After the game people always go out to the feild to see there favorites. To bad me and ethan aren't talking right now or id go up to him.
Me and andrea walk up to jack and they talk. I see ethan, grayson and then there parents talking to them. There all laughing and having a good time. I smile to myself. Seeing them so happy.
Then this girl walks over. First she hugs lisa and then hugs ethan. Lisa and sean walk away. She grabs ethans hand and there smiling. My smile immediately drops. Tears form in my eyes as he kisses her.
What did I do wrong. Ethan looks over and sees me and his face goes to a blank face. I look away and clear my throat.
"hey im um- im not feeling so good so im just gonna go home. jack can you take her home?" I ask.
"awhh everything okay?" andrea asks.
"yeah no problem" jack says.
"yeah just feeling a bit sit. Ill text you. Thanks jack" I say giving them light smiles before walking away.
I walk away. As Fast as i can without trying to make a scene. tears are coming down my face as im trying to wipe them off.
I grab my keys and unlock my car door.
"allison wait!" someone yells. I turn around and see ethan running up.
I open the door.
"allison please. stop." he says stopping the car door.
"allison" he says and i wipe my tears before turning around. I clear my throat.
"yeah?" i say giving a light smile.
"whats wrong" he asks.
"what? nothings wrong" i say fake laughing.
"allison come on" he says. A tear goes down my face.
"It's nothing ethan" I say looking at him.
"but it is something because theres tears coming down your face" he says grabbing the sides of my face and wiping my tears.
"whats wrong" he says gently. I close my eyes and take a deep breath as he still has his hands on my face.
"this. this is whats wrong. you and everything that's happened" i say. Hes shocked by what i said and takes his hands away slowly.
"w-what" he says confused.
"you dont get it ethan. You just dont" i say shaking my head and opening the door.

"then explain to me allison. explain to me what i dont get" he says getting mad.
"Im still in love with you!" i yell. He goes quiet.
"ive been in love with you since the day ive met you ethan. From the day we first spoke to eachother. Ive always been in love with you. From the day we split. to the day we talked after a year. to the day we stopped because we couldn't get back together. to the day I started dating jackson and now to here. To this day" I say wiping my tears.
"you dont understand the affect you have on me. How badly im affected by you. By your personality. by your words. by you actions. You dont get the love i have for you. The love ive always had for you" i say with more tears coming down my face. Hes still silent. Its like he cant say anything.
"It k-" i stop because of the crying.
"it kills me knowing that i may never. get to love you like i did before. That i may never be with you again. or have that chance to be yours. It kills me knowing that you may not feel the same way i do. That you dont have the amount of love i do for you as you do for me." i say wiping my tears.
"I know i broke your heart. I know ive hurt you and you have no idea how sorry i am for that. How much i wanna repay you for the heartache ive given you. But you know youve given it to me to"
"with that girl tonight? the girl yesterday. To the breakups weve had. I thought we had something again ethan. I thought." i start crying again.
"I thought it was gonna work out. That we were getting back. That everything was going how it's supposed to be. How things are supposed to happen. I thought now that the distractions are out of the way we can now get to the real thing. Our happiness."
"but please. please tell me if this isnt what you want. please tell me if im waisting my time. because if i am-"
"if i am. I need to move on. move on with everything" My voice cracks.
"no more games, no more playing around. I love you. I always will and always have. I want to be with you but if you dont feel the same then let me know because i cant keep doing this. I cant keep hurting." i say sniffing.
"thats whats wrong" i say getting in the car and looking at him.
"allison I-"
I Close my eyes and when i open them back up tears fall.
"goodbye E" i say closing my door. He stands there. not saying a word. looks lifeless.
I buckel up and drive away. It starts raining pretty hard. Tears fall and fall. knowing not only did i might've lost the love of my life. but ive also lost my bestfriend.
The wipers are going and going. As the hard rain crashes onto the car. Thoughts running through my head. Memories flooding back. Good and bad.
Things I wish i did differently. Maybe things would be different if different things happened.
Like schools. What if i didnt go to a different highschool. What if we went to the same.
What if we never broke up over the summer.
What if we had gotten together when we couldnt.
what if that girl had never been around him.
but then again i think.
what if we never met.
what if we never dated
what if he never asked me out.
what if we never become anything.
what if all those things happened. How would life be right now. How different would it be. How good or bad would it be. what other things would be different.
My phone kept buzzing and i look down and it was ethan. 5 missed calls and 20 text messages.
I finally got home and just sat in the driveway. Hearing the rain get harder and harder. The cold air blowing and the low sound of country radio. My phone buzzing over and over again.
I look down and its ethan. I know if i dont answer this, he'll never stop calling.
I take a deep breath in and then answer it.
"hello"

