jack and race would start a fight club in middle school and davey would be the one trying to tell them not to do it because the teachers will catch them only to inadvertently tell them the best ways to do it without getting caught and then end up as the accidentally ringleader by being the one to make sure people are fighting as safely as possible so when the fight club finally gets broken up jack and race are absolutely enraged that not only is davey getting in trouble with them when davey really didn't want anything to do with it but also davey is getting all the credit for being the brains behind the operation.

Barell of a Gun (Hitman! Jimin x Reader)

(Warnings: This one is pretty dark. Please don't read if you feel uncomfortable at the mentions of Paid Murder,Gambling,Uncomfortable Situations and Kidnapping. This doesn't depict Jimin's real personality. It's only a work of fiction. Please don't associate Jimin with this after you read it,he isn't like that in real life. IT IS ONLY A WORK OF FICTION BASED ON A JAMES BOND-AGENT 47 TYPE OF CONDUCTING LINE)

Word count: 2045

As soon as night has fallen,he started to get ready. Pen,check. Knives,check. 9mm,check. Everything was going perfectly. Park Jimin never paid attention to the victim. At least,he never let his emotions rule over the goal he had in front of him. And that goal was the 1,000,000$ he will get after he eliminated the person in the portfolio. It's a well paid price,and until he does the job without being noticed,it's worth it. He never accorded time to his emotions. It's a rational job,find the person,eliminate them,get paid. Nothing really hard. He prefers to say eliminate because killing would make his targets look like victims,whilst most of them are just rotten people.

"Agent 91,welcome. Please type in the password to unlock." His computer displayed the following words. He typed it in once. Doesn't work. The fourth time,same thing happened. "Fuck. Not again. I don't have time for this shit right now." Jimin was starting to get agitated. The fifth time,he just scanned his retina,hoping it would work. And it did. Thankfully. Because if it hadn't,the whole fuck-up would've cost him a lot of money and primarily his life,probably.

While sitting in the car,you had some Depeche Mode song your brother was blasting earlier in his room,stuck on repeat in your head. It was called Barrel of a Gun or something,the guitar riff was kinda cool so it stuck to your neurones. The ride to the casino was accompanied by an awkward silence,your date for the night has chosen some pompous place to dine at and now wanted to go gamble some money away. He was the son of some rich politician at your school,of course he would do something like that. "Did you like the meal?" The guy placed a hand on your knee,not as if you had asked,but for the moment you didn't do anything. "Yes,i liked it,even thought the wine was a little bit dry for my taste." He simply smirked and rolled up the partition in the back of the Limousine before his hand has made its way higher up on your thigh. "Well..if it can comfort you,i know that something won't be as dry as the wine tonight." Breaking point. You took his hand into yours and simply smiled. "Jacques,listen. I appreciate your gestures and all,but please,please,pretty please,don't ever fucking touch me again without me consenting to it." You heard a pop coming from the bone of his hand,not realising you were literally almost breaking it so you had let it go.

Jimin had stepped into the grand hall of the Casino of Monte Carlo,getting the casual verifications done. He stood at the roulette table,and since he had some time to kill,he didn't mind gambling away some thousands. The main point was to blend in,not to be outstanding. "Mesdames,Messieurs,Faites-vos jeux." He had forgotten how wonderful the french language sounds...as wonderful as a cat choking on some plastic wrap. His bet was put on the number 3,his lucky number. Not that he was superstitious,but it always brought him chance,so...why not this time? "Les Jeux sont faits." As soon as the roulette started spinning,he looked around himself and finally saw his target. But it wasn't planned that he will have company.

Sitting besides Jacques while he was playing a hand,needless to say,it was more than just boring. You never wanted to go home as much as you did now. Plus,the high-heels were killing your feet,it was a plus reason for you to just get up and leave. But you didn't. Simply because he was already kind enough to take you on a date,so,you had nothing more to do than just sit beside him and observe. Jacques wasn't good at Poker,even if he liked to think the opposite,and his loss was already over 100,000€. If he were a simple man,he would already be indebted,but it wasn't the case. The game only started to be interesting when another man sat down at the table and joined the party.

"May i?" Jimin asked with a small smile on his lips. He knew his target was beside him,it will be easier to calculate his every moves. But he didn't realise it will be harder since you were in the frame too. As soon as the game started,he saw that the guy wasn't good at playing,only bluffing,so,he took this to his advantage and told himself he will use the "I'm just tryna help you bro" card later. Jimin's eyes were mostly on you though,and he didn't calculate his emotions,but he would've been lying if he said you weren't beautiful.

You were looking at the cards in Jacques's hands. Seeing the 3 others on the table,he was already fucked,but of course,he had to bluff. "50,bet" echoed from the man beside you and everyone folded. Except one. The new player at the table. "Oh...i see you play with big amounts...let me make it more interesting then. Calling 1600." The black haired man's proposition made you jump a little bit. It wasn't only 1600€,but 1,600,000. "So..? What do you think? Reasonable proposition,no? Or...are you scared of losing?" The guy smirked and your partner stood up. "I'm going for a smoke. Pause the game." "Man,it isn't such a bad proposition,but okay...let's say 1,400,000 to save your honor." He followed Jacques to the balcony. Which was a pretty bad idea knowing how he can get when he's angry,you knew how out of hand the situation could get,he was the same at Uni. Anger Issues was his middle name.

Jimin was only trying to provoke the poor guy. Poor...let's not say that. He was the kid of an asshole that got rich by scamming poor people. Let alone,the father was a politician. The only way for Jimin to attain his final target was to hurt him. Not that he had to,but it was more effective this way. "Stop fucking following me. I have enough of your gimmicks. I saw how you were looking at him. You're on a date with me,not him." The hitman simply laughed. "Oh..you thought your little girlfriend came after you? Believe me,she has better things to do. Now,if you excuse me..." Gun cocked. Silencer already on. And fire. The bullet went straight through the younger one's head,in between the eyes. "Bull's eye. Good." As the body of the guy has fallen,Jimin started to wipe his silencer and put the pistol away. Too bad the girl was at the balcony as he did it.

