《postponing forever》chapter 13
Advertisement
Maria was shocked when she opened the door to see a sobbing Rachel; she had expected to see a happy best friend since exams were over.
‘What’s wrong sweetie?’ she asked her as she swept her into the apartment.
‘F-Finn’ she sobbed out. On the short trip down to Maria’s Rachel finally let her emotions get the better of her and she started to cry. It had hurt more than anything to walk away from him when he was begging her to stay and talk to him but she wasn’t ready to.
‘Oh sweetie’ Maria soothed, an explanation wasn’t needed she had the conversation daily with Rachel.
Isabel knocked on the door to her brothers apartment waited for him to answer. She had barely heard or seen him in the past couple of months but the gossip had finally got to her the day before when she had met with Maria for lunch and had been filled in on what was happening between him and Rachel.
Isabel loved Rachel and couldn’t wait for the day that the two of them would be sisters. She never understood what Finn was doing ‘postponing forever’ and had been one of the first people to confront him asking him if he was stupid. He hadn’t gone into details with his explanation but he had assured her that there was reason to his madness so like in everything they did Isabel trusted her brother.
When Maria had told her what Finn had done at first she had refused to believe it. Isabel knew without a doubt how much Finn loved Rachel, it was obvious to everyone but to Isabel she could always see it more and thought it was because of the connection she had with her brother.

When no one answered the door Isabel began to get worried, she could hear someone in there and Maria had only rang her an hour ago asking her to go and check up on Finn and explained the condition Rachel was in. Thankfully Maria had realised that Finn was probably in a worse condition after Rachel had walked out on him.
Isabel tested the door handle and found it open so she hesitantly entered the apartment.
‘Finn’ she called out but she received no response. There were lights on in the house so Isabel made her way to Finn's bedroom hoping that she might find him there asleep.
I hear the clock, it's six a.m.
I feel so far away from where I've been
I got my eggs, I got my pancakes too
Got my maple syrup, everything but you
I break the yolks and make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots off of the mirror, don't leave the keys in the door
I never put wet towels on the floor anymore 'cause
Finn was in his room but he wasn’t asleep. Isabel found him sitting on his bed, his face red from crying and his clothes crumpled. Isabel had never seen her brother look so defeated in her entire life and her heart went out to him.
‘Finn’ she called to him again softly this time gaining his attention.
The minute Finn caught sight of his sister he immediately began crying again.
‘She’s gone Iz and I don’t know if she’ll come back’ he sobbed.
Dreams last so long, even after you're gone
I know, that you love me and soon you will see
You were meant for me and I was meant for you

Isabel rushed to his side ‘Shh it’s ok she’ll be back tomorrow she’s just at Maria’s for the night’ she tried to reassure him.
‘N-No’ he shook his head ‘you didn’t see her Izzy, the way she looked at me, the way she’s been looking at me for the past week now. I-I don’t think she wants to be with me anymore’
‘Oh Finn’ Isabel cried. She noticed then that Finn appeared to have something in his hand ‘What’s that?’ she asked him.
I Called my momma, she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk
So picked up a paper, it was more bad news
More hearts being broken or people being used
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same
'Cause it was happy and I was sad and
It made me miss you oh so bad cause
Finn opened his hand and revealed the small black box causing Isabel to gasp.
‘Is that what I think it is?’ she asked him.
‘Y-Yes’ he told her handing it to her so that she could take a look at it.
Dreams last so long, even after you're gone
I know, that you love me and soon you will see
You were meant for me and I was meant for you
‘Oh Finn’ Isabel couldn’t get over how beautiful the ring inside was; it would be perfect for Rachel.
‘When did you get this?’ she asked him.
Finn laughed bitterly ‘three and half years ago’
‘What?’ Isabel gasped. Three and half years ago was high school and pretty much the time that Finn started to behave like a typical male when it came to his relationship with Rachel.
‘I bought it after Prom’ he told her.
‘Why?’ she asked.
Finn turned to his sister then, at the time he had wanted to confide in Isabel but had decided that if he wanted this to work that he was going to have to keep it a secret.
‘Because I was going to ask her to marry me’ he whispered.

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.
