《Till I Die (Chris and Crawford Collins)》Chapter: 14
Advertisement
"Zoey?" I questioned, trying to come up with names for my newly received puppy.
"Okay, I like that" Crawf said.
"Okay so her full name will be, Zoey Marie Parker-Collins"
"Katy your naming a dog, not a child"
"Shut up"
He put up his hands in defence.
I was just to happy I finally got a puppy, I've been wanting one forever. My parents would never let me get one.
Crawford and I probably spent almost an hour trying to name the dog, but we finally decided on a name.
My parents where still doing whatever and Crawf was still at my house just hanging out. I have yet to check the text from Chris. I'm just enjoying the time here with Crawf I don't want nothing to ruin it.
I was just laying on the floor, playing with Zoey. Occasionally bugging Crawf, that I'm bored. Crawford was laying on my bed, just on his phone doing nothing.
I heard my phone ring, but I was too lazy to get it. It was on my bedside table.
"Crawf can you get that"
"Yeah sure"
"Katy, again I'm really sorry! Please answer me, we can make this work" he read out.
I was confused, but soon it hit me...Chris.
I took a glance at Crawf, and saw that his expression wasn't exactly happy. I knew it was a stupid question, but I don't know what else to stay.
"What's wrong" I asked
"Really Katy? what's this thing with Chris..what can y'all make work"
"Crawf it's nothing okay, I'm just not talking to him right now, I'm still mad at him for being a total douche to me"
"Well it doesn't seem that way"
"I haven't talked to him all day, you would've known you've been here the whole time."

"Whatever"
"I can't believe you don't believe me, go ask Chris"
I instantly regretted saying that. I just brought Chris into this more. And it probably didn't help my case at all. I just can't believe that Crawford doesn't trust me. He has for the longest time, I don't know what changed. Through all of this I was trying to be calm and not start anything, but Crawford just kept asking questions, and didn't believe a word I was saying. I was so feed up at this point. I just decided I was going to ignore him, until he apologized.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hours later I was just sitting on my bed, still ignoring Crawf. I'm pretty sure he got the hint, I wasn't talking to him. But now he's trying to get me to talk.
"Please Katy" he said once again.
He was down on his knees, begging. It was pretty funny, but I had to keep in the urge to laugh, and stay serious.
I turned the other way ignoring him, I guess it's just a game now, I don't know how long I'll be able to hold.
A few short seconds later he was at the other side on my bed. He gave me pleading puppy dog eyes.
"You know I hate you right"
"Aw that's the sweetest thing you've ever said to me"
"It's the only thing I've ever said to you" I told him laughing.
I thought that bringing anything Chris related up was not going to happen, but that's exactly the first thing he brought up.
I didn't say anything, just sat there petting Zoey. I didn't think I'd had to say anything. It was a stupid question to begin with, and out of everyone Crawford should and would know that.
"Think about that question" was all I said, it was all that I needed to say.

I left him in my room to think about it and went downstairs, and got a snack and something to drink. I sat on the couch, turned on the tv and went scrolling through my phone and checked my messages.
I read all these sorry texts from Chris all written in different ways, but all meaning the same thing, 'I'm sorry'.
I knew for a fact that Crawf would be in my room for a while, so I just left. Not heading to anywhere specific. Just a drive to get my mind off things I guess.
I went to the store my parents would most likely be at. When I got there I saw someone I knew...let's just say they weren't my parents.

Domain of Man
Isolation is terrible. To feel isolated with your fellow man around you is worse. What if you were dumped in some backwards cave somewhere, completely nude, maybe with your family, or even completely alone? The age of pioneers, heroes, generals, and geniuses is long gone. Humankind has become numb to the world around it because of how paltry everything else is compared to the glory of its history, the sheer volume of their accomplishments, and the sum of its innovations. You can interact with people across the world, travel miles in mere hours, and never prepare your own food or shelter, and it's all accessible to even the normalest of individuals. Artificial intelligence is within arms reach in devices and computers and even houses, and neural interfaces aren't exclusive to the rich and powerful at this point. Someone far in the distance took notice of Earth, saw the multitude of hairless apes swarming its surface. That one went down the checklist to see if humanity had, in fact, beaten the 'game' of Life. Sure enough, they had gone above and beyond the requirements, but nobody had been watching. 'Why might that be?', that one wondered. Protocol was protocol, though, no matter how strange the situation was. They pulled the lever, they flipped the switch. It's time for New Game +. ??? Don't be afraid to leave critique or share your support! I really appreciate any feedback you can give. In any case, I sincerely hope you enjoy the story! It's going to be a wild ride.

These, along with his personal status, make him desired by many. After a young Lyle begins a relationship with one Sophia Alderton, two years pass by. Then a lack of trust coupled with a certain misunderstanding leave the two estranged and left on a sour note. But Lyle even still retains his friendship with Cecelia, Sophia's sister. With Cecelia, his loving sister Iris and Melanie--A young woman who recieved his aid some time ago--Lyle is content to pass the days in peace and idleness. Well, when he's not completing harsh missions from his combat instructor, that is. But this peace is ruined when Lyle's father tells of a mysterious group hell-bent on causing war between the human and demon continents. Later, when his father involves him and his sister in an incident resulting in Iris being put in mortal danger, Lyle makes a decision which could very well cost him not his life... but instead his soul. His status, his loved ones, his dignity as a human being... All these may soon be lost. His life isn't his own. Not anymore. He can only brace himself for the things to come and hope he makes it out with his sanity intact. ******************* EDIT- Author Note: Another thing, the cover photo is not mine. Obviously. It's just a picture I found one day at DeviantArt and thought that the two shown in the picture looked like how I imagined Lyle and another character to be. Simply put, it was convenient in various way and I also loved the art. From my understanding is is from a collaboration between artists Chocobikies and Pinlin. Here is a link to where I found the original http://pinlin.deviantart.com/art/Linked-456655669

A cataclysm occurred in the world, which rolled back its development for many centuries. The power in it returned to the church, because otherwise, as the "2nd coming", the event that destroyed the earth, cannot be called. A big war is brewing, humanity has already mastered all places suitable for life, and the rulers are trying to expand their possessions at the expense of others. Our hero, Marzio, lives in one of the free Italian towns. He is the bastard of a major feudal lord who made his name in the war. His mother, despite her righteous lifestyle, practices quackery. For which one day, on an unremarkable and ordinary day, she is sentenced to death. Seeing the burning of his own mother and losing faith in people, Marzio begins his journey. Thanks to the connections of his small family, he escapes from the city and, together with a trade caravan, moves to another city, where he plans to enter the academy and become stronger. Along the way, he contacts people who call themselves "diggers" - plunderers. So, he finds himself in the ruins of the old world, which was much more developed and finds more and more evidence of the terrible secret of the true cause of the fall of the world, which the church so zealously hides. But the second coming gave not only the suffering and wrath of God, but also monsters from mutated animals. In a fight with them, he falls into the eyes of the detachment of the sacred order, after which they, having estimated its potential, take it to themselves and, with their patronage, he enters the academy. At the academy, he meets new friends, and his origin is revealed there. Since he is the only male descendant, he can claim the title and possession of his father.
