《Broken (Jughead x reader)》Part 10
Advertisement
Our next class was cut short for an assembly. Cheryl Blossom stood at the podium, dressed in all lacy black, like she was at an actual funeral and not a small memorial at her high school. She looked around the room with a sad look on her face, speaking of her beloved brother, while I sat back on the same bleachers Jughead and I had been on, except this time, I was with Archie.
I looked over and saw Archie exchange glances with his music teacher, Miss Grundy. I couldn't help but get a little angry as they both looked away from each other quickly. This woman had some sort of hold on my brother and there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it. Archie hadn't told me exactly what was going on with them, but I had the idea that they were probably fucking. It was illegal, yes, but I wasn't going to do anything unless I knew Archie was in some sort of immediate danger.
I was jerked out of thoughts when I heard applause and cheering from the students around me. I could just make out what Cheryl was saying through all the celebrating.
"...but rather, let us use it as a way to heal, collectively, and celebrate my brother's too, too short life on this mortal coil."
I looked around the stands to see Jughead way in the back. I wanted nothing more in that moment to go and sit with him. To get away from the noise and the people. To let him wrap his arms around me, like he had done almost every night this summer. I wanted it to be just him and me, in my bed at home, where I could touch him and not have to worry that anyone was judging me or making sure I was okay. I wasn't okay. But with Jughead, it seemed like I could be.

As soon as school was over, Archie was at my locker, asking what I was doing that night. As I told him I was going to Pop's, I looked around the hallway. I wasn't one for a lot of eye contact and Archie knew that so he didn't bother trying to see what I was looking at. As I scanned the crowd, I caught the eye of a certain writer who was at his locker, further down the hall. He smiled at me and I smiled back.
"What?" I heard Archie ask. I turned my attention back to him.
"What?" I asked him.
"You're smiling. Why are you smiling?" I just shrugged my shoulders and told him that I had to go.
"Wait, where are you going?"
"Pop's. I already told you."
"With who?"
"Why do I have to go with someone?"
"You know why."
"There are plenty of people at Pop's, Archie. Someone will notice if I walk off. Pop knows not to let me start walking away without anyone with me. I'll be fine. If you're worried about me, than drop me off and I'll call you when I'm ready to come home 'cause I know you probably don't want me to walk home alone either. Okay?"
"... fine. Are you sure you don't want any company?"
"No. I need to be alone for a bit. Besides, I'm sure you have something better to do. What with football and music and... certain classes... certain teachers."
"Y/N, don't bring this up here."
"I won't. I didn't mean to, I just was talking and it popped into head." I said. He looked at me, worried.
"Arch, don't worry. It's a secret and I'm not willing to give it up without a good reason, okay? You can trust me. You know that."

"I know... it's just got me paranoid."
"Okay. C'mon, let's go to Pop's."
We walked to Pop's and Archie left me in a booth with a milkshake and fries. As soon as he left, I stood up, taking my food and walking to the booth in the back of the diner and sitting down across from the same writer who had caught my eye in the hallway just half an hour ago. I swung my legs up onto the table and began to eat, as Jughead typed on his laptop. I assumed he was near the end of a thought or something because he typed for a minute more before looking up.
"Hey." he said, leaning across the table to eat some of my fries. "So, how was your first day back in hell?"
I smiled, "Awful, how about yours?"
"I avoided human contact for most of the day, so it wasn't as bad as I had thought it would be. You're the only person I talked to other than the teachers."
"I wish, I could say the same."
He smiled at me. A real smile. A smile that I rarely saw out in public. That I only saw late at night, when neither of us could sleep but we were okay with that because we got to enjoy the little bit of time we had together before the sun came up. I had learned to hate the sunrise this summer. It meant that Juggie was leaving. It meant coldness from the disappearance of his body in my bed. It meant i was alone again. No more beams of light from the flashlight on my bedside table swirling across the walls of my room. No more little jokes and muffled laughter. No more sweet short kisses (or loving long ones). It just meant no more Juggie.

Luminether Online: A LitRPG Fantasy Adventure
A year after the tragic death of his best friend, Carey Walsh copes with feelings of guilt and loneliness by trolling strangers online. His secret little addiction becomes a nightmarish odyssey when he trolls a billionaire inventor of a futuristic VR simulation housed on a faraway tropical island. The game, known as “Luminether Online,” is actually an experiment meant to rewire the brain’s empathy centers - an experiment that kills the bullies it attempts to fix. Suddenly trapped inside, Carey encounters an epic fantasy world full of vibrant magic spells, terrifying monsters, and ancient gods who left behind superpowered races of humans – one of which Carey must choose as his avatar. Armed with the most basic armor and sword, he must level up, stop a guild of necromancers hellbent on world domination, and do it all while playing as an orange-eyed "Feral" rogue with a furry tail and amazing stealth, agility and parkour skills. But there are other, more toxic, players who will do anything to win, even if it means committing real-life murder against their competitors. In order to win the game, Carey must recruit allies, explore the mythical world of Astros, and unlock the secrets of this baffling new reality - because the truth is not what it seems. Luminether Online is a standalone LitRPG novel, though it is set in the same world as a different series known as The Luminether Series, a non-LitRPG epic fantasy.

Bright Feather
I'd like to say something like this is a unique story, blah-blah, but it's not. The story itself is your typical fantasy story with magic, fightings, plot armors, good friends, beautiful ladies and whatever there always is in such stories. I pretty much enjoy typical stories. So I've decided to write one myself. The only thing is the story isn't going to be centered about the Main Character. So let's leave all of the above to him, we'll meet him eventually anyway. This is the story of MC's counterpart. While our greatest Main Character conquers the world, cultivates, and whatever else, what does his destined other half do? Sit and stoically wait for him to come out of the closed door cultivation? Really now... Just thought it might be interesting to write such a story. Let's see if I manage. I'm new to this so, dear readers, please, don't be harsh on me. But if you have some words for me, so I can improve, don't keep them to yourselves, all help is deeply appreciated.And I officially promise to be very slow and inconsistent with releases (myriads reasons for this.) But I'll still do my best to finish the story someday. WARNINGS! (I thought a lot, and in the end, I'm putting it here. Better safe than sorry.) First of all, you can probably easily guess, but English is not my native language. And everything that comes with it. I don't think that it excuses me though, so I will improve with time, but warning you nevertheless. Second: No harem, no BL, no Romance And the last but not least: Beware of psychological pressure on characters and characters' deaths. Not much, in my opinion, but still, if you're overly sensitive to violence or mind games, better drop before starting. In any case, you've been warned. With all the above said, welcome, and enjoy.