"What the fuck have you done? WHO THE FU-" You screamed at him,but the scream hadn't live to its full potential as the guy from the table had silenced you with a hit to your head. You woke up five hours later,tied to a chair,in a living room in some old ass apartment,still propably in southern France. "Rise and shine babygirl,you're safe now. My name is...you have no buisness knowing it,but call me 91. Or Jay. Whatever suits you." As you looked around you,you saw nothing you could recognise. Only the feeling of the rag on your mouth was prominent,with the bounds around your wrists and legs. "I guess i should take off the gag...but can i trust you to not scream?" You nodded,already planning to get away somehow. As Jay took off the gag you inhaled and tried to scream but he had his hand in front of your mouth. "I should've killed you when i had the chance. I didn't need any kind of witnesses. But here i am,trying to plan out something so you don't talk. Now. Stop screaming or i'll send a bullet flying through your brain. Also..what's your name again?" He knew it of course...but wanted to hear it as he took off his hand of your mouth and looked at you. "Wasn't that your initial plan? And my name is (Y/n)." The sass in your words left him surprised enough to smile and unload his gun. "Wow,getting sassy i see. I like it." "Why did you kill him? Was it because he was involved in some shady buisness?" You talked way more than you should have. And Jimin liked that. More information means more time...which means a better approach towards the target. "What do i look like? A social justice warrior? Honey,i get paid for shit like this. But now,my only problem is you. What should i do with you? You weren't in the frame. And now you are here,bound to a chair...don't get me wrong,i like the view,but you shouldn't have wandered away from that goddamn table yesterday." You simply lowered your head and looked at his hands. He was fidgeting. Unable to decide what he should do. "You should probably kill me then. I mean,if i am too much to handle,and since you know i'll be talking as soon as i get out of here,you should just choke me to death...quick and effective." He smiled and took your chin with two fingers so you were looking into his eyes. "Let me think about it. But i already know i won't kill you...in the end,you're truly innocent so..there would be no fun in that." "So...you're pretty much a social justice warrior then" He let your chin go and stood up to walk around the apartment.

Jimin knew killing you would've made too much mess,plus,cleaning the whole appartment after it would have taken too much time. Plus...he kinda started to like you. You were the type of girl he could settle with. So he went with plan B...or more like,he wanted to go with plan b which was about to let you go and threaten you to not talk. But as soon as he heard footsteps coming towards the apartment,Jimin changed his mind and chose Plan C. "You'll be coming with me. We have to get away. I already lost more than 3 hours with you getting in my way."

You were quickly untied and he secured a gun around your thigh. "You know how to use one? Just in case,to be safe." Why on earth would he give you a gun? "I could kill you right now if i wanted." "Yeah,i know,but you don't want to. That's the positive point. Now open the window and get out." God knows why you obeyed him,but it was almost automatic. Did you like the rush of the situation? Maybe yes. Maybe it was simply because you were scared...maybe it was because you kind of liked the way the whole situation turned out. He was following you as soon as he cleared the area,and unlocked his car. "Get in. I'll be here soon. No more than 2 minutes." "Huh? Where the fuck are you going?" "Getting my shit and then i'll be here." And with that,he was already on his way.

No more than two minutes after,he was back with his suitcase and the briefcase containing some papers,his pc and most importantly,the money. "Buckle the belt. We'll be on the road for 10 to 15 hours..." "Where are we going?" He simply smiled and turned the engine on. "Let that be a surprise..." "So...you're pretty much kidnapping me,right?"

He chuckled and looked into the rear-view mirror. "It's better than the barrel of a gun against your head at least. And...you'll see,it won't be as bad as you think."

Was this really the life you were about to live? Probably. Was it safe? Probably not,but did you have any other choice? No. But...little did you know,it wasn't as bad as it seemed.

(Y'all,i'm sorry if it is bad...i really wanted something different but in the end idk...it doesn't seem good to me...i let you all be the judge)

The Night School Series by C J. Daugherty

Series Rating: ⭐⭐

Separately; down below with their summaries

Remember when I said I’d post more often in September? Yeah me neither cause that never happened! But seriously guys I tried! I kinda just got swept in with the photo challenges that were up for September on bookstagram (Check it out here) so… I did get a lot more reading done then I intended in September so it’s not a total loss... heh.

**DISCLAIMER: This is NOT a spoiler-free review like I usually do. I have a lot to say about these books and I can't vent without keeping it spoiler-free** Buckle up cause I'm about to go full rant!!! There are five books in this series so it’s a long review!

Before I begin, let's just say I've had a tumultuous relationship with these series. 🥴 I read the first book in this series while I was still in my teens and the first book was the bomb. Read the second book a few years later in my early twenties and I was like why haven’t I finished this series already? It was gripping! Didn’t have access to other books till I got a tablet so I indulged.  And now in my late twenties (maybe I've outgrown the angst) my narrative has changed considerably. It's basically just a Harry Potter Rip-off (I’ll get to this later🙄). Here are the main characters in this series:            

Allie Sheridan: Angst teenager. Trouble maker. (at least she starts off as one) Her parents have had enough of her and are carting her off to boarding school (Cimmeria Academy) in the middle of nowhere, England (Very Wild Child, I'm talking about the movie just in case you thought of something else) 😋

Isabelle Le Fanult: The schools very young forest child-like headmistress! Part of heading Night School, A secret organization in school where only the cream of Cimmeria Academy is indulged.

Sylvain Cassel: Exchange student from France. Obsessed with Allie on her first day there. Almost ends up molesting her by getting her drunk at a ball (EW! Unredeemable!). But still wows her over after saving her life multiple times throughout the book. Forced to like him cause he's drop-dead gorgeous? Idk

Carter West: Moody, bad boy orphan. Grew up on the school grounds. He isn’t rich or legacy. The school just adopted him. He's the only character I liked honestly and that survived this horrible series unscathed as himself.

(THE WORST LOVE TRIANGLE TO EVER EXIST develops between molester Sylvain, no brain Allie and Cool Carter)

Jo: cheeky, cute, pretty. Has attention problems. She's fun but also seriously crazy!

Rachel Patel: Asian.Total nerd and has a love of “textbooks” so profound she even sunbathes with them! (Stereotype Much?)

Christopher: Allies brother who ran away from home when he was 19 which is the reason why Allie is so messed up in the first place cause she was hella attached to him.

Gabe: night school student who is the best of the best. He's like the best out of all the night school students. He's the best. Best hair. Best skills. Best bod. Best everything. The best of the best. Did I mention he's the best? This is literally how many times the author addresses his bestness!!! Drove me nuts!! Oh and he's also Jo's boyfriend

Lucinda Meldrum: Allies Grandmother. She's the Don. She’s the chancellor. shes the advisor The Queen or something. Runs the Orion group that heads the academy and night school. Is a big deal in the country and just a big shot but only on the surface because she was just so blah! Like if you hold this much power. Cart the psycho off to a psych ward. If you can cover murders surely putting an actual psycho into a facility should be no big deal?

