Max's POV
I swear, if I have to listen to more of Carter's annoying, pervey comments, I will stop, drop, and roll out of this moving car. WITHOUT hesitation.
So when we roll up into our driveway, I say "thank god!" as I jump out of the car. Jules and Carter stay in the car while Tyler gets out. "I'm just gonna drop of Julie guys, be good." He points at Tyler, smirking. "see ya Jules." I said sticking up a hand. She smiled and waved back. "Bye!"
They drove off and it was soon, just me and Tyler, alone. We don't speak as we enter the house. The cold hits me and I sigh, loving this cool air. I can feel my sun burn start to approach my skin. Mainly on my back and legs. I HATE sunburns. Almost as much as I hate Alex and Tyler.
More Alex than Tyler.
Right now anyway.
Soon it will change, I know it. I always get tricked so just throw it at me. it's already getting dark outside and I decided to just take a shower and put on some aloe. I think that's what it's called. So I jog to my dresser and grab Toms big batman shirt and a change of panties and a bra before going to the shower.
As I'm in there, washing my hair and body, I'm thinking of what to say to Tyler.
Why did you draw me? Were you jealous today of Alex? What was wrong with you? Are you alright?
You know what, I'll just wing it. I quickly get out and get dressed. I brush my hair and teeth before pulling my wet hair into a pony tail. I walk out and pull my shirt over my butt. I stalk into the living room. Im getting more comfortable without my shorts on around Tyler. Im just half he doesn't say any sexual comment on it.

I sit on the couch beside him, He's shirtless and I'm pants less. Great pair! (sarcasm.) what do u say to him? How do I start the conversation?
Well, Tyler answers that for me.
"You want to watch a movie or something?" I look over at him and nod. He doesn't smile or show any emotion as he turns to the TV and turns on 'Blended' starting Adam sandler. I wasn't about to tell him, Ive seen this movie plenty of times. I'd much rather watch a scary movie though.
I stand and walk towards the kitchen. "You want some popcorn?" I offer. He nods and looks over at me from the dark living room. Then stands.
Why is this so awkward between us?
He walks over ini the kitchen as I put the popcorn in the oven. "So about today.,..... why'd you kiss Alex?" He asked. Why did he care? No seriously, why?
"Why?"
"I just want to know, I thought you were pissed at him."
"I was. I am. I didn't kiss him back, by the way." I tell him.
Ring!
I grab a big bowl and get the popcorn from the microwave. I put it in the bowl and turn back to Tyler. His head hung jut as low as his pants did. "oh...." He mumbled.
"Why do you acre anyways? It's none of your business." I say, a little rudely. He sighs before turning and walking back into the living room. Slumping down onto the couch. I follow him after turning off the kitchen light.
"I just wanted to know, princess." He says. I Shake my head and sit down beside him, his leg briskly touching mine. "lets just watch the movie."

I can't breath. I can't see. I can't move. I feel like I'm frozen. Or surrounded in suffocating steam. I'm in the steam room! No! Help! Get me out!

I open my eyes, although its still like their closed.
Wait a minute.......
I'm in a different part of that steam room. I see MY body lying, useless on the floor. Im seeing this from a different point of view. Or just as a ghost. Why though?
The door to the team room burst open, letting the steam drag out the door. The cold, fresh air takes its place. The boys entering the room don't even seem to notice me, well not me, they see the body of me.
I automatically notice Tyler and chase. As the other two boys that I don't know, laugh their asses off with chase, Tyler runs to my side. He bends down and puts the side of his head on my chest. He leans back up. "She's not breathing!" He yelled. The guys stop laughing and go to my other sides.
Tyler puts one hand on my chest with his other hand over it. He pumps it up and down a couple times and nothing has happened. In a panic, he leans down and puts his lips against mine to give me CPR.
Then everything blurs out.
And my old nightmare goes through my head again, awaking me with tears and screams.

A Will Eternal
A Will Eternal is the fourth major xianxia novel by the renowned Er Gen. It tells the tale of Bai Xiaochun, an endearing but exasperating young man who is driven primarily by his fear of death and desire to live forever, but who deeply values friendship and family. The story takes place in the same Universe as Er Gen's other novels, but is a separate story and can be read alone. That said, it does have connections to the other novels, especially I Shall Seal the Heavens. Those connections only pertain to a handful of chapters, so you can read the novel as a whole and enjoy it without first reading ISSTH. However, the best reading experience would begin with the later portions of ISSTH. This novel is much more comedic and light-hearted than Er Gen's previous works, although it has its fair share of action and drama. For a more detailed introduction, check out this video by the translator himself!

Stories Of Indlu
“… to grow, for opportunity, for adventure, to be free. Join the colony ship Nao Vittoria. Be the first to live amongst the stars.” It was obvious from the literature that the NextStar corporation wanted the young, the adventurous and the brilliant. So why were the super rich fighting over seats? Why were AI’s trying to stow away? Did this signify a premature end to human/AI civilisation? Why had some questions directed to NextStar been aggressively sidelined? Why did the colonist inflight entertainment trial produce fatalities? In fact, why colonists at all? Those and many other questions, however, boiled down to a single central question. Why was the world’s most advanced AI dumped with a hundred year babysitting job for 50 million people speeding towards an uninhabitable planet? It made such little sense. The only sure way to get answers, catch a ride on the Nao Vittoria and play the inflight entertainment game, Pax Domini. I joined, and this is my story. Well, I feature. OK, I’m more of a spectator. Actually, I’m completely irrelevant I was just there. I’m only the storyteller. But what a story to tell. --------- Hi All, Content will be published weekly usually Saturday and typical posts will be 25oo to 4ooo words per post. Though for some reason the Royal Road word count does not include the content of tables so some posts may not appear to meet this criteria. Currently I have written sufficient unedited content to keep this schedule for the next 12 months (half way through the first story arc). My current productivity would indicate that I can maintain this schedule for well into the second story arch. This also allows for the additional content that will be posed exclusively on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/StoriesOfIndlu). This additional content follows minor characters, peripheral events, maps and other content that does not take away from the main story. I would love to accelerate the post schedule but to meet this I need the assistance of more beta readers than I currently have. So please let me know if you are interested. - Andy ©2022 Andy Leauter.
