'Harry, wake up' I whisper. No response. 'Harry, wake up' I say, louder this time. Still no response. 'Harry, wake up! I practically shout, shaking him gently as I do so.
'Mmmmm. Sleep' Harry mumbles as he pulls the duvet over his face. 'Tired.'
'I don't care if you are tired, I have food.' I genuinely don't think I have ever seen anyone go from 'fuck off and let me sleep' to sitting up ready for food in a matter of about two seconds. 'Thought that would get your attention.
I climb back into bed next to Harry, unpacking the bag of food onto the bed.
***
I wake the next morning in my own bed, wrapped in my duvet like a burrito. I had the most amazing few days with Harry, but I have yet to say anything to him about how I feel. Nothing happened between the two of us, we just hung out.
I have a quick shower, get myself dressed and make myself a quick breakfast. I can hear Alex and George filming, so they clearly haven't slept yet. No way they would be up this early.
I head to the office and spend my day sorting orders, replying to emails and catching up on anything that I had missed. Just as I was heading out of the office door my phone pinged with a text.
Be at Cargo for 9pm. Night out, no chance you are getting out of it! C x
Thank you for the choice. I will be there x
Good! Prepare to get slaughtered missy! C x
***
Tugging my dress down at the back I make my way into the club, looking around for the boys. I see them tucked in a corner, so I grab myself a drink at the bar before joining them.

'I wouldn't bother with the pussy drinks missy, shots is all we are interested in' Freezy shouts in my ear as soon I reach them. He grabs a couple of shot glasses and bottle of vodka from the table, skilfully filling them before passing one to me.
'3..2..1..down!' Freezy yells. I throw the drink down my neck, feeling the vodka burn its way down. I barely slam the glass down on the table before another is thrust into my hand. Okay, I see how tonight is going!
'Jessica!' Suddenly Harry appears, slurring in my ear. I don't think I have ever seen Harry on a night out sober. Even at the start of the night! He pulls me in for a hug, nestling his face in the crook of my neck. 'Mmmm, you smell amazing' Harry murmurs against my skin. We pull away, barely letting go of each other before Freezy and Lux and slipping shot glasses into our hands.
Barely an hour passes before we reach the point that Freezy is lining up shot glasses all the way along either side of the table. 'First to finish or last one standing wins' he explains as he fills them with vodka. We must have gone through two bottles already between the six of us. Me, Harry, Freezy, Lux, JJ and Simon. 'Jess and Harry are up first!'
We both position ourselves either side of the table. I am not one to lose a challenge, certainly not when it comes to alcohol. There are ten shots lined up for each of us. I know Harry will finish all ten, so it will come down to timing.
'3..2..1.. GO!' Freezy shouts as I make a grab for my first. I throw it down my neck, slamming the glass on the table as I grab the next. I pay no attention to Harry and how he is doing, I just concentrating on getting the burning liquid down and moving to the next.
I slam my final glass on the table, throwing my arms in the air in celebration just as Harry does the same. No way did I just down ten shots in a matter of seconds just for it to be a draw! Fuck sake.

Breakout: What Did I Get Myself Into?
The world is normal, and I mean completely run of the mill. People do boring things all the time, like controlling wind, moving at mach speeds and becoming able to demolish a building in one punch after eating. What...that's not normal to you? This is a world where the abnormal happens every day, thanks to super powered mutants called "Pathos". Enter: Capital City: An infrastructure with constructed on the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan, the basis for a school system of which the goal was to educate the Pathos on controlling their power in a safe place while also protecting those without power from being harmed. If you graduate, you could even rule the City one day! ...Or you could just take advantage of the free student housing and perfect the art of being a shut-in... Join Reito Usodachi, a lax and jaded, but surprisingly strong 15 year old boy who's in way over his head, on his adventures in Capital City... The only problem is, he may falter a bit when he gets a grasp of how weird the people in the City actually are. Even though he's read his fair share of media and the like, no amount of reading Manga or playing games could've prepared him for this. Amateur writer here! Trying my best on my first Original English Light Novel! (On a short hiatus!)

Soul Core Online
Soul Core Online was a game that few people were interested in until after it was released, due to its odd way of handling character growth but this soon changed as people started to realise just how different this game was. Unlike many of its predecessors the NPCs in Soul Core Online acted in a way that was indistinguishable from real people and the world felt alive because of this instead of the empty and sterile cities we had come to expect, even walking down the street could give you insights to how these people lived. In my case this was the world that I had always wanted to visit and I soon found myself embroiled in the constantly changing world that is Soul Core Online. This story is currently only available here on Royal Road or on my Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/bkwrm196/posts?filters%5Btag%5D=Soul%20Core%20Online

Vacationing at his newly bought lake, Jake sits on his porch alone and watches as the world is ripped apart by some god-like being. This god-like being then decides that all descendants of the Gho Clan, still capable of cultivation, will be placed into a trial to test if they are worthy to return to the heavenly realm. Guess what, that inclueds Jake. Now, trapped alone in a cage made from a valley uprooted from Earth, Jake must learn to survive as everything is flooded with some energy he'd never seen nor imagined before; let's call it Qi. As everything changes, and the lines between fact and fiction blur, Jake will learn that his land, and by extension him, are far more important than anyone realizes.
