hi :/
i recommend you listen to the song
-
nothing could stop me from my current actions.
tears spill out of my eyes as i grab the nearest suitcase, shoving all of my clothes into it.
i don't bother taking everything considering i'll probably come back later and get it.
i should've known.
i should've known.
i should've known.
i should've know better than to fall in love with him.
it was all a mistake.
the tears are coming out faster and i grab a smaller bag, packing my necessities.
i don't bother sending a text to austin.
i've purchased an air bnb that i'll stay out for now, because currently i don't know what's happening.
i sniffle, wiping the tears away.
i guess we're breaking up.
the tears come out harder and faster as i think about it.
jesus i love him.
and he hurt me.
i will admit, the article probably exaggerated things to an extent.
but i didn't miss the part where it said she was leaning close and whispering in his ear, all while constantly smiling.
after packing up my belongings i stomp down the stairs, heading to the foyer to grab keys to the car.
it seems like everything has been timed so perfectly because in comes austin, he walks in the front door and runs his hands through his hair.
i don't think he's noticed me yet but when he looks up i know he has.
i know he sees my red eyes and puffy cheeks.
my swollen lips and messy hair.
i sniffle and he steps forward, frowning.
"baby what's wrong?" he asks and i scoff.
the audacity.
"no don't baby me right now austin." i spit out.
he stops dead in his tracks, "what did you hear?"
i stop breathing all in all and i let a sob escape,

so he's not denying it?
"that you and vanessa were out on a little date." i say and his mouth opens but nothing comes out.
"no baby no it wasn't like tha-"
"austin i don't have time for your shit, i'm leaving." i say and i reach over to where he placed the keys, grabbing them.
i pick my bags off the floor and i walk out of the front door that was left wide open, not even bothering to say goodbye or anything.
i stomp all the way down the steps and towards the car where i just toss my bags in the back seat.
the engine comes to life and as i turn around to reverse out of the driveway austin is standing in the doorway.
he's obviously crying and my heart almost breaks but then i remember the current situation.
looking away, i pull out of the driveway and i head in the directions of the airbnb, all while sobbing uncontrollably.
while in the midst of summer traffic, i press his contact on messages and i mute it, not wanting to deal with his shit right now.
when i arrive at the airbnb i place my bags on the small bed and i fall down, sobbing into the clean pillow.
it doesn't smell like him.
i had gotten used to his scent all over my sheets and when i inhaled, now all i smell is fresh cotton.
standing up, i head towards what i think is the bathroom to take a shower.
i start the water and i begin to undress.
why me?
my heart physically hurts, and i get into the shower.
i drench my hair but i have absolute no energy to do anything so i just sit down on the cold shower floor, hugging my body.

i let my head rest on my knees as the hot water cascades down my body.
the sobs turn into whimpers and soon i'm pretty sure i'm out of tears.
standing up, i turn off the water and i grab the nearest towel, drying my body off.
i look at myself in the mirror and my face is still red, but the tears and snot have washed away.
my phone that's on the counter buzzes with its hundredth notification of the hour and it's a text from my dad.
unfortunately my face id unlocks the phone so i have to read it.

❤️
-
his text brings a smile to my face but i don't have the energy in me to reply.
i walk into the bedroom where i set my phone on the dresser, and i brush my hair.
millions of things are running through my mind right now.
but one question sticks out particularly.
what is austin doing right now?
i scoff, he's probably with his darling ex vanessa.
i don't stop myself from what i'm about to do.
-
hours after the article about vanessa hudgens and austin butlers date had been published, althea girard had deleted almost every photo of her and austin.
almost like they're relationship never even existed, she doesn't even follow him or his sister anymore.
but he still follows her, so does he know?
or does he just not care?
stay tuned for more at celeb gossip!

sorry two short chapters for the day but i didn't like the fact i left you guys on a small cliffhanger.

Dungeon's Path
The only places I have posted the story and allow it to exist are on RoyalRoad, Scribblehub, and my Patreon. So the world ended. Whoopsie? We didn’t even see it coming. Quite literally as it came at us faster than the speed of light. Don’t worry though, it got better. Also, I am not joking about the world ending. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced for some reason. Nope, all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale there for a few moments. Apparently the local universe wasn’t actually stable? Don’t ask me to go into too much detail. It would require both of us to have a few more college degrees than sense, and I at least lack them (both the degrees and the sense). Anyway, the energy/matter/wibbly wobbly strings were at a local minimum and not the universal minimum. Basically, what we took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake and when the dam busted so did, well, everything. Now here is where things go a bit off track with what normal meant before. You see magic is real, qi is real, gods are real. Not on old Earth mind you but souls pay little attention to time and space so we dreamed of it. In fact, the closer the shift in reality got to Earth, the closer our dreams got to the new reality. This is basically me tip toeing around the fact that it was a ‘System Apocalypse’. Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, and this is my story. Doyle Huxley just wanted a normal life but as the above might clue you in on that just isn’t in the cards. He gets to experience a “Path Based System Apocalypse” and some early paths he takes, both literally and figuratively, lead to him becoming a dungeon. The aim is to release chapters once a week on Friday. Cursing will be avoided and no naughty adult action will take place in the story.

Permanight (Hiatus)
The world of Mecc has fallen into permanent night. Monsters roam the countryside, the sun refuses to rise, and towns and cities alike are falling into disarray. Their only hope is the ancient prophecy, which says a hero of light will emerge to save humanity in their darkest hour... 20 years from now. Too little, too late for those living now. In the midst of the the apocalypse, college student Oscar McAllister finds himself out of a job and out of luck. After accidentally ending up slaying a daemon on his way to get the groceries however, Oscar is haplessly drawn into the world of adventuring and questing, and with the old world falling apart - Oscar becomes one of the many tasked with trying to hold everything together. As he fights however, he is forced to face not just the evil that lurks in the shadows: but the indifference that lurks in people’s hearts. The world is playing a waiting game with human lives, and Oscar is caught right in the middle of it. Note: This is a dark LitRPG story, with dungeons, levelling, and quests in a contemporary setting. Permanight is currently on hiatus while I prepare a rewrite based on the current feedback I've recieved. I'm sorry for the bad news, but I want to bring the world to life in a way that feels real, and at the moment - I'm not entirely convinced that I'm doing that.
