૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა ╱ real talk sentence starters pt 2 ( created using lyrics from man overboard's real talk album. feel free to adjust to fit your muse. )
i know you're sound asleep right now and you can't hear
i'm gonna explain everything and turn this into every dream your pretty little head could ever come up with
i'm drunk with the thought of sharing these blankets right now
i think we're old enough to know
i think we're old enough that we would know better
we should know better now
i pretend that i'm already someone and all my problems faded away
i should be sound asleep right now but i'm not
i'm gonna explain everything and hope that you can hear me
your pretty little head goes undisrupted
i figured i'd go at the least to check in
i just miss her grin
to show that i didn't really never wanna see you again
my heart caves in when i look at you
this is so hard
do you take pictures off the walls when you know i'm coming to your room?
do you hide all the stuffed animals the other boys bought for you?
i wasn't surprised
she was chilling, looking hot in her bed
i kept my distance
i was a good boy
let's go home to a place we can call our own
we can live there together, be in love forever and never have to be alone
would you try?
would you leave me for some other guy?
i've been sitting without you
just thinking about you
wishing you were here inside
when you wake up you will call me
i will tell you that i miss you so
i make records so that when i'm gone you can hear me on your stereo
i think we're in love
i'm so tired
since i met you i'm always inspired
i think i could change the world if you were really my girl
we would have all we desired
looks like we're holding hands
who knows exactly what this all could be?
all i know is that i feel fine when i pretend you're mine and you lie close to me
i'm finally laying somewhere where i'm happy that i'm here
my troubles said goodbye and the heartache disappeared
i miss you most when i try to act like i don't care about the warm hands
i think that we're best friends
i like your face, that's why i stare
you're everything i hoped a girl could be
so here's a toast to laying close
i'm comfy now and i just won't leave
you and me
i'm in it for the long haul
i like you
you better come back if you're running
the rain poured down on the day that i left to hang out with you in new york
every little thing made me miss you more
i kept running
it's like i'd never been so sure of doing something stupid
doing something without thinking
i'm just trying to make a getaway to you
i'd have gone a thousand miles more
i'll meet you in your head tonight when you're in bed
the one time that i came to your house
i was freezing outside until you finally came out
you pulled me by the arm and we went around back
you glared me up and down
you say you don't remember that
we went downstairs
i saw your bedroom and stuff
i tried to say some things but you said to shut up
i looked at you
you were so damn cute
sifting through the pages of the pictures that you drew
i know you're thinking of me
you're everything that i'd hope for
i'm all the shit that you go for
stop kidding yourself now
i hate you
you should have picked up the phone tonight
open your eyes, kid
you know i'm on your side, kid
i'd like to save the world and you could be my sidekick
they'll all say our names
i've lived a lie, kid
i'd love to run and hide, kid
you could say 'fuck them all' and ditch the world like i did
the words down on the paper answer yesterday's dream
we could be untouchable

Heart's Defense
Tumblr media
Characters: A good 90% of playable characters + unreleased harbingers (not all of them tho)
Summary: How do they protect their heart from others?
CW: Kinda, really angsty..., some duplications cause I felt they fell into both sections, not proofread, maybe some OOCness, kinda an x reader but also kinda not, VERY sorry for the formatting - Tumblr has something against me for some reason???
Tumblr media
They pull you into the falsehood that they're open to telling you anything, and you're left unable to think any differently with how friendly they present themselves. Always willing to help or hang out. They lend a listening ear and before you know it they know so much more about you than you know about them. You'll be privy to surface facts, but the moment anyone asks something even remotely personal you're struck with an indescribable sense of loss. When did this friendship become so one-sided?
Childe, Venti, Hu Tao, Jean, Ayato, Zhongli, Itto, Beidou, Sara, Lisa, Heizou, Columbina
Masters of stringing the right words together at just the right time, they simply dissuade the topic to that of another. You won't notice it until it's too late - or maybe you see it right from the start but say nothing, catching the hint. But you can never miss the shift in their gaze, a quiet, unspoken sadness. Unknowingly they've revealed what they tried to hide, but you stay silent still. The least you can do is grant them this lie that keeps them from crashing and breaking.
Kaeya, Kazuha, Yae Miko, Ningguang, Beidou, Eula, Gorou, Fischl, Thoma, Yoimiya
There were never any openings to begin with, not a single way left for outsiders to wiggle their way in uninvited. You can't ask if there's no opportunity. As always thought, there are the select few that breach past the seemingly impenetrable barrier. To those people, they are met with yet another brick wall - they'll ask their unsolicited questions only to be answered with silence. Any persistence is followed with a facial warning - a blank look, a glare, a perturbing smile. Do not continue, for my sake and your ignorant bliss.
Rosaria, Diluc, Xiao, Albedo, Eula, Shinobu, Shenhe, Yelan, Baihzu, Arlecchino, Dottore, Capitano, Scaramouche, Childe
Every fiber of their being screams to share how they feel with you, a flicker of trust forever burning in their heart no matter how many times they're beaten to the ground. Humanity isn't all that bad right? They've seen it time and time again, so they continue to pour tiring faith into those around them. It doesn't mean they're entirely blind to the truth. So, when the cycle falls to you, hesitation takes over, a fear festering in their mind that you are like all that came before you. Perhaps, if they stay silent, refuse to let you in, you'll remain by their side. If that's the price, so be it.
Collei, Aether, Lumine, Yanfei, Yun Jin, Kokomi, Amber, Chongyun, Bennett, Barbara, Ayaka, Venti

Letters to Juliet
|| Stony/WinterIron/Stuckony (pick whichever you'd like)
We don't know where Tony's mother was from (in italy i mean, but lets say she was from Verona), but I imagine a young heartbroken Tony, who Maria thought taking to Italy would be a good idea to distract him from his recent breakup, walking past House of Juliet. And he's curious about all the people, tourists, crying and sitting around writing letters so he asks his auntie (a cousin or sister of Maria's) what that was about. And she explains: many people, tourists mainly, travel to Verona to write to Juliet in hopes of answers. They come with troubles of failing marriages, breakups, being in love, married to someone they dont love etc.
And hours before Tony is to go back home to New York, he unconsciously makes the decision to stop by Juliet's house before he leaves. And he writes her a letter, he pours his heart into it, saying he was in love and he thought that the love would be reciprocated. And that he is not sure if he would ever heal from this heartbreak. And he, just like Claire had, hides the letter behind a rock, not knowing the letters were taken by Juliet's Secretaries every day
Fast forward years later (this can be stony, winteriron or stuckony) someone(s) visit Verona and find the house of Juliet and are intrigued by the letters and the tourists leaving them. They find Juliet's Secretaries and learn of their job, so they decide to help collect the letters and wouldn't you know it, the rock that was hiding Tony's letter all these years falls out, exposing the long lost letter.      And just like Sophie, they decide to write back. Tony had left his auntie's address on the letter, so they receive it. And Tony who had been in New York sleeping, gets a call saying "Juliet sent you a letter" and he's confused for a minute before he remembers the letter he left all those years ago. (For the sake of I want Tony to have a baby, Morgan exists, Pepper and him had been together at one point but it didn't work out so they share custody of Morgan, some days she stays w Tony, some with Pepper. Also Maria is still alive because i said so) So two days later we have Tony on a plane w his mama and Morgan making their way to his mother's family home.
