Hey guys! It's been months since I uploaded this but this is a bonus chapter and I'm still tryna decide if I want to continue this, or just let it be done.............
What do you think?
Anyways let me know and enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nick's POV (From chapter 27)
She smiled and I went back in the diner. Megan didn't look at me instead she looked at Abby and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes when I sat down.
She finally looked at me and I sighed.
"What?" She smiled and shook her head.
"N-nothing. So listen, we have another docter's appointment to go too so don't flake out on me again."I smiled and said.
"I didn't flake out on you. I had to work. Who else is gonna buy stuff for our baby and pay the doctor's bill." She shrugged and said.
"Do you think we should tell Greg and Cassie?"I looked at her for a minute. I mean it's not like they won't find out soon. I shrugged and said.
"If you want too." She nodded and drunk her coffee which I so strongly disapprove of. I mean couldn't she just drink water? I sighed and said.
"Come on, I gotta take you home. Your mom is gonna kill me if I interrupt her plans again." She smiled and rolled her eyes.
~*~
"Greg, I'm telling you man. Don't do it."
"Why not?"
"Because, Abby is gonna be pissed - and you know what? I'm not gonna have any part of this."
"Yeah well your driving me to his house so you are taking part." I looked out the front window as we pulled up to his house. OH BOY!
(I really don't like writing fight scenes so you can just imagine =) And you should probably know my brohther wrote the one at the party!)
"Gregory!" His mom shouted at him. We were both in the kitchen and he was being scolded for beating Abe up.
"What mom?"
"You know better then to go around spreding violence!"
"Mom! That kid needed to be taught a lesson! He made my sister, who I love! Cry!" I smiled and shook my head. Which is the exact same thing she did before she turned to me.
"I can't believe you didn't stop him." I put my hands up in a defensive manner and said.
"If it helps, I was the one who said no." She chuckled and Abby walked in.
"Said no to what?" She looked at me and I shook my head.
"Nothing."
"Yeah Abby Normal, nothing!" She rolled her eyes and left. I followed her the whole way. Can she get any more pretty?
~*~
I hadn't talked to Abby since then and before I knew it, it was her birth day. I had strict orders from Megan not to get her anything so I just got flowers. I wanted to get her card and tell her why I don't- well can't be with her.
I wanted to tell her how I felt, but I couldn't, it just didn't feel right to put on a card. I wanted to tell her in person and plus I couldn't find the right words.So i gave the flowers to Greg and left before she saw me. Which brings me to my current location.
Laying down on my couch listening to Anna sing Lolipop by Framing Hanley. I sighed heavily and said.
"Anna! Can you please stop singing that!" She stood up and pouted.

"Why?"
"Because. It's inappropriate."
"Mona let's me sing it."
"Well I'm sorry but I'm not Mona." She sighed dramatically and rolled her eyes.
"Fine!" She ran down the hall singing Fireflies and I shook my head. I swear the older she get's the worst she get's.
~*~
Weeks past and before I knew it was in the middle of August. Megan had gone back to school and I had only a few more weeks left with my best friend. Besides Darci. She's not going to college and we found ourselves working at the same place so I'll always be with her.
I sighed and sat down. We chad finally closed after a long day of work.
"What's wrong Nick? Can't take a lousy job?" She slung the rag over her shoulder and sat down next to me. I wasn't ready for this. This new found father hood. I thought it was gonna be easy but there ws only so much I could do. I had to pay the bills at my own house, then I had to buy food for me and my sisters', then there was Megan and the baby. I barely had enough money for gas and I had been forced to get a second job and take on extra hours.
My mom doesn't do anything and this is all too much for me.
I guess I was so lost in thought I didn't notice Darci had shut off all the lights.
"You coming?" I cleared my throat and got up.
"Yeah."
When I got home I saw suitcases on the floor by the front door and a bottle of wine on the kitchen table.
I walked in the living room and saw my mom crying with a glass in her hand.
"What's going on?" She jumped at my voice and stood up whiping away her tears.
"I'm leaving. I can't stay here anymore."
"What do you mean you can't stay here anymore? What about us?"
