Chapter 66
Harry's POV
~~at Harry's flat~~
I unlocked my front door and slowly pushed it open. I walked inside and sighed deeply. I stepped inside, clutching the bottle of pills tightly in my hand. I took a few steps forward and slammed the door. I threw my keys on the kitchen table and set the bottle of vodka down on the counter.
I don't know what it was, I just had this strange feeling that something was going to go horribly wrong...what am I saying? This is what I've wanted to do for along time...I-I want to do this...but why do I feel so bad about it? Almost guilty...I guess I don't want to leave the boys behind...but why do they need me? I'm just another band mate, I could easily be replaced...
And Louis..I don't want to leave him either...but he doesn't need me anymore, heck, he never needed me, I needed him.
I'm nothing special, I'm just me, after all.
I got a cup down from the cabinet and grabbed the vodka from the kitchen counter. I went into the living room and sat on the couch. I unscrewed the lid and poured a large amount in the glass. I took a sip and glanced at the bottle of pills I'd left sitting on the table.
Maybe....maybe I won't do this...no, I'm not backing out now. I'll prove to Edward, everyone who called me a coward or weak, I'll show them I'm not. I'll do it. I'll show them, they'll be sorry...
Actually, I don't even care if they are sorry or not, this is what I've wanted for years...I was never able to work up the courage to do it, and I always had Louis...he was the only one keeping me alive, he loved me.
I still hate him for loving me, how could he? I was always way too clingy and far too emotional, I never wanted him to leave me. He didn't seem to care about the cuts, he told me I was beautiful. He said no matter how many scars I had he'd still love me...
I miss him so much, I guess you don't realize what you have until it's gone...
I finished my drink and then poured more alcohol into the glass. I was starting to feel a bit dizzy, I don't usually drink this much but who's stopping me?

Again, I glanced at the pills on the table. It would be so nice just to end it, get it over with...maybe..? No. I'll do it. I won't back out, I'll do it.
I set my glass on the coffee table and somehow managed to stand up, my head was pounding and I couldn't quite see straight. I stumbled into the kitchen and picked up the bottle of pills. I held them in my hand and nodded to myself. I'll do it...I will...
I grabbed the bottle of vodka and my phone, and staggered down the hallway. I opened my bedroom door and collapsed on the bed. maybe I'd just go to sleep...
I could do it tomorrow...no. Because then I won't do it...I'll keep saying maybe tomorrow, but I'll never do it...I need to, no ones here, no one cares, so why not?
I groaned, picking up my phone and switching it on. I went on Twitter, sure enough there were thousands of hate comments...
More than half were talking trash about me and Louis.
I just had to laugh at one of the tweets, the girl was saying how Louis wasn't gay and even said "he loves Eleanor" ha, yeah right. He loves Eleanor but asks me to be his boyfriend. He loves Eleanor but he'll hold hands with me, not her. He kissed me and told me he loved me and said I was his. I haven't seen them kiss in years. Yep. He really loves her.
And as I expected, I had a few messages from Edward....
"Have you killed yourself yet? If you're reading this it means you haven't, you coward. I knew you wouldn't. slit your wrists and die, no one wants you here, can't you see that?"
My eyes filled with tears as I read through the rest of his messages. Why does he love to torture me? I've never done anything to him! I don't even fight back when he hurts me, I haven't given him a reason to hate me..have I?
I set my phone down and carefully stood up, I walked to my dresser and pulled out my blades. I sat on the carpet in front of my bed and rolled up my sleeves. No ones here so what do I care?
I pressed the razor down and and drug it across my wrist, I cried out in pain and dropped the blade, blood gushed out all over the floor and on my jeans. I'm so stupid. I knew I was drunk, obviously...I can't even stand. So why would I go and do this?

