"It's that bad, eh?" Jeff broke the silence as he read our body language
We kept our gaze on him and he sighed
"Look I came here to talk to you guys but if you're going to give me attitude and just stare at me, I'll walk back straight out the door" Jeff told us
"Do it" Jessica challenged him
"We didn't ask you to come here, you decided to come" I reminded him
Jeff kept our glares until he blinked and closed his eyes as he leaned on the wall, taking a deep breath
"You said this is about the dance..." Jeff spoke again more to himself than to us "What did I do?" He groaned
"Jeff, seriously?!" I exclaimed
"You ignored us the entire fucking night!" Jessica added
Jeff opened his eyes and looked at us
"That's not true, I talked to you guys" Jeff defended himself
"That's bull fucking shit" Jess told him
"Talking to us at the snacks table for a second and then rushing off is not talking to us, Jeffery" I shook my head as I pursed my lips
Jeff winced a little at the sound of his full name
"You didn't come to me either, you can't put the whole blame on me" He threw his hands up in irritation
"Oh please" I scoffed "You showed up at the last possible minute, we shouted at you when you finally showed up, you saw us, you waved at us, you walked right past us, you danced right beside us and acted like we weren't there, you barely talked to us at the snacks table, you saw us slow dancing with the other guys and still you didn't say a word, you ignored us all night, you complained on Instagram that you didn't get any pictures with us, you commented on our pictures like you hung out with us the whole night" I listed everything he had done "As if you didn't know all of this" I finished
"Look I'm sorry that you both feel like I ignored you, that wasn't my intention. I was busy with Claire, she was my date. You guys know how excited I was about going to this formal with her" Jeff told us
"That doesn't matter" Jess said "I went to the dance with Alex. Did I ignore Monty? No. Did I ignore Justin? No. Did I ignore Althia? No. Did I ignore Zach? No." She added
"We were going to this dance as a group. Sure some of us had dates but that doesn't matter" I continued with where Jessica was going "If we managed not to ignore all of our friends, there's no excuse for you" I went on
"But I was with Clai-" Jeff started to say
"We don't like her! None of us fucking like her, Jeff!" Jessica exclaimed before shutting her mouth right after, realizing what she had said
"Jesus Christ, Jess" I muttered
"Fuck" She mumbled
Jeff stood in front of us taken aback from what he had just heard
"You guys don't like her?" He quietly asked

"Jeffy" Jessica got up and reached for him, obviously feeling bad for what she had just said
Jeff pulled away from her as I gently stood up as well
"No" He clenched his jaw then unclenched it "Saying you don't like her isn't fair, you don't even know her" He said
Jessica and I exchanged glances
"You both said it yourselves, we didn't even talk to you guys at all last night" Jeff continued "How-How can you say you don't like her when you barely spoke a word to her? That doesn't make any sense" He added
"Jeff, that's why we-" I started to speak but Jeff interrupted me
"I should've known this would have happened" He shook his head as he ran his tongue over his teeth "You guys were so excited to help me find a girl but you didn't expect it to go well because hey, Jeffy is supposed to stay single forever right? Nope! You're just saying you don't like Claire because I actually really like her and she'll be taking my attention away. That's the real problem here! Althia and Jessica need all of the attention in the world and the second they don't get it, it's World War 3! Well guess what?! I don't give a fuck! For a second there, I thought you were looking out for me but no that's not it. You're just afraid of losing some attention. So let me guess, if I don't end things with Claire, you'll replace me with someone else? Is that where we are now? Replace me with whoever, hell, you can even replace me with Bryce... There's no bad attention, am I right ladies?" Jeff ranted, spiting the words at us
My jaw dropped as his words cut me deeper and deeper
"Wow" Was all I said
"If that's how you really feel, Jeffery, maybe you should leave" Jessica spoke
"Go give your attention to Claire" I told him "We'll hit up Bryce and Scott because we're just needy for attention" I added
Jeff glanced at us one more time before turning away and walking out of the room. Seconds later, the front door was being slammed closed.
"I cannot believe that just happened" Jess exhaled
"What the hell was that?" I questioned
We stayed there for a moment, both going through what had just happened in our heads silently before slowly walking towards the stairs where we started our way upstairs
"That didn't sound too good" My dad grimaced as he past us on the stairs
"Dad..." I looked at him
"Sorry it was kinda hard not to listen but I'm needed at the office now so you two will be alone" He told me
"Okay" Was all I responded
"Call me if you need me" Dad said
"Thanks for letting me stay over" Jess gave him a small smile
"Anytime, Jessica" Dad replied as he grabbed his laptop bag and put his coat on
We continued our way up the stairs
"Oh and ladies" Dad spoke making us turn around "He'll be back soon and hear him out, he'll know that he screwed up... Don't be so hard on the boy" He told us

