《Missing You (Jalex)》Part 7
Advertisement
Alex looked at me, frightened. Lisa sounded angry, and an angry bitch is not a good bitch. Alex slowly proceeded over to her, probably scared she was gonna rack him or something. Lisa grabbed him arm and dragged him out of the room, leaving me in my bed scared for Alex's health.
Who knew what that girl was gonna do to him.
After 15 minutes, Alex came back in looking like he had been crying. He Sat down, not looking at me.
"What happened?" I asked softly, not wanting to upset him more. He didn't say anything. He placed something small on my lap and when I looked at it, I saw that it was the ring. I picked it up and looked at it. It was really pretty, its huge diamond shimmering from the light next to me.
"It's o-"
"No it's not! Do you realize why she did this?" Alex yelled, cutting me off. I shook my head. "She thinks I'm in love with you and not her! She thinks that I'm fucking you behind her back! All of this is because of you Jack! You made the woman I love give me back the ring that was going to bind us together forever!" I shriveled down into my pillows, afraid to speak. He stood up and threw the chair.
"I hate you." He snarled, before walking out of the room, and a concerning looking Zack came in after him. I was already in tears, so Zack pretty much knew what had went down. He pulled up a chair and sat down next to me, pulling me into a hug.
We sat there for what seemed like forever because I couldn't stop the tears.
Zack and Rian stayed overnight, even with my protests. They didn't want to leave me. Rian and I brainstormed some ideas for songs while Zack stayed on his phone, texting away like a maniac. He was probably texting Mary, no doubt. This boy was gonna get himself hurt.

I was released from the hospital after a week, and it hurt like hell to walk. My legs wobbled, making me look like a newborn baby deer, and Zack ended up carrying me to the car. We got a hotel room so I could get used to being out of the hospital and my new knee.

"Where's Alex?" I asked. It had been a week since we saw him, and we couldn't leave without him. Can't be All Time Low without the lead singer. I mean, Zack could fill in for him, but i don't think the fans would be happy.
"Probably drinking somewhere. We'll see him sooner or later." Rian said, not looking up from his phone.
"We need him sooner rather than later. We need to get back on tour." I stated, grabbing his phone from him. He looked at me, obviously frustrated.
"Look, you need to continue to rest. Alex needs a break as well. there's a lot of stress going on for Alex between you, Lisa, and the tour. You both deserve the breaks you're being given." I sighed and threw his phone at him. I grabbed my crutches and started for the door.
"Where are you going?"
"To find someone who cares." I slammed the door shut with the strength I had, and began looking for Zack. I couldn't drive myself, so he wa the next person I could go to.
It was ridiculous how much I still cared for Alex, even after everything he's done to me. He's tore my heart out of my chest, ripped it to shreds, and stuck what left of it there was back inside my chest. On top of that he jacked up my knee even more. He's hurting me. He's been hurting me, even when we were dating. He would sometimes pretend like I didn't exist. It would go on like that for a couple of days, and he eventually came back to me drunk, saying he loved me. I loved him so much, so so much. I would be perfectly fine with him coming back. I would welcome him with open arms. But not anymore. I can't handle it. No, I won't handle it. I've been hurt too much by this man. I'm not going to be anymore.

A tear slipped down my cheek, and soon my vision was blurred by millions of tiny water droplets. I tried to stop moving so I could wipe my tears and ended up tripping on my left crutch. I landed on the floor hard, and I couldn't catch my breath. Pain erupted through out my leg, and that added onto all the pain I was feeling already. The tears were rolling down my cheeks and into my ears, but I couldn't move. I was pathetic. A pathetic waste of space.
Why was I still here? Nobody wants me anymore.
I'm not worthy of living anymore.
I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling.
"Pathetic." I whispered. My phone buzzed and I grabbed it out of my jacket pocket.
"Hello?" I mumbled, trying to calm myself. It wasn't working.
"Jack where are you? Are you okay? Rian said you had left the room." Zack's voice yelled through the tiny speaker.
"I'm on the floor."
"Jack, Jesus! Are you on our floor?"
"I don't know anymore."
"Okay, just stay there I'm coming to get you. I'm in the lobby. Just, stop crying." Zack sounded frantic. I probably scared him to death.
It's not like he should care. I'm a waste of human life. Alex knows it, Rian knows it. Why can't Zack see it?
I was laying on the floor for about five more minutes before Zack ran up to me and got me up.
"Are you okay?" He kept asking over and over again. He sat me up against the wall and squared down in front of me. "How many fingers am I holding up?"
"Five."
"Oh thank god. No concussion. What were you thinking?!"
"I went to go find you so we could go find Alex, but I lost my crutch and I fell." I lied. I wasn't gonna tell him I was crying over Alex and I tripped like an idiot.
"Alex is fine. I just went to see him. He's at the Waffle House right now." Zack sat down next to me. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah."
"Jack."
"I said I'm fine." I yelled. Zack flinched a bit at me yelling.
"I'm sorry." he mumbled quietly.
Yeah, I'm sorry too.

A Sinner's Eden
The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but not all things are well. The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die. Motivated by revenge, Magnus sets out on a quest to bring his own justice to his enemies. For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate. Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she? ——————————————————————————————— I am trying to go with a survival/medieval setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on medieval technology where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic. ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.