Nathaniel: some loser who is a cry baby cause people keep leaving him out of wills and giving off their riches to someone who they think is more worthy of it. So he's mad at the rich and the worthy. He divides the leaders of Orion into team Nathaniel and team Lucinda and has a fight off in the dullest way possible.

Raj Patel: Rachel Patel’s Father. Studied in Cimmeria and Night School. Heads a security company so good the PM of England hires from him. But he's still shit because he can't protect the school or Allie from Nathaniel and Gabe and because everyone just waltzes into dorms through windows whenever they like. ( he was a good character but seriously wasted)

Nicole: French. Sylvain’s friend. Gay. Loves Rachel.

Zoe: has Asperger’s syndrome. Small, bird-like. Good at night school. Superfast. Genius, shes 13 but rolling with the seniors.

These are some of the main characters you start off with. Below are short summaries of each book:

Night School: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Strange events are happening at the school. But everyone keeps it hush-hush cause nobody can reveal what they do in Night School. 

A girl dies, Gabe kills her (its passed off as suicide). Half the school is nearly burned down. 

Allie splits with Sylvain and gets with Carter. Nearly dies, Sylvain brings her back via CPR now she is forever indebted or whatever. 

Christopher ran away to Nathaniel when he was 19. Is his minion. Helped burn the school down. 

The book basically has you where it wants you. The build up to the mystery is nice!!

Legacy: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Allie finds out she’s Lucinda Meldrum’s Granddaughter. She’s not a “nobody” she is actually legacy, Allie's mom studied there. 

She joins night school in order to better protect herself. (Night school is basically a school that teaches you combat and self-defense).

Nathaniel is super weird leaving letters for Allie all over the school.  A spy is working for Nathaniel among the school, no one knows who it is.Gabe kills Jo. Tries to kidnap Allie, she causes a car crash and barely lives. 

Carter splits with her cause she meets Sylvain behind his back or something and also shes making goo-goo eyes at him all the time even after he almost molested her but hey he saved her life so all is forgiven. 😑 oh and Jo knew since the first book that Gabe killed the girl at the ball but she never told anyone because she loved him too much. (love is cruel 💔)

Fracture: ⭐.5

Loads of shitty (excuse my french!) plans with fail outcomes where Nathaniel is always one step ahead of them and get this, 35 chapters in this book and they NEVER figure out who the spy is when it has been made super obvious in the second book!!!!! 😡

They find him at the end of book 4 and it was such a meh reveal. I mean he practically had arrowheads pointing at him that he's the spy! It was the kindly science teacher Jerry Cole.🙄

Somewhere along these books, Allie becomes super annoying and you just can't with her. Her world was crashing at this meh reveal and I was like 😑 are you quite done?

Resistance: ⭐.5

I don’t know a bunch of boring stuff. Even though the school is the most “unsafe” place for Allie she still keeps going back! 

This book had 41 chapters and in the last three chapters, Nathaniel wants a parley in some remote hill in England out looking London or whatever. Here Lucinda will give him back his spy teacher who he loves and have a decent conversation but only if Allie is there because I don't know he's obsessed. 

But psycho Gabe shoots Lucinda and she dies in Nathaniel’s arms. He sheds some tears but then gathers his army and starts to hunt Allie but Allie gets away and Carter gets kidnapped!! (or more like sacrifices himself so Allie can remain safe)*ba-dum-tiss*

Also, Sylvain's dad gets injured in an assassination attempt cause he's team Lucinda so Sylvain leaves for France. Allie is still confused and keeps going back and forth between Sylvain and Carter in the most annoying way possible. Like woman, you made up your mind in book 2 what the hell happened suddenly? This was honestly the worst love triangle I have ever read!  

I digress but here’s a  short summary of the love triangle so I don’t have to talk about it again:

THE WORST LOVE TRIANGLE EVEER!!!😠

Book 1 Allie likes Sylvain. He almost molests her. Carter saves her they get together

Book 2 Carter dumps Allie because he's not comfortable with whatever is going on with Sylvain and Allie.  Allie pines after him the whole book while questioning why she likes molester Sylvain. Probably because he always saves her life or something. He nearly gets killed fighting Gabe in one of the books.

Book 3 spends time away from school and lives on Sylvain's farmhouse in France. They get together in the middle of the book but she’s still confused what she feels for Carter? (seriously girl?)

Book 4 she gets with Carter because Sylvain goes back to France for a few days. And she’s a hormonal teenager so yea.

Book 5 Carter and Allie forever. Hallelujah!

Whatever its flaws, Twilight did it way way better!! that was a love triangle that had you rooting for both teams. i was totally #TeamJacob though. 😅😂

Endgame: ⭐⭐

More meh plans ensue. Allie kills Gabe cause yet again he just waltz into the school grounds and all the way to her room. I expected some bad ass crazy fight with action but she just pushes him off the roof. 

Christopher sees the light and comes to Allie. He reveals trade secrets of Nathaniel. 

They get a tech expert from America because Raj’s company cant do anything right! 

Rachel turns out to be gay and Allie is like super pissed that she hid that because “BFFs share everything” (not really) but clueless Allie was also too self-absorbed to care about anything happening outside of her life because this relationship like everything else in this entire series was literally staring everyone in the face!! 😡

 They make a plan to get Carter back and for once they succeed and then Allie signs over her rights of ever stepping into Lucinda's shoes on the Orion board or whatever and in exchange they ask Nathaniel to leave them alone and sell Cimmeria academy back to them… and then they open their own group Aurora similar to Orion but less rich people obsessed and more merit and underdog obsessed. The end.

????!!!! 😬 What was this series? I have no idea. Cause while your reading, you kind of tend to forget that a creepy 30 year old man is obsessed with a 16 year old teenager cause he wants to be validated by the people he loves but they keep giving their riches to someone else and hes just not “worthy” so he kills other 16 year olds to show he is.. where was I going with this? Yea that’s what this book is about! *zoom in on my deadpan stare like they do in The Office*

Do you know what would've been better? If Lucinda faked her death and destroyed Nathaniel from the shadows. Or if there was some twist where team Lucinda had some sort of upper hand well anywhere?!

This series had good build-up till like the first two books. After that, everything was so meh! I was so done with all the fail plans and them losing ALL THE TIME!!! I had such high hopes for this but it was in a word a huge disappointment. Or is that three words?