He has no idea how to respond to the letter, and quite frankly he is a little upset by them saying love will come to him when he's had other breakups and one divorce so far. So he goes to the secretaries and asks for who wrote his letter, and low and behold there they are, still helping the ladies out.
He goes on a little rant, of why they thought writing him was a good idea, why they want to give him false hope, how they managed to remind him he isn't deserving of love, and why couldn't they just leave the goddamned letter where it was or better yet throw it in the rubbish where it belonged because he was a stupid young kid who believed he would ever NOT feel lonely. Because every relationship he's had has ended with him in tears and a handful of insecurities.    Tony leaves without letting them answer, and passes by Juliet's house, it is empty. And he talks to her "Why, why couldn't you have kept it hidden longer. It was between you and him (his younger self),  why did you let them find it. He's gone, and he won't come back just because someone decided that telling him he'll heal and find the person who'll love him forever will come soon. I'm too old for these little fairy tales. It's not going to happen. "
Tony isn't bitter, he's learned to accept that finding his true love was just a Far-fetched dream.  He smiles when he sees happy couples, young and old. He cries and laughs when he watches romance movies (which is like every five new moons because its not his thing and because he always ends up weeping). But sometimes, sometimes, this younger version of himself that he's hidden deep down inside him, who still believes in live, cries out to him, that they'll find their someone, it's just not his time yet.
And this trip to his mother's home becomes an adventure, because his "Juliet(s)" find that leaving Tony to believe that love will never knock on his door is a load of bull. It's a slow-build of flirting and secret touches and smiles and laughs and hand holding. But the day tony goes back home, he has a heavy heart because he is not ready to say goodbye to this (these) person(s) he met.    His mama thinks he's a fool. Morgan thinks her daddy is just a little confused and should invite them to their home back in new york, because she loves seeing her daddy happy, and daddy doesn't smile as much as he does when he's with them
When Tony sees them again, he's in central park, just walking down and enjoying a day out on his own. And he hears someone clear their throat behind him. He turns around and there they are.
"I've (we've) been told, that the phrase 'if you love them, let them go, and if they come back they were meant to be yours' is just another way of giving up on someone. Because if you love someone, you shouldn't let them go, ever. Because they're meant to be yours forever"
Hope you guys can enjoy this, feedback is always appreciated ❤️
I kinda wrote this as a 'gift' to someone, I tend to send ppl these cute little stories in hopes they will like them, figured it's better to share them on my acc instead of sending them as asks or dms to others considering they always think i want something like a story out of it or they just delete them and ignore me completely.

Immature
Oneshot
Steve Rogers x Reader
Warnings: Talk of sexual activities and stuff but no smut
Y/N joined the Avengers shortly after the big fight between Tony and Steve. Stark recruited her due to Fury's orders, she used to be under control of Hydra, like Barnes.. All of the Avengers had no problem with her, only one..
''Stupid Rogers!" Y/N shriek as she stares into her bathroom mirror..
Once again, Rogers benched her, because and she quote
'She used to be just like them!'
They were supposed to raid a Hydra facility, and something snapped at Steve's brain when he saw that Y/N was going too.
Y/N sighs, she just gripped the porcelain sink and steadied herself, she was ready to kill Steve, she was so angry.. Y/N just washed her face with the cold water from the faucet, hoping that it'll help ease the anger in her blood.
She exits the bathroom and was greeted by Bucky, he was sitting in her bed.
"Hello Tinman.." Y/N gave Bucky a smile.
"I want to apologize for--"
"You don't need to apologize in behalf of Steve.. I'm cool.."
"Are you really?"
"Yepp!No word of Captain Ass can get to me.."
Bucky crossed his arms, he knew she was lying.. Y/N just awkwardly smiled at him, she walks to her bed and dived in her bed..
"You can leave now, your boyfriend's might be missing you now.."
And in queue Sam and Steve popped up in her door, Steve was furious.. His eyes were fixed to Bucky, while Sam was just smiling slyly..
"Speak of the devils.." Y/N mutters as she gave Steve a deadly glare.
Bucky stood up from her bed and gave the two men a small nod.. Steve was still looking at Bucky but it soon averted to Y/N, she just raised her eyebrow at him.
"Have a fun mission, you two.."
"Will do, Y/N" Sam answered and gave Y/N a smile which she gladly gave back.
"Oh, Bucky!Pouvez-vous s'il vous plaît pousser le capitaine hors de l'avion pour moi?" Y/N spoke in french knowing that Bucky will understand.
Can you please push Captain out of the plane for me?
Bucky just laughs and shakes his head as Sam grabs him and drag him out of Y/N's sight. However, someone still hasn't left and it made her anger bubbled up even more.
"I swear to God if you don't leave, I'll squeeze your kneecaps.." Y/N said jokingly? She was not sure, she might just do that if Steve won't stop his douche ways..
"Cut it out, Y/N.." Steve ordered..
Y/N rolled her eyes, she sashay her way to Steve and move her face closer to his.
"You're not my Captain, you don't get to order me around.."
Y/N was supposed to walk away but was stopped by Rogers hand in her arms.. However, his hands didn't hurt her, his touch was soft and gentle.. Typical Steve..
Always a gentleman..
"I'm the Captain, you'll obliged to me.."
Y/N scoffs as she takes her arm away from him, she looked him deeply in his and saw that there were anger filling his blue eyes.. This guy really hates her..
"And what if I don't?What would you do?Fire me?Spank me?" She sassed but Steve eyes soften and his eyes wander to her body..
Y/N brows furrowed, what was Steve doing? He just stared at her and his cheeks suddenly got flushed.. Di-Did he just imagine what Y/N has said??
"What?" Y/N was weirded out, she hated the eerie silence between them and to top that up he might be imagining sexual things or so she thought..
"Capsicle, let's go!" Stark voice boomed out through the whole tower, it made Steve snap back to reality and he just walks away.
This made Y/N flabbergasted, he walked away just like that.. After the awkward silence and him being flustered, he just walked away with no explanation or whatsoever. Y/N just huffed in annoyance and flops back down to her comfortable messy bed..
What is wrong with Steve?
Days passed and it seems that Y/N is finally at peace, there were no longer eyes watching her.. Yes, Steve has given up.. How does she know? Simple, Steve is now avoiding and pretending she doesn't exist.. Which is fine by her, but there's this small pain in her heart.. She missed Steve acting like a douche..
Y/N mentally slaps herself, she used to complain about Steve always criticizing and annoying her but why is she missing it now? Y/N sighs as she slams her head in the table infront of her. A piercing pain welcomed her as her head hit the table but she ignored it.
"Umm, can I go on with my briefing?" Tony was standing in the middle of the big briefing room..
Y/N put her hands up and gestures an 'okay', she completely forgot that she was sitting with the Avengers in the middle of a meeting..
"Are you okay, Y/N?" Wanda was the first to ask her that, Y/N just let out a groan.. All of them just shared knowing looks and Tony fakes a cough.
"If you want to rest, you can go.." Tony chided..
"Alright.."
Y/N stood up and was almost to the door when Steve's phone suddenly rang, he answered it..
"Sharon?"
This name made Y/N stop, are they together? They look nice together, she hope that they'll break up soon.
"I'll be there.." Steve endes his call and stands up..
"Sorry everyone, I have a date with someone.." He push passed Y/N leaving her heart on the floor..
He has a date? Why is she even concerned about that? She doesn't care, Steve's stupid anyway!
"Wow, Capsicle is going on a date, I'll be damned.."
