《Xavier and Nevah》40. Who are you?
Advertisement
Once the doors opened, I ran to the front desk.
"Nevah." I breathed out. "Nevah Conway."
"Are you immediate family?" The lady at the desk asked me.
"I'm her boyfriend. My grandparents adopted her. So yes, yes I'm immediate family." I nodded.
"Ok. Room, 572." She told me.
"Cheers." I thanked her and ran to find the room. I ran down the hall, made two lefts and found the room. When I got up to it, I opened the door. My heart sank at what I saw.
My grandparents were sat next to the bed with Nevah. My heart sank because Nevah looked fine, a feeling of relief came over me. A gash was on her forehead but that seemed to be about it.
"W-who a-are y-you?" Nevah asked. Fear in her eyes as she looked at me standing by the door.
"Nevah? It's me, Xavier." I told her. Tears still fell down my cheeks. My grandparents sat to the side next to her bed.
"I-I d-dont k-know you." She whispered. I closed my eyes and ran a hand through my hair.
"Y-you don't remember me?" I breathed out. All of a sudden, Nevah started smiling then burst out laughing.
"Your face. Baby you should have seen your face." Nevah laughed.
"You're a bitch." I smiled and shook my head. I walked to her, cupped her cheeks and kissed her. "I hate you." I mumbled against her lips, not breaking the kiss.
"No you don't." She pulled away and giggled.
"So what happened?" I got a chair and sat next to her bed. I held her hand in both of mine pressing my lips to her knuckles.
"All I remember is you arguing with Izzy then walking out. I slipped on an ice puddle and fell knot the road. I didn't see the car, only hearing the beep and the lights. Then I woke up here." She told me.

"Nevah has a minor concussion. The car was going slow since it was a road that was icy and barely anyone else was driving. The man came in and apologised personally. The doctors say she's going to be absolutely fine. She'll be able to go home in a couple hours." Abuelo explained more.
"What's with the drip?" I chuckled a little.
"I've got a bad headache, so they gave me this. Every time it gets too bad I can add a drip so it'll ease the pain. And when I go home it'll be paracetamol." Nevah smiled at me.
"You got me for a second then." I chuckled lightly. "Ivory told me you were in a car accident and I just freaked. I shouldn't have left at all."
"Dont beat yourself up for it doofus." She flicked my forehead with her spare hand. "No one could have known what was going to happen. It'll be ok. I'm fine, absolutely fine. I've had worse injuries so I think i got lucky with this."
"Yeah." I nodded and kissed her hand again.
~~~~~~~
It was 7:00pm when Nevah was discharged. Abuelo and grandpa went home in their car while I took Nevah.
"You hungry?" I looked at her a second then put my eyes back on the road.
"Starving." Nevah giggled. I got to kfc and went through the drivethru. I got me and Nevah something as well as something for the grandparents.
When we got back home, I took all the food from Nevah and we went inside. As soon as we got inside, Apollo was immediately on Nevah's shoulder. He's learnt how to say pretty, so he kept on saying that. He calls Nevah pretty and gives her kisses, making the noises as well.

It makes her laugh and smile. Just seeing her like that makes me feel good, just getting her Apollo is the best thing I ever gave her.
"We got you some KFC." I told the men on the sofa. Hurley immediately put his head up at the mention of food.
"Thanks mate." Abuelo said and took his food. Nevah and I went up to our room where we sat on our bed. Apollo moved on to my shoulder where he kissed my cheek making the noise as well. I should teach him how to say give me kiss. That would be funny. Maybe some swear words to. No, Nevah will kill me. Worth it though.
Once we got to our room, we sat on our bed eating our dinner while Apollo sat on my head with Peter rabbit playing. Nevah wanted to watch it seeing as she now wants a rabbit to. She told me she wants one, but doesn't because Apollo will get jealous. What can I say, he takes after me. We both get jealous over Hurley getting more attention than us. Nevah just rolls her eyes at us.
"Happy birthday baby." I leaned over and kissed her.
"Some birthday." She giggled.
"I know. I'm sorry."
"Don't be. Maybe one of the best so far."
"You're so stupid." I rolled my eyes.
"And you're so jealous." She shot back.
"And I love you." I kissed her again.
"I love you to." Nevah put her hands around my neck as we kissed. Only to hear Apollo making kissing noises as well.

Path of Salt
After running off with his best friend to fight as Mercenaries, Tobias found out that he wasn't built for battle.

He woke up one day, only to be greeted by a floating panel of light. [Name: ... Marcus][Race: ... Human][Class: ... ... ...] [Hero] [Welcome to the System] What is a village-born Hero to do, but answer his calling? Current schedule: No chapters for the next few months. I'm still writing the entirety of Volume 2. WARNINGS:-Yes, this contains LitRPG elements after a slow start, promise.-This work is incredibly Slice-of-Life heavy-Also conversation heavy-Also plot heavy (But not in that way, unfortunately)-The pacing in terms of plot is slow -(Edit after a review)- This story is also known as: I honestly don't understand what's the difference between "light" and "dark" stories. I realized that far too late, so this story is... weird. It might be light at times, and dark at times, and in all honesty, definitely has dark undertones. Oh, and prepare to be disappointed or pleased by this story; I understand that this story is polarizing, at least. Cover made by: Fei (@Chippy03966650) / Twitter

Ghostified City
‘Ghostified City’ is a post-dystopian sci-fi tale, set in a fading world that might be a future version of ours, running out on autopilot into oblivion. Adaman Yimmand is a simple robofactory operator in The City who's working with robots and machines every day. He doesn’t even realise that he might not have met another actual human being in years. Everything begins when he breaks his routine for once and enters a bar where he meets Evelith. This pesky other person does not let him go after he has had his -rather terrible- beer, because according to her actual humans are much rarer than he’s aware of. And from then on ‘the genie is out of the bottle and won’t get back in’, to use her words: Adaman meets more people, and gradually he has no choice but to accept that the reality of The City is not what he always thought it was, and to face the darkness of a fading humanity on the brink of self-inflicted extinction.Is there any hope left for him, and for his species? I have selected 'sexual content' and 'traumatising content' to be on the safe side, because there is a stripclub-like venue in the background of the story, and an almost-extinct humanity that has institutionalised suicide which might be disturbing to some. Apart from that it's not really a heavy 'adult' story.('Ghostified City' is my first long story in English as opposed to my native language Dutch, and an earlier version was published on my fiction blog 'Oranderra' until I stopped updating. This is a slightly altered version of the first series.)
