《Adopted By My Chemical Romance》Chapter 22

I pulled my case into the boot of the car as I was trying to hold back my tears. I turned back to the others who lined up on the front patio. I walked over to them and started with Bandit who was tightly clutching Ray's hand. I knelt down on one knee and hugged her tightly.
"I'll be back soon Bandit. Be a good girl for me and come visit please." I said with a smile.
"Don't be too long. I'll make sure your room stays clean and I'll be good for everyone." Bandit promised as she let go. She smiled at me and looked at her feet. I got up and looked at Ray before giving him a little smile. He pulled me into a hug.
"You're gonna be okay. Your guitar will be looked after." Ray said when he let go. I nodded and smiled as I moved onto the All Time Low boys who were still here. Each in turn gave me a hug and said good luck and a goodbye. Next was Mikey who wasn't even looking at me. His fringe falling in front of his face. I took his fringe and tucked it behind his ear. He looked up at me and I returned his gaze with a small smile.
"I don't want you to go Jade." Mikey sniffed. He was on the verge of tears.
"People have to go through a lot to be happy Mikey. You know that." I smiled. Mikey nodded. I was just about to move on when Mikey pulled me into an extremely tight hug and began sobbing into my shoulder.
"I'll come back. I promise I will and I won't do anything stupid." I promised as I stroked his hair.
"You said that last time and now you're going away. I should have known better and protected you." Mikey sobbed.

"I'll come back. I won't be sick anymore when you see me again. I'll be strong and happy." I said. Mikey took a few seconds to let go. When I let go, he wiped away his tears. Lyn-Z stood next to Mikey trying not to cry.
"You'll be great honey. Gee and I will visit you as often as we can." She said as she pulled me into a hug. I let her go water a few seconds and smiled at her. Frank was last as Gee was waiting for me by the car. I instantly hugged him tightly and we both burst into tears.
"I'll do anything for you to stay but I can't." Frank cried. I rubbed his back as I cried into his collarbone.
"I gave Gerard a couple of my t-shirts and my favourite aftershave for you to take. I don't want you to feel alone." Frank said as he took my face in his hands and rubbed my cheeks. His eyes were sorrowful and unhappy but he took my hand and led me to the car anyway.
"Goodbye Frank." I cried.
"Goodbye Doll." He replied as he opened the door for. I got in and the door closed behind me. Gerard got in the car next to me with a back pack in this hand. Gerard smiled at me as he started the car. I took one last look at the house and thought "what if I don't ever come back?" before Gerard and I disappeared through the gate.

Gerard gave me the back pack as we pulled into the car park of the clinic. I slowly got out of the car and swung the backpack on. Gerard got my suitcase out of the boot, took my hand and dragged me towards the clinic as I was extremely hesitant. The automatic doors opened in front of me. Inside was a reception which was completely empty. Gerard dragged me to the desk and pressed the service button. A friendly woman walked out of the side door which led to a corridor.

"Jade Way?" She asked. I nodded shyly.
"I'm Ellen. I'm one of the nurses here. I'll show you and your guardian to your room to unpack and say your goodbyes." She said sweetly. She opened the door and led us down the corridor. Kids sat in corners alone or in the common room laughing. Soon enough she came to a door and unlocked it to a room similar to the one in the adoption centre. This time I'd be on my own. Again.
"I'll leave you too unpack. Dinner is from 5:00-7:30 so the rush will be in a couple of minutes." Ellen said before closing the door behind Gerard. I burst into tears again. Gerard pulled me into a hug.
"You're strong enough to do this without us. You've got to fight the fear of living." Gerard said before he kissed my forehead. His chin rested on top of my head.
"I'll try Dad. I promise." I replied.
"Dad?" Gerard asked.
"I guess you are now. That's how I've got to remember you." I answered, knowing that I might not see him for a long time.

