Advertisement
2 weeks later:
Third POV:
There was nothing left of that what happened a few weeks ago. They were like a normal couple again. Robert hasn't apologized what he did but Claire had decided just let it slide. He didn't know what he was doing, she thought.
Claire's POV:
We were sitting on breakfast table when Robert opened his mouth and told: "I'd finally like to introduce you to my parents" My gaze turned over him. "Really? I mean.. Wow.. Are you sure that you want take that kind of risk?" I giggled. "I'm so sure about that and no it's not a risk at all. They want meet you so badly too" Robert said.
I looked him and he raised his eyebrows. "So what will you say? Yes or no?" I sighed and nodded finally. "Okay but it's not my problem then if your family broke because of me" He laughed. "You're so cute" he said and kissed my cheek before he stood up the table. "I just wanted warn you" I rolled my eyes to him.
"Thank you for that but I think that they will fall in love you right away when I introduce you to them." he yelled to the kitchen. I finished my toast and drank my coffee before I moved there too. "so when are we going there?" I asked and put my plate in the sink so he would wash it.
"Tonight" he told shortly and made me nervous. "Tonight?" Wow, that was quickly. What if I would have said no?" "Then I'd have just called them that I had to go in work or something and that we have to change the day" he told out. His answer impressed me.
"Woah, but I don't have idea what should I wear. Like I have nothing good or which would make me look smart. What color your parents like? Should I wear dress or no?" panic started take me but Robert just laughed to me. "Seriously! Don't laugh. Help me" I sighed and walked in my wardrobe.

He followed me and leaned against the door frame. "They like girls who wear dress" he told and I moved to my dress section. "Color?" I asked and he walked next to me. "Red" he told and pulled one dress out of my dress boy. "This" he said and handed me a hanger where was my deep dark red long dress which I had last time used when.. we were visiting at Justin's parents place.
I gulped and shook of the thoughts out of my head. I nodded and gave a smile to Robert. "I didn't know that you have an eye to fashion" I giggled before I told him to leave my wardrobe so I would change.
Justin's POV:
We were sitting on the table at my parent' place. Julia was sitting next to me her dark dress on which I had bought to her just a few days ago. "You look pretty, sweetheart" my mom complimented her and she tanked. They had hit it off right away when we stepped in.
"So how long have you been dating now?" she continued. We looked each other. "Maybe a month" I told and smiled to Julia. Mom smiled back but my dad's face didn't seem change at all. I didn't let it ruin our night. We finished our dinner and stepped out of the table. "Thank you Pattie for a lovely dinner" Julia thanked and I cheered inside my head. "No need to thank you, Julia"
I stayed still a few minutes in the kitchen with my mom and helped her get plates out of the table. "She's pretty" she told and smiled for me. "But was that Claire's old dress?" she asked and made my heart skip a beat. "No.." I mumbled and moved back to table get last glasses there. "Oh" she mumbled. Air between us had got a bit sheepish.

"I'm happy when you're happy but I really liked Claire and.. it will take a time to adjust on that-- uhm, situation" she mumbled before I set the last dishes on their sink table. "Of course, mom but I'm happy that you accepted her" I smiled weakly. "Of course, it's your life. You do your own decisions"
I walked to living room and sat on the couch where Julia was already looked some old albums where were pictures of me as a kid. "You look so cute on this one" she smiled and pointed the picture where I was making a snowman. I was about 5-years-old on that picture. I chuckled and nodded. "Yeah and there that getting uglier started"
She looked me disbelieved and pushed me against my chest. "You're not ugly" she said and made me chuckle. "Next to you I am" I said shortly and made her blush lightly
"Justin, can you come here for a second?" I heard my dad's voice asking from the door and I nodded back. "Just a second, baby" I whispered to Julia before I followed my dad to his office.
"So what's up?" I asked and looked how my dad seemly tried find right words to say his thing. "Son.. thing is like that.." he started and sighed. "We're still kind of sad that you broke up with Claire. I mean she was a rea-"
"No dad, let me correct a bit SHE decided leave. Not me" I couldn't believe that he was really talking about that now with me. I had thought that they had understood the situation already. Our thing was over.
"But you let her just walk away?" he said coldly back. I sighed deeply to his comment before I turned around back to door. "If that was only thing you wanted to tell, I'll leave and join with my girlfriend" I told but Jeremy shook his head.
"No, actually I wanted just say that it's nice to see you with someone. We both me and your mom think so. So happy and full of energy" he told. "Thanks, dad" I showed a little smile back to him before I opened the door.
"But I'm not sure is that girl there for your kind self or your moneys" he added but I didn't hear that part of his talk so clearly anymore.
Thankfully.

Blood Quest - A LitRPG
Leon's family has been diagnosed with a new type of incurable blood disease. It's an absolute death sentence and when it turns aggressive, you only have a few more years of painful life left to live. His mother has just begun the last years of the disease when a person supposedly comes back from death with supernatural abilities. He talks about a choice you get after death--get an extra chance to come back to life, or die. Even with Leon's diminishing life span, he won't consider the option of going there, until he meets another survivor who had the same goal as him and succeeded. Leon has a choice to make—die now for a chance to save his mother, or die in a few years, where the disease rapidly melts his muscles from his own body. He enters a game-like world, a sort of limbo, where his ultimate goal is to climb the tower of Katastroph before his mother's time runs out. There are a few problems with this though. The tower is almost impossible to beat, if you die you won't revive, and only three people in over twenty years have actually made it back. Leon has two years to climb the tower, with the help of the few people willing to try, while Ai, the tutorial guide, makes things harder for them. ***** The story starts pretty dark but goes onto a lighter tone. Then (more) dark again. Disclaimer: This story is an experimental project and I hope to get any and all feedback you can give me. Warning: First draft. Chapters tend to be between 3400-4100 words long (about 8-11 A4-pages). Mentioning it since I've seen it in other fictions :P Sometimes they're shorter, sometimes they're longer. ******************************** CHAPTER RELEASES UPDATE: As the first "book" in the series is done, I'm going to release coming chapters somewhat sporadically, and when Writathon ends, I'll probably go back to publishing one chapter per weekend. We'll just have to wait and see! I hope you enjoy the story! I really appreciate all comments and feedback, so if you have anything to say, feel free to voice it :) ************ [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
