Jess's P.O.V
I silently walked towards my house. Tears began to trickle down my tanned face and my breathing began to become unsteady. Suddenly I feel two arms wrap around my torso. I smile warmly at my little boy , who is hugging me. He was like a spitting image of his father and I could tell that he is going to be a wonderful, young man. It's a shame that they never really got to spend time with their Dad before he pasted away and Julia was only a baby so she would no recollection of him. I slowly walked towards my door with my daughter in my arms and my son at my side. When I walked in I saw chaos. Ross looked like he was about to get murdered by mad Max, no surprise there. However what really shocked me was seeing Aaron and Jin fighting. Everyone one else was to caught up in a heated argument to notice me walk in. I swiftly ushered my kids up stairs. "Can you quieten down please," I said as my head pounded. They must have not noticed me still. I say it a little louder but they still don't realise that I am here. I sigh in defeat before yelling, "I swear to god if you all don't shut your mouths right now, I will not hesitate to snap all your legs in half!" That seemed to catch their attention. I scanned my caramel eyes over my friends with disappointment. I raised my eyebrow and crossed my arms, waiting for an explanation. The silence was slowly eating away at me but I didn't dare open my mouth.
"Aaron said something bad about Jason..." Jin said quietly as he stared at the wooden floor. The fact that he was terrified was evident in his voice. "What did you say?" I dangerously asked as I slowly turned my head towards Aaron. "That he was probably abusive and that's why you left him..." He said cautiously so he didn't trigger something. Well it was to late now. "Don't you dare say anything about my family!" I snapped at him. He flinched at my voice of tone. "Jason died trying to save Julia and he was a damn well good father!" I barked as I felt my eyes darken. Aaron to a step back as I took a step forward. "I never wanted to leave him but if I bring him back to life he would only return to suffering and pain..." I say and I mumble the last part. I breath in and out to slow my racing hart. "I am leaving tonight if you wish to join then you can, I am not going to stop you, but it's going to be a long journey," I say a little more calmly. Everyone looks up at me with wide eyes. I then walk silently upstairs to get a few things.

As I was packing I felt a hand land on my shoulder. I turned to see Aaron, who flashed me a sorrowful smile. "It's going to be okay," He says calmly to me. I really wanted to believe him but I just couldn't. "Sing us a song, I know it always calms you down," He says as he sits near Joseph and a sleeping Julia. I sighed and sat on my bed. I might as well go with it.
Start song
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Let me just give up
Let me just let go
If this isn't good for me
Well, I don't wanna know
Aaron looked at my with sympathetic eyes. I looked at my hands and fiddled with my thumbs. "I made it from the top of my head," I say slightly above a whisper.I can still feel his gaze on me as well as Josephs. Your voice is outstandingly beautiful!" He says as his dark eyes widen. Surprise laces his voice and a flame of excitement ignites in his eyes. I smile thankfully at him and he grins at me, showing his pearly white teeth. Joseph has a small smile on his little face as his sister snores gently whilst leaning on his shoulder. Aaron coughed in attempt to break the silence. "Did you know that Travis knew this whole time," He said in attempt to change the subject. I decide to go with it. I shrugged and nodded at the same time. "I thought he would know but I wasn't absolutely sure, I was going to check but I wasn't sure what I wanted to say because if he didn't he would know for sure," I rambled a little. Aaron opened his mouth to say something but his phone rang and he answered. "Hey Melissa......... Fine, you? ......... Okay..... Yep ........ Oh okay, here" He said then handed the phone to me so I could speak to his sister. "Hey girl!" I hear her say. I smile to myself. "Sup," I say in a random voice. I could practically hear her grin. "How are you?" She asked. I instantly froze. Should I tell her? Might as well. "Not too good, honestly," I say. Aaron was staring at me this whole time. "What happened?" She asked with concern. "It's a long story, could you come down?" I ask her. She says yes and quickly hangs up. Now to wait for Melisa.

I trotted down stairs and heard a knock on the door. Everyone's eyes fell on me like a tone of house bricks and burned through my skull. I felt like I was going to melt into a puddle of emotions under their stairs, as I walked over to the door. Once I open the door I saw a worried Melissa. I quickly rushed inside so she didn't get soaked to the skin by the rain that just started. She looked surprise by the amount of people in our house. " Melisa, I would like you to meet my friends Adam/Sky , Ross , Mad Max, Corey, Red , Barney and my brother, JIn," I say as I point to them accordingly. "And Joseph, my son," I say quietly. "You have kids?" She yells in surprise as she dramatically flung her arms up into the air. I nodded as I sat down and patted the space next to me to signal for her to sit beside. She did and I rested my head on her shoulder. "Get comfortable because this is going to be one hell of a long story,"
A/N
This was the only free day I had so I decided to write a chapter. This story is coming to an end and I am really happy for what it has turned out to be. I couldn't thank all of you enough for your support and thank you so much for so many reads.

Polyrhythm Time -- A Bard's Tail
Have you ever met someone who loves what they do so much that they'll skip sleep, food, love and safety to pursue it? What happens if that kind of person encounters a different dimension, yet holds on to their love of music, and specifically of rock drumming.When the world ended at the end of 2057, Kevin Snackenbridge slept through it. He'd been drumming all night. tl;dr-- System eats world -- Monsters and magic ---- LitRpg -- Practice, not levels and stats ---- MC Bard -- support class -- low power ---- MC chooses music over survival skills --tl;dr Kevin trips into the Internal Strength Dimension where Thaumaturgy is king. With the help of a talking plant and several vicious monkeys he learns that the rule is "Change or die." Kevin changes, but remains firmly a drummer/Bard in this high fantasy setting. This is Kevin's adventure, and that of the friends he meets. Kevin has the soul of a real musician. He loves music, specifically rhythm and drumming, and would give his left nut if it would help him drum better. He's a rock drummer, and his language is that of a rock drummer: slanged, duded, and frequently laced with profanity. He focuses on music, and makes decisions that even the author doesn't approve of. However, that means all his decisions are Kevin's decisions, not those of a system-optimizing power-gamer. There's points (All of Arc 2) where he wanders aimlessly. Goals seem foreign to him at points. What would you do if you were a musician, and the world fell apart and you no longer had an audience or band-mates. You'd be kinda lost. Kevin is. Arc 2 is a lot of Kevin not knowing what to do, going with the flow, and not being articulate enough to know that he doesn't know what to do. 1. Chapters start short near 500 words, and grow to 12-1500 by ch.100 2. Chapters daily

Home of Laplace
I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar mountain peak standing tall above me like seeing a skyscraper from the street. Soon the chilling burn of the snow that covered me began to invade my senses and I flung my torso upward, sitting up straight. I grabbed my head in confusion as my eyes surveyed the area around me: The corner of a mountain wall stood menacingly in front of me accompanied by thin, dangerous looking paths on either side. The likes of which only adrenaline-seeking psychopaths would use. I turned my head backwards and felt my heart drop as what looked like an infinitely long freefall met my gaze. I was sitting on the ledge of a snow-covered mountain. "CRKKKK" A heart-shaking croaking sounded from above me further up the mountain and I jolted backwards at the impossibly loud sound. 'Shit, wasn't there nothing behind me?' The sound of cracking stone accompanied the heart dropping sensation of descension. As I plunged down backwards, the last thing I saw was the deep-set brown eyes of that blue-skinned monstrosity further up the mountain. ----------------------------------------------------- Levi Laplace is a former genius biochemistry student that died a simple and laughable death on earth.
