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.

Unable to contend against their magic and advanced technology, Humanity was soon on the verge of extinction. Until, one ambitious man, invented the Fae Serums. And thus, a new world of Fae Humans was born. Miles Lykaon was meant to live a life of absolute comfort and power, as the next heir to Lykaon Industries. But when he was still a child, his parents passed away. Even with his Butler/Guardian watching over him, in order to protect what his parents had left, he was forced to grow older beyond his age. But he failed, and his inheritance fell into other hands. Until one fateful night, when two mysterious strangers, monsters, crashed into his home. He was meant to die, but a ghost saved his life, sacrificing the two monsters in his place. When Miles woke up, he had been granted a mysterious system, with a strange feature called forms. And so begins the Legend of the Vaewolf, the Lord of Blood and Shadow, the Huntsman of the Wild. Discord Server: https://discord.gg/sPEJKm9Cover Art: Drawn and Designed by me. So expect more art. Updates: I will do my best to update daily.

Devourer of Destiny
A wise old grandpa in a ring. An ancient weapon to unleash one's true potential. An unorthodox teacher who emerges from obscurity to provide heroes with enlightenment. In a cultivation world, those who would rise to the top usually have some sort of advantage that propels their rapid ascent. Things that many would offer their souls to obtain. Ebon Dirge, a fallen devil descended from the highest realms of the divine, is more than happy to accept their payment. Thwarted by the machinations of the mightiest beings in the universe, he is forced to begin anew in the lands of the weakest mortals. To prepare for the ultimate confrontation, he has hatched a plot to steal the best weapon of all: destiny. Whether it is a downtrodden youth in the savage wilds, a prince driven to desperation by the royal web tangled around him, or the students and staff of an illustrious magical academy... all should beware what they wish for. They just might get it. For a price, of course. --- PROGRAMMING NOTE This is a wholly rewritten version of the novel that originally began in 2018, not a copy-paste of those original chapters. ABOUT THE NOVEL Devourer of Destiny is an exploration of cultivation story tropes and foibles. It features: - Cultivation stuff. The story is a satirical take on xianxia and xuanhuan staples and tropes.- An irredeemably evil central character.- Multiple POVs. A lot of them, although the central character remains central and will always have the lion's share. POSTING SCHEDULE TBD. Still working it out.

Sailor Moon Silver Legacy
A gritty and dramatic new series of Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Moon!🌙 Following the defeat of Galaxia & Chaos, peace returns to Earth for a time, until one fateful day, when the unthinkable happens. Five years later, we start to learn how our heroines have been coping with their tragic loss, and what really happened that day. When a new evil threatens the planet, can the Sailor Soldiers find a way to put aside their feelings, and come together to face it? Or will Earth fall to darkness? New chapters: Thursdays (1-2K words per chapter) ☽ ☿ ♀ ♁ ♂ ♃ ♄ ♅ ♆ ♇ ☉ Set after the events of Sailor Stars, Silver Legacy tells a dramatic and exciting twelve-act story full of action, emotion, mystery and character development. It's a brand-new, canon compliant story about the characters so many of us grew up with and still love (even if we're embarrassed to admit it)! While primarily a faithful sequel to the original 90s anime series, the story also incorporates elements from the original manga, the Crystal reboot anime, and the live-action adaptation, as well as feedback from Sailor Moon SubReddit members. This is all combined with fixes to odd translations, the best aspects of the English/Japanese versions, and fun new ideas, to create what I hope will be a consistent and satisfying fan experience.
