Testing Fate
Part 23
*Justin’s POV*
I sat on the sofa rubbing my temples trying to take calming breaths as my phone began to ring.
“What?” I asked in as sigh not even bothering to look at the name on the screen.
“Justin, we need you down in the studio for a bit. We have a little problem,” I heard scooter said.
I sighed, throwing my head back before mumbling an okay and sliding my phone in my pocket.
I slowly walked up the stairs to Selena’s bedroom before knocking on the door and wiggling the loose doorknob.
“Hey Sel, Scoot called and they need me at the studio for something. I don’t know how long I’ll be but I just thought I’d let you know,” I said.
Selena hadn’t even moved an inch since I walked in she just stared at her phone not even looking up at me.
I nodded to myself and closed the door walking out to my car and speeding off to the studio.
I pulled up to the studio before I realized how drained I really was.
Since Brayden’s passing I hadn’t really had a chance to cope with it myself because I was too busy trying to get Selena to feel something.
I walked into the building with my hands on my head.
“Someone looks exhausted,” Scooter noted as I looked at him with a dead face.
“Let’s just say it had not been a good few weeks,” I sighed throwing myself down in the chair.
“Well , brace yourself for some more bad news,” he said crossing his arms.
“Go ahead. Can’t be worse than your son dying, your girlfriend not wanting to face the problem and having a new baby and getting rejected for marriage.”
“Whoa,” he said scratching his neck awkwardly.

“Yeah so go head lay it on me,” I said looking at him.
“Well the label says we need one more song but the deadline is tonight,” he said making me groan.

After about an hour of racking our brain, we couldn’t think of anything. In face I couldn’t think of anything but Bray.
“I got it,” I said out of the blue as I thought about how much I missed him.
“Sha la la la la, sha la la la la
I used to call you my angel
Said you was sent straight down from heaven
I’d hold you close in my arms
I love the way you felt so strong
I never want you to leave
I want you to stay here holdin' me
I miss you, I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here some how
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you,” I sang with a smile as I wrote the lyrics down on a spare pad we had laying around.
“Justin that’s perfect,” he said after I recorded it.
“Thank you Brayden,” I whispered knowing he was right there next to me. “I miss you.”
*Selena’s POV*
“Selena are you sure that’s a good idea?” Taylor asked into the phone.
“Are you kidding? This is the best idea I have ever thought of. This is like a win-win. Justin gets the commitment he wants without having to actually get married and therefore he will give me the baby I want,” I explained with a smile.
“When are you going to get them?” she asked knowing I was right.

“That’s another thing. When we got home after our fight I went up the my room and started searching them on my phone when Justin came in the room saying he had to go somewhere for something and I found a store still open and they had the prefect sized for Justin and I so I bought them right then and there,” I said proud of myself.
“How much did it cost?” she asked out of curiosity.
“Like 25,000. That’s not too bad,” I said as I heard front door down stairs open and close. “He’s here. I’ll call you later and tell you how it goes,” I said hanging up.
“Selena!” Justin called as his heavy feet traveled up the stairs.
“In here,” I called out.
Justin opened the door with a sigh and gave me a faint smile.
“Sel, I’m sorry. This fight was stupid,” he said sitting on the bed next to me.
“Justin, marriage is just a ring you can take off when you get in a fight so I got us something better, something that’s forever.” I pulled a bag out from under my pillow and handed it to him. “Those are cartier bracelets. You screw them on with a special screwdriver and they don’t come off like a ring. They are on for good. It shows permeate dedication to one another.”
We got the out of the boxes and screwed it on. “Let’s get rid of the screwdriver,” I said with a smile.
Together we climbed up on the room of the house and Justin chunked the screwdriver into the small set of woods that were behind so we wouldn’t be able to find it to take the bracelets off ever. This was forever.

