《Cherry Scent》LIV. Love Doesn't Always Win
Advertisement
Love may not always win but it gets a hell of a lot more winnings than hatred.
I was on edge, I was so scared that I wouldn't be with my father anymore.
I closed my eyes as I held onto my father, tears streaming down my face faster than expected.
Before any words could be said, I took out my emergency small cherry Scented perfume and sprayed it on my wrist.
Everything was silent now, I kept my eyes shut and prayed to whoever was listening that my dad would take me and not my mother.
To at least have mercy on me as I was a good kid and that I wouldn't ever do something horrible, I wanted a good life.
"Spencer Delmonico, you may be her permanent parent and legal guardian."
The judge finally said with a smile as he hit the desk with his gavel, I crumbled onto the ground with tears of joy sliding down my face.
My father shouted in happiness as he picked me up and twirled me around, I squealed with excitement as he kissed my forehead.
"I told you to trust me kiddo, dad always has your back."
My dad whispered into my ear as he set me down, I didn't doubt him once.
My mother looked furious but that wasn't my problem, I walked over to her and hugged her softly.
"You will not have the title mother but you could still be in my life."
I mumbled, I didn't want my mother to leave my life but with all she's put me through I didn't think there was another option.
My mom looked at me and rolled her eyes, instead she pushed me away from her and shook her head.
"No, I don't think I could handle that."

I sighed and moved away from her, she began to mutter curses under her breath.
I didn't want to care but she was my mom, it was still going to hurt.
"Love won't always win, you know that Scarlett Elizabeth!"
My mother shouted after me causing me to turn around and face her, she was right though.
Love won't always win nor will it be there for me to help me win, but it was something that a person would be glad to have.
Love may not always win, but it gets a hell of a lot more winnings than hatred.
I hissed at my mother, I turned my heel and ran to my dad.
He shook the hands of our lawyers and grabbed my hand, we walked out of the courthouse with smiles as big as Texas.
"That took guts Scar, I know we promise to keep that in the past."
My dad spoke softly, I smiled at him and squeezed his hand in response.
It was my decision, it was something I had to do to win the case and it did help win.
I got into the car and buckled up, my phone had been powered off for a while since the whole thing started.
I looked at my hand, I was afraid of taking that gauze off so I just traced the bandages.
"I bet you're excited that you'll be able to see Jaden."
Alana sang with a smirk dancing on her lips, I looked at her and rolled my eyes playfully as I scoffed.
I wasn't going to deny it either, Jaden was another reason I wanted to stay.
He was like the added perk for buying something that nobody else would buy, although a bunch of girls wanted him, I was lucky enough to have him.

As we arrived to the house, I was actually nervous to see him again.
I didn't know why, I just felt like I was seeing Jaden for the first time again and I wanted to look and certainly smell my best.
I sprayed my Cherry Scented perfume on me and got out the car, I was actually freaking out.
I knew I liked this boy but I didn't know I liked him so much, I watched as Jaden left his house and ran full speed towards me.
A smile on his face was bigger than anything on this planet, he swept me off my feet and twirled me around causing me to giggle.
I hardly ever giggle, what was this boy doing to me?
Whatever it was, I enjoyed it.
"I missed you!"
He whispered into my ear, I laughed at his childishness and kissed him softly.
I didn't want to pull away but I did, I wanted to hold onto him again.
"I missed you too Jay."
I said as I began to cry again, so much has happened within the last forty-eight hours that everything felt like a dream.
But I was awake, I know I was.
Jaden made me happier than ever, I couldn't have been more glad to be with him.
I like him.
I like him a lot.
I like him so much.
I love him.

Steamforged Sorcery [A Steampunk LitRPG]
This is a fantasy story in a steampunk setting, not a sci-fi. The Great War ravaged the face of the earth many years ago. In the years that passed, the world rebuilt, mixing machinery and magic to form something new. Great blimps took to the sky, belching steam and smoke as metal cities sprouted like weeds below. Angel, a talented mage, scours the desert endlessly in search of lost knowledge. When it unexpectedly falls into his hands, he quickly comes to realize that the world is far larger – and far more deadly – than he ever could have predicted. But no amount of danger is going to keep Angel from seeking out greater strength and traveling the world, claiming all the greatest treasure that it has to offer. To most, the desert is a dangerous threat to be feared. To Angel, it’s a land of opportunity, waiting to be exploited. Steamforged Sorcery is, as the title suggests, a LitRPG Steampunk story with heavy focus on magic and scenery. The main character starts out relatively strong (but far from overpowered) but will eventually grow in strength to incredible levels. It is moderately paced and does not progress at ridiculous speeds. Release Schedule: 1,500 words daily Monday-Friday

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.