I'm so put off of reading, for now, because seriously the only reason I didn’t DNF this is cause A) I wanted to know if anything EVER happens right like ever?! B) How it ends and C) I had wasted enough brain cells on it to now not just see it through...

I can't talk anymore about this series than I already have so that’s it for this book review. Have you guys read this series? or have you like never even heard of them?

Whats a book series you’ve read that looked promising and turned out to be a disappointment?

***---------------------------------------------------***

If you're still here, here's a comparison of why it’s a Harry Potter rip off. Maybe I'm reaching or maybe I just dislike this series immensely, but I did see a few similarities…

**SPOILER ALERT**: if you haven’t read the HP Series DO NOT read ahead!!!

+ Allie is completely clueless and reckless kinda like Harry but see Harry was clueless in a cute way and his recklessness usually saved his skin while Allie is annoyingly clueless and her recklessness puts other people in danger too!

+The headmistress who has more than a student-teacher relationship similar to Harry and Dumbledore. Isabell had potential but as the books progressed she just became annoying and just made the worst possible plans to tackle Nathaniel! I was just really disappointed to see her character wasted.

+The family figure she’s in awe of and looks up to who gets killed like Sirius black. Lucinda could've been a great character but seriously I couldn’t care less when she died because there's like zero attachment shown between the two. Also for a powerful lady, she was so very un-powerful. Plus her funeral was supposed to be this great teary affair like Dumbledore's but it was just so meh! I mean there is no comparison. Dumbledore’s funeral is very beautifully written!

+The villain who is obsessed with power and will go to any length to attain it even if it means killing a couple of kids or burning down a historic building. The only difference is that this was worldly power while Voldemort was obsessed with magical power and being immortal.

+The no technology rule. Kinda like Hogwarts (technology couldn’t work there cause of the intensity of magic), these books came out between 2012 -2015. Do you actually think teenagers would live without technology?

+Even with all this circus of a “fight” the teachers had time to teach and pile homework because you know A levels are important but it was so off cause in HP things got worse at opportune times without hindrance of studies.

+The schools' description: the grand ballroom. The “Great dining Hall” the common room!

+Zelanzy a history teacher who just hated Allie for existing kinda like Snape does initially with Harry but Snape’s hatred has a reason (twisted but a reason none the less) while here it was just spite? I don’t know?

I think I’ll go re-read Harry Potter now, to get out of my reading gunk! See you all in a later post!

Le Caniche -  Pure nonsense. Sesshomaru somehow got turned into a toy poodle. Fun!

Le Caniche

“What do you mean that over fluffed handbag is Sesshomaru?” Inuyasha was livid. He was beyond livid. Fist clenched, waving in the air. “Just what is going on here!?” His sword jabbed toward the rabidly barking dog in Kagome’s arms. “Let it go, and I’ll put it out of its misery!”

The puff ball had not stopped trying to rip his leg off since he commented on how cute Rin had gotten recently.

“Inuyasha!” Kagome shouted over the yips, “It’s your own fault, quit aggravating him!” Suddenly the tiny white dog leapt free from her arms and landed on Inuyasha’s face.

He flung backward, knocking over the giant pot of boiling ramen, agony forced the birds to flee from the overhead trees.

“Do you think we should help him?” Sango murmured, huddled together with Miroku, Shippo, Kagome, and Kirara.

“Are you really in the mood to anger Sesshomaru-sama?” Shippo muttered, eyes glued to the hanyou as he leapt this way and that.

“What harm can he do in that form anyway? Best to let things work themselves out in this case.” Miroku winced.

“I can’t believe he ruined dinner,” Kagome huffed, cleaning up the meal.

By the time the brother’s returned, both were missing large patches of hair and fur.

“It’s the Bastard all right!” He growled, scowling.

“Woah!” Shippo chuckled, “What happened to you, Inuyasha!? Couldn’t take on a tiny little dog?” He rolled onto his side, giggling.

Kagome rubbed her lips together, eyes on the little dog in question. His nose was in the air. A bald spot made a halo right in the middle of his head. “Come here Sesshomaru-sama.”

The toy poodle sniffed, a skip to his step as Inuyasha snarled. He hopped into her waiting lap. Making a little circle, he curled against the warmth.

“Wow,” Sango murmured, “I never realized Sesshomaru-sama could be as cute as Kirara.”

Kirara meowed, shoving her head into Sango’s side for attention.

“Oh nothing is as cute as you Kirara.” She petted her.

Miroku sobbed, “Not even me?”

“Especially not you, pervert.” Sango hissed.

Kagome glanced from the still growling Inuyasha, to the cute little poodle curled up in her lap, and came to a decision. “We are going home.”

“Hey, wait a minute!” Inuyasha, stomped his foot, “There ain’t no way in Hell I’m gonna let that fuzzy bastard go home with you!”

He moved to grab her arm, but angry blue eyes held him in his place. “Inuyasha, I’ll say it if you force me to.” She grinned, “We don’t want that, now do we?”

“Feh,” He crossed his arms and looked away, “Don’t come crying back when that asshole eats your damn cat.”

Sesshomaru nuzzled into her petting fingers.

“You wouldn’t do that, now would you Sesshomaru-sama?” She adjusted her backpack on her shoulder and waved goodbye. As she headed down the path, a tiny poofy head popped up above her shoulder glaring amber eyes at a certain hanyou. An even tinier paw made a slicing motion across his neck, and pointed toward Inuyasha.

“Why I outa!” Inuyasha gnashed his teeth, waving his sword as he charged.

“Sit.” Kagome frowned at the poodle in her arms, “And you, you better behave little youkai.”

Sesshomaru huffed, but hunkered back down in her arms.

“Alright,” She stood beside the well, “I hope this works!” She patted his head, careful of his new bald patch, “Don’t be scared.” He blinked at her and upturned his delicate nose. Leaping into the time stream, luckily, Sesshomaru was able to tag along in her arms.

By the next afternoon, Kagome had decided luck was fully on their side. She aced a surprise test. Grandpa hadn’t once tried to purify Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru hadn’t tried to kill anyone, even buyo,...yet.

She took the steps up to the top of the hill by two. Adrenaline pumped through her veins. She opened the door, “Hi Mama, I’m home!” Slipping off her shoes, with a smile on her face, she wondered why her Mother had yet to greet her.

Kagome peered into the kitchen. No one was there.

Souta hollered, “Up here, Kagome!”

A loud hacking sound rang through the silence. Wet gurgly coughing. “What’s wrong?!” She dashed up the stairs and into Souta’s messy room.