"And with Sharon?She's nice.." Wanda chirps in..
Meanwhile, Natasha notices Y/N who was dumbfounded and hurt by all the recent events..
"Aren't you gonna go, Y/N?" Nat asked with mischievous eyes wandering to her face..
Y/N put out a fake smile and left, how is she feeling this way? Does she like Steve? She groans as those thoughts eat her alive, maybe she just need a fresh air..
Yes, fresh air..
That's exactly what Y/N needs, she has been cooped up in the tower for weeks now.. She sped up to her room and grab her keys, jackets and Tony's credit card.. He won't mind it, that man is richer than the whole US goverment..
Y/N jogs to the elevator, turns out she's not going to be waiting for the elevator alone.. Steve is right there, also waiting for an elevator so he can go to his fancy date with someone else..
"Fuck.."
Y/N was deep in her thoughts that she didn't realize that Steve was looking at her.. She cleared her throat and walked up to the elevator doors..
"Up or down?" Steve asks making Y/N look at his stupid handsome face.
"Can't you figure it out Sherlock?" She's grumpy and she doesn't care.
"What?" Steve questioned.
"Down!"
"Could've just said that.."
"We're on the fuckin--"
"Language!" The infamous 'language', he's being dramatic as hell.
"Fine!We're on the freaking top floor and your asking me if I'm going up or down?"
"I didn't notice."
"You're just stupid.."
The elevator was taking forever, normally it would be up in a minute but she's been standing her for almost five minutes and the elevator is still a no show.
"This is taking forever, I'm going to take the stairs.." She was going to the staircase when the elevator doors opened..
"You're impatient.." Steve mumbles.
"Asshole.." Y/N mumbles back..
And before she knew it, she's pinned to the floor.. It happend so fast, Steve has pinned her down to the floor.. Their face were only inches apart, it made Y/N blush but she somehow hid it..
"Let me go, Steve.."
"Not until you beg for forgiveness.."
"Beg?Didn't know you had a kinky side, old man.."
Steve got flustered by her words, still he didn't let Y/N go.. She started to fight back by getting the upper hand and overpowering Steve.. Now she's on top, she smirks and inch her face closer to Steve's face.
"Dominant, I like that Cap.."
"Although, next time ask for a girls permission before you go and pin her to the floor.."
Without thinking Steve kissed Y/N, her eyes widen but soon she melted to the kiss. It started out soft but it became rough within seconds.. All of the unsaid feelings were mashed into the kiss.. She was out of breath but she didn't want it to stop.. Steve pulled back and smiled sweetly at Y/N, she was confused but she smiled back..
"You like me back?"
"No shit, Sherlock.." Y/N smiled but instead of Steve saying language he smiles back..
"You're so immature.."
They both laugh as Y/N got up and offered her hand to Steve, he gladly accepted..
"Go, you'll be late for your date..Wouldn't want to keep her waiting.." Y/N shooed Steve away but he just stands there..
"You are my date.."
"Well powder me in sugar and call me a donut.. Was all this planned?" Steve nods and Y/N just shakes her head in disappointment, she interlock her arm to Steve's arm.
"Let's go eat some ribs and steaks, Cap.."
On the briefing room with all the remaining Avengers,  they were cheering and celebrating as they watch the two from a surveillance camera.
"Not bad, Cap.." Natasha mumbles as she eats popcorn with Wanda and Bucky.

violent ends (chapter 12)
Tumblr media
(chapter 12)
series masterlist
genre: hunger games!au
pairings: huang renjun x oc, na jaemin x oc
warnings: lots of kissing, mentions of killing, description of injuries
previous | next
Athena's POV
It took a while for Jisung's quiet sniffles to fade the night of Chenle's death. By the time Mark and I had made our way back, Jaemin and Jisung had found out the news after they saw his face among the dead in the sky. Honestly, it was almost easier for Jisung to find out that way. I know Mark was in too much pain to tell him. As for me, I don't know how I could bare to look him in those innocent eyes and tell him either. As expected, he took it pretty hard. I mean, he was his best friend. He literally cried so much, that he eventually became exhausted and fell asleep.
I took the first watch, since Mark looked like he needed rest as well. The only other person who was still up was Na Jaemin.
"What are you thinking about?" Just like when we were alone in the first days, his head was resting on my lap.
"Jeno, Renjun, and the District 5 girl are the only ones left other than us." I point out.
Focusing on the positives, he replies, "Okay, well I'm guessing they'll go after her for us, since she's alone. Hopefully, they'll kill each-other. If not, we'll do it."
My voice was in a small whisper, "And then?"
He's silent.
I know District 2 is watching me right now. The same district that attachment is only necessary when it pertains to something you need. Once you have gotten what you've needed, you have to detach yourself. Almost like how a leech sucks enough blood until their fulfilled, then falls off on their own free will.
These people have given me my fill. Mark and Jisung took Jaemin and I in, even after Jaemin was injured. However, now we are both healthy as can be. As they sleep in front of me, what is stopping us from running away or even just killing them? Friends. Something I never had before. I never understood it until now. How it means that even though I'm full, I feel obligated to them too. To give just as much as they gave me.
But they are right. This is what they warned us about. This obligation will keep me captive. Let's say that we do all make it to the end together. Even so, the games will continue until a single victor. It happens every time.
The longest was the 25th games, it lasted for a total of twenty-seven days. This year the Districts had chosen the children of their mayors. Because of growing up wealthy and sheltered, none of the kids knew anything about fighting.
So they didn't. Half of them were wiped out by vicious mutations on the third day, then eventually others by starvation. However, the Gamemakers had a twist this year. Instead of the parachutes sending things to help and aid you, they sent down things like tracker jackers and acidic rain. No longer did the tributes have to survive eachother, but instead the sponsors.
Three weeks later, only two managed to do this: a brother and sister from District 9. Hopeless and broken, they decided to draw straws to see who would survive and win. The brother ended up getting the short one and gave his sister a kiss on the cheek before she stabbed him to death.
This just proves no matter how much you care for the other survivors, the Capitol won't give up until you kill the other.
The long silence was interrupted, "You know you're my priority. Ever since the beginning, only you."
"You know what I'm saying, what I'll do if I need to." Jaemin whispers sincerely, "I know you wouldn't like it, but we promised it would be me and you in the end, right?"
I knew exactly what he was alluding to. It doesn't matter if it's Mark or Jisung, he would kill anyone so we'd survive.
"I know." I speak even through the lump in my throat. There's no point in pretending or acting like things could never possibly come to that. I mean, it's not like the games are a place where you make friends.
Jaemin is sensitive to my discomfort, "Hopefully, it won't come to that, okay?"
All I could do was respond with a nod. Let's hope it doesn't.
It's almost natural the way I once again played with his hair to calm down. I noticed that since we've been separated, time had caused his nearly-black roots to appear, fading nicely into the frosty blonde. His eyes were more sunken in and tired, but still held the same old light as he peered up at me with interest, "You really have no shame, Athena."
"What do you mean?" I tease, playing innocent like I wasn't obviously checking out the beautiful boy just seconds earlier.
Then, in a burst of affection, the boy literally almost tackles me. My elbows brace myself up on the ground, as he leans over me. Alarmed, I turn my head to see the boys fast asleep, a good distance away.
When I look back at Jaemin, I feel my head start to buzz. It's seems like so long since I've been this close to someone. A someone who is somewhere far away in this arena. Someone, who in was in this same position with the night before I came here. In a soft voice, Jaemin's voice brings me back to the present, to him.
