《Mistake // Jonah Marais》T H I R T Y - S I X
Advertisement
Oh, how much I wish what was currently happening was all a bad dream caused by a landslide of my self doubt finally breaking me. But unfortunately for me, it wasn't.
They say heartbreak only makes you stronger, but Jonah and I had only been together for one month. If one month alone was enough for someone to realize I wasn't good enough for them, then how can I possibly ever learn to be comfortable in a relationship without the constant fear I'm trying to hard or that they're going to do exactly what Jonah had done.
The one question I had was why. Why wasn't I good enough for him? Why wasn't I enough? Why couldn't he talk to me instead of going behind my back and doing something that is going to tear me apart for longer than it should?
I'm not usually the sensitive type. I don't like laying my emotions or feelings out for everyone to see or hear, but how could you not when the person who is supposed to love you or care for you unconditionally decides to shatter your heart by a simple act they thought they could keep from you?
The worst part of my current situation would be the fact that the boys obviously knew, but didn't think I deserved to know. Sure, Jonah probably told them to keep quiet and not say anything to me, but how could you keep something that big from someone you call a friend?
Jonah was currently staring at me, his face full of apology but no words seemed to escape. I could only imagine what I looked like. My eyes were probably red and tear stained, as my tears seem overwhelming and unable to stop.
"Why?" I managed to croak out, "I thought you cared about me..."

Jonah attempted to grab my hand, only for me to pull away resulting in him sitting on the chair he was previously located at and rubbing his hands over his face. "I don't know, Brinley. I really don't. I love you, more than anything. She was just some fan I met after a show and gave me her number. It went to far and I know that. I promise it won't happen again."
"A promise is only a thing." I took his hoodie that I was wearing and say it on his lap, "I'll book a plane ticket and leave first thing in the morning, then you can have Kyndall and be happy with her since that's obviously what you want."
He abruptly stood up and shook his head. "No! I don't want Kyndall and I don't want you to leave. You can't, we can fix this. I'm stupid and made a dumb mistake and I know that."
I threw my hands up in an obvious show of my anger, "You made a a dumb mistake?! How is telling a girl she is beautiful, and that you'd do anything for her, or that she means the most to you or is the light of your life a dumb mistake? You led a fan on, that's what is the most hard thing to wrap my head around here. How could you do that to someone who supported you and looked up to you? I don't even care that you cheated at this point, but to find out she was a fan who basically made you is the worse part of this all. Is that where you've been going when you leave me randomly? To go and see this girl and make her think she has a chance?"

He once again stood there, not knowing what to say or two scared to say anything at my sudden outburst. I'm not usually an angry person, but situations like these are what bring out the bad side of me.
"Don't talk to me for the rest of the day. I'm leaving tonight and you can't say anything to stop me."
And with that, I turned around and walked away from the so called love of my life, not caring that tears were streaming down his or my face. Not caring that the look of heartbreak was written all over his face.
All I cared about was that I finally saw what kind of person Jonah was, and that it was revealed before I got to attached to this relationship.
A relationship that is now over. Permanent.

8 642Hazelsong: A LitRPG Novel
Release Schedule: I will be moving to a set release schedule as of 1/1/2022. A new chapter will be released every Saturday at Noon EST. If I have time that week for a second chapter, I will leave a note on the Saturday chapter and post the second chapter on Sunday at Noon EST. An up to date character sheet for the MC Erik will also be posted on Sundays at 12:15 PM. If life happens and I am for some reason unable to write that week, I will post a blank chapter giving you an update on where I am with my writing. Saturday Noon EST: First weekly chapter Sunday Noon EST: Second weekly chapter (if I have the time) Sunday 12:15 EST: Updated character sheet Synopsis: Years after surviving a deadly accident, Erik struggles to come to terms with his painful disability. When offered the chance to playtest the world's first full immersion VRMMO, he wants nothing more than to retreat back into his secluded life, until he learns what Hazelsong really offers. An escape from the pain. Hazelsong is a world of magic and adventure, a place where friendships are formed, loot is won, and glory and fame are there for the taking. While the threats feel real and the stakes are always high, there is only one thing Erik is really in danger of. Forgetting which world is actually real. Story Themes: Hazelsong is a LitRPG novel that not only explores the fictional world of a realistic online fantasy realm but the life of a man suffering in silence from chronic pain and PTSD due to a significant physical injury and disability. Mental health is an important subject and we all know at least one person in our lives who has or is dealing with some form of mental illness. I plan on putting my best effort forward to represent these illnesses in a fair and accurate manner. Not as a cheap plot device to help make the protagonist more unique, but to help paint an accurate picture for those of us who have been lucky enough to not have to suffer in silence. About the Author: I am Ash Durra, general video game nerd and a connoisseur of fantasy and sci-fi of all shapes and sizes. Needless to say, I am not a professional author (B.S. and M.S. in Education, 8 years teaching). After really getting into LitRPG novels over the past several years, I found my way to Royal Road, which has inspired me to use my spare time to begin writing a story of my own creation. As this is a hobby, I am not writing and posting chapters on any kind of specific schedule at the moment, though my goal is to post on average 1-2 chapters a week. I am incredibly excited to share this story with others as I write it, and I look forward to any constructive feedback about how I can improve in my writing.
8 91Robinson Crusoe (Completed)
Robinson Crusoe is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published on 25 April 1719. The first edition credited the work's protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author, leading many readers to believe he was a real person and the book a travelogue of true incidents. Epistolary, confessional, and didactic in form, the book is presented as an autobiography of the title character (whose birth name is Robinson Kreutznaer)-a castaway who spends twenty-eight years on a remote tropical desert island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers, before ultimately being rescued.

8 141The Lucky Secret
Five years ago, the Tower appeared in the Arctic circle, and people started to disappear. Not that any of this affected Cillian James, who was too busy keeping the lights on with webnovels he didn't want to write to really concern himself with some omniscient tower kidnapping people at random.That is, until Cillian is kidnapped himself, and now he has some very big problems on his hands. Namely, surviving the Tower and its homicidal salamanders and zombies and weirdly affectionate cats, and learning the truth behind the existence of the amulet titled "The Writer's Secret". Cilian isn't particularly athletic, given he spent six years glued to a computer chair, and the Tower can only give him so much strength before he's considered a lost cause, and he's not prepared in the slightest for this. He's a bit weak, he hates killing, and spends more time screaming than he does actually fighting, but if there's one thing he's got going for him, it's his impressive self-perseveration skills. But is surviving truly enough, if it changes you into someone you don't recognize? How much will he have to sacrifice before he can even call himself Cillian?