There on the floor laid a disheveled, patchy furred, choking poodle.

“Sesshomaru!” She gasped, “Oh Gods, what happened?!”

“Souta tried to feed him a meatball!” Her Mother shouted, running a wet cloth over Sesshomaru’s brow.

A strangled cough left his over stretched mouth.

“How was I supposed to know a Youkai Lord can’t eat meatballs!?” Souta shouted, hands in his hair. His brown eyes were wild.

“What are we supposed to do?” Her Mother looked at her expectantly.

She rubbed her lips together and looked down at Sesshomaru’s trembling little body, “Maybe we should take him to the vet?”

“Here!” Mrs. Higurashi shoved Sesshomaru into the vet receptionist’s arms, “Hurry, fix my dog!”

With big brown eyes, the receptionist took Sesshomaru, “O..okay.” She ran toward the back, “Doctor! This dog needs fixed immediately!”

The waiting room was the worst part. Kagome chewed her nails, staring at the door leading to the back rooms. She wasn’t sure what was going on with Sesshomaru. He wouldn’t die because of a meatball, would he?

Suddenly the door opened. The doctor held Sesshomaru at arms length. The tiny dog snapped his jaws at his just out of reach fingers.

“He’s okay!” Mrs. Higurashi put down her prayer beads.

“Sesshomaru-sama!” Kagome ran over to him, grabbing him out of the doctor’s arms, “How did you fix him?”

“Well!” The doctor shoved his glasses back up his slender nose, “We started to prep him for a neutering and suddenly he coughed up a meatball. Then he went wild. We don’t work on animals that can’t control themselves, young lady.”

Kagome narrowed her eyes, “Fine. No one asked you to neuter him anyway!”

“What do you think getting fixed means!?” The doctor huffed.

Sesshomaru nearly attacked his face, but Kagome held him tighter in her arms.

She spent the entire ride home, and the rest of the evening apologizing to Sesshomaru. Unfortunately he didn’t seem to accept it. The next morning, he wouldn’t allow her to leave.

“Sesshomaru-sama!” She tried to shake him loose of her ankle, “Let go! I have to go to school!”

Souta shoved passed her, “Just let Gramps call you in sick, he does it all the time!”

“But I!” She sucked in a deep breath and slowly exhaled, glaring at the poodle attached to her shoe, “Fine.” Leaning down, she traded her backpack for the dog, “You’re a menace, you know that!”

A weird twist to his lips and she knew for sure he was smirking at her.

She angrily ran her fingers through his soft fur, “I had an idea anyway, to get you back to normal...” The sky was bright blue as she walked them to the main store house of the shrine. All the weird and ancient artifacts would be in this building. “You know,” She gave him a pointed glare, “It’d be helpful if you could actually tell me why you’re like this.”

He yawned, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep. She was tempted to shake him to death.

“Ungrateful little...ow!” He nipped her thumb and she dropped him. “Brat!”

A yip was her only reply as he ran around the corner.

She licked the pinpricks of blood from her finger, and flipped through the pages of the record book, frowning, “Why am I even helping you?”

Suddenly a clawed hand pulled the book from her grasp, “It’s it obvious? You are a strange Miko.”

Her eyes went wide, she peered over at the hand clutching the book she’d had. Smooth creamy skin, sharp claws, a striped wrist. She squeaked, “Sesshomaru-sama! How are you here!” She spun around, “How are you not a poodle!?

He answered with a half shrug, “Some spells are strong against youki, but weak against reiki. A little blood is all that is needed.” Turning on his heel, he walked out of the building. Little glimpses of a perfect buttocks peeked through swaying silver hair.

“What the Hell!” She slapped her hands over her eyes, rushing forward, “Sesshomaru! You can’t go out there naked!” Her foot caught on a loose floorboard, and she landed with a oomphf!

Her palms caught her fall, but unfortunately they also caught something else. Squeeze. “Oh Gods...”

“Miko...” His brow twitched.

“Sorry!” She scrambled to her feet, wiping her hands on her pants as she stared mortified at the wall. “Just uh...wait here, I’ll get you something to wear and then we’ll go back to the Feudal Era.”

“And so,” Kagome gestured to Sesshomaru as she explained to her friends, “Sesshomaru just needed a little bit of Reiki in order to break whatever the spell was. Now everything can go back to normal!”

Inuyasha growled.

“Kagome?” Miroku wondered, giving the oddly thick and revealing pink kimono the Lord of the Western lands was wearing a once over, “Why is Inuyasha so angry?”

“Oh...” Kagome bit her lip, that’s probably because it was her bathrobe, “Who really can tell these days?”

“Miko,” Sesshomaru petted the plush pink collar, “It’s almost like being in your lap again, I shall keep it.”

Inuyasha snarled, rushing his older brother, who merely stepped out of the way of each attack. “Fight me, you Prick!”

“Yep, everything’s back to normal!” Shippo chuckled.

“Hn.” With one punch, Inuyasha went flying into a nearby tree. Sesshomaru peered over at Kagome, a strange glint in his eyes, “Miko, do be careful where you place your hands from now on. Until next time.”

Her blue eyes bulged, face instantly beet red. She blinked at his retreating form. The large Hello Kitty patch on his back was striking.

“Kagome,” Inuyasha grumbled, “What the Hell was that supposed to mean?”

She shrugged, keeping her cool, “How should I know? He’s your Brother.”

“Half Brother!”

AN: This is completely because of an inspiring conversation with RTB and VS*.

Chapter 9: La Grande Illusion

A Riverdale Recap

With Jason gone, the shareholders to the Blossom Maple Syrup company are wondering who will inherit the empire. Hint – no one wants it to be Cheryl. Now the Blossom family is worried about the shareholders making a power play to take over.

At the Cooper home, Betty shares her worries about Polly to Jughead. She says she understands why Polly wouldn’t want to talk to her parents, but she doesn’t get why Polly’s ignoring her. Jughead decides to comfort her with a kiss. Since Alice has no concept of boundaries, she just walks right in on them and starts putting away Betty’s laundry while also telling them both of her plans to write a tell-all exposing the Blossoms. Betty says that she doesn’t think that will help bring Polly and Alice says that it’ll personally make her feel better. Those Coopers sure know how to prioritize.