"Please."
Not long after I nod, I feel his lips softly brush over mine. Almost as if he's testing the waters. The kiss that follows is soft and delicate, yet brief. It's like I'm a piece of glass, that he is trying his best not to break. When, he backs away to see my reaction, I nearly chase after his lips. He just laughs to himself at the display of eagerness. I move back, so I'm entirely laying on the grass.
I try to be patient, not wanting to overstep our boundaries. However, when he looks down at me with absolute adoration, I didn't stop myself from grabbing his shirt with both my hands. Once I pulled him down into an bruising kiss, I could hear him let out a content sigh.
I get lost and entirely forget where I am. Instead of in an arena, it just feels like we're two young teenagers making out under the stars. It feels normal and completely right. Out of breath, he is now laying on top of me. My mouth is open in awe, while I marvel at the feeling. Relaxing, I could feel Jaemin smiling into my neck. Even in the dark, I know the cameras can see me also smiling like a fool to the sky.
After that, Jaemin decided to take his watch and let me sleep. It was the first peaceful sleep I have had until forever. That was, of course, until a young boy named Park Jisung ruined it.
"We need water!" Beside me was a knocked out, Jaemin. He was leaning against a tree, while my head was leaning against his shoulder.
"Okay, fine. Just shush." I was trying to be wary of Jaemin, who stayed up for both of our watches.
Grabbing my stuff, I say a brief goodbye to Mark. Jisung happily follows me like a little puppy, probably glad to finally get out of the camp again.
The fresh sun illuminates the water of the lake. Birds are singing good morning to one another.  I hand my bag to Jisung, as I take out my bottle. The tiny fish quickly swim away as I fill Mark and I's bottles up with water.
I feel a tug on my leather jacket.
"Athena." Jisung was pale, looking behind me.
My head snapped around to automatically meet eyes with Lee Jeno. Across the lake, he had just arrived with Renjun.
I don't waste any time before grabbing Jisung and running into the woods behind me. However, we could only get a small distance before Jisung fell to the ground, clutching his bad leg, "I can't."
"You can. Come on." I tried to hold him up like I did during the forest fire. I could hear the two Careers just around the corner.
"I'll slow you down." Jisung begged, "You gotta go without me." 
Not even having it, I grabbed him and sat him down behind a nearby bush. Since the bush was fairly small, I had to go to the only other one across the clearing.
"Let's split up." I hear nearby.
Through a gap in the branches, I see Lee Jeno come around the corner. My heart pounds with each of his steps. Jeno gets closer and closer the bush Jisung is hiding behind. I violently curse in my head as I realized Jisung was carrying my backpack with all of my weapons in it.
I guess we're gonna have to do this a different way.
I dart out of my bush and begin running in the opposite direction of camp. That way, Jisung could hopefully make it back undetected to get help.
I don't look back at all. I just keep running until I get back to the lake. Before I can change direction, I feel someone jump on me.
Crashing down, the side of my head collides with a large boulder. At first, it's completely numb and I'm able to push the tall boy off of me.
However, once I push myself up, I start to see black and fall back to the ground.
"Hey, I got her!" Jeno yelled out to Renjun.
"We've been looking for you, pretty girl." His arms have mine completely pinned to the dirt. The more I struggle against him, the more the white dots fill up my vision.
Renjun's POV
When I run towards Jeno's voice, I eventually found the two of them.
Jeno was holding the small girl. Lee Athena's face was as white as a sheet. Blood was pouring out of her head, falling in thick drops down the side of her face. I couldn't even tell if she was even conscious at this point.
She was completely limp as the boy sat her up on her knees, "Why don't you finish her off?"
"Look who came to join us." He cooed, grabbing her hair to make her look up at me.
Her half-lidded eyes recognized me right away. Although, there wasn't any signs of fear or sadness for what she knew was about to happen to her. She almost looked like she was challenging me. You wouldn't.
Would I?
"Do it." Jeno urged me. Her chin was tilted back by his hold on her hair, neck entirely on display. My hand was tightly wrapped around the familiar blade in my hands.
I tried to quickly come up with an excuse for my next actions in my head. I mean it would have to happen eventually. At least, it would be somewhat quick.
Then, I did it.

One Night Only 2, Part 6
Tumblr media
A/N: This one is a flashback from ONO 1 only it's from Erik's perspective. For @muse-of-mbaku
---
Twenty-three days had passed since Erik had seen Y/N and he was in Ontario, Canada backstage with a cup of hot water, lemon, and honey as he listened to the crowd of thousands. A cough drop rolled on his tongue as he waited. The opening act was a young duo who needed exposure. They definitely had the talent. They performed their asses off living in their moment and he smiled at the energy they brung. The crowd was really feeling them.
(Y/N) I miss you
The message on his phone screen was the same one that had been there for the past twenty days. It may as well have been his screensaver at this point. For the eighteenth time in the day alone, he re-read the three small words in the nearly empty text thread. He could imagine Y/N's voice in his head telling it to him. He could still hear her, thinking of when she yelled after him in the airport. The memory always made him smile.
Don't respond, he told himself. She needs this time to develop who she is and you'll only become her crutch if you respond now.
The truth of the matter was usually enough to get him to put the phone down.. This time, however, despite his best efforts, his thumb hovered on the screen ready to respond. He typed four words before he stopped himself, deleting them character by character. Be strong. You can make it.
Whether he was thinking about her or himself, he wasn't sure, but he knew if he texted her now, they'd never stop talking. She'd never get the opportunity to move on and to grow alone. She'd gone from relationship to depression to relationship. She needed time to live with just herself so that she could discover herself without anyone else's input and find out what it meant to live for only one person, chasing her own dreams and desires.
For her own good, he had to ignore her.
The performance ended with a howl of screams and applause for the duo. The dramatic shift occurred where the music for Erik's set came in and the crowd went wild. It was time for Erik to go on, they were calling for him.
This is for you, he thought darkening the phone screen and running out onto the stage jumping with the mic in his hand.
From now on, everything I do is for you.
---
Ontario, Montreal, Vegas, New Orleans, Atlanta, Houston, Chicago, London, Bucharest, Rio, Lima, Brasilia, Lagos, Accra, Nairobi, Cape Town, Johannesburg, LA, Detroit, Anchorage.
Another stop, another city, another set with him pouring everything out on stage and exhausting himself, sweaty but satisfied. More nights with women throwing their bras and thongs onto the stage and coming backstage.
He's sure to wink at a few women when their eyes meet as he's performing. Their cameras are on him and he knows they'll go back and look at the footage later especially if they plan to post it somewhere. He gives one young lady with long blonde braids the mic watching her finish his lyrics as he bobs his head along with her. The moment in the car with Y/N when his song came on the radio comes to mind as he grins throwing the girl a t-shirt. He must've done that in four different cities. Everytime.. he had to smile because he couldn't stop seeing and hearing Y/N in those girls. He kissed one girl on the cheek and she almost passed out. He had to catch her and hold her for a second until she was okay.
Backstage meets were full of loyal fans, some down to earth and some a little crazy. He could always pinpoint the ones who felt entitled to him simply because they paid for a backstage pass. He was cordial with them, but he refused to put up a front to satisfy their expectations of him. He was Erik Stevens, a nigga from Cali.. and this puffed up image of him that the media sold was just that, puffed up. The ones who could vibe without demanding a performance of a character were the ones he preferred to mix with backstage.