Triquetra: A Multi-Class Isekai or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Accept the End of the Multiverse
Triquetra: An Multi-Class Isekei Adventure I know, I know, you have heard it all before. Yes I was hit by a truck. Yes I ended up in a Fantastical World suspiciously similar to one of my favorite RPG’s. Yes I had access to cheats no one else possessed. Yes it was a world of classes and levels and magic powers. Finally, yes I was an overweight middle-aged loser failing to live up to my potential. Given my eclectic reading habits I should have been better prepared. Unfortunately I was not. Sure I could multi-class with reduced penalties, but my starting class was Scholar! No combat abilities and very limited spellcasting. My HUD interface costs mana to use, and my universal translation seemed to be outsourced to Giggle Translate. I’m supposed to be an OP MC! Not a slice-o- life struggling to survive in the wilderness. Not to mention the Arch-Magus who summoned me, mistimed everything, I arrived 300 years too late, after the fall of the Empire I was supposed to save. The surviving remnants have devolved into Murder Hobos. What’s worse is that the Great Devourer, Ancient Calamity, and Spawn from the Void Beyond Time, Space, and Sanity is now aware of a new world to plunder, a world called Dirt! (Told you this translator sucks) Warning Extra Crunchy Authorial Vebosity! Lots of infodump in the early chapters, but I learn my lesson and it does get better, eventually. I do not own the Cover image, found it on a free image site.

TTWN: The Tale of Will Newbie
This series is inspired by the music of TheFatRat, please take a look if you don't know who he is here. Everyone wants to live in a fantasy world, right up until they have to face dark beings beyond their comprehension. Everyone wants to be a hero, right up until every day becomes a fight for their life. Sixteen-year-old introvert Will Newbie lives in a fantasy world. He's the hero of this story. He has been left with nothing; after a brief adventure in the mountains near his home, he returns to find his entire home missing, every person mysteriously vanishing into thin air. All that's left for him is his rather, "disembodied" older sister and the quest given to him by a rat-turned-god: Gather a team of Champions, fight back against the forces of Sin, and save the world. But if he's learned anything, it's that being a hero isn't as easy as it sounded in the books. So, he'll have to keep himself together, keep his team from tearing each other apart, and figure out just how much he's willing to sacrifice for what he believes in. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! This is my first fully written story, so I want to improve. Positive or negative, I'll take it into account! I will try to update weekly every Friday, but as I'm pretty new to this kinda grind expect some irregularities. The covers are also by moi, done in Pixel Studio. Quite proud of them, really.

Grey [HIATUS]
I was originally fueled by anger and disdain to write this and looking back, most of what I wrote for this story was unplanned and a bit trashy. I kinda stopped having ideas for this, so I stopped in the end. If you're looking at this right now, you probably shouldn't read this because it's only 12 crappy chapters in and yeah... Sorry to the people who might've liked this. (Maybe one day I'll continue this, but for now, I have other plans) Grey, a prince, is unsure about what to do when he starts running away from an enemy beast tamer. He's unsure on what to do now that his father, the king, is dead. In the forest alone, he'll discover a small companion and a rogue. Together will they figure a way to take back Grey's kingdom? Or will they just die in vain? Let's be honest here, most of you probably like the fox aspect of the story the most. (BTW the cover design is made by me. Terrible, I know) I'm kind of done with writing bs descriptions that I might change in the future, plus I'm not very good with being thoughtful with quotes and stuff like that. I just write what pops into my mind, which is usually stupid things. So the description may or may not be accurate so I've changed it to being very vague.

Someday someone will find this and I hope they will read every chapter.I am still overly embarrassed to write such little poems, imagine my family finds out. ,:O__________________________________________Well I don't know if that's poetry but still, for me it is. I try to write my feelings down and I provide little prompts that all occurred on real experiences or real situations. (mostly)__________________________________________I pretty much have many random thoughts I do not wanna talk about or keep to myself.Most of the chapters are issues that don't have a connection to me though.__________________________________________>>>I do not know if the poems need trigger warnings but if they do I definitely will put them in before the chapter starts.__________________________________________Oh, and I also drew the cover at 3 in the morning with 4 years old chalk. :DWell I did not plan to actually start a wattpad story or whatever you could call it but the cover somewhat matches.Let's not talk about the bad quality though. :D__________________________________________ The 07.09.2022