Hermione tells Veronica that the lawyers are coming to take their statements. Veronica asks if she’ll have to lie and her mom says she’ll have to “shield the truth a little”. And since they’re talking about things that make them uncomfortable, Hermione tells her that Hiram also found out about the affair she’s been having with Fred. Veronica suggests that she tells Fred before someone else does. When the teenagers make more sense on the show…

Finally, these people make it to school, but it seems class still has not started. Maybe it’s the middle of the day. Cheryl asks Archie to escort her to her family’s annual tree tapping ceremony that they hold exclusively for the shareholders. She says she can’t face it alone now that Jason is gone. Archie says he can’t do it because he has a girlfriend. Ah yeah! Valerie. Remember her? It’s like we saw more of her before she and Archie started dating. He suggests that she take someone else. Cheryl says that it has to be Archie because he defended her when her own parents didn’t, but we’ve seen the shareholders and they’re almost all redheads or are wearing red, so I say, what’s the real reason?

It appears everyone is getting a little piece of plot this episode; after Ethel reads a sad poem in class, Veronica asks her if everything is okay. Ethel tells her that her parents are fighting and things at home aren’t great. It would probably seem sadder if not for the fact that this describes literally everyone on this show. Veronica offers to cheer her up by inviting her over for lunch and pampering and she says Kevin will be there. This is news to Kevin, who not only was not a part of the conversation, but also was not even sitting with them.

So after leaving the student lounge, Kevin asks Veronica what all of that was about. Veronica tells him that she vowed to never ignore a cry for help after she and a former best friend emotionally terrorized and bullied some girl from school just because they could. And Kevin is listening to this story horrified and is like, “Oh my God, did you drive her to suicide?!” and Veronica is like, “What?! No!” But it really did sound like that’s where she was going, so you know, phrase it better next time Veronica. Veronica and her friend’s treatment was so bad that the girl left the school and had to go to therapy. You know, this is told like a one off story, but I don’t think this is the last we’ve heard of this. At some point, more of Veronica’s old ways have to come to light. We’ve even seen hints of it in her previous behavior.

While this is going on, Penelope Blossom comes from nowhere to ask Archie to escort Cheryl to the tree tapping ceremony (get out your giggles about the “tapping”). Archie starts to off the same excuse he gave Cheryl, so Penelope offers to help get him into prestigious music academy’s summer program through a family connection; Archie agrees and Penelope has a moment because he reminds her of Jason. It’s uncomfortable. Actually, every scene involving the Blossoms for the duration of the episode is uncomfortable.

It appears that Archie immediately told the first people he knew that he’s going to the program because Betty and Jughead walk in to Kevin saying they’re talking about Archie’s admittance. Archie finally clarifies and tells them about the exchange with Penelope. Jughead and Veronica immediately switch to “oh bad idea, you should not do that”, but Betty has ulterior motives and tells Archie it’s a great idea and asks him to check on Polly for her. He assures the others that he shouldn’t worry and can take care of himself. They say the most convincing lies are the ones we tell ourselves.

Archie goes to the ceremony and helps calm down a nervous Cheryl. She does a good job of getting the maple syrup out of the tree and her parents look relieved. After the whole group takes a creepy photo that looks like it’ll be in a future textbook on a chapter about cults (it’s because of all the red/redheads), Archie goes to tell Polly that Betty is worried about her. Polly says Betty shouldn’t be worried and that is the entirety of their conversation and Archie “trying”.

As everyone is walking back, Archie and Cheryl overhear some trustees talking about how unfit Cheryl is, using her breakdown at the funeral for proof of her being unstable. Her breakdown at her twin brother’s funeral. Because he was murdered. Whether or not there was some kind of weirdness happening between Cheryl and Jason, anyone in that situation would be likely to cry a lot. Archie jumps to her defense.

When they finally reach their destination, Cliff tells Archie that he was hesitant about him coming, but now he’s glad Archie is there. Not sure why; Archie hasn’t actually done anything. This really may just be because of the red hair. He invites Archie to accompany Cheryl to a banquet they’re having tomorrow. Archie says that that’s not really his thing and he tries to get out of it, but Cliff insists. Then Cheryl jumps in saying he’ll need a proper suit and Cliff says he’ll have his tailor fit him for it. And hey, free suit, so Archie agrees. Look at how quickly Archie couldn’t take care of himself.

At the Lodge home, Betty joins Veronica, Kevin, Ethel, and Hermione for lunch. Ethel isn’t eating because of everything on her mind and she tells them that she thinks her dad had some bad luck with their savings and thinks that they may be losing the house.  That’s a lot to share with people you have  a few classes with. Veronica tells her that they have a lot in common and works to reassure her and says, “You’ve got this Ethel Muggs”. Hermione recognizes “Muggs” and has another “guess who else hates your dad?!” talk with Veronica in regards to the Muggs family. Hermione heard that the Muggs’ may be testifying against Hiram.

Since Hermione is having a bunch of awkward conversations, she decides to also go and tell Fred the truth about Lodge Industries being the buyer. She tells him that if she knew the shady stuff Hiram was planning then she never would have agreed to go along with the construction. She also tells him that Hiram hired the people to vandalize his work site because of the affair. Just get it all out in one go. Fred is super pissed about being dragged into the middle of this war between Hiram and Clifford Blossom while Hermione knew all about it. He has to leave to take a walk.

Archie goes to the Coopers to tell them what he learned in his less than 10 second conversation with Polly. He thinks that Polly won’t be coming back based on “Betty shouldn’t be worried about me”. Archie also tells them about the trustees potentially going for a hostile takeover, which delights Alice.

The next day at school, Betty and Jughead talk to Cheryl about Polly. Cheryl says that they should be celebrating – a doctor confirmed her grandmother’s prediction about Polly having twins. Betty is hurt that Polly didn’t say anything to her. So wait, Polly was really never getting medical care at that Home for “Troubled Youth” then? How did they not know that she was pregnant with twins before this? They should have known this months ago.

After school, Veronica has Ethel come over because she has some clothes and accessories that she wants to give Ethel. Ethel naturally has some reservations about just taking all of these expensive things and Veronica tells her that she wants her to have it. They’re gifts that her father brought home whenever he messed up; this includes the pearls she always wears. Obvious foreshadowing, how fun! Ethel tells Veronica that she just wants to be her friend; she doesn’t need the gifts.

Cheryl goes to the Andrews’ house and tells Fred that he’s looking extremely DILF-y before just walking in. You know what Cheryl, never change. She’s delivering a gift to Archie – an ’84 Les Paul guitar. She gives him a kiss on the cheek and leaves. Fred suggests that Archie return the gift and Archie is all, “Aw, c’mon, the Blossoms are being really nice and they’re helping me out.” But even if they weren’t “helping” that gift is way too much. Fred tells him that the Blossoms are trying to run the business into the ground and look at people like them as if they’re dirt on their shoes. And still Archie says, “Maybe if you just talk to Cliff about how he’s hurting the business…” Wow. There’s naïve and then there’s this.

