《More than rubies [D. Alli x E. Dier]》Chapter 15
Advertisement
I was happy and laughed, until I saw Eric.
"You're really happy with your girlfriend, eh?" he asked.
"It's fine, I guess."
He smiled at me.
"That sounds great."
I mean, I was happy, that Ruby and I were cool with faking a relationship on both sides, but still: I wasn't with Eric, so what did that mean to me?
I began to drink every evening. On September 22nd I drowned my feelings in alcohol, as so often.
"One more shot, please.", I asked the bartender.
He knew me, by now and refused to give me more.
"Fuckkkkk youuu. I hate you. I'll go home now!"
So I walked to my car, sloppy, drunk and tired.
I couldn't even see clear and so was my driving.
Quite bad.
One second I didn't pay attention, or didn't see it, but there was a tree and I directly crushed into it.
I had tried to grab the steering wheel and turn the car, but it was too late.
The ambulance was called and the medics tore me out of it.
Fortunately they came on time, because thirty seconds later the care exploded dramtically.
But my conditions were dramatic as well.
I lost more and more blood and the ambulance tried hardest to keep me alive.
*Eric's point of view*
At two o'clock my phone rang. It was... Dele's mum?
"Mrs. Alli? What's up, why are you calling me at 2 o'clock in the mor-ning?"
She was panting heavily and sobbing.
"...Come to the hospital, quickly. Dele... He...", she had a break-down.
"Oh, fuck.", I thought and immediately put on sweat pants and a jacket and then raced down the stairs.
I didn't care if someone was woken up.
My best friend was in danger and the other would understand that.

Dele was their friend, too.
I jumped into my car and drove very fast, to the nearest hospital.
I parked my car and walked quickly to the reception.
"My...", I took a deep breath. "My friend... Dele Alli. Where is he? Is he alright? What happened? Can I see him?"
The nurse shook her head. "You're not related to him. You can not see him now."
I was upset.
"And Mrs. Alli? Can I see her? Is she alright?"
The nurse shook her head.
"You're not related, so it doesn't matter."
"We're engaged. Is that enough?"
The nurse was suprised.
"Well, then I guess you can at least see Mrs. Alli. Mr. Alli has surgery at the moment."
"Fuck.", I muttered.
"Will he get through?"
"We don't know. Mrs. Alli is on the second floor, room twelve, at the moment."
I hurried to that room and ripped the door open.
"Mrs. Alli! Are you okay? Is Dele okay?"
She was crying a lot. Ruby was there, too.
"I told them, I was his sister.", she explained.
Ruby was comforting the crying mother.
I was confused.
"Why didn't you just tell them, that you're his girlfriend?"
"We're not together." Another shock hit me.
"What? Why? You two seemed so happy!"
She rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, so happy. Happy and depressed at the same time?"
That comment made Dele's mum cry even more.
"No..."
A nurse came in.
"Mrs. Alli? Are you alright?"
Mrs. Alli answered: "It's fine. Do you have any information about my son?", she asked and sobbed.
"Mr. Alli still is having surgery. We don't know anything new yet..."
Mrs. Alli broke down again. "My Dele! God.... Oh no...", she cried.

"There, there.", Ruby patted her back.
"Mrs. Alli, you need to calm down a bit... Your body will not be able to keep up such a hysterical behaviour. Wait, please. I'll talk to the doctor."
The nurse left the room.
"Mrs. Alli?" I didn't know why I said the following sentence.
"Everything is gonna be fine. Dele will be fine."
I had a certain feeling in my guts, which told me, that everything was going to be okay.
"Oh, Eric. Be realistic..."
One moment later the nurse came back with some pills.
"Please, Mrs. Alli. Take these."
Ruby squeezed Mrs. Alli's hand.
"Please. It's good for you." I nodded.
"Just two tiny pills..."
She sighed and swallowed them, only to continue her agonistic cries about her son.
Relatable.
In the next minutes Ruby and I were able to noticed how she calmed down and slowly faded away, into sleep.
I smiled.
"That's good for her... Resting a bit."
Ruby nodded.
"I really hope, with all my heart, that Dele will make it."
I gulped.

Reaching for One's Desire: Kane's Ascension
After living most of his life as a worthless orphan, Michael Kane only desired for the chance to make something of himself in this world of monsters and magic. In a world where only wealth and power mattered, he was literally at the bottom of the food chain. He fucking hated it. Always having felt that he was destined for something greater than what was essentially a beggar’s life, Michael held hope that things would change with the arrival of the Day of Gaia’s Gift, which happened exactly halfway through the year. It was the day in which everyone that was fifteen years old was given access to the System and was given a ‘Class’ depending on your aptitude, two if you were exceptional and lucky. It was his hope that he was given at least one class worthy of becoming an Adventurer, which would help him start his path to a life of wealth, fame, luxury and pleasure. Being an orphan that never knew his parents and having no one that he cared for nor that cared for him, it was not surprising that these were Michael’s goals. Little does he know, that he is destined for even greater things.

MIRACLE CHILD: SLASH THE GODS [DxD UNIVERSE] . (MATURE CONTENT)
A world where all myth clash. Three great factions vying for supremacy. A multitude of power eyeing them from the shadow. In this world, à child was born. One so rare that his kind was basically unseen. Bestowed with a name synonymous with death, known as the uncrowned king of the church, what kind of storm will this child bring? Follow our hero as he visits the world and brings change to the society. Disclaimer: The DxD franchise does not belong to me. I am just a fan trying to bring an alternative story to a novel I like. The cover picture doesn't belong to me either. Note: This story will be mainly in the Slashdog part which is part of the DxD universe but set 4 four years prior to the event of DxD. Also, DxD is a light novel with 25 volumes + side volumes and a sequel with already 3 volumes called Shin Highschool DxD. Only the first ten volumes and some side stories have been adapted in Anime. As such many terms and characters, I use may be unknown. But don't worry I will do my best so that everyone can follow. NOTE 2: I AM currently writing another fanfic called THE TRIALS: PATH TOWARD GODHOOD. Try it. The mc is different in personality but I hope you'll like it nonetheless.
