《Fanboy (Fourtris AU)》(9)
Advertisement
Weeks later, and the daycare was structurally sound and ready for decorations. All of the labouring work like fixing the pipes and electricity were all secured, and Tris could not wait to do the fun part of painting.
Tonight Four was taking her on their first date together after he got home from work. She had walked from home to the daycare to check on its progress, and was pleasantly surprised to see how great things looked.
She walked through the doors and looked around at the residue of the old carpet, and the new light fixtures. Everything seemed ready to go. She should be open by summer.
Her old phone buzzed in her pocket startling her. "Hey," She said with a smile when she saw the caller ID read "Fanboy".
"Hey baby, where are you?" his deep, soothing voice asked curiously.
"I walked to my daycare to check on the progress. I thought you didn't get off till five," she said softly, turning off the lights and locking the doors.
"Tris, that's like seven miles from my house. Why didn't you tell me? I would have driven you there," he snapped gently, concerned for her safety. "What time did you leave the house this morning?"
"I left around eleven. I enjoyed the walk," she whispered, walking toward the busy city.
He sighed, rubbing his face. "I'm sorry, I just worry about you. I took part of a day off for our date, but it's incredibly understandable that you wouldn't want to be cooped up in the house all day," he apologized sweetly. "Let me come get you. Meet me at the bookstore on Third Street?"
"Okay, see you in a few," she said guilty. If she had known he'd taken part of the day off, she wouldn't have left. She had gotten a part-time job at a local café, but she struggled with not being around kids. Even though she and Four were dating, she still tried to pull half of the monthly mortgage.

The bookstore was buzzing with excitement do to the recent release of a very popular wizard book.
She found herself wondering into the travel section as she waited for Four, running the tips of her fingers over the Roman Colloseum, and the Taj Mahal in India. It would be amazing to visit each one of those places.
Her family never got out much, they weren't very interested. They were too busy volunteering and helping others to notice their only child. Tris stayed in the shadows most of her life. Her playful personality hidden by her loneliness. She quietly sighed at her sad thoughts, jumping when she she felt a warm hand on her shoulder.
"Are you okay?" Four asked softly. He had been watching her for a few moments. He saw her longing and sadness, and his surprise date plans of dinner and a movie suddenly changed.
"We need to go or we're going to be late, love," he gave her a sad smile when he saw how upset she was. He didn't like this, it hurt his heart, and he just wanted to tuck her away from the rest of the world.
He ushered her into the car, speeding quickly to their home. "We are going away for awhile. Pack a week's worth of clothes."
"A week's worth? What the hell? I though you were just taking me on a normal person date," she yelled as she started stuffing clothing into a large suitcase Four pulled out for her.
"It's a surprise, remember? You shouldn't have been expecting anything. I need to make a quick phone call, so give me a minute. We need to leave in a half an hour," he rushed, going to his office to book a quick flight. He was lucky that he was Four Eaton.
The airline luckily had two seats available for a two-thousand dollar flight to Naples, a more expensive flight, but Four wasn't sweating it.
It didn't leave for four hours, enough time to get down there and check in their luggage and whatever else. He just couldn't wait.

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.
