Advertisement
i saw the way mattia looked at me and my heart immediately broke
mattia: what do you mean you... killed someone..?
devin: like you killed killed someone ?
i nod.
hollis: please elaborate
(i'm going to skip a line once a while to make it easier to read)
y/n: last year taylor and i were walking around town late at night and we ran into a drunk man. i mean i don't know if he was drunk or high or whatever but he wasn't making any sense.
he was hinting that he wanted sex but taylor and i refused and he pulled out a gun. we ran as fast as we could to my car and drive forward. i looked back for just a second because i thought he was chasing us but turns out he took a shortcut and ended up in front for us.
my car hit him hard and he never got up
flashback
taylor: what did you just do ??
y/n: i-i i thought he was behind us- i didn't know he was in front, i didn't see him (i stutter)
i get out of the car to check on him and he wasn't breathing.
taylor: you killed him (she says shockingly)
y/n: oh my god (i cover my mouth) what do we do?
taylor: okay uhm (she looks around to see if anyone was around) okay there's a camera over there.. i need go inside and delete the footage.
present
a few minutes later she came running back out while i was still standing over his body.
taylor told me to get in my car and drive but i couldn't just leave him there. when i get back into
my car i call 911 anonymously but by the time they got to scene, i was already gone.
the police think he died of an overdose and alcohol poisoning so they never really investigated further but i knew the truth. i was the one who took his life (i start crying more)

devin: it- it was an accident and plus he would've killed you
mattia: you didn't mean to
y/n: well the police aren't going to see it that way if taylor gives them the footage. that's why i have to do everything she says
my mind hasn't changed. i said i would do anything to protect her and i meant it. i just needed to figure out how to get rid of taylor.
y/n: do you guys hate me ?
mattia: no of course not
devin: baby i could never hate you
hollis: me neither y/n
felix: you're like family to me
she smiles a little bit
y/n: god it feels so good to finally tell you guys
-
y/n wanted to go home and sleep in her own bed so i take her home. when we get there we find out that her mom had already gone out of town for an emergency work thing. as much as i wanted to stay, i couldn't.
we didn't tell y/n this but devin, hollis, felix and i wanted to work together to find a way to get rid of taylor for good.
y/n: can you stay? i really don't wanna be alone
mattia: i can't i have to do something important but i'll send someone
y/n: who?
mattia: you'll see
i hug her tightly and whisper
mattia: i'm glad you told me
y/n: me too.
i kiss her on the cheek and get back into my car.
i take a shower to try and get rid of stench that came from my body. when i was done i hear the doorbell downstairs. i open the door
kairi: heyyyyy
y/n: oh you gotta be kidding me
ale: mattia said you needed company sooo
kairi: here we areeeee
i smile a little bit. their positivity was kinda contagious so i invite them in.

y/n: i really just need a nap right now, but make yourselves feel at home
ale: oh okay
kairi: we'll just be downstairs then
i head back upstairs and take my nap.
i drive back to felix's house and they're still in the living room.
hollis: okay so step 1 is to delete that video before we get rid of her.
mattia: and how will we do that ?
we all pause for a second to try and think until devin broke the silence
devin: oh i know! mattia you have to seduce her
mattia: what? oh hell no. hell no devin.
devin: hear me out. okay first you need to invite her to come over and while she's at your house.. hollis, felix and i will go into her hotel room and delete the footage from her laptop. boom
mattia: and why does it have to be me ?
devin: cuz she already slept with you before and she'd wanna do it again
hollis: you're right this can work
mattia: okay but i don't want to sleep with her
devin: felix can call and pretend to be the manager of the hotel and say there's an emergency in her room so she'll leave.
felix: i'm down. do we have her number ?
mattia: i think she put her number in my phone last time we .. slept together.
hollis: okay lets say all of this does work out, what do we do with her after ?
devin: leave that to me.
i wake up from nap a couple hours later and found alejandro and kairi downstairs making food.
ale: hey i hope you don't mind, we made spaghetti for the three of us
y/n: (i chuckle) it's okay i was in the mood for spaghetti anyway.
kairi: how was your nap
y/n: refreshing.
i grab three plates and we all put the amount of spaghetti we want and head to dining table.
the 3 of us just talked and talked and got to know each other really welll
kairi: you know what y/n, you're cool. i like you.
y/n: are you saying you didn't like me before
kairi: yup (he says jokingly)
ale: you guys wanna watch a movie?
y/n: sure
we walked to the couch and i turn on my tv. i sit in the middle while alejandro and kairi sit by my side. we all cuddle together and i'm not gonna lie i felt safe and happy. i can tell this was a beginning of a beautiful friendship.

The Unstoppable Ascension of Zu Mari, Time-Looper
Zu Mari will never be stopped! Zu Mari will ascend to the heavens! Zu Mari is a downtrodden cultivator without any hope of becoming powerful. OR SO HE THINKS! One day fate intervenes on his behalf to give him everything he'd ever dreamed of, ALL THE POWER HE SO RIGHTLY DESERVES! And then, finally, everything starts going his way. (Well... kind of.) [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] wooooo!! Let's do this! Just to clear up some misconceptions, this is not a parody and it is not a satire. Zu Mari does include over the top humor and exaggerations intended to amuse, but satire is a very specific thing which this is not. I certainly haven't read enough xianxia to properly satirize or parody them. It's just a silly project I'm writing for fun, with a meta story that makes me laugh. Expecting anything else will only end in disappointment.
