《second best // dnf》1. George's Tweet
Advertisement
My heart was slamming in my chest; beads of sweat formed on my forehead. I gripped the phone tight in my clammy hand. I felt sick.
The low continuous humming from the ceiling fan was drumming into my skull, slowly driving me insane. Or perhaps it was the daunting idea that the one thing I wanted more than anything in life had just slipped through my fingers.
The most important thing to me in the whole god damned world had just slipped through my fingers like sand.
George had posted the tweet five hours ago, yet I find myself returning to it every twenty minutes or so, just checking it was real and not some horrid nightmare. Maybe if I squeeze my eyes shut, when I opened them again the tweet would disappear and everything would go back to normal.
But it was real. So very real.
There were two men in the photo George had posted: him and someone else. The other man had pale, brown hair and piercing blue eyes. His lips were pressed up against George's cheek and George had a huge smile across his face. The caption of the tweet read:
Hey guys, I've been thinking of telling you guys this for a while but it never really felt right until now. I was really nervous about posting this but here you go. This is my boyfriend Ezra and we've been dating for 8 months now :]
I always knew George didn't like me in that way but I always though that maybe I had a small chance of that we could work. I'd wait a million years if it meant I could be with him. But now, that small chance was gone. Now he has a boyfriend, and I was second best.
I began to scroll through the comments on George's tweet, to see how everyone else reacted.

Yayyy Gogy! Congratulations!
Omg my baby's all grown up.
I'm sooo happy for youuu <3
Woooo! My favourite gay boy!!!
Despite the misery that washed over my body, I felt my lips tug into a slight smile as I noticed that behind George in the photo, in the corner of his room, he had a large cardboard cutout of the 'dream blob' pinned to his wall. Beside that, on a wooden shelf, was the 1.5 inch elephant that I bought him. For some random reason, seeing George have this stuff in his room made me feel appreciated; even if it didn't really mean anything to him.
George is my best friend and his happiness means more than anything to me. But I felt strangely bothered about the fact, him and Ezra had been dating for eight months and didn't mention anything to me, especially about something this serious. Perhaps the reason I was so bothered was that I was jealous; George was smiling as Ezra kissed his cheek.
I was in love with GeorgeNotFound and he didn't love me back.
I felt like I was falling.
And I couldn't stop.

A Hunt Upon Wings of Shadows
Lianne has spent the last few years of her life as a nomadic monster-hunter, aimlessly taking jobs and disappearing without a trace. Her innately high ether reserves are the only thing that’s keeping her alive. After a painful yet successful contract, she receives an offer to hunt a peculiar beast from a mysterious man who- much to her dismay- pairs her with a man by the name of Sirius, a skilled swordsman with too much empathy to give out. At the same time, inside the impossibly tall walls of the divine city, a group of soldiers including a naive yet powerful girl by the name of Felicia, an exemplar soldier named Raynauld, and a scarred and aloof woman named Maria prepare to head out on a mission to deliver justice to a deserter who is reported to be in a large town far outside the lush interior of the city. However, the two groups will find that their paths will intertwine, and painful memories will push them against each other at every turn, with new monsters emerging from the shadows to pick each of them apart piece by piece. ************************** Alright, so this is the first book I've posted here, and I've been sitting on this idea for a long while. I'm open to any pieces of criticism, and I would be glad to receive tips and advice. Enjoy! Normally, new chapters come out Saturday nights, sometimes double uploads if there's a short chapter or if I feel like it. That's subject to change if I run out of the current backlog. Second note, this is the first draft, and some things (like a few characters) are going to be cut. It's still going to be the same storyline, but keep that in mind.

Chance brings together the impulsive dragon, her quiet, resolute elven friend Sauda, amiable, honor-seeking dwarf Gunnar, and the construct Ismat.
