Chapter Seventeen
Addison
I couldn't believe it. Lena and Kara were both leaving and Chris was already gone. Mum was is the hospital in a coma and dad was god knows where.
I didn't know what to do.
"You guys are actually leaving?" I asked.
"Yeah" they muttered.
"When?"
"Uhhh" Kara scratched the back of her head "tomorrow"
I had no words. None. My best friends were leaving for school on different continents and they didn't bother to tell me?!?!
"Why didn't you guys tell me?!" I demanded.
"Well we knew that you wanted to spend all of your time with Chris because...you know. And we didn't know how! So we figured that it would be easier to tell you and not have to see your reaction to it" Kara said, her eyes welling with tears.
"Well at least if you would've said something earlier, we would've been able to spend some extra girl time together. Instead, I've been totally oblivious and you guys have been avoiding me!!" I screamed. I was upset.
"We know. It was a really stupid move and we regret it now. We're sorry" Lena said occasionally looking over at Kara.
"I think we should go Lena" Kara said.
"Goodbye Nicole" they said. And they each took turns giving me a hug.
"Thanks for being my best friends" I smiled, tears running down my face.
"Our pleasure" they smiled.
I stood at my front door and waved, wiping my tears away.
I closed the door and sank to the floor, again.
Except this time, I cried all day and onto the night.
They were all gone. Which meant I was all....... Alone.
No, I wasn't.
And one name came to my head.
Addison.
I decided to text her because Chris had kind of introduced us in a way.

Me: hey Addison. It's Nicole. Life just got real complicated and I know this sounds weird but you're pretty much all I've got now :) wanna come over? I could use a friend
Less than ten minutes later, I got a response.
Addison: hey! I'd love to come over! I'll be there in twenty alright? Hang in there! Xx
Me: thanks. I'll try ;)
Exactly twenty minutes later, Addison knocked on the front door.
I opened the door and saw a concerned looking Addison holding 2 pints of Ben and Jerry's.
"I didn't know what you were going through but ice cream makes EVERYTHING better" she smiled and pulled me in for a hug.
I told her about everything that was happening. Lena and Kara, mum, and even Chris. She said that she couldn't wait to be my sister and she knew it was going to happen because of the way I talked about him. She said that my eyes lit up and even though I was really upset, talking about him made me feel better.
We stayed on the topic of Chris and she was talking about how much she regrets not seeing him for three years.
The night went away with the both of us holding each other while we cried.
She was the only one who really knew what I was going through.
And I loved her like a sister.

Jack and Jill Conquer the Shattered World
There are our bad friends. Friends who serve to bring the worst out of us. There are our good friends. Friends who inspire us to greater heights, support us, and sometimes act as an example for us. Then there are our good, bad, friends. The ones who get us out of trouble as often as they get us into it. The ones who are with you when you accumulate those stories that you’re probably better off never telling in public...for legal reasons. For Jilbert Sebastian, Jacqueline Marrow was all three at once. Kind, Brave, Hardworking, Loyal, Arrogant, Selfish, Impetuous, Glory Hungry, and the farthest thing in the world from risk-averse, Jack Marrow seemed bound to either be the hero or villain, or her own legend. Now it seems that young “Jill” is fated to be along for the ride. Bound to look after, and act as an accomplice to, the young runaway heiress as she sets off to find her fortunes and make her mark in the world. Fortunately, or unfortunately, it’s looking like he might not mind the situation as much as he claims. They’re best friends after all...and maybe a little bit more. Thus begins the tale of the legendary Empty Archivist Society. *Posted Weekly On Scribblehub, Royalroad, and My Patreon*

Living With Magic
Arthur, a young magician, is struggling with crippling social anxiety. The issue has reached a point where he likely won't graduate from University. Reaching a crossroads, he must decide whether to try and return to a family he despises or make his own path in the world. Is the magical power he has actually beneficial in the real world? Authors Note: I'm terrible at writing a synopsis, but over time I hope to write a better one. One of my favorite series of books is the Magicians by Lev Grossman and I hope to follow that same line of thinking within my story. How would a society built around magic actually exist and is power and magic actually as great as other stories make it out to be? The story and characters will be completely original and I will try to update the story on a regular basis. Also, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

But yes they are the ‘bad guys’ of the story it’s also probably important to note that for the time being it’s going to be written on my phone then edit later when I have the time and feel like it but you should probably think of whats here as a draft until further notice. )