He gave handshakes, dapped up, and hugged those who came on equal footing as souls connecting to the music. He fucked the ones who came as groupies, their love for his music so strong it transferred onto him. Some of them had been attracted to him from day one to the point they actually started listening to his music because of it. Some of them, their intentions from the very beginning were simply to have sex with someone famous. He gave them what they wanted. He fucked them all.. if they were attractive. 
He didn't fuck the women with those bright hopeful eyes though nor did he fuck the ones with sad eyes. There could only be one of those for him now. Every time a woman looked up at him like he was her hero it only served as a reminder of that fateful day that forever changed the way he thought about love.
---
"It's been five months... The fuck is she doing," Erik snapped.
He'd long been off tour and yet Y/N hadn't come. He clearly recalled asking her to come to him when they were together. He thought she would. He'd hoped that she would. He wanted her face to be the one he saw once his tour had ended. He wanted her in his bed and in his house. Alas, she had not arrived.
"She doing her.. Ain't that what you told her to do," Corey replied smartly over the phone.
He did, but he ain't expect it to take this long. It had been TOO long. She should've found him when his tour was over. He could've been helping her right now instead of talking to this nigga over the phone. Well, he could still help her... and matter of fact, he would.
He floated her name to a few people in his circle in hopes that they could scout or create opportunities for her. Anything that he could do without overstepping or making it obvious.
---
Nine months and he was still waiting on the woman who'd come into his life and turned it inside out. He read her text message again. It was starting to feel like a fever dream, their time together. It was like living months without his heartbeat. He'd been reduced to checking her social media accounts that he'd gotten hold of regularly just to get glimpses of her, making sure she was doing well. He'd created a separate account just do he could follow her and lurk without her knowing. This way, he didn't have to sweat over accidentally double tapping or hitting the heart. He could also view her lives without his name appearing. This eased his mind because he felt closer to her, but it still was not close enough. He was happy to see her coming into her own gradually and he loved the glimpses into her life, but he wanted to be part of it.
The day finally came when he saw her pictured with another nigga, light skin with freckles like an old banana. Who was that nigga? He dug through the comments and looked for any tags following them until he found the profile. James Porleau.
Porleau. His lip twisted in irritation scrolling through the man's account... also known as Jimmy.
Well fuck you, Jimmy, he thought as he scrolled. He went back to the photo of them together. They'd both posted it and it set off red flags in his mind. Stop it, he told himself. She needs this, and how many women have you fucked? Let her get it out of her system. 
That was until a week later he saw that her IG account was suddenly on private and that blew him. Wrong move, babe. Luckily his fake account was already following her so he could still see her posts.
"Corey tell her take her Instagram off private. Can't nobody like or enjoy her shit if they can't access it."
"I ain't even know it was on private.. how'd you know? Damn you a stalker for real, huh?"
"I'm just checking on her."
"Riiight," Corey drags, "... You musta seen Jimmy," he chuckles.
"Who is he anyway?" It wasn't worth pretending he hadn't.
"A placeholder.... She misses you but she need dick to keep her warm at night and you not here. I keep telling you to just pop up on her. That nigga would disappear real quick."
"I can't. She's in her zone right now, growing, and if I pop up she might get distracted. This is all healthy for her...I just don't like that nigga." Looking at the two of them together made him uneasy. "I'm a look into him to make sure. Just to be safe."
"Nigga," Corey laughed on the other end.
"I'm serious."
"They not. They just fuckin around."
---
Fuckin around. Who fucks around like this for months? Y/N and Jimmy seemed to be going strong and there was nothing in Jimmy's past that Erik could hold up or frown on. He was a lawyer and a decent guy it seemed. Inside, he was conflicted. He didn't want them together because it made his heart burn, but at the same time she WAS his heart and he was glad she wasn't alone. There were five photos with him and Y/N together. He swallowed his emotions and continued to scroll.
He could see pictures posted at Corey's engagement party. The shoes he'd bought. He rolled his eyes still not believing he'd bought a grown man's shoes. Mostly, he'd scrolled the feed to get glimpses of Y/N. She looked as beautiful as ever and despite the turmoil boiling in his gut due to the fact that she was still too far away, he was glad to see she had a big smile on her face where she was. 
He felt like a fan.
---
"She quit her job," Corey blurted when Erik answered the phone. Erik had just left a meeting with his manager and PR person to discuss some of his most recent behavior. He'd cussed out a white guy who'd bought backstage passes and wasn't satisfied because Erik didn't cater to him. The guy tried to force Erik to pay more attention to him but Erik refused to be treated like a toy. The guy deserved worse than the few choice words he got and Erik made that known when he refused to apologize or do anything to make the situation go away. He simply didn't care. 'Figure it out. I'm not doing shit,' he'd told them before storming out.
"She q-.. Is that good or bad? She need money?"
"Nigga. Who don't need money?"
"I'll say it like this.. Is she in danger of losing her apartment or not eating?"
"Nah nah.. Nah, never that. She getting money from her social networking. She one of them influencers now."
"Oh damn.. Is she happy?"
"Oh yeah. She happy as hell, her lil pickle head ass dancing all over the living room right now."
"She don't know you talking to me right?"
"She in there with Anaya not thinking about my ass. See, “BIG OL FREAK, BIG BOOT BIG OL TREAT.. see they ain't paying no attention."
"Nigga, I slid you that track in secret because you were a Megan fan, damn! Don't make me regret it! It ain't out yet... I gotta get my verse together."
---
The day came where Y/N finally released her own original music, music she'd written and arranged herself. He sat in his Ferrari 488GTB with his phone connected by bluetooth and the music playing through his speakers. He'd been waiting a year to hear her song and now that the time had come,  he rested his head against the headrest and let the sound caress his ears. Her soulful, smooth, and angelic voice rode the beat with precision. With the volume up and the sound enveloping him, it felt like she was there and singing directly to him. This about me, he thought with a lazy smile listening to her words. That nigga couldn't make her feel like this.. and I know it ain't about her ex.. Nah, it's definitely about me. The thought had him replaying it and for the next week it was his go to song. He knew every word and could sing it. He often did when he was alone.
From singing covers to her own original music, she'd taken large strides. He was impressed and proud that she'd worked hard to carry out her vision to accomplish her dream. He could not stop grinning whenever he heard her song... and then he heard it in public. He was out and about and he heard it, it was brief, but enough for him to recognize it. His stomach was leaping. He looked around for the source, but it had been so quick. That's my baby. His chest was swelling, heart full. That's when he knew for a fact she'd made it.
---
Erik witnessed the success of her EP and bragged on her where he could, of course not to the point of it being loud or widespread enough for it to get back to her. He was careful not to tempt her into cutting off her progress for some haphazard reunion. Of course, he was still fuckin groupies left and right.
He saw the explosion in her social media for himself, her verified side account so that her main could be reserved for her inner circle. He saw all the plays she got on Pandora, Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube. He could finally Google her and see her on multiple platforms. She was linked to him. Their names were still used together, but she was standing alone as well.
She'd gotten fans and followers. Lotta comments and likes. Aight now.. Drake.. back the fuck up. Along with her fame came the thirst. Hella niggas were liking her pictures and leaving random emojis.
"Ayo Corey, tell me something. I need an update. What's she doing? What she need?"
"I remember her saying she need a signed jersey from Steph Curry. She's really been into basketball lately for some reason. She'd love that."
