《Pipe Dream || Timothée Chalamet》12
Advertisement
My eyes focus on the ceiling above me. It's currently 3AM and my brain won't shut up.
After we finished dinner with Abel, Timothée and I came back to his apartment and watched a movie, then went out separate ways to bed.
I've been awake since then, not falling asleep once, and quite frankly I'm getting frustrated.
I sit up with a sigh, pulling the warm blankets off my body, quietly making my way into the kitchen. I usually would be scared of the dark but since the exterior walls of the apartment are glass, the outside city lights illuminate the area around me.
I grab a glass from the cupboard and hold it under the refrigerator water dispenser as I watch it fill to the brim. I take a sip then set it on the counter as I walk over to the large glass wall in front of me.
I study the outside city. Even at such a late hour the city is so alive. I watch people pass by on bikes and drunk college students struggle walk home.
With another sigh I make my way back to the counter to grab my glass of water and hopefully fall back asleep.
As I grab the glass, the condensation that built up caused the glass to slip right through my fingers and shatter onto the floor as well as into my foot.
"FUCK" I practically scream as the pain of the glass in my foot settles into my body.
I hunch over in pain as I grab the counter for support, tears now flowing from my eyes seeing as I'm not very good at handling pain, especially when there's blood involved.
"Adeline what the fu-" Timothée's voice cuts short when he realizes the large glass shards in my foot. "Addy what did you do" he asks rushing by my side.
"The glass slipped from my hand and onto my foot" I sob as he places a hand on my lower back and helps me limp to the couch.

"I'm gonna grab my phone to call an ambulance" he says as he starts to walk away.
I grab his hand causing him to stop in his tracks. "No I don't want to go to the hospital" I say looking up at him through my tears.
He shakes his head. "Adeline this isn't something that we can patch up with a bandaid and call it a day. There's glass in your foot" he says making it very clear that he's serious.
I let go of his hand with a sigh of defeat. I absolutely hate hospitals.
I continue to quietly cry and chew at my fingernails as Timothée paces the room while he's on the phone with 911. Eventually the call ends and he comes to sit by my side.
"They should be here soon" he says as he stares at the ground.
"Timothée" I sniffle causing him to meet his eyes with mine. "It hurts" I cry as more tears flow down my face.
"I know" he cooes slowly rubbing my back. I rest my head against his shoulder as his touch warms my body.
Soon enough there's a knock on the door and two men dressed in EMT uniforms come in with a stretcher. Timothée explains what happened as they make their way towards me.
"I can walk" I insist as they lift me up from the couch and onto the stretcher.
"The glass is only going to get deeper if you do that" one of the men informs me.
I sigh for the 100th time tonight as I rub my tired and swollen eyes.
They begin to roll me out as I call out for Timothée. "You're not coming?" I ask looking back at him, as I feel my throat tighten and the tears fall again.
Being in pain makes me so emotional, I feel like a child. Usually I have my

Welcome to the real world bitch
"I can't, I'm not your immediate family" he says grabbing my hand in his. "I'll meet you at the hospital okay?"
I just nod as I continue to silently cry like a baby.
On the way to the hospital the EMT workers inspect my foot with concerned eyes. "This is the deepest cut I think I've ever seen" one of them speaks up.
"Are you going to take the glass out?" I ask, imagining how much pain that is going to inflict.
"We have to wait till we get to the hospital. It's too deep in there to take out here" the other man says as he prepares a needle.
"Is that going in me?" I ask with wide eyes. My whole life I've been terrified of blood and needles, and here I fucking am.
"It's an IV, we're going to put you on some pain medication. It's gonna make you a little drowsy" the first man speaks up again.
I nod as I chew at my lip, wishing Timothée was here.
We make it to the hospital and I'm rolled into a room that was sectioned away by only a curtain.
An older women comes in with a sweet smile, she appears to be a nurse. "We're going to let some of the pain medicine kick in and then the doctor will come in and remove the glass" she informs me as she takes my vitals.
I begin to feel tired, like the EMT man said but my eyes are still peeled, hoping Timothée would make it before they had to take the glass out.
Soon enough the boy I've been looking for walks in. He changed out of his boxers and T-shirt into some sweatpants and a hoodie, his bed head making him look incredibly hot.
I realize that I'm still in his sweatpants and T-shirt that I changed into when we got home from dinner last night. I look disgusting.
The doctor walks in shortly after Timothée explains what he's going to do and how I need to care for the wounds once they're stitched and I reply with a nod, not actually listening, but knowing Timothée is.
I grab Timothée's hand with all my strength as the doctor pulls out the glass shards one by one.
I let out a breath once he's done, releasing my lip from between my teeth only to realize that it's bleeding.
Great, just great.
A nurse comes in to stitch the cuts and gives all the cleaning and medicines to Timothée due to the fact that I'm still extremely loopy from the pain medication.
By the time the whole fiasco was over with, it was 7AM and I just wanted to be in bed.
As I crutch out of the hospital, yes crutch, I look at Timothée with tired eyes. "Can we watch little women when we get back to your apartment?" I ask as he looks down at me.
"Again?" Playfully whines as I smile knowing that means yes.
We eventually make it back to his apartment and he immediately rushes me to his bed helping me get comfortable and prop my foot up.
On the uber back home I called Ashley and explained what happened and that I would probably be at Timothée's for the rest of the day.
As we watch the movie my eyes grow heavier and heavier until they shut completely and my mind slows it's pace.
As I drift to sleep I snuggle deeper into Timothée's arms, finally letting slumber take over my body.

