《Hold on to me - Leonardo dicaprio》'how are you lonely?'
Advertisement
"So what movie do you wanna watch?" I ask Brooklyn handing her the remote.
"After?" She asks, looking at the tv, scrolling through Netflix.
"Sure."
She put on the movie and cuddles up to Tobey.
Why can't I be like that with someone? Leo stares "you okay Jordan?" He asks.
"Yeah I'm fine. Why'd you ask?" I stop looking at Brooklyn and Tobey and look directly at Leo.
"You just look quite sad."
"Not sad...just lonely." I say jokingly.
I'm not joking though...
Leo laughs a little. "Lonely?" Leo's eyebrows furrow.
"Yeah." I sigh, pulling the blanket more on to my body.
"How are you lonely?"
"How am I not? Everyone has , someone who cares for them. Someone who they care for. Someone to love, trust and spend time with. I wish I had that... I really do." I sigh again.
"Well it's not always like that Jordan. You know that?" He questions with a dull face.
"No, I know that. It just gets to me sometimes." I turn my head and look at Tobey and Brooklyn cuddled up to each other, getting lost in the movie. I don't think they know, nor care what our conversation is about.
I turn to look look at Leo "look at how happy the two of them are." I pout.
Leo doesn't say anything. Instead he buries his head into my cheats with my head on top of his, with his arms around my waist. I'm getting a fluttery feeling in my stomach. I think there butterflies? But don't you only get them if you have...feelings for someone? I'm not sure what I feel. I have never felt this way before. I feel safe when I'm around him. I have to ask Brooklyn how to know, because If I really do like him I should feel something, and I do.

The movie has finished. I think Tobey and Brooklyn want to go. I try and get up to look for the remote but Leo doesn't leave my lap. He's asleep.
"Brooklyn can you please turn off the tv. I can't move." I ask her while pointing at Leo, not wanting to wake him. She nods and does as I ask. "Thank you." I whisper.
Tobey stands up from the couch, stretching. He starts laughing when he looks at the way Leo is positioned. "Shhh!" I say which makes him quiet down.
"I think me and Brooklyn should leave." Tobey yawns and looks at Brooklyn.
"Yeah you look tired. And well, we don't want to wake Leo." Brooklyn states.
"Yeah okay. Bye guys." I can't hug them or anything. Leo's right on top of me.
They quietly leave the house which now leaves me and Leo alone...again. I probably should leave myself but I don't know. I'm worried for him. I carefully try to move, trying not to wake Leo. But fuck! It didn't work.
"Jordan?" He glares at me, he has such puffy eyes and his hairs all messed up. I love it.
"Yes?" I smile. He slowly lifts himself up, sitting next to me on the couch.
"Where are the others?" He asks.
"They just left. I uhh, probably should too." I start to stand up. Leo pulls my arm gently, causing my body to fall next to his again.
"Stay...please?" He asks.
"Of course." I give him a comforting smile. He nods then takes my hand, lifting me up then leading me to his bedroom. Once we reach his room he opens the door.
"You first." He grins. I make my way in.

Wow, I know it's only a bedroom but it's so cool. It's not just like any other teenage boys bedroom, it's much different I think. He has cool posters, of what it looks like his favourite movies? He also has pictures of him and his basketball team. That is so cute if you ask me. There's loads of trophies. Wow, he really is good at it!
This ones cool... I go to pick up a shiny golden basketball trophy but another pair of hands reach it before me.
"I see your looking at the collection I have?" He smirks.
"Y-yeah, you have so many of these."
"What can I say, that just proves I'm not all that bad at it."

Journey West 5000
With her parents murdered and her brother abducted, a trainee Monk of the Gun pursues the one responsible, the Bull Demon King, undefeated Warlord of the Crimson Army.Struggling to track down her enemy while braving the dangers of the wilds, she enlists the help of Sun Wukong, but 500 years under a mountain have taken its toll. Unstable and weakened, will he be more hindrance than help? Can he become the warrior he once was?A Monk and a Monkey journey across a world...... where the remnants of technology are seen as magic, while pockets of humanity strive to drag themselves out of ignorance.... where the descendants of animal-human hybrids, once created as instruments of war, now seek to dominate the world as demons.... where beings who call themselves Immortals and Gods preoccupy themselves with selfish pastimes, ignoring everything else. Among other things, a story about growth, grit, and being better than the person you were yesterday. Here's my rambling on why I'm writing Journey West 5000. Journey West 5000 is my crazy ambitious writing project to adapt a classic epic called "Journey to the West" for a global, modern audience. It's a sci-fi story disguised as fantasy, and has some road trip + monster of the week elements (as does the original Journey to the West). No system, definitely no harem, gradual power progression. Hmm, what else can I put here so potential readers know what to expect? My writing style for now is mostly "show don't tell", because I believe that readers don't need to have everything pointed out to them, and that they should be allowed to make up their own minds about characters based on the actions of those characters. I'm also trying to be less long-winded (a weakness pointed out by some friends) in order to write according to something Neil Gaiman said, which is to write as though I'm the one who has to pay for every word, not the reader. This will bring down my chapter word counts, and might drive away potential readers, but I believe there's value in learning to compress and be concise. All chapters posted here will have been edited. Constructive criticism, comments, and feedback would be very much welcome and appreciated. Please, please help point out any typos or grammatical mistakes, I'm striving to minimize those as much as possible. Above all, I hope you enjoy my story.

Unwitting Champion
"In stories this is always easy. There's magic and powers, and quick steps to claiming that power for one's self. This doesn't feel true for me. I'm supposed to be a Champion, whatever that means, and yet I don't feel important. I don't have all the bells and whistles, which honestly feels familiar even in a new world. But what was I expecting? I haven't had the worst life - there are people with worse problems than mine - I've known what it is to struggle, to be pulled down instead of being helped up.This is nothing new."When in great peril, the Kingdom of Althor has no choice but to send a call into the void, beseeching the Fates to bring them a man who would save them from the coming darkness. Unfortunately the path the Fates chart is often unknowable to men and the Champion who appears is not what the kingdom expected.Unwitting Champion is a story of a guy displaced, dealing first and foremost with trying to survive in a world where he is no longer a person but a tool, and - at least from the reaction of those around him - a shoddy one at that. His major goal is to survive long enough that either he can run or find a way home, because as exciting as the possibility of learning magic might be, he would rather have a boring life than a short life.

Only a single member of their kind can exist at the same time, and all of them share the same soul.

Nashariel is the latest incarnation of this incredible being. Born in the city of Andriel, devoted to Astill the Goddess of Compassion, she is torn between the teachings she received and her draconic instincts that push her to fight more and more dangerous beings to return to her old glory.

There may or may not be a bonus one on Thursdays. 4- Have fun reading!