"How bout I send this size 12 foot up ya ass?"
"You still violent as ever, I see. Ornery... You been getting any cheeks?"
"Groupie pussy don't hit the same."
"Not when you've had that number one superfan pussy!"
"Don't remind me. That bitch was crazy."
"But her pussy was fire wuh'nit?"
"She was fuckin crazy. You almost got sniped for that, sending me crazy bitches. You lucky I been in therapy for so long."
"How was I supposed to know the bitch was nuts, she seemed normal to me, I just thought she was a nice lady."
"Nah. I knew something was off. Shouldn't have fucked her."
"Can't unfuck her, but you can hire extra security."
"Nah. If she come around, I'm a handle her."
"Careful E... you soundin like the old you. I know you wanna keep control n'shit."
"Oh I'm in control. I got security, but if she push me they can't protect her from me but for so long."
"Remember she a woman. Though she a bitch, she a bitch with titties.. I guess you supposed to be more gentle.. because of the titties..."
"Yeah well she ain't finna have no titties fuckin wit me. I was taught to believe in equal rights of the sexes."
Click.
Hm? He hung up. Must've been Anaya or someone who walked in.
---
Erik had seen Corey's wedding photos and short clips and through he didn't comment, he congratulated him ans sent a gift. He lurked Y/N's social media catching up on her photos and videos. He was beginning to forget what she tasted like, but when he stared at her through his screen ge could imagine. He was a ghost haunting her pages. He'd become the very thing he'd warned her against. He was stuck on her.
She hadn't posted yet. Every time he scrolled, it was like Russian Roulette. He had to continuously remind himself to check that he was using the lurking account and not his actual account. Also, he was never sure what he'd find. Sometimes the content filled him with intense pride and joy, but sometimes it hurt. That nigga still seemed to be close to her and it got under his skin. She was supposed to fuck around with him and move onto another one, but this nigga was consuming ALL the time that Erik was sacrificing.
He wanted to get on her live.. it was an impulse whenever he visited her page and she had one. THE NIGGA WAS IN THE LIVE. Given, he wasn't the only one there, but still. Erik's jaw tightened and his eyes shut tightly putting the phone against his forehead before putting it away. He needed to think of something different. He needed to go on with his busy ass day.
---
Another year had officially passed.
Pictures posted of Y/N with her and the Corey's baby smiling and glowing living their best fuckin life. Erik didn't want to be bitter, but he couldn't hello that part of him felt bitter. He was lonely. He could see Corey was happy and flexin with Anaya. He'd found a good thing.
Erik wanted to be happy like that, but he couldn't and it wasn't for lack of trying. No matter how many models he went through, how many groupies he fucked, he was still lonely. He laid in bed with other girls as they were passed out from all the sex, scanning through Y/N's pictures. He still had that photo he'd taken when they were in bed together and he was flipping off the camera. It felt like ten years ago instead of two, but emotionally it still felt like yesterday.
Don't know what you're doing off camera.. Wonder what you're doing and if you really moved on..
I sound insecure right now.
Put the phone down. Turn the phone off.
24 hours. Erik kept it off.
The next morning when Erik turned him phone on, his manager had a lot to say. The main thing being, "You ain't answer your phone."
Erik laughed dryly having just gotten chewed out. What could he say?
"It died," he lied. "What'd you wanna say tho?"
---
Typically, Erik could distract himself and push his feelings aside, but he'd seen something this time that he couldn't push aside in his mind. It was a photo of Y/N and that nigga kissing on the lips, the caption: 'I love this man.'
She'd dropped the L word and Erik couldn't breathe. He looked at the phone staring from the word to the picture. It was a punch in the stomach. Had he been waiting on her in vain? Had she chosen this banana faced bitch? Had she really decided to be with him?
Erik had to sit down. He laid down the phone and gripped at his face which was hot, dragging his cheeks down with his palms, fingers sliding down his face. Facepalm. Her with this nigga AGAIN. He wanted to cry.
They ain't look bad together and that seemed to be a popular consensus based on the comments. It made his eye twitch.
He sighed deeply, his jaw tightening. His head felt like it would pop. She was raising his blood pressure and he had to breathe, blinking as he stared at nothing to calm himself. It didn't look like they were just fuckin. They were entirely too close, spending too much time together to say there were no feelings and now he knew. She loved him.
He stood abruptly pacing the floor of his living room. His ear itched at the entire situation and he scratched wildly in irritation releasing his frustration in a loud, "FUCK."
He needed to jog. Stopping short, he decided fuck jogging, he'd hit the bag. In his home gym, he paced and punched the body bag until his fists went numb with pain to match the confusing and excruciating feeling in his heart. He fell to the floor onto his back, sweat covering his face as he tried to shut down his racing mind, chest heaving.
One time. He'd allow himself to see her one time. He had to see her up close even if it was a goodbye. He looked her up to see her next performance. It was at a club called Sapphire. He laid there on the ground thinking of her song and all the times he'd played it. He was starting to think he was wrong about who she was singing to all along.
---
The performance went without a flaw while Erik stood in the back of the crowded club with his hood pulled up, listening with his ears and saying goodbye with his heart. If she wanted him, he'd fight, but if she wanted that other nigga and he truly made her happy, he'd let her go.
The entire performance, he wished her the best, still more excited for her than anyone when she got nothing but applause and positive feedback. He wanted badly to walk up and grab her hand just to confirm that his eyes still held power over her, her heart, and her knees... but he resisted. He'd have stayed longer, but when he started to get recognized, it became a problem
The first woman to recognize him gaped, her mouth and eyes wide. He signaled for her to be quiet with his finger over his lips. When the third person recognized him, it was time to go. He had to leave before word got out that he was there.
---
"Nigga, you are dumb as hell. Them pictures don't mean shit. They ain't even together no more. You depressed for what?"
"I'm not depressed, I'm working."
"This would all be solved if you'd bring ya ass over here then you'd see for yourself... You should've approached her at the club. She'd have lost her fuckin mind and been with you right now, but y'all both wanna be stubborn."
"Well then if that's true... I'm not gonna rush her or or cut off her relationship. I've BEEN ready. I'm just waiting on her. When she's ready she'll come."
"You finna be waiting a decade."
"Aye.. So be it."
There was a strain that Erik could hear. Corey was the middle point and he was trying hard to keep the two of them connected but there was only so much he could do. Erik felt his frustration, but his resolve was strong.
"..UUUUUGH, Y'ALL GET ON MY DAMN NERVES," Corey groaned.
---
3 months passed and Erik was with his lawyer, manager, and producer reworking contracts that would be re-signed. Apparently, his lawyer was peeping shit he missed, earning his check. Erik figured he'd need a new producer soon. This one was sheisty and he didn't wanna have to threaten him or worse. It was best to work with someone else and this lawyer seemed to be doing well with determining the producer's breach of contract making it void.
"One second," Erik put a finger up walking out of the conference room. Typically, he would never walk out of a meeting that serious, but he saw a name on his screen with a new message from a number that hadn't contacted him in two years.
Holding his breath, he opened it.