Chimera
Eleanor meant the world to Titus. So when an opportunity to bring her murderer to justice appears, Titus jumps on the chance. His quest, however, would mean traversing the dangerous world of Nivandor, a land infested with monsters, night hunters, and corrupt kings–nothing he and his lord, Lady Priscilla, couldn't handle. Their plans change, however, when both of them are dragged into a nightmare realm, a dimension filled with strange and powerful terrors unlike any they've ever faced. Titus's skill as a kinetic mage is put to the ultimate test as he must work with his lord to fight off the increasingly dangerous monsters that hunt them as they hunt down the three remaining Seraph lords sustaining the Nightmare. For only when the final Seraph lord is slain will the Nightmare truly end. --- Happy Holidays! I tried to get a chapter out this month, but there was just too much stuff to do and I got sick. There will also be more stuff to do come the month of December to the point that I don't think I will have a chance to finish the current story arc on a strong note. So, as of today, I will be going on hiatus until the holidays are over. I will hopefully return with the last few chapters of book 2 as well as the DLC chapters to help clarify Titus and Priscilla's powers as well as a look into their lives before the story gets crazy (maybe 6-7 chapters). These chapters are planned to take place in the day between Chapter 1.4 & Chapter 1.5, detailing the day they had before going to Nivandor. How the DLC chapters will be titled is to be decided. The DLC chapters will be posted here free as usual. Really excited to get a break so I can catch up on chapters. Even more excited to be able to start book 3 once the current story arc is finished. Warmly, Daniel --- Disclamer: This story is not a finished product and will be undergoing changes, sometimes significant changes, as the story develops. Think of it as an early access story where nothing is fully set in stone. If I change a part of the story that you really love, I'm sorry, but changing one part of the story will affect the other parts I try to avoid major changes, especially in older chapters, but for the newer ones there will probably be more fine tuning. As for anyone invested in the story who is not happy with the way the story is going, feel free to DM me so I can get feedback. I want to know how you guys feel about the story, what changes I can make, at what point in the story I may have lost you. But until I get specific feedback, I won't know what changes might need to be made. There are about 14 chapters left for Part 2 of Chimera, give or take. I don't have a time frame for when they will be up but know I am chipping away at the chapters as I can. Warm Regards, Daniel --- Cover art credit goes to Brosedesignz, who has an awesome selection of both premade and custom book covers at great prices on her website. She can also be found at thebookcoverdesigner.com, which is where I found my cover.

Super Sekken (An Action Shonen Story)
This is the author’s first story ever written. It may not be great, but do check it out, and I hope you enjoy! I’m currently working on its sequel. Hope. Courage. Self-value. Friends. These all were traits that former junior high soccer champion and first year Miyuki Sekken had none of until she first walked into the doors of her local High School. Despite being a sports athlete phenomenon in her school district, Miyuki dreaded its attention, and even quit her career in pursuit of living a simplistic daily routine. This daily routine would be inevitably interrupted when she chooses to 'branch out' by talking to people. Whether it be a chance of bad luck, fate, or karma, Sekken ends up speaking to someone who was unknowingly suffering from a curse: a curse that causes anyone who tries to get close to them to disappear. Miyuki Sekken would be the next victim, finding herself face-to-face against a once-thought mythical mafia. This gang is not just any gang either, but one who is run solely by the school students of Maguro High, who hold secrets to powers unheard of by the world. How will this first year survive? Will she conquer her anxiety and thwart the gang's vicious rule? Or will she end up losing more than she could have imagined? P.S. I am not a good drawer, so I use Picrews and photo editors to get the general idea for my characters' designs. Rights to the Picrews used go to their respective authors.
