《Why Dont You Love Me?》Chapter 1
Advertisement
"Megan Mckinley! You better have that room packed and finished by the end of this day." My step-mother called up the stairs.
"Yes mom." I called back. I looked around my halfpacked room and sighed before finally pulling myself off of my bed and picking some stuff up. I tore down all my posters, picked up some useless things and threw them all in the trash. I pursed my lips and placed my hands on my hips then walked over to my door and closed it.
"Now," I said to myself. I picked up my iPod and plugged it into the dock, and pressed play. I was shocked when I heard how loud it was. I laughed and started dancing around while picking some stuff up. I threw my clothes into a big box not even bothering to fold or do anything to them. I giggled and plopped back down on my bed and sang along to the music.
If I could fall into the sky, do you think time would pass me by?
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles..
If I could just see you tonight.
I giggled a bit then picked up my phone as I always do, just to see if I had any messages. And I didnt. It wasnt anything new. I heard a knock on my door.
"It's open!" I called out. Liz opened the door a few minutes later, looking a posh as ever. I rolled my eyes a bit then bit my lip.
"Hi Liz." I said quietly.
"Hi." She replied dryly. "Did you take my mascara again?"
"No."
She rolled her eyes then crossed her arms. "If you did, I swear Megan, I will kill you." She walked back out, slamming my door shut. I sighed quietly and looked down at my hands. I hated being in this family sometimes. I really did. My own twin hates me. Liz isn't bad all the time, just most of the time.. She started acting like this when Susan came into her life. My mother up and dissapeared and my dad's in jail, leaving me with my step mom and Liz. Not exactly a Cinderella story, but somewhat. My friend Chris likes to joke around and tell me I'll be famous one day. I smirked at the thought of actually being famous. It's everyone's dream but only few make it. I sighed then rubbed my face and frowned when the song changed to Bleed. I dont know why I was frowning. I'm utterly in love with this band. To be specific, the lead singer; Ryan. I sighed dreamily and smiled to myself feeling the butterflies in my stomach go nuts. I didnt even know him, so why do I act like this? It may be because of the fact he's the closest thing to happiness I have in my life. Him and my guitar, which is named Nash, who is the lead guitarist of the band.

"MEGAN!" I heard. I walked out of my room and looked over the railing to downstairs.
"Yes?" I asked quietly.
"Get down here." My stepmom growled. I swallowed walked downstairs and over to her. She looked at me with a vindictive look then smirked and held up my guitar... Which was broken into two seperate pieces. I swallowed and looked at her.
"What happened to my guitar?"
"It got into a little accident." She shrugged and handed it over to me. I looked at it and frowned. My guitar.. Broken.. My life is not shattered. I pursed my lips and looked at my stepmom.
"It doesnt just get into an accident!" I nearly half yelled. "You broke it!"
She raised her eyebrows and looked at me. "I broke it?" She repeated. She took a few steps towards me. Her green eyes narrowed and started shooting daggers at me.
"Well, it doesnt just break.." I murmered.
I was her blood boil in her eyes as she raised her hand up and slapped me straight across my face. I fetl a shock of pain go through my entire face as I hit the ground with a thud.
"Dont. Ever. Speak to me like that. Again. Got it?" She hissed. I felt hot tears streaming down my face. It just burned. It didnt hurt. It burned very badly. I swallowed and winced then looked up at her and nodded.
"Yes maam." I said bitterly. She walked off, leaving me on the floor with a burning desire to just go. I got up slowly and wiped my tears away. I walked slowly back up the stairs and into the bathroom. I sniffled as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. My cheek was red but it didnt look like it was going to bruise. I sighed in relief then ran my fingers through my hair. I walked back out and went into my room. I looked around the now fully packed room and laid on my bed. I pulled my laptop out and got onto Twitter. I had a bunch of followers due to Liz and I being on YouTube, but unfortunately that also means I have a lot of haters. I pursed my lips a bit and went into compose new tweet and started typing.

