《Her tutor》41
Advertisement
My head aches... my body is numb... and my arm feels like it's been pricked with needles all over.
I felt someone touch around my arm and I heard a rhythmic beeping around me. I knew Anna was close cause I remembered her scent on her clothes.
My head was in her neck as I opened my eyes. I felt her thumb rub over my skin while having her hand over my torso with
no pressure. Her head was above mine and I felt like I couldn't move.
I feel paralyzed... am I paralyzed? All the sudden I sat up and threw up over the side.
Nope not paralyzed thank god.
"Hey. Love you okay?" I heard as I felt myself crawl in a little ball.
My body was hot. I felt like I'm on the edge of a volcano. I kicked every blanket I had on top of me. Taking my arm and wiping the sweat off my head.
"Hey come here..." I heard as someone pulled me into their chest.
I winced so many times at my stomach. My arm wasn't able to move by all the tubes there was. I could hear myself whimper and wince at my agonizing pain in my stomach.
"It's okay... your okay." Anna whispered as her arms wrapped around me carefully.
She kissed my head repeatedly like I was on the edge of dying. I felt like dying. I wanted to die to not feel the pain in my body.
"Is she awake?" I heard Paxton's voice.
I looked up and Paxton was with Lucas. Lucas came by the bedside before ruffling my hair a little. He kissed the side of my head before replacing himself with Paxton.
"How do you feel? You want me to go get dad?" She asked but I didn't say anything.
I didn't feel like saying anything. I kept quiet as Anna answered for me.

"She needs her meds on the bedside. And you might do wanna get your dad." Anna said and I saw Paxton grab the meds.
"Can you sit up?" Anna asked me and I tried.
I managed to do it with her help. I laid my head on her chest has she got a water bottle from Paxton. She took the meds as I was suppose to take two a day.
"Here." She said handing me the pills.
I took them as my dad walked in the room. He smiled before coming to the sides and checking the monitor and machines.
"A friend of mine. He's a retired doctor and he's gonna come check up on you." He said and I nodded.
I laid my head on Anna's chest while she played with my hair. I had forgotten that my dad was still here.
"Alright. I'll check in with you in a couple hours." He said leaving.
I carefully wrapped my arms around her neck as my head automatically nuzzled my head in her chest. She kissed my head before playing with my hair.
~~~~~
"Hey... you okay?" I felt some arms around me.
"You really haven't been talking for a few days... and you've not been eating." Anna said behind me.
I didn't say anything. My body was wired to all kind of machines. The doctor had come every other day to check on me as he gave me different types of medicine. It messed with my body so much I felt like I was gonna throw up every second and my body was in fatigue. I still continued to take the medication that was prescribed to me by my original doctor.
"Peyton?" Her soft voice...
Everything around me. I felt annoyed. I want to be alone... I don't wanna talk to anyone and I hate everything around me. My grades for school completely dropped.

My hunger has downgraded. I began to eat less and less. Everything that was good began to look disgusting.
I threw up everyday and my health wasn't getting any better. My body started to heat up at random times and some of the time I'd pass out by exhaustion.
Anna's been there by my side ever since day 1. I know she hasn't been sleeping because of me and it's my fault.
My fault... she's not been eating... she hasn't been sleeping. She kept taking care of me and she hasn't focused on herself... I've managed to screw everything up with a choice.
"Peyton... hey look at me..." Anna guided my head to face her.
The tears that were streaming down my face showed every emotion I had left of me.
"Your okay... right? Are you gonna be okay?" She asked me before pulling me into a hug.
I didn't say anything. She felt warm both my body has been too cold to feel anything. And I don't mean by temperature. I mean by my feelings have turned cold and I've managed to make whatever I do turn into a cold action. Like I didn't care anymore.
I don't have a care in this world. And honestly I wouldn't mind if I died... the pain would be gone. Anna would finally have a break. Paxton doesn't have to be protective of me. And I would be free of Jackson forever...
"I don't want you here..." I said before Anna pulled away from me.
"What?" She asked and I shook my head.
"I don't want you here. I want you to go away." I said and my voice made it sound so cold...
Her eyes were hurt. Her body was tense... her hand was shaking... I didn't want this but my brain and my body told me to tell her to get out.
"Pey-" she said before I cut her off.
"Get out Anna." This time I was told intently to tell her to get out.
Her eyes... the tears made her eyes look good with a sea-green act. They were mixed with blue and green. The glassy eyes turned.
She got up before she gave me a kiss on the forehead before leaving. Realizing she swapped sweatshirts. She took mine and left hers.
"Peyton? Why did Anna leave?" Paxton showed up to my door.
Paxton came up to me has she cupped my cheeks. I slapped her hands away from me before pushing her away.
"Get out!! Please everyone just fucking go away!" I didn't mean for it to sound rude but I wanted everything and everyone to just fucking go away.
"Peyton..." she whispered.
Footsteps came to the door as I see Lucas. Paxton looked like she was about to cry. My eyes were already watering. Lucas started to get close to me before I managed to push him away too.
"GET OUT!!" I yelled standing up. I realized I ripped up half the tubes in my arm.
The rapid beeping made everything worse. Everything seemed so loud and it hurt.
My mom and dad came in. Mom took Paxton and Lucas out before my dad started to get closer to me.
"Stop please... make it stop..." I said as I was sobbing loudly.
"It's okay... your gonna be okay." My dad said before he got close.
I wasn't able to push him away. He fought too me and I struggled relentlessly against him when I felt a needle down my neck. My entire body turned weak. Next my eyes and I passed out...

Swindle
—A Celebration of all things chess... Shounen Sports–manga Style. Anasthese is the current reigning World Champion for the Junior Chess Female Division. For years, she's wanted nothing more than to beat the Male Division Champion, Rei. These two are considered prodigies way ahead of their age; none of their peers even come close to holding a candle against them. But be that as it may, Anasthese too, cannot hold a candle to Rei... She's never beaten Rei once he's serious. Anasthese has always considered Rei the best of her generation. It's her lifelong goal to beat and surpass him. That's why, when Rei's cancer had become fatal after their 3rd year running, Anasthese took it hard. Rei will die, with her never having beaten him, not even once. Things take an unexpected turn when Rei reveals that he is far from the "invincible" player Anasthese envisions him to be. Even he has someome he could never beat, not even if his life depended on it... a fellow apprentice who studied with him under GM Amane. A guy so-called "Net". This enrages Anasthese. A person stronger than Rei should not exist. Because if he did, then what has all her efforts for the past years been for? And if this Net "does" exist, why doesn't he challenge Rei for the title? Rei tells her it's not that simple... Net's playstyle is void. It's an enigma. It's chess that should not exist, and should physically not be possible to play. It goes against all logic, and it's power is not something that can be measured in numbers. It's something that would "absolutely not work" in a professional setting. Anasthese attends Rei's funeral as a last rite before setting off for Japan, bound towards the disintegrating Futenma Shintenkan Highschool chessclub, of which there are only two members left: Mukuro and Net. She has to see it with her own eyes, a playstyle that Rei lost to... And as Anasthese stays for the long-term, various misadventures are started at Futenma High, including rebuildung the club, Anasthese's "Royal Guards" (four girls dedicated to serving Anasthese and helping challenge Rei) coming to take her back to America, and unexpected guests gracing the local Sports Meet chess scene. From a guy who can only play well everytime money's involved, to a girl who plays on a weird "Magical Girls vs Orcs" chess set, get introduced to the quirky playstyles that make chess wonderful. (Disclaimer: I am not a chess pro, I'm only 1400. Expect me to have no idea what I'm talking about at certain times...)

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
