《The ThickGirl and The Badboy》Chapter 18:Cry Baby
Advertisement
Her eyes stared deeply into mine, looking panicked.
Why was she panicked?
Did I not look like a fucking angel to her?
She then shut her eyes tight, and turned towards her parents, and spoke with a whisper, "Why am I here? What the fuck happened? "
Her mom gave her a warning look, I side smiled.
"Leen.." Her father started, grabbing a hold of her hand for reasurance, "You got hurt. Crystal panicked and called the ambulance. We were so worried honey.."
"What do you mean?!"
"You just need to rest, you'll be out soon." He kissed the back of her hand, and squeezed it tightly.
I then felt that I shouldn't be witnessing this. It was her family, her family time, and it felt like I was intruding her personal life.
"Koleen." Dr.Disnew spoke,"How are you feeling?"
She turned toward him, completely ignoring me.
Was she not grateful I was here with her?
"I feel fine." She gets up, "Can I go now?"
"As soon as your parents fill out some papers. You'll be cleared. But resting is important for you."
She later back down, looking up at the ceiling. "Okay." She sighed.
"I'm gonna need the parents to come this way." The doctor said, her parents following after him, leaving us alone.
After a few moments of silence she speaks up, "Why are you here?"
Wow, that stung.
"I thought Sean gave you a beating."
She smiled, that cute smile of hers that for some odd reason made me feel better. "Yeah right." She answers. "Sean is too much of a coward to throw fists."
"I was just checking."
•••••••○••
Embarrassment was what I felt when I was being put in a hospital bed for simply falling, embarrassment was what I also felt when I woke up to see Bryson there.

He looked like shit, although I shouldn't be talking because I probably did too, but he just looked...tired.
But hearing him say he came to see if Sean did something named me laugh.
He left after my parents came back, said he'd see me at school. Which, oddly enough, maybe I was looking forward to.
"Okay so you're all ready, any questions?"Dr.Disnew asked us.
"Well," My dad looked to me and my mom, "Can my daughter get a school note to rest for tomorrow? If you tell her to rest, I know she won't do it. Her coaches will probably make her do five miles."
"Don't exaggerate Rodrigo." My mom tells him.
"It is not an exaggeration Catalina. I want my daughter to rest, if she doesn't get a doctors note she won't listen!" My dad argued.
"Uh, in that case I will write a note for her." The Doctor said.
We left the hospital with a doctors note, telling me to rest. Which kind of annoyed me, but my dad insisted.
Once we got home, I thought we'd be all together but my mom checked her watch, and announced , "I must go. I've got a shift in a couple of minutes."
"What?" I say surprised.
"Honey, I was with you the whole time. I've missed too much important work, I'll see you tomorrow sweetpea." She said kissing my forehead, and leaving out the door.
I turned towards my dad, "You're not leaving?"
He smiled at me warmly, his smile always reasured me. "Now why would I do that?"
"Don't you have work to do also?"
He grabbed my hand and squeezed it, "Pumpkin I will never leave you for work. Work can wait, right now you're my priority." He kissed my forehead," Are you hungry? I can make some to eat."

The next day I woke up thinking I had school, but I forgot my dad requested to rest. I went back to bed and slept so good.
When I woke up I felt rested, I went to the kitchen to see if my dad was there, but remembered he had to leave for work.
The doorbell rang, followed by a knock.
'Who could it be?' I thought as I checked the clock to see the time.
I waited a few minutes to open the door, thinking maybe they'd leave.
"I know you're in there, you didn't go to school today." Bryson reported.
I was surprised he even showed.
Silence.
"ThunderThighs c'mon. I have Dairy-Free Ice Cream, and other healthy shit for you, now let me in."
I raised my eyebrow up, 'food? For mua?'
'Let me go get that door.'
I didn't realize I was still in my pajamas until I opened the door, and he just stared.
"Nice clothes." He mocks.
"Well are you gonna come in, or are you just gonna stand there like an idiot?" I tell him.
He didn't take his eyes off me, as he entered.
"What's up with you? Why are you staring at me like that, as if I were almost naked?" I asked, my eyes scanning him over.
"Nothing. You look different that's all."
My face scrunched up in confusion, " You've seen me with or without makeup, if that's what you mean." I told him snatching the food, and making myself comfy on the couch. "Thanks by the way." I then winked.
He side smiled me, and sat next to me.
"It's not that...Did..Did I ever tell you, you have a baby face?" He asked grabbing my face.
I pulled back from his touch and replied, "I don't have a baby face."
He laughed, tilting his head back..
He has a nice smile...and a nice laugh..and nice teeth...
"Yeah right! ThunderThighs, you look sixteen!"
My jaw hit my lap.
I.Did.Not.
"No I don't!"
He smirked at me, then turned on the TV with one hand, and rested the other behind the couch, close to my back.
"What are you doing here anyways?" I asked confused, grabbing a pillow and squeezing it.
"I came to see how you were." He replied quietly.
"Why?" I asked him.
"Let's watch a movie. " He changed the subject.

BEER RUN
It was his turn to walk down to the corner store and buy the beer. The big game was about to start. Jason left the apartment a normal twenty something with a pocket full of one-dollar bills from the guys and a mysterious artifact he dug up in the field next to the apartments the day before, which he planned to show his college professor on Monday. Little did he know that within the next few hours, Jason would be running from demons, who crawl up out of the ground, with his favorite erotic starlet, Penny Tickles, and rubbing an artifact that only seems to grant one wish every twenty-four hours.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