Not even the apocalypse can crush humankind's desire to walk among the stars. In what was once the American Pacific Northwest, a massive complex known as Hope's Enclave has been constructed, home of the Ifterra Project, humanity's latest attempt to reach the stars and make them their home. But all is not as it seems in the Enclave or in the Project, and threats wait outside - from the armies of John Seid's America Eterna in the east, to their far-off allies the Invictan Empire, to the mysterious Aliens who have taken up residence in the sky and will speak only to Ifterra Project.

Post War Rules
Life on Torus Terminal is usually fast paced, but simple. A frontier Terminal has little room for easy living, but the great, circular station does boast shopping and culinary experiences from many Imperial races and cultures. Any star is, by its nature, extremely far from its neighbors. But laser highways, and the great shimmering sails of the light-rider spaceships make the trip into only about ten years. Still, the denizens of Torus Terminal eagerly await the day when the Anti-Euclidean Engine their station is built around finally comes online. Once that is done, they will have unfettered access to the entire Empire. Instantaneous travel and trade across hundreds of stars. Torus Terminal does boast one other oddity: a creature which calls itself Human. As he says, the last of his kind for now. He has made quite the life for himself on Torus Terminal, especially in the darker corners of the station. The elites of Torus Terminal praise his name, for once he took up arms, crime began to fall. What they did not realize was that was because he had claimed the seedy underbelly of Torus Terminal for himself and his own goals. The elites praise him as a paragon of law. The criminals fear him as a ruthlessly clever crime boss. Those closest to him, know him as the General. This story was originally posted on the Humanity Fuck Yeah subreddit, where it evolved from a simple play on a historical figure in a science fiction setting into a full blown space opera. I kind of took it as an opportunity to explore a setting I've had rolling around in my head for years. I also decided that it would be nice to have it in a place where I could more easily come back and edit it later, so I'm reposting it here. Here's a link to the original posting if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e9cwpl/post_war_rules/ If my genre and tagging is subpar, let me know. I'm still new to Royal Road and I'm open to help. Feel free to comment and make suggestions, or discuss. I love comments, and so long as we keep things civil I also love criticism.

His Trophy | Jerome Valeska
"Oh and Jim, Jim Gordon?" Jerome peered into the camera as if to yell out to an audience: "I have Rory here," he turned the camera towards Jim's daughter and revealed to the audience a girl that had been beaten and tormented, she was gaged and her eyes didn't look at the camera but above the lens; at Jerome who was holding the camera."Say hi to Daddy, doll face," he jeered from behind the camera. She looked down the lens and shook her head as if to tell Jim not to try. The camera went back to Jerome."She's a beauty isn't she, Jimbo," Jerome smirked into the camera, his laughter becoming harsh and wild: "and she's all mine, you try anything, and I mean anything, I kill her. She's my prisoner, my reward, and you're not taking her away from me Jimmy boy, on no, not this time" his words were spoken through waves of laughter.***Rory Gordan is the stepdaughter of Jim Gordon. Her mother moved a lot so Rory was born in Gotham City but raised in England and from the age of 10 she had been bouncing from one country to another with her mother. However, when she turned 17 she had grown tired of the constant change of moving and decided to move to America. It was when she was visiting her long term boyfriend when her life got flipped upside down, not only did she meet one of the craziest boys on the planet, but she discovered that she had a gift that would curse her forever. This story is a collection of scenes rather than a flowing plot, so its chronological but it skips scenes and jumps back and forth between different perspectives. The story is under editing, so it'll get more cohesive over time.••• I do not own any characters or plot lines from the tv show. However, all original characters like Rory do belong to me.Total Word Count [33,674]