"Your eighteen Nick. You can do all of this. And you can do it way better then me. I didn't mean for this to happen. I never wanted children. I never this life. But it happened and-" She shrugged and I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"What did we ever do to you?"
"Nothing! It's just..." She shook her head and started putting her shoes on. She went to the door and I followed her. She picked her stuff up and I just stood there.
"I'm sorry." She opened the door and walked out.
"Mom?" She turned to look at me and I said.
"Don't come back." As much as it hurt me I had to say it. She cried and got in her car then drove away.
~*~
I knocked on Megans front door but no one answered. She didn't call me back after the doctors appointement. I know I bailed but my boss is an ass and he wouldn't let me take off. And I know she wasn't mad at me for just that. It's been four whole days since she talked to me. Doesn't she know how completely paranoid I am?
I stood there for another minute before her mom opened the door.
"Hey Mrs. Sommers' is Megan home?" She looked at me with a sad smile and nodded.
"Can I see her?" She shook her head and said.
"She doesn't wanna see you. I'm so sorry Nick." She looked like she was gonna cry.
"S-sorry for what? Why doesn't she wanna see me?" She started to talk when her dad came up.

"Nick. You wanna come in?" Okay he's inviting me in and she won't let me in. This is really confusing.
"Yeah I do but-" After a minute of trying to make her let me in they both stepped out of the way and I walked in.
"Where's Megan?"
"She's up staires in her room. You can go up there but she's not talking to anyone." I nodded and went up staires.
What is going on? I knocked on her door but no one answered.
"Megan. Megan open the door." Still no answer.
Okay if you don't open the door I'm just gonna come in." nothing.
"Okay 1, 2, 3-" She opened the door with tear filled eyes. And I looked at her confused.
"What's wrong megan?" She didnt answer she just started crying some more.
"Megan is something wrong?"
"Yes there is somehong wrong, I went to the hospital the other day without you and it wasn't a normal checkup, it was me in the emergency room because I wouldn't stop bleeding and I called you by you didn't answer you-" She stopped talking and tears streamed down her face I went to hug her but she pushed me away.
"Megan I-"
"No save it nick our baby is dead so it looks like you don't have to be stuck with me anymore. Now leave." With that she slammed the door in my face and I felt like a part of me had died well technically it did but I never thought I'd be this broken, that was my baby and now he's gone and now so is Megan, I don't have anything. I started out the front door wihout even saying goodbye.
I got in my car and for the first time in a long time I cried.
~*~
I looked in the mirror at myself and did a failure attempt to tie my tie. Greg laughed and shook his head.
"You suck."
"Whatever man." After giving it another try I gave up and sat down rubbing my hands through my hair. I can't deal with this now. I can't deal with anything right now. I have had more then a hundred mans worth of sorrows in my whole life and it doesn't even seem like it's getting better.
"Can you believe this guy asked me to be his best man?" I chuckled and shook my head.
"No I can't believe it Greg."
"Yeah. He's the enemy! Why would I wanna be his best man?"
"He is not the enemy Greg. He's your step dad."
"Ugh! I hate that word." I shook my head and looked at myself in the mirror in front of me. He's complaining about getting a new dad and I don't even have one. And he thinks he's got it bad. At least he has someone who actually wants to be in his life. He has everything and I have nothing.
After sitting there listening to him complain I just stood up, shook my head, and walked out. What is wrong with him? He yelled at me and said.
"Where the heck are you going?"
"Anywhere but in there." He rolled his eyes and we heard laughing coming from the girls room.He motioned for me to follow and I reluctantly obeyed.
"...Hilarious!" Greg and I walked in and saw Alison and Abby laughing.
"What's hilarious?" I sat down and Abby answered nothing. Which is fine with me because I didn't really care. I have way better things to worry about, then what they were talking about.
Out of one ear I heard Greg insult Alison and she rolled her eyes. i laughed through my nose and felt Abby look at me. I couldn't look back at her though. My guilt wouldn't let me. Out of the blue she rambled something about having to go and I just barely had a chance to say something.
They were gone and I'd missed my chance. Not like I could say something in front of all these people. I'm such a screw up. And I'll never get anything. I guess that saying they say is really true. And I probably should have listened.
"If you can't find the one you love, love the one your with." Greg chuckled and said.