Milton
A Cyberpunk Coming of Age Tale The Apocalypse is ugly. The only lights that work are battery powered or neon. Scroungers kill your neighbors and take control of their bodies. Gang wars run rampant in the perpetual night, as usual, except now, most members have magical spells to defend their turf. Life certainly changed once the Rainbow Letters came. For Milton, things changed for the better. The world became familiar. He could find loot, learn skills, and equip weapons and armor. It was all much easier to understand than the perils of pre-Apocalypse life with its grocery shopping and going outside. Then he discovers Ragnarok, Orchestrator of the Rainbow Letters and all of Milton’s problems. The race to figure out why is on. If Milton is to survive long enough to find answers, he must first be strong enough to confront his worst enemy: himself. * This is work in progress and NOT professionally edited. * ** This story is humorous in the begining, but gets very dark around the turning point. Reader discretion is advised.**

Not as it seems
Stranded inside the world he'd been writing about for years, Arwen is left at the mercy of the characters and setting he'd so lovingly created.

But things aren't going to be easy, as the further he plunges into his world, the more he will realize things aren't quite what he thought them to be. This story is a case study on a realistic approach to isekai as well as what it means to "know" someone / something, and to "KNOW" them. There will be hard themes and uncomfortable truths, and just like with real life, it will show things as they are unfiltered.

A Generic Dungeon Core Story
When one falls… what happens? Do they just disappear into an endless abyss? Do they got to a final resting place to lay forever? Do they get to look down proudly upon the world from the clouds or look up in regret as they are burned and tortured? One man… person found out the hard way as he fell into a dark abyss after having surely died only to found himself awake again with most of his memories and knowledge blocked of as he was reincarnated into a 10ft cube as a small glowing sky blue orb…. This is my first actual foray to the world of webnovels as I’ve never wrote any stories before… *cough cough * edgy horny filled teenage fanfics do not count whatsoever *cough cough*. I am very new to the world of novels and I am not a native English speaker so expect a lot of grammar mistakes. The story will update on weekends on Saturday or whenever I feel like uploading as I do not have much free time and this is only a novel I write to improve my writing skills. What can you expect from the story? - Dungeons? Of course, this is the main theme of the story. - Multiple leads? Yes, there will be multiple perspectives from many different characters with at least 4 main characters. - Gamelit? The world is ruled by a system… that does absolutely nothing other than a way to view your stats and progression. - Murder hole? No, the lead character has a challenging yet fair view on how dungeons should operate, don’t get me wrong as he will still kill people if they are evil, careless or overestimate their abilities but don’t expect too much death as I feel that most adventurers would be smart enough to know their abilities especially when they have to do it themselves instead on relying on skills or the system. - Cultivation? No, the ability to gain power from sitting still and breathing never made any sense to me and it will be completely broken if the MC gets their hands on it so… no. - Non-human MC? Yes, they are a dungeon after all and yes, dungeons do get avatars but it is a specialized procedure that many choose not to do. Also, if the dungeon gets an avatar, no he will not be some wish giving demigod or whatever. - Magic? Yes, but it is very limited and down to the ground... from my notes... which means nothing - Art? Yes, I’m a hobbyist-artists so expect some art sketches here and there… I am poor so I do not have line art pens or tablets or adobe photoshop… also no scanners so… pictures of pencil-sketches it is, no coloring though since I am terrible at coloring. - Comedy? Yes, if you can call my bad attempts at humor comedy. - Likeable characters? Hopefully… especially since I accidentally made like... 60 characters … how I made 6 originals into 60?… I have no idea whatsoever… - Adventurers/invaders/delvers/etc…? Yes! My favorite part about dungeon core novels are when delvers delve into the dungeon and reading how they react, I will definitely flesh out the delvers and show how they operate more than usual hopefully. Hopefully you like the story, I will not have a patreon or paypal or whatever mostly because I’m under 18, thanks for at least reading this far and I hope that my writing is at least passable and you enjoy the story… if not then at least I got some writing practice in English.