Alice and Betty go to the newspaper office to talk to Hal about the expose that Alice wrote on the Blossoms. However, Hal technically is the owner of the paper and he refuses to publish it; he also locked Alice out of the system so she can’t publish it herself. Alice should have seen that coming though. Then to add insult to injury, Hal fires her. So Alice and Betty walk out. However, Alice isn’t finished and she picks up a loose brick and throws it through the glass door yelling, “I want my daughter back you bastard!” Hal and Betty look on in shock like she’s crazy, but it was really cool and it actually makes me respect Alice more.

Archie completely ignored that conversation he had with his father and is getting fitted for a tux by Cliff’s tailor. He asks if he and Cliff can talk for minute and the tailor gives them the room. Archie asks if Cliff can help his father instead of the favor for the music school. Cliff is impressed by Archie negotiating for his dad and says that they already called the uncle at the music school; however, he says they can talk more after the banquet about helping Fred. Archie is smiling all satisfied, as if he actually did something.

Betty fills Jughead in on everything that happened last night with her parents and cries about her family falling apart. Jughead comforts her and says that her family won’t fall apart because she’s holding it together; but that’s a pretty inappropriate job for a teenager in terms of family. The kid shouldn’t be holding a family together.

Valerie makes an appearance to add to Archie clearly not paying attention to this Blossom situation. She tells him that Cheryl came to talk to her bragging about how she’s going to steal Archie away. And Archie just brushes it off like he’s done all episode.

Oh, forgot about Veronica! She still has a storyline. Kevin comes up to Veronica and Betty and tells them that Ethel’s dad tried to kill himself; he’s going to be okay, but he is in the hospital. Veronica heads off to the bathroom to cry and she angrily rips off her pearl necklace. That’s so hazardous; I hope she cleaned that up. Betty comes in to comfort her.

Betty and Veronica bring flowers to Ethel and her mom at the hospital. But Ethel’s mom doesn’t know who Veronica is and the guilt is getting to Veronica, so she tells Ethel’s mom that she’s a Lodge. Mrs. Muggs goes from thankful to angry and tells Ethel that Veronica isn’t her friend and that Veronica’s dad is the reason Mr. Muggs tried to kill himself; she tells Veronica that her father belongs in prison for life. I mean, maybe, but I don’t really see what that has to do with Veronica herself.

At the Blossom banquet, Cheryl tells Archie that her parents wanted her to fail the tree tapping and they aren’t being nice or genuine. All of that would have been nice a day earlier Cheryl; though knowing Archie, he would just ignore it. Clifford speaks alone with Archie and tells him that he will help his father; Archie thanks him and tells him that he doesn’t have to keep doing him favors because he genuinely likes Cheryl and is happy to help her. Cliff then tells him that the board doesn’t like Cheryl because, while she’s smart, she’s not stable or trustworthy. However, he thinks that Archie being attached to her helps the “picture” that they’re trying to sell. Because the behavior of the board is contingent on exactly how these teenagers act today. None of them know Archie, and honestly, if they did, they would probably just take their chances with a solo Cheryl.

Polly politely cuts into Archie and Cliff’s conversation – and just in time because Archie clearly thought the conversation was getting weird – and the two of them start dancing. Polly tells Archie to tell Betty to stop asking about her and that she’s at Thornhill to investigate the Blossoms because she’s sure they have something to do with Jason’s murder. She has more to say, but Archie gets distracted by seeing Cheryl run off after a heated conversation with her dad and he decides to go after her. A move simultaneously kind and stupid; nothing would fit Archie Andrews more.

Cheryl tells Archie that she knows everyone, including her own family, hates her. Archie says forget what they think and that he thinks she’s awesome. Which is very sweet to say, but is so empty. She still has to live in that house, no matter how much Archie thinks she’s “awesome”. Cheryl tells him that she thinks he may be the only decent person in Riverdale and she kisses him. He lets her for a moment, but then he pulls back and walks away.

Incredibly, it proves to be a good thing that Archie kept hanging out with the Blossoms because he overhears Clifford and Penelope talking about how they’re responsible for Hiram Lodge going to jail. He moves along and Cheryl catches up to him. She tells Archie if he leaves then everything they’re giving him disappears. He tries to say that he came as a favor to her mom but Cheryl says she knows it’s really because of the favors, which means he’s not as different as she wants him to be. Archie can’t take it anymore and he leaves.

Betty and Jughead tell Alice that they heard from Archie about Polly choosing Thornhill so she could spy. That makes Alice feel a bit better, but she’s still worried that Polly won’t come home. Betty says that she will and that they can write about the Blossoms with Polly’s insight. Jughead offers Alice to come join them at the school paper. Alice kinda scoffs since it’s the school paper, but it’s not like she has anything better to do.

The next morning, Archie catches Valerie on her way to school and he tells her that she was right about the Blossoms and he’s done with them. Only took him an entire episode, so he’s making progress. Valerie says that great but she’s done with him because all he’s done is ignore her since they got together. That explains why we’ve only seen her for like a minute total over like three episodes.

Fred tells Hermione that he’ll stay on with the construction (his livelihood does kind of depend on this contract) but there will now be new conditions: everything they do is legal, he wants 20% of a stake because he’s tired of being used, and their romantic relationship is done. Somehow she’s surprised by that last part, even though that’s the one she should have seen coming.

Veronica goes to class early and apologizes to Ethel on behalf of her family. Ethel responds by being rational and saying it’s not her fault what did. Plus Ethel appreciates Veronica being there for her when no one else was. At this point several teens in Riverdale could be emancipated and do significantly better than being with their parents.