(Y/N) I'm in Cali can we meet

It's been so long since I posted to this blog. I guess I stopped when I lost touch with my best friend who was like a sister. I've been wishing I could talk to her for guidance for so long, but I had to let her go for myself. She was attempting to push a guy on me when I wasn't ready, and purely so I would have a reason to move back to our hometown. Didn't she remember how bad that place was for me? I was homeless for nearly 4 years, bouncing between places, never secure, just surviving. Every time we talked I could feel my energy depleting, but she was my best friend, so why would I leave her? She was getting married, so naturally she was focused a lot on that, and I was meant to be her maid of honor. And as the MOH, it was my job to stand up for the bride, and to get the bridal party in order. So when I saw how much they kept hurting her, and how she was more sad about her experience as a bride than happy, I stepped up to the plate. Me, the girl terrified of her own shadow on some days. But I did it, and she called me her only friend, and her other bridesmaids did not like it, so they ran to her.... and she called me a bully. It was in that moment that my heart was broken, that she could think I had bullied people into something. She was ultimately my soul mate, we were meant to be in each others lives... and suddenly I was reduced to this one word. And all the pain, all the hurt I had over the years preceding this came pouring out, how she guilt tripped me, how I needed her and she wasn't there, how just because it wasnt what she wanted to do she didn't stick to plans with me. How she blew me off time and again, and how she stopped seeing me and I always had to travel to see her. And it was done. And what broke my heart more was the relief that I felt after I sent her an email. I loved her, so why would I be relieved? But as I write this today, I wish I could talk to her. Because she was and has always only ever been, the person that understood me. Who understood my heart, my mind, my emotions. Who helped me heal from my ex-fiancé that cheated on me. On the days I felt like giving up, and not being able to see through the blinding pain she was there to support me. She sent me quotes, she texted me every day, she made sure I was okay. And she always knew deep down I wasn't, and she was okay with that. She didn't expect or need me to be. And I wish I could have her now, because as I write this that fragile heart that I had finally fixed, has broken and shattered all over again.
You see, I met a guy. It had been 2 years, and I was ready to open myself to the idea of love again, especially because I realized I did not love my ex anymore, nor had I for a long time. I had tried dating in between those years, but it never felt right, or like I was ready. But after spending time on my own and feeling empowered, I downloaded a dating app. But it wasn't long before I began to dislike it, I don't like judging based off of pictures, and only a few words. I was feeling discouraged, maybe I wasn't ready... but then the app pinged for someone they thought I might like. I saw him and thought, wow he is handsome, he has a smile that I could melt from, and.... was that a racoon on his head?? I had to know, and so I hoped he would respond. And there began my downfall, because he did.
We spent an entire week texting, and I found myself eager and smiling at my phone. I was actually excited, and couldn't wait to meet him in person. We even came up with nicknames... he was Cinna-Ron because he asked me if I thought he was as sweet as a cinnamon roll... and he was, but even more so. My heart pounded as I waited to meet at the boba shop where he would pick me up for our date. And when he finally arrived, he was even more amazing in person. And he brought me burgundy colored carnations, it was that moment I knew I'd love those flowers forever. He opened my door for me and was a true gentleman, and when he leaned in to kiss me, I felt the world slow and my heart stop. All I could think was "wow~" we spent the whole night together, talking and kissing and flirting and I was convinced I had never felt more alive. And so began my hope.... that evil, snaring, soul crushing light..... the hope that things would keep going well, and that he felt the same way. To my excitement he did, and it was like I had known him forever. I was so unbelievably happy, and excited, and absolutely terrified. Because deep down I knew he was going to break my heart.... and so I ignored all of my alarms, my instincts. "Run away, he is going to hurt you" "don't let him in, keep him at a distance" "this will only lead to pain" and I could feel my heart shake from fear... like it knew it wouldn't survive another fracture... but I stood my ground, I was going to fight myself and trust for once, because he was nothing like anyone I had ever met before. He made me feel safe, he was why I took so long to come back, because I wanted to give him a real unicumbered chance at loving me, instead of pushing him away. I was happy being alone, I was content with myself and who I was, but I wanted to share it.... so I let him in.
Not long after I began to have health issues, an excruciating pain developed in my abdomen that I never found a real answer for. I hurt my wrist at work, and was in a minor fender bender that hurt my upper back. I was in my last year of Nursing school, and so the stress began to overwhelm me and I started overeating again. Before I knew it I was 30 pounds heavier.... but worst of all the darkness started creeping back in.... here was my depression again.... and crippling anxiety.... it began to be too dark to see any light.... I failed 2 exams in my last semester.... but I still had hope and light because he was there. Reminding me I was smart and I could do it.... and when I opened up about my mental health, I told him I would understand if he didnt want to stay because he didnt sign up for that... and he told me he wasn't going anywhere.... and so I had some hope to hold onto.... because I knew the real Kat was in there still, but the world was piling it on and I was suffocating, and he was patient enough for me to get back to me again. A week later he changed his mind.... he decided he couldn't "reciprocate as strong of feelings" for me as I had for him. A polite way of saying he doesn't love me, and knew he never would. And just like that, hope was gone....
Did I imagine it? The last 8 months? Was I really the only one who fell in love? Did I misread all of his actions as just really strong like and not love? The only reason I was open about my feelings towards him was because I genuinely believed he felt the same, his actions spoke louder than his words, or lack thereof. And I said I would wait for when he was ready to say it back, because I wasn't going anywhere and he made me believe he felt the same.... little did I realize he had one foot out the door from the start of our relationship. He thought the feelings would grow but they never did.... so when he smiled at me and held me close did he feel nothing? Was there not a fire roaring in his chest for me? Did not every fear and care melt away? Did the sound of my voice not send a thrill through his heart? Did he not look at me and feel pure happiness? What happened? What went wrong? What changed? It was me. It had to be me. Why else would he decide this now? He couldnt see the girl he first met anymore, I was a whole new person to him and he did not like what he saw or how he felt with me. And so he decided it wasn't "fair" to me if he kept me because he couldn't "reciprocate as strong of feelings."
Ultimately I don't believe I ever really had a chance with him, because he kept me at a distance emotionally. I realize now he never truly opened himself to me, and when he saw how serious, how real a relationship with me could be. He chose to run instead of opening his heart to being hurt. So you know what, maybe I do deserve better than that. I deserved the person he made me believe be was, he started out all in but I didnt realize he had that foot out the door, especially after I told him those three words. He has an idea of what he thinks love is like and how it's supposed to last, but doesn't realize that love is different each time you find it. He always told me he loves love, so why didnt he want the love in front of him? I think he still holds his heart for the one girl he ever really loved. So he'll never find what he is looking for because each new person he brings into his world, he never really gives a chance to, they'll never fit that mold. How can he expect to love someone, if he doesn't allow himself to? And yet, here I am... still wondering why I was not enough.... it's never enough.... and so I've closed my heart to love permanently. Because I can't stand this pain.... I feel so tricked... and so betrayed... the only quote befitting this is by Bob Marley "The biggest coward of a man is to awaken the love of a woman without the intention of loving her." How do I trust love if it ever comes again? Because what I mistook for love from him, was apparently nothing.... how do I trust actions now? How do I trust myself? And how did I mean absolutely nothing to him? Why am I the only one hurting? How was I so blind? I was foolish to believe someone like him actually loved me... it never crossed my mind that he didn't... he never made me feel otherwise.... I hate this. But what can I do? He'll never regret this decision, that isn't like him. Why would he regret leaving someone he doesn't love? He'll never miss me, for the same reasons. I can't make him love me if he doesn't. I'll be a fleeting thought for him, but for me he'll always be that maybe. I'll always find myself wanting to talk to him, wishing I could be with him. And if he ever does find love, I'll likely envy that girl. Because she must be something truly special to awaken his love... so I'll go back to finding myself. I'll try to finish school amidst this chaos in the world, become a nurse, buy a house with a backyard for my dogs. And be content knowing that I don't want love, I don't want this pain. I reached for too much happiness and light, and so the universe has ripped all of that away from me, reminding me that I don't get that kind of contentment. School hangs in the balance, still unsure if they will be able to continue due to Covid-19. The man I thought loved me is gone, and my love with him. That bright shiny future I thought was waiting this year is gone. So now I'm lost to wander alone. But this time I choose to be, because this pain isn't worth my sanity, or my life. I'm tired of surviving, I want to live.... Goodbye my sweetest of cinnamon rolls... I know you'll never see this... but I hope you know the love I felt was real...