As quickly as I could I got to my feet and ran into the bathroom, more like stumbled. I grabbed one of the towels and pressed it on the cut. I'll be fine. This will all be over soon.
The blood stopped spilling out everywhere, but was still leaking through the towel and sliding down my arm as I held it to my chest.
I didn't really know what I was doing, or why, but unwrapped the towel, and tossed it on the bathroom floor. My blood was dripping down my arm and splashing against the floor tiles, I stood there watching it a moment or two before wandering into my bedroom again. Even though I was bleeding quite badly, I somehow blocked it out. I could barely feel the sting anymore, I was too busy reading the label on the sleeping pills again.
'Overdosage could cause death'
I smiled, although I wasn't feeling good at all. I was jus glad to finally be able to end it. This was it, I'd be gone in a few minutes, all the pain would slowly fade away and I'd be gone.
I picked up my phone, ignoring the hatful comments as much as I could, I smiled through tears as I typed my last message
'"ok fine, you win. It's over. I hope you're happy now."
I hit send and then shut down my phone. I don't want anyone to try and talk me out of this. This is it, I don't want to be here anymore. I can't take it. No one really cares anyway. A year from now I'll be forgotten, only a memory.
I can only imagine the things people would say after I sent the tweet. I'll bet half, more than half, would tell me to do it. I'll bet they're glad I'm leaving. I don't blame them.
I'd better do this quick. The boys have probably already seen the tweet by now, if they try and stop me I swear I'll take the pills right in front of them. I don't care.
I bit down on my lip and unscrewed the lid, I dumped the bottle out on my bed and sat down. I counted out twenty-two pills, there were more left in the bottle but these are all I'll need. My hands trembled as I picked up four pills, examining them closely as they laid in the palm of my hand. I stuffed them in my mouth and grabbed the bottle of vodka, which was almost empty by now. I took a long drink and swallowed. I wiped my mouth and counted out five more pills and popped them in my mouth. I took another drink and started to feel a bit sick. I grabbed a handful of pills and mindlessly stuffed them into my mouth, I drank the last of the vodka and swallowed the pills.
~~minutes later~~
By now everything seemed as though it was spinning, I felt horrible, the burning feeling inside wouldn't go away and my head was aching terribly. I clutched my stomach and groaned, as I laid my head on my pillow and began crying. Maybe I shouldn't have done this. I shouldn't have...
I can't just come back, I'll be gone forever...
"I-I'm...s-sorry...L-Lou..."
I choked, hot tears streaming down cheeks. I curled in a ball on my bed and held my stomach, almost screaming by now. I didn't know it would hurt, I thought it would just be quick and easy, I expected it to be over instantly, not to drag on for what seemed like an eternity.
I closed my eyes tight and screamed in pain, I was dying...and I was scared...
All of the sudden I heard what sounded like a car pulling up outside the building. I could've sworn I heard somebody yelling downstairs, but I'm probably just hearing things...
The noises got louder and louder until I covered my ears. Everything seemed to be fading away but I could I still hear the sounds and surprisingly, my eye lids were still open even though they seemed to be getting heavier every second. I knew once they closed I'd be gone for good...oh well...I guess this is good bye...
I laid on my bed whimpering, feeling so lost and alone. Then I heard it, I heard that bloody screeching sound again. I could sort of make it out, I thought someone was shouting to me, calling my name maybe?
It turns out there was someone yelling, screaming my name. It was Louis...

End's End
Crow Tempora is an optimistic country bumpkin who knows very little of life in the heart of the world's cities, however behind his easy smile is a stony determination to achieve his goal of accomplishing the impossible- one that he can only reach by winning the Sieve, the largest competition of young Mystics the world has ever seen. Famous across the entire world and loved almost as widely, Gemini Menza has never known a single day of anonymity in her short life. Like most magical prodigies she has spent her years on guard against powerful Immortals attempting to use her as a tool, unlike most she is uniquely gifted and burdened with the position of being the single most magically prodigious individual of her generation- perhaps throughout all of history. Entering the Sieve not to work for victory, but to collect it as a boring chore, she soon finds herself shocked by the difficulty of her tasks, both inside the contest and out. After all, she was also given the privilege of joining at a younger age than anyone else. Machiavellian manipulator Unity Eden is growing tired of the tasks forced onto him by those who control him, unfortunately he also happens to be controlled by the leaders of the largest empire the world has ever seen. While he has little hope of wriggling his way out of it, he intends to make his entry into the Sieve as damaging to them as he can. While most are fixated on the events of the Sieve's stages, intently watching the young and talented as they go head to head to find out who holds the title of strongest, Karma Alabaster has her eyes on the powers behind the curtains- the endless machinations of the Immortals and their servants. Caught between enough crisscrossing schemes to form a spiderweb, she must use every ounce of her not inconsiderable mind to keep herself from playing into another's hands... all while solving a mysterious and seemingly impossible murder. The winds of change are blowing in Bermuda, and only one person will shape them. Cover art by: Nova @no_no_nova on tiktok @no_no_no_nova on ig THREE NEW CHAPTERS POSTED EVERY SINGLE WEEK.
8 68Mage Among Superheroes
Turlough is a mage. He also happens to be an orc, generally lauded as being less intelligent than humans. He was unfortunately born with the Curse of the Barbarian, meaning that he can’t level up except through combat- which greatly hinders his ability to show he can be a proper mage. In a world with necromancers, dragons, invading armies, and all sorts of other monsters he would still be able to advance quickly, but unfortuantely… that world is not his world. An unprecedented peace reigns across the land, and in the last several decades there’s been little use for people capable of fighting- and thus little reason for people to fight him. So when he sees a portal in his master’s study he takes it, hoping to find a horde of demons or something equally foolish to combat at low level. But instead he ends up in a strange city full of skyscrapers and people running around in colorful outfits. Superheroes- and of course supervillains as well. What dangers and opportunities could await him in such a strange and unfamiliar world? Only time will tell. Inspired by many things in the superhero genre, and Super Minion specifically- though while the setting will share some standard elements, it is an original setting that will hopefully be as engaging as many of the other universes. Schedule: One chapter each Monday/Thursday, approx. 2000 words.

When a call goes out into the universe,a young man, down on his luck, decides to answer. Ripped from his old life and even his body, Jack Hearth must now decide what needs to be done to protect those he has claimed as his own. Not all is as it seems though. Those in power do not approve of his quest and will seek to bring ruin to his efforts. This is my very first work, so I ask for understanding should I make a mistake. This story is not on of those stories where the MC gains power and immediately decides to use it for violence. While those types of stories are fun, this isn't one of those. I will average betweern 1k-2k words per chapter for the foreseeable future. Please leave a comment below to let me know how I am doing.