"What?" I shook my head.
"Nothing." I can't believe I said that out loud.

The Recently added part................
Nick's POV (After they kissed at the wedding... Don't remember? Here let me help you!)
He brushed my hair out of my face and I smiled even more. I have waited for this my entire life!
He leaned down and then he kissed me. It was magic, the way his lips connected with mine. It was right, and somehow, among all of the dizziness and the clinging to him like a life line, something inside me changed, never to be reversed. This new feeling could be dwelled upon later, because, for now, I was content to feel his breath come and go with mine.
I pulled out of the kiss and she looked confused, but all I can think about was how absolutely beautiful she was. I smiled and she did the same. We stayed like this for a whole minute I'm not even exaggerating. Until that idiot Greg came.
"What are you guys doing? Having some kind of weird mind moment?" I sighed and Abby rolled her eyes.
"Go. Away Greg. Were busy." He scoffed and said.
"You know what. There is something really fishy on here and I will find out what it is. Because you won't tell me anything and neither. Will. You! And YOUR supposed to be my best friend."i rolled my eyes and Abby looked at him like he was crazy.
"Greg. Calm down. If you must know-"
"Me and Nick just had a full blown make out session and were getting together." He looked from her to me and then back at her again.
"Fine, don't tell me." My eyes widened and he walked away. Can he be any more oblivious? Abby looked at me and I smiled. I grabbed her hand and said.
"Come on."
"Where are we going?"
"Just come on." She reluctantly followed me outside and we started walking.
"I have to apologize for alot of things." She stopped and looked at me.
"Alot of things like what?"
"Like..." I trailed off and sighed.
"I don't know. Like what I said to you in New York... I lied." She let go of my hand and I turned to face her.
"Lied about what?"
"I mean... Technically, I never really said I didn't like you but I might as well had. And you should know that, I loved kissing you. And I loved being with you that night. It's just Megan..." She looked at me and I guess she was waiting for me to continue but I couldn't. Should I even tell her about the baby? I mean it wouldn't hurt for her to know but then again what she doesn't know won't hurt her. But that would still technically be lying. I sighed and shook my head. This is stupid. I'M stupid. I grabbed her hand and half smiled.
"Let's just be together. Okay?" She smiled and nodded.
"I mean... We've wasted so much time. Keeping all of our feelings to ourself. And I'm sorry, if I hurt you. Please don't be mad at me. Please?"
"Nick. I am not mad at you. None of that matters now. Okay?" I chuckled softly and shook my head.
"Okay." She gave me a soft peck on the lips and I quickly deepend it. She was shocked at first but didn't break it. I pulled her closer to me and we kissed for what seemed like an hour. That is until someone had to come out and be a total buzz kill.
"Oh my god!" She pulled away and I looked at Greg who was in a state of shock. I mean, it's not like she didn't tell him.
"I cannot believe this! You weren't kidding."
"Of course I wasn't kidding Greg, why would I joke about something like that?"
"This is jus- this is despicable. I cannot believe you! Get inside young lady we are gonna have a LONG talk when we get home!" He dragged her inside and she waved at me which caused him to grab her other hand.
"Do NOT wave at him! I'm gonna deal with you later!" I smiled and shook my head at him. He is crazy. Sometimes I wonder why he's my best friend anyways. He's weird.

Blood Shaper
Kay didn't have the best life. Most of it was fairly standard, but his past was marred by a tragedy that changed his entire world. Years later he had managed to mostly rebuild his life, and had started making something of himself. And then he woke up in a different world. A world of fantasy and [Classes], a world much more dangerous than the one he'd been born in. The new world he's been dumped into doesn't hold anyone's hand. Even with the bonuses that being an Outworlder brings won't keep him perfectly safe. One mistake could kill him in an instant. But maybe, with a little bit of help, he could start over once more, and start to make something of himself again. And maybe, just maybe, that something he makes himself into could be amazing. And bloody. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] (We'll see how I do) ****** As I'm leaning right now there probably will be sexual content later on, but I might change my mind later. There definitely will be death, gore, violence, and blood. Lots and lots of blood.