Is it Just Another Day..
Sam: I just can't get the feeling away...
Tom: And why do you think that is?
Sam: Because I feel like no one cares..
Tom: You feel like no one cares about what?
Sam: No one cares that I was... That he..
Tom: Sam - you're speaking present tense.
Sam: I know, I know.. I just.. I can't move past it.
Tom: You can't move past what Sam?
Sam: That look.
Tom: What look?
Sam: That look they gave me when I told my leadership.
Tom: Sigh*
Sam: It's as if they were disgusted, ashamed of me..
Tom: Are you sure it was them who felt that way?
Sam: Yeah, I mean.. I saw their eyes... It.. It!
Tom: It what?
Sam: It felt awful. I poured my heart out to these people. The people that I was told would have my back, the people who worked with me, came into my house, broke bread with, lived with, loved with.. And all I got was disgust.
Tom: Were they all like that?
Sam: No, not all..
Tom: And why do you think they weren't all like that?
Sam: Because all of them aren't bad..
Tom: Sam. Why do you think after all this time you've had such a hard time letting go?
Sam: Because I'm weak?...
Tom: You aren't weak Sam. What you experienced was.. awful and -
Sam: Will it ever go away?
Tom: No. I don't think it will.
Sam: How am I supposed to live the rest of my life living like this?
Tom: By living it.
Sam: ...
Tom: For seven years now you've been fighting. You've been fighting your dreams, your thoughts, your emotions, and even yourself and your friends and family.
Sam: ...
Tom: These feelings you have, these emotions, have sat still. Lingering and further manifesting into something else, over and over again getting worse each time it changes form. Why do you think that is?
Sam: Because I keep fighting?..
Tom: Because you keep fighting.
Sam: But if I stop fighting they'll win, if I stop fighting he'll win. They'll all win!
Tom: Sam. He's in prison. For the same reason of what he did to you to another person. He lost. He will forever live in shame for what he did to you and to so many others.
Sam: But I! Never! Got! Justice! No one ever cared!
Tom: Sam. When you were given leave, who was there at the air port?
Sam: My mom..
Tom: When you got home, and unloaded your bags, who helped you, and gave you the warmest of hugs?
Sam: My Dad...
Tom: And who shared a long cry with your room through the we hours in the morning?
Sam: My sisters..
Tom: Why?
Sam: Because they cared....
Tom: Yes. Because they cared.
Sam: ....
Tom: And do you think they care now?
Sam: They never stopped.
Tom: And your friends?
Sam: Oh they are super supportive, one of my guy friends even walks me to my car every night I come to visit him and his family.
Tom: It seems like a lot of people care Sam.
Sam: I know they do.. I know.
Tom: ... Sam.
Sam: Yeah?..
Tom: We've been working together for three years now, going on four. Why do you think you keep coming back? It's not for the coffee I assure you.
Sam: I was just about to say the coffee haha!! - No um, I don't know.
Tom: Sam, don't do that. Deflecting is so first year.
Sam: Right right, I know.. Um, I feel like.. There is something more..
Tom: Something more?
Sam: Something more that I'm missing..
Tom: Something more than you're missing?
Sam: Yeah. I feel like there is something left for me here. Something more for us working together. Something left for me to do here before I can move on.
Tom: And what do you think that is Sam?
Sam: Myself.

Ohio~ new fan here, i was just wondering, can you give any tips for writers? like people who want to start writing but they're afraid they'll mess up? I wanted to create a Sehunxoc but I'm afraid I'll mess up
Sehun is my baby and I will love him forever. With that aside, I will give you the best advice I can. I don’t pretend to be an authority on writing but I do write. I don’t spend hours pouring over it and it’s not the center of my world but it a balance on my life. I write prolifically because I write whenever I’m stressed or tired or something comes to mind. So, now I’ll get onto advice.
It is important to have an idea of where your story is going and what you want to say or show your readers or yourself, something you want. The first is the plot and the second is the theme. Using myself as a reference, I write the plots of relationships, getting together and then staying together, the latter making up the majority of the work. My themes are always about showing couples staying together through challenging circumstances and everyday life. To then psychoanalyze myself, I likely do this because I grew up with no long-term, committed, healthy relationship as a model so I write them in an effort to understand them.To sum up, have a plotline and have a point behind it. There is no reason to write the next great epic but write a story that would engage you as a reader and that you would want to read, and read again.
In terms of more concrete advice, I recommend against focusing too much on individual words, especially using “smart words.” Hemingway himself largely believed that using the first words that come to mind were the best words. 
Avoid making a “mary sue” character that doesn’t have flaws and is unbelievable as a real person (a good popular example being Bella Swan). Mary Sues have all the guys like them for no good reason. She is “average but pretty” and “smart but not brilliant” but guys are tripping over themselves to be with her - make your love interests have something genuine and more concrete than attraction behind them, such as they challenge and encourage each other, they complement each other, they make each other feel better simply by being around, or they make each other feel secure, as examples. Give your characters problems and quirks, and the easiest ways to do this is to use your own problems and quirks as source material. People have problems and people don’t always make the best decisions. Don’t make  your characters perfect, that’s boring and as a rule of thumb, they should have some insecurities like we all do. 
Don’t get too caught up in how people think and feel about your story. It’s yours. Write it for yourself, and if necessary, shine up the diamond you created and present it to the world and it may not need that much shining. Popularity is a measure of success that will make you anxious and may lead to writers block, particularly with fan fiction. I write fan fiction for myself as a way to destress and I share it just hoping it may help someone else smile and I like using that as goal rather than notes or views because that way I don’t end up crying about it (which I have done).
Don’t be afraid to brainstorm with other people. In my longest works, I have guys I’ve turned to in order to gain understandings of the people on this earth born with a Y chromosome. I advise you use more specific questions than just “do you like it” as something like “in this scene, what doesn’t make sense, if anything? What would you change to make it better? What would you do?”It gets you more helpful answers. 
Ultimately, write the story for yourself, one that makes you happy and proud. That’s my best advice. 
In terms of messing up, I can’t imagine anyway you could mess up if you write it with interest, passion, heart, and love. Aim to write a good story and something at least decent will come out. That rough little stone can then be refined into a brilliant diamond. That may not sound particularly encouraging, but I do intend for it to be. As long as you try, you won’t fail. I’ll certainly read your work. You’ll only mess up if you make something you are not happy with so make that your goal. Write a story that excites you and makes you warm inside and brings a light to your eyes. There is a story in there if you already feel like you want to write one.
I apologize this got so long but I kept thinking of tips. I hope this is helpful and feel free to message me again if you want and I have some writing sources I go to I can send as well. Best of luck in your writing and I can’t wait to read it!
