《The Secretary》Home Again
Advertisement
When we got back to Jensen's house, all the lights were shut off, and the door locked.
As I waited for Jensen to unlock the door with one hand, his other hand holding onto mine, I couldn't help but wonder why he stayed with me so long in the hospital.
Jensen opened the door and pulled me inside after him, taking me to kitchen, and sitting me down on a bar stool next to the counter.
"Let's clean that up okay?" He said.
"Clean up what?" I asked him before he left my side.
He pointed to my arm where the IV used to be. It was bloody, as expected, but even more so due to the needle tearing new skin as it ripped out.
Jensen kneeled down and reached into one of the cupboards, pulling out a first aide kit. He reached in and pulled out a gauze, some medical tape, and an antiseptic wipe.
"This might sting a little, but I have to clean it up okay. Don't freak out on me." Jensen said. I couldn't tell if he was joking or not.
He pressed the antiseptic wipe onto the cut directly, and cleaning the rest of the blood of my arm with a wet towelette. I could feel the alcohol of the antiseptic cleaning my wound, and like Jensen said, it stung, but not enough that I couldn't bear it.
After Jensen cleaned the wound, he pressed a gauze to it to stop the bleeding, even though it seemed as only a little was bleeding.
"Tell me if it's to tight okay?" He asked as he glanced up at me while pulling out the medical tape.
I nodded my head, watching as his calloused hands moved the tape easily around my arm, and watching as his arm flex as he ripped the tape, cutting it.

"We'll leave that one for a little bit, then later I'll give you an actual bandage okay?" He said as he cleaned everything up, putting it all back into the medical kit, and putting the kit back into the cupboard.
I watched him as he did so, seemingly unfazed that I freaked on him earlier. He did the dishes that were in the sink, rinsing off the dishes, and then putting them into the dishwasher.
His phone started ringing, without looking up his said, "Could you grab that for me?"
"Sure." I said as I reached across the counter and checked the caller ID. It was just Jared.
"Hey Jared." I said, pressing the phone to my ear.
"Jensen, where's y/n? I took Jj to the hospital because she really wanted to see her, but the chick at the desk said she wasn't there." Jared said quietly and quickly.
"Jared, I want to see her!" I heard Jj whine in the background.
"Jared, it's me y/n." Was all I could get out.
"Y/n?! Where are you? And why do you have Jensen's phone? Did you steal it from him and run? I know how much you hate hospitals and I swear to god if you did anything to-"
"Jared! Stop! I'm right next to Jensen. I'm at his house okay? Everything is fine. I just had a freak at the hospital but I'm fine now okay. Everything's good." I quickly cut him off.
"How do I know you're not lying?" Jared asked, well more like sneered.
I scoffed and put the phone on speaker.
"Jared stop giving her crap. She already has enough on her plate. And before you ask, I signed her out of the hospital when the doctor came in." He said.

"Wait what?" I said, shocked. Technically you can't sign out of a hospital until your doctor allows you to, especially for my case.
Jensen looked at me, 'I'll explain later.' He mouthed. I nodded my head, showing him that I understood.
"Oh." Jared's voice cracked through the phone. "Jared, where are we going? I want to see Y/n!" I heard Jj squeal.
"Jared put Jj on the phone." I said.
"Okay." I heard Jared say as he handed the little girl the phone. One all of the noise settled on the other end, I spoke.
"Jj?" I asked. No answer. "Jj, it's me
y/n. Can you hear me?"
"Yeah I can hear you. Where are you?" She asked.
"Well I'm not in the hospital anymore, I'm at your dad's. Did you still want to go to the beach with me?"
"Yeah! And I wanna go swimming with you in the ocean too, and make sandcastles with you, and-"
"Okay, okay Jj. We can still go, we just have to check with your dad first okay?"
"Okay." She said.
I looked at Jensen, who was staring at me with a smirk on his face. "Of course we can still go."
Jj screamed on the other end. "Jared guess what? I'm going to the beach with y/n and Jensen because they're awesome! And there's nothin' you can do about it!"
Jensen and I burst out laughing at Jj's little remark.
"You guys are going to the beach?" Jared's voice rang though.
"Yeah, listen Jar, I have some explaining to do so can I call you back?" Jensen said.
"Yeah that's fine, when do you want to pick up Jj?" He asked.
"We'll drop by around 5 or 6 tonight okay?"
"Alright sounds good. See you guys later then?"
"Yeah." Jensen said then took the phone from my hand and ended the call.
"I think I have some explaining to do." He said as he walked around the counter, walking up to my side.
"And I have a few question I would like to ask."
He smiled a little and looked to the floor, then back up at me, sitting down in the barstool next to me.
"Ask away." He said, taking my hand in his.

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6

Statless
Summary Alexander Weiss, an intelligent and slightly unusual man, always dreamt of becoming a mage. Sadly, reality is harsh and even his best efforts never allowed him to achieve his goal during his lifetime... or did they? One has to be careful what they wish for, lest they might live to see it fulfilled. Description Follow Alex, a man whose pursuit of magic could not even be stopped by his non-magical reality, going as far as to create it himself, only to encounter an unsurmountable obstacle shortly before achieving his lifes goal, denying him all access to these powers. His journey will take him through a miraculous world, full of wonders, magic and manic beasts trying to devour him! He will learn much about this world during his adventures, exploring individual aspects of the System and the various monsters that came from it... or did they? Strong points What you'll get from this novel is the following (read with overly enthusiastic salesman-voice) : • An ending! I'll complete it, no matter what. Well, not "no matter what", but as long as I don't unexpectedly end, this novel won't either! • Good grammar! Might not be perfect, but it's definitely good enough to not detract from the story in the slightest. I'll also fix any reported mistakes as soon as possible, be they grammatical, syntactical or just inconsistencies. • No plot-armor! Or plot-weapons! Or plot-... potions? And no plot-holes! If you see some, it's most likely information that is being witheld for future revelations! But in the (hopefully) very unlikely case of such a vile beast being encountered, please inform me immediately and I'll see to slaying it without grace! (Translation: If you see plot-holes, tell me and I'll fix them) • Logic! [Hidden : Spoilers][Hidden : More Spoilers] [Moved to Chapter [Hidden Spoiler]'s Author's Note] Marvelous, I know! • Blue Boxes! And maybe something more! • Sensible retroactive edits! Not to be confused with radioactive edits! You'll not have to re-read previous chapters, even if they get some major edits. If they were to receive new information, I'll add that very information to the newly released chapters too, in a reasonable way. • Realism! Shocking, I know! Especially considering the tag related to that and the point about "Logic!". This also means that the story will be... well, realistically depicting a pretty messed up world. Don't expect bunnies... at least not cute ones. • Relatively faster paced! No long and boring descriptions of irrelevant stuff. There will be some longer descriptions about important things, but that's gonna be necessary world- and/or character-building! • Short action! Might not be a plus for some, but you won't have to look at a whole (or, god forbit, multiple) chapter describing a fight against the same enemy... • Strategy and hard progression! It's a dog-eat-dog world! No grinding/power-creep! If you're up against three enemies of your level at once, you've already lost! • Understanding! It will be mostly about discovering the wonders of this new world and how it became like that, all while trying to survive. So there will be enough action nonetheless! • Humor! Sometimes dark, sometimes light, always at the worst moment! • Constructive critics, welcome! Destructive critics, nope... I can handle criticism though, so don't go easy on me! Just make sure it's really a mistake when complaining about something. • Will add more in the future! If I can think of more stuff...