Archie tells Betty and Jughead what he overheard the Blossoms saying about Hiram Lodge. They think that’s a good motive for Hiram killing Jason and they put his name on the murder board.

the girl with the shadow eyes by.jackie dietrich chapter 1 we are at the funeral of my mother died she died from a car crash she died from the impact There are many people that I've never met in my lifetime.I am only 10 and my younger brother is only 7 years old. I can't cry because I have to be strong for my younger brother Jake.Dad: Amy it time to go Amy: Ok I,m coming we said our goodbyes and we left the funeral and I hope we would come back and see my mom gravestone aging but I was wrong about everything i thought that was good.That very day that my dad starts abusing us was the day when I got my shadows in my eyes and the scars on my arm and the bruises my dad but there.When I and my brother did work around the houses he would sit on his chair and drink away his pain while I and my brother had todeal with the pain with it by crying I gave up on crying once you cry too much you just can't cry anymore.I stop eating lately because my dad buys more beer than food and my brother needs the food and I can eat at school people at school noticed that I,m really skinny and one of my friends pointedout my bruises I start to wear long selves and "tell them I trip or something" if they ever found out me and my brother could be taken away. Chapter 2 When I got home from school my brother was at his friend houses lucky my dad doesn't hit him just me because I protected him. My dad asks "me to clean the houses" and I did while he drunk away his pain.After I clean the houses my dad starts to point out each spot I missed and when I did miss the spot he would either cut my arm or hit me.The cuts he did with a knife soon when I turned 15 they left scares my brother is 12 he doesn't have scares because I take them for him I tell "him to run to his friend's houses and don't look back" When my dad see what I told my brother he got a the knife and cuts my arm and this time he did 3 one for "telling my brother to run two for protecting him three for not letting him take the pain".As I got older my dad had some many scars on my arm that he would reopen the cuts.My dad told me "how he hated me" when he was drunk and "how he wishes I didn't look like my mom" and I swear one day I will get out of here me and Jake will leave this hell of a house.I started to save up our money so we can get out of here when I turn 18.My brother Jake started to work for his neighbors and he stayed positive about everything Chapter 3 my dad does not hit my brother I and my dad had a deal that if my brother did something wrong I would take the punishment and I did if my brother talks back or just did something wrong while my dad was drunk I took the hits, cuts.When it was my sixteen birthday my dad said" how he hated me and wished I was died and said he would take my mom instead or me" and then I said "mom would hate you are a drunk who abused your kid's mom would wish you have died".My dad looks at me with hatred and he slaps me in my face and then pushed me on the ground and got the knife ad cut me 5 time my little brother was home he heard my screams and when Jack came out to see what my dd was doing Jack said "stop" and i "yelled to go to your friend's houses now".When he left he was crying.I was at school the teacher said "there was a new student coming today and his name is Daniel Hunter".I didn't pay attention in class but I pass in all my classes test but I still take normal classes.When Daniel came in class he introduces his self and his kinda cute black hair brown eyes tall but I don't have time for him or friends or boyfriends I stopped hanging out with friends I used to in middle school.Miss Smith says "Amy come to her desk I did she whisper in my ear why do u wear long sleeve all year long" I told her louder so the class can hear me "that none of your damn business so but the hell out" with that I grab my stuff and walk out she said "where are your going" I said "up your fucking ass now leave me the hell alone: she said" go to the principal office now".Before I could get out the door Daniel said "he need to see the principal, Hawkins".Miss Smith said "Amy will take you" and he got up got his thing and walk out of the room with Amy Miss Smith gave me a mean look and I gave it back to her the whole class was laughing at everything that happens. Chapter 4 When I and Daniel start to walk down the hallway he asks "why I got pissed at the teacher" I said" because the teacher never minds her own business she always asking why I wear long sleeves why I,m to skinny it gets me pissed off".Daniel looks at me and said "I think your fine just the way you are" my cheeks turn red and said "I,m getting out of here but here the main office" and I slipped out that "if my dad finds out he would". I stopped there before I slipped out he would cut me he looks confused and curious he asks "what would he do" and I said "I got to go see you later".He asked "if he could come".I didn't know what to say a boy has never asked if they could come when I skipped classes or walked out because I got pissed at the teacher while I was thinking of what to say I took noticed that he was looking at me not checking me out but looking into my eyes he was trying to figure out what type of person I am.He finally broke the silence and said "can I pleases skip school with you is almost over" he was right I have Miss Smith in my last class of the day I said" yes you if you get into trouble I,m not taking the blame" he cuts me off and says " ill take the blame for both of us".I look at him with a smile and he smiles back and he blushes I wonder why he blushing. Chapter 5 we go out in the cold we have are jackets on and its freezing he says "let's go to Starbucks or somewhere to get some hot drinks".We go to Starbucks and I try to go up and get our drinks I pull out my wallet and he says "no I,m paying for our drinks" he says "now can you please sit down and let me get it and tell me what you want" I say "I want a mocha cappuccino they are very expensive" I lay out how much they are and he brings the drinks and I get it and hand him the money to pay for what he paid for.He says" no i am paying for it" and he didn't take the money I told him' that I wouldn't fell right if he paid for it and I didn't pay him back"he gave me a smirk and said "don't worry about it you can pay me back by being my friend".and I gave him a smile but something inside of likes the way he treats me he knows I don't have any friends but he still wants to be my friend he starts to talk but I as lost in my mind about him and about family.He asks me a question and I didn't hear what he said at all Daniel: Amy are you paying attention to what I was saying at all. Amy: um no sorry I was in deep thought what are we talking about aging. Daniel: we were talking about us and what were gonna do after high school and I ask if you would like to come over to watch a movie with me. Amy: Oh sorry and I don't know what I want after high school and sure I love to watch a movie with you. Chapter 6 When we get to his house he opens the door and invites me in he tells me he lives with his older brother but his older brother never home Amy: if you don't mind if I ask what's your brother name and how old is he? Daniel: his name is Tyler and he is 19 he really cool but I don't get to talk to Tyler much because of his work what about you do you have any siblings and what do your parent do if you live with them? Amy: It's a long story. Daniel: it okay I can listing to you all day. Amy:"blushing" ok my mom died when I was 10 and my brother was 7 she died from a car crash she was an amazing mom she was the best mom anyone could hope for and that drunk monster who ran Into her needs to burn in hell after she died my dad lost it and got drunk I take of the house my little more at his friends house then home I ask his friend, mom, if he could stay with for awhile until my dad gets better he hasn't. I can't tell him about cutting or hitting Daniel: Wow I,m so sorry that why you always cut class I wish I could protect you more. Amy: it ok do not worry about it.As I got that last word out of my mouth he came and gave me a hug and Daniel said "I am always gonna worry about you if you ever need me call me okay"I don't now what happen but my heart starts to jump out of my chest.Since that moment I felt something for him. Chapter 7 a couple weeks later I and Daniel got closer to each and I've been falling for him more and more I,m gonna make a move tonight since his brother at work all the time I,m usually spending nights at his houses and I still hide my scars from him I feel if he finds out he, it will ruin our readership we are on winter break Amy: um Daniel I have a question.