Ryan's POV
I looked around at the full bus of people and bursted out into laughter. Nash was trying to keep a straight face, Ian was biting his lower lip and creasing his eyebrows together while Jamie was.. Well... Being Jamie. We were playing GoFish. An easy game, right? Well.. Aparently not. Nash couldnt stop cheating and Ian was horribly confused.
"So.. Uhm.." Ian said, blinking. "Do we say Go Fish when we only have one card left.. or..?" I smacked my forehead and laughed.
"No! You say Go Fish when you dont have the card the person asks for." I replied. Ian nodded then tilted his head to the side.
"Ryan?" Nash asked, smirking. "Do you have a 8?"
I nodded then gave him my 8 card and smirked. "Cheater." I laughed.
"I am not! Jamerson? 3?" Nash smiled cutely at Jamie. Jamie handed him his card and chuckled. Nash then looked at Ian and wiggled his eyebrows.
"Got any.... 9's?"
"I QUIT!" Ian threw his cards all over then left the table and walked away. We all bursted out into laughter and put our cards down.
"Ian!" I laughed.
"No! Dont talk to me. I hate that game! It cheats!" He frowned.
"No, the cheater is Nash over here." I smiled. Nash laughed and nodded before raising his left hand.
"Guilty." He smiled evilly.
"GUYS!" Cameron yelled from the back.
"WHAT?" We all yelled back in unison. We waited a few minutes before he realized none of us we're going to go back there and walked out to us.
"Lazy." He joked.
"Whaaaatttt did you want from us?" I laughed.
"You guys are set to write AND record another album! They want more. They really like Tonight Tonight and want more music like that. So RCA has decided to let you guys write more and record!"
I blinked a few times before jumping up out of my seat.
"Are you serious?!" Ian yelled. My eyes went out of my skull and I can honestly say I have never felt so happy in my entire life.
"No." Cameron rolled his eyes. "I'm just telling you this to get your guys' hopes up then let them crash and burn to the ground." He crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows and looked at Ian.
"....well damn. There goes my excitement." Ian frowned.
"Oh my god, Ian! YOU'RE WRITING ANOTHER ALBUM. Well, all of you are. But still! This is good news!"
I smiled hugely and nodded then clapped my hands together and got onto twitter. I hti compose new tweet and started typing.
I GOTS NEWS- @HotChelleRae's second album is going underway! BE PUMPED.
Send.
Within seconds I got tons of mentions and replies back. I couldnt be happier right now. I smiled hugely and looked around at everyone else who had the same facial expression's as I did.
Now, just to find some more inspiration to find songs to write about..

Of Righteous Evil
To wield the magical Arts. The power to manipulate nature itself. Follow Silas on his journey as he learns what it means to be a Mage. With war brewing on the horizon, Silas' plan to become a hero clashes with the harsh reality of conflict. Torn between contradicting emotions, he will have to reconsider his perceptions of both good and evil. Does the end truly never justify the means? Note from author (13.09.20): Sentences have been shortened, less commata used. Paragraphs have been split up. Meant to be "realistic" fantasy, with no overpowered protagonist or evil sorcerer trying to destroy the world. The focus lies on the characters, their progressions and their inner conflicts, coupled with an intricate magic system. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated! HIATUS Updates: 12.12.20 Chapter 1 & 2 are written together. The backstory of the parents will be integrated into one of the later chapters. 20.12.20 Prologue has been rewritten, fight added. Will now continue writing the chapters until the first arch is finished. 19.01.21 Chapter 15 is written. Will hopefully be able to write more from now on, university has been kinda rough these days. 08.04.21 Chapter 16 & 17 has been written. Beginning will be rewritten (again) to start with chapter 3. Chapter 1 & 2 will be shown through reocurring dreams / nightmares. 10.08.21 Rewriting of the first arc is complete and has been proofread twice. Plot of rest of book one is 80% complete. Will publish chapters once first book is finished and proofread. 06.12.21 Second arc is finished (chapter 24/31-33). First draft will likely be finished around February, after which I will edit a few suggestions of my beta readers and publish it on RR. Release schedule: Once a week on Sunday, chapters are around 3000 words long. (HIATUS, see last chapter for more info) Cover art by Riverman09

The Immortal Epic
After all that happened... I do think I would thank dr Errhart if I were back to the day this all started, knowing all that happened after. Of course, if I were back on the day this all started with the implied knowledge, I would take and play with his soul in retribution. Oh, how have I grown since then. I'm almost nostalgic. Almost. To tell you the truth, I don't really remember the first days. Yes, I remember me working at the facility, with all the downs and downs but after the experiment, those first days afterwards, I can't bring for the life of me those moments in the cold dark broken room to mind. I never did discover what happened during the experiment. What could occur to burn the whole facility to a crisp and shut down both the main and emergency power supply? Dr Errhart always seemed to fail in impossible ways. When I got out of that underground tomb, I discovered what the experiment did to the world. Beast and monsters feed on the unprotected if left to fester, powerful men from the remnants of my old world have risen up to take their own and might takes up new forms. Oh, and here you must be perplexed. I totally forgot to tell. While the experiment doomed many in the facility and the world above, which wouldn't have happened had they not ignored my notes on the project, I feel like it was all worth it. For at the cost of the precious but secret arcanium, we got our greatest tool yet. Magic.