We both nodded before finishing our way up the stairs where we went into my room and decided to watch Gossip Girl because, and I'm quoting Jessica, "Who needs real life boys when you can have Chuck Bass".
//
During our third episode of Gossip Girl, someone rang the doorbell
"I hope that's our food" Jessica exclaimed as she put the show on pause
"Jess, we didn't even order anything" I told her as I laughed
Her smile disappeared from her face as we got up and made our way downstairs
I opened the door to reveal, the one and only, Jeff Atkins with drinks and food in hand
"What do you want?" I asked him as I crossed my arms
"To come in...?" He gave me a cheeky smile to which Jessica scoffed to
I rolled my eyes and went to close the door but he stopped me
"Thia! Jess! Please!" Jeff pleaded "I have your favorites" He waved the bag at us
Jessica reached over me and grabbed the bag
I sighed and opened the door for Jeff to come in, knowing that we had been bought by food
I grabbed the drink tray and Jess led the way to my living room
We sat down on the couch and started taking the food out of the bag, not even bothering to wait for Jeff who was still in the foyer
I couldn't help but smile as I saw our favorite noodles from Chi's Palace and our favorite drinks from Monet's
I looked over at Jess who tried to look annoyed as Jeff joined us in the living room but sighed as she took a sip from her hot chocolate
"I'm sorry" Jeff broke the silence
We both mmh'ed as we opened our noodle boxes
"What I said was way out of proportion and so mean and not like me at all" He continued "I should have listened to you but instead I defended myself stupidly" He went on "I'm very sorry for what I said" He finished
Jeff stood there waiting for us to say something but we kept eating
"Oh, I'm sorry... Are you finished?" Jessica asked him
Jeff chuckled and nodded
"I deserved that one" He said "You guys aren't jealous of Claire, I did ignore you all night because of her, you don't need attention for gratification and please don't ever replace me, especially not with Bryce or Scott" He told us
"Ah, that's what I like to hear" I closed my eyes
"I'm sorry" Jeff said again
"We're sorry too" Jessica told him
"You were right about one thing though, we didn't really give Claire a chance and that's not fair" I said
"Yeah, we're ready to actually give her a chance before telling you our opinions" Jess continued for me
"That won't necessary" Jeff shook his head
We looked at him confused
"If my girls don't like the girl I'm talking to right away, there's something wrong" He told us "She kept me away from my best friends and I almost lost them, Claire isn't the one for me" He went on before we could protest
"Jeffy, you don't need to end things with Claire" I gently spoke
"I do" He said "And now that I'm back out there, I think that it's a good idea that I find myself a girl and leave you two out of it. I think it'll be good if I message a girl that I'm interested in and get to know her and then have you guys meet her" He added
"Whatever you want Jeffy" Jess told him
"So are we ok?" Jeff questioned, seeming nervous
"We're more than ok" I answered
"We're the best of best friends" Jess reassured him
Jeff smile widely and walked over to us where he engulfed us in a huge hug
We laughed as we hugged him back
"When did you know that you didn't like Claire?" He asked
"Hm was it after they walked right past us or right before the snacks table?" I questioned Jessica
"I believe it was during the snacks table encounter" She answered me
"Ah yes, it was when she called you Jeffy" I told Jeff
"Of course, it was" Jeff replied
"You're our Jeffy and only our Jeffy" We responded
Jeff smiled again as he hugged us once more before getting up
"What are we watching" Jeff asked as he turned the tv on before taking a seat in the middle of us where he opened his own box of noodles
"Chuck Bass!" Jessica and I yelled
Jeff groaned but still went on Netflix and put on Gossip Girl
"For my girls, anything" He said "Wait, did you guys watch episodes without me?" He asked, noticing that the episode didn't follow the last one he had watched with us
"Maybe" I responded
Jeff opened his mouth but Jessica stopped him
"We watched it after you came here and acted like an asshole" She defended us
"Oh so you decide to watch a show with an even bigger asshole in it?" Jeff looked at us
"To be fair, Chuck may be an asshole but he makes us swoon and you made us sad" I told him
Jeff opened his mouth again but closed it right back
"What did I miss?" He asked
I smiled, glad to have my Jeffy back

At The Precipice
Defenseless. Scared. Alone. That describes the life of Brock Carter as of late. Following his ‘death’ at the hands of a vicious magpie, Brock is rescued by the machinations of the newly instated, all-powerful System and thrust knee-deep into a brutal world catered only to the strong. Fluctuating between two states of being and trapped within a city ravaged by time, he is told to either seek out the mysterious ‘Source’, or die trying. He just hopes he can do it without scuffing his expensive suit in the process. ***** Honestly, I've just always wanted to write a story. I had a crack at it a few years back, but the entire thing fell apart before it even began. At The Precipice was originally written as a way for me to destress and play with System elements and characters, but eventually I decided that if I was gonna write, why not post it too? Writing's just a hobby of mine, so don't expect this to be at published novel level, I guess, or even anything of relative polish. Updates every Mon-Tues-Wed-Thurs-Fri Average chapter length is 2000 - 3000 words ***** What to expect: - A semi-comedic/light tone, mixed in with a gritty world and brutal survival (not ever grimdark though) - An MC that thinks about what he's going to do and why he'll do it, even if his internal logic is lacking. Is a rather rational person, not often influenced by his emotions, but can be in extreme situations. - A plot heavily focused upon the MC, but one that will branch off to envelope the other characters in the world at times. Often, it's just other people's perspectives of him. - A story of power growth. While the MC is certainly going to be powerful, even over 100 chapters in from what I've written, he still isn't the strongest being on Earth, let alone the entire Multiverse. - Lots of gore, vivid fight descriptions, and often times deaths of people, some even somewhat important to the story ***** Things this story will never have: - Harems - An edgy, villainous MC - An MC that does jackshit about things for 'plot reasons'

Sometimes my voice dies in my throat, buries itself beneath waves of crippling suffocation, burns itself out as cold hands tear at my laced skin. I have smiled while my eyes have cried and pleaded, my wrists numb, my lips wobbling and blue, and stars escaping this dark night that I'm trapped in. I long for a darkness that gives way to light. But I do feel the warmth of petals gathering and scattering in my cold bones, and imagine the touch and the sweetness of a kiss, and my heart rises to the surface of this sea and finds a sky painted by passing artists remaining far above our heads. I'm breathing out all the words I've kept locked under the pages of my breaking mind. And by doing so, I'm going to heal.TRIGGER WARNINGS: depression, anxiety, self harm, suicidal thoughts, OCD, panic attacks
