《Living With Jared Padalecki》31/ give me a sign
Advertisement
I have already made it through three whole days of shooting of the fourth episode of season twelve.
It would be as fun as I thought, if it were not for my quiet, nervous attitude. Although, according to everyone who has seen my performance, I have been doing pretty well.
All those things that Jason said to me at dinner the other night have been on replay since I got back home that night. I am still in shock, I think, and disbelief. How could Jason love me?
I don't know, I suppose that there is a very slim possibility that he sees something in me that I don't. Still, he is kind of insane for developing feelings for me.
"Hey," Jared says from behind me, surprising me. I turn around, expecting him to be looking for someone else, but he is looking at me. I nod in his direction as he approaches me and sits in the chair next to mine.
"Long day," I say, trying not to be so quiet so I don't make him suspicious. I take a sip from my water bottle.
"Yeah," Jared replies. "Don't worry, it'll be over before you know it." He pats me on the shoulder. "You've been doing pretty good here." I quirk an eyebrow but don't say anything.
The stress of something bad happening keeps weighing down on my shoulders, but it kind of disappears when the camera is on me. I suppose I sort of get sucked into the Supernatural world and forget about the real one.
But off camera, I have been staying to myself, barely talking to other people, except when I have to.
The day progresses awfully slowly, and I am kind of surprised to learn that we are going a little faster than we are supposed to. It feels like we have been working on the same scene all day.

"Charlie," a voice says to me a lot later that day. This time it is definitely not Jared. I turn around and smile at Misha as he approaches me. He seems tired, too, despite his blunt enthusiasm.
"Hi," I say in response, expecting him to sit down next to me, but he just stays standing.
"Hi," he repeats, "You want to go with us to get pizza?" He offers, adjusting the watch on his wrist. I shake my head.
"Uh, I'm not really hungry," I lie. "But thanks anyways." I lift my leg up and set my foot down on the chair in front of me, leaning forward to tie my combat boots. To my surprise, Misha is still here.
"Charlie, you haven't ate a thing all day," he argues, however, he doesn't push. I raise my eyebrows, and he continues. "Look, please come with us. We're paying." I chuckle a little.
"Relax, Misha," I say. "I had a burger during lunch. I'll be fine." I move my other foot up onto the chair and tie my other boot. "I'll give you a ring when I get home, 'kay?" He hesitates before nodding.
"Alright," he eventually gives in, and I almost sigh in relief as he walks away. As I make my way back to my truck, my phone vibrates in my pocket.
Seeing that it's Teresa, Mason's little sister, I quickly answer it. I still remember that last conversation I had with her, and how scared she sounded.
"Hello?" I answer.
"Hey, Charlie. It's Teresa."
I stay silent for a moment. She sounds okay, just sleepy. "Hi. How are you doing?" I hear her sigh.
"I'm..." she starts, her voice straining a little. I furrow my eyebrows, heart racing in fear. What if she hurt herself more? "I'm really good, Charlie. I...I told Mason, and she called a doctor for me."

I let out a huge sigh of relief and a smile lights up my face. She did it. Teresa is going to get better, before she gets worse. This is amazing.
"That's great, Teresa," I answer. "I'm really proud of you." I can almost her the smile in her voice as she replies.
"Thanks."
"I think it's really great that you are getting better," I add. What she says next almost makes me faint in shock.
"Are you getting help yet?"
I freeze. How does she know that I need help? Mason doesn't know, so she didn't tell her. Unless she is just really intuitive, there is really no way she can know this.
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh, come on. It's so obvious. Everyone can see it. Mason knows."
At hearing this, I close my eyes and cringe. I must have made a terrible mistake somewhere, because I do not recall telling anybody. Jared knows, but he would not tell them.
"See what?" I ask, my voice shaky and nervous with fear.
"How broken you are," she says, and I almost have to pinch myself to see if this is a terrible dream, because it can't possibly be real. She cannot know this.
"You really are crazy, huh?" I say, chuckling slightly and hoping that maybe Teresa will say she is joking.
"Maybe," she answers. "You need to call a doctor, Charlie, or tell Jared at least. They'll help you with your problems."
"I don't have a problem," I say with a certain edge to my voice. Already, I am getting defensive, even though everything that she is saying is correct. "Don't worry about me, Teresa, okay? Tell mason not to, either, alright?"
Teresa laughs. "We always worry about you. I bet Jared does, too. I bet you sulk around the house, with your wrists loosely bandaged up—"
I pull my phone away from my ear and end the call.
Teresa is right. About every single thing she just said. But does she really have a right to call me out on all of that?

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!
