life of no importance. At the impulse of desiring food, he left his small and cramped apartment. Regretting his actions immediately, he was left with the prospect of a complete panic attack due to the numerous amount of people outside at that day. However, he pressed on, determined to find some sort of delicious food to consume. Life had other plans for him. He gets hit by a car, and after hearing strange words from an even stranger voice, he dies. However, minutes, hours, maybe even days later, he awakes, his senses of smell, sight, and hearing robbed of him. Author's Note: This is my first story on Royal Road, so it might not be the best. Although, I hope you enjoy! I'll probably write around 2000 words or more per chapter, but on average a bit more. If you're wondering, the cover art is drawn by me, just in case you thought I wasn't giving credit to the creator.This story might often times lean more into the comedy side of things, but stuff can still get pretty serious at times, especially in the later chapters. The story isn't super dark or anything, but character death is of course going to be a thing. Who? Well, you'll find out, eventually. Also, I'll upload chapters on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I hope you enjoy reading this little hobby of mine!