8 552Old Version - The First Magician
INDEFINITE HIATUS I always seem to make these too long when I ask for peoples opinions so I’m not gonna try an exciting description anymore but instead just give you an idea of what to expect. First off, this is my 2nd attempt at a story but my foundation for this one is much better than the 1st already and I see this going much further and so far its coming together much faster and easier. So please excuse me if things are not up to publishing standards. Also I tend to confuse your, you’re and so on so sorry to people that triggers ahead of time. The First Magician follows the story of 15 year old Alex in a post apocalyptic rpg-ish world in the near future. Earth was transformed, monsters appeared and people began being able to use Ki but could not figure out how to use magic. Alex ends up becoming the first human able to use magic through a series of events and sets in motion events that will change the very future of the human race. He will be somewhat OP simply because he is the only human (at least to start, who knows about later?) who is able to use mana. Many classic RPG elements have been removed. I didn’t want the story to be like all of the other lit rpg stories on RRL but it also makes the writing easier for me hence the watering down of rpg elements. UPDATES: I am doing this to relieve stress and for fun so I will release chapters when I can. So far though ive managed to keep up with 2 most days. CONTENT WARNINGS: There will be some light language but it won't be insane. I might have some gore later on but am unsure and the same for the sexual content. Sexual content isn't super likely as I doubt I can write it well but I put the tag so people cant yell about it if I add some in the future but forgot to add the tag. COVER ART: Yes it is from the anime Log Horizon. It is a good representation of what earth looks like despite it not being many years in the future. DISCORD: https://discord.gg/s6V3hGV
8 129Exhuman
If superpowers appeared today, what might the future look like? In a future which has endured nuclear wars, people rarely wake up one day with supernatural powers, transforming an innocent life into a walking apocalypse. Shunned and feared, these Exhumans are often violent, ever misunderstood, and always dangerous. In this world unfolds the dark story of Athan Ashton, an 18-year old with a football scholarship who wakes up to find himself a lightning-powered Exhuman. Following a failed imprisonment and execution, he is exiled to the wilds, ostracized from all he’s even known. Like most, Athan never questioned society's view of Exhumans, buying the public line that they are selfish and a danger, fit only to be reported and dispatched. But living on the other side, Athan begins to discover why Exhumans go bad, and begins the impossible task of becoming more than just his powers. Athan is dedicated to use his Exhumanity only for good, but is that enough to survive in a world where his very existence is a crime? Release schedule: Exhuman updates five times weekly: Exhuman is finished! After 500 chapters, it's come to an end. Thank you for your support through the years that this story ran! More Exhuman: There are over 100 chapters currently posted at my Wordpress site! If you're looking for more, there's plenty of it! Please consider donating at my Patreon if you like Exhuman. I write full-time and can only do so through your generous support. Thank you!
8 319A Tyrant: Unshackled
A man once lived in a modern world, surrounded by the tragedy of humans, he was despaired. He did his best to ignore it. Did his best to hide in the safety of his own circumstances. But eventually the tragedy reached him. And when it did... it left a broken man, who was tired of the world and it's circumstances. He took things into his own hands. He would change the world. But this story isn't about that. For after all was done, the man dying peacefully on his own terms, he would have a new life ahead of him. Now unbound by attatchments and responsibility, in a completely new world for him to explore, he would make sure his new life didn't end up like the last one. This fiction won't be updated regularly due to my own circumstances and while I will try to update it often, I won't always be able to. That being said I hope you enjoy this little work of mine. I'm not an experienced, and don't consider myself a good author in any way. But hopefully some people will enjoy this fiction like I do writing it, regardless of that.
8 71McShot's Crazy House: Many Stories in One Setting, It's an Anthology!
*This is my first time attempting to author on Royal Road and as such I cannot find a true series to write. Due to this, I will occasionally produce one shots or add on to existing one shots on this page. As such, do not believe too much of what I marked in the genre boxes. I will try and update as much as once a week but I procrastinate things like crazy so start out by hoping for by-weekly updates first.Welcome to McShot's Crazy House! I am Mr. McShot, the lord of this incredible house you are now residing in. In each door resides a different world with a different story. Of course, looking inside for too long may hurt your eyes so I will limit the amount of exposure. Plus there is food and magic aplenty. May there be something to your liking.
