《Never in a Million Years ✔️》60-Our Family

"So what are we doing for St. Paddy's day tomorrow?" Em questions as her and Amy enter my kitchen
"Caleb" Jordan snorts "Well we aren't, Belle will be of course"
I just about choke on my drink as I look at my best friend with wide eyes. Neither of them knew yet, which is probably why they were giving Jordan and I the looks they were.
"What. The. Fuck." Em states
"Care to explain Belle" Amy prompts
I just stood there. Mouth still open, as I looked between a very accomplished looking Jordan, a semi-pissed Amy and a bewildered/pissed Emma.
"Okay! I seriously can explain!" I plead look at both of them, finding my words "It happened on New Years"
"Fucking New Years Belle! That was two month ago! You two have been fucking since then?!" Em's voice started to do the screechy thing, where she almost went supersonic. The only one who could make her stop the supersonic thing was A, but I wouldn't want him here anyway, he did not need to hear about what him and I his best friend have...done.
"Well not just that" I mumble "We're actually together. Like together together"
"What?!" Amy yells now, only now in replace of the previous scowl was a grin "You got the one guy who has even said he doesn't do relationships, sleeps around every other weekend and flirts with anything with a vagina into an actual relationship?"
"Yes" I nod
"Okay might I interject, Caleb hasn't actually slept with anyone since like September. He attempted to a while back but he couldn't-" he stops talking to whistle while pointing up, very much conveying the message "if you know what I mean"
"I never knew how much I didn't need that image in my head" Em says plainly "Seriously never do that again"
"Yeah that's fair" Jordan laughs
"Okay can we stop talking about my boyfriends 'abilities' please" I huff slightly "But yeah we started kinda everything on New Years and we both agreed to not tell anyone. He and Colton both found out on accident"

"So the guys don't know yet?" Amy questions
"Have you seen Beck or Arrex have a fuckin brain aneurism yet?" The two both shake their heads in response to my question "No we haven't told them"
"When are you going to?" Em asks "cause I mean, it's none of my business, but you really should tell them soon"
"Yeah that's what he's been saying too. We just haven't had a chance too, we've both been so busy these passed two weeks we've barley been able to see each other." I shrug. Now that was actually true. We've barely been able to hangout let alone have time to talk to all of my brothers at once. It's halfway through second semester, we were all stressed.
"I'm fuckin terrified to tell them"
"Yeah I would be too" Em agrees with me. She just shrugs as we all glare at her "What? I'm not gonna sugar coat shit"
"Fair enough. Can we not talk about that right now though?" I question "It's just stressing me out even more than I already am"
"Yeah" Amy nods "You'll be okay Belle"
"Thanks Aim"
After a beat of silence and expectantly looks towards me, Jordan finally speaks up.
"So are you gonna tell them the beginning of your epic love story or am I gonna have to?"
"Oh yeah duh" I grin "So it happened on New Years..."
---------
"Why are they looking at us like that?" Caleb questions as he sits beside me on the floor
Em and Amy were sitting across from us on the couch smiling like idiots. They were maintaining eye contact, it just made everything even creepier.
"They know" I break the strong eye contact with Amy to look up at him "Jordan kinda ratted us out to them"
"I'm gonna kill him" He huffs
"Well you'd actually be pretty proud at how he did it" I kinda laugh
"How did he do it?"

"Oh I'm not repeating it, you can ask him" I laugh as I get up. He moves to sit beside Beck and Ace as I leave to grab some chips. I take the spot on the couch besides Em as I return.
"Could you make it anymore obvious bitch?" I question
"I actually could've" Em smirks at me "I could've just said something, but I wouldn't do that"
"Yeah cause you'd literally die."
"That I would" she laughs taking some of my chips
"Okay what are we watching tonight?" Wes questions
And then ensued the argument. Tonight it was between John Wick and The Greatest Showman. I'd just watched The Greatest Showman last night though so I was all in for John Wick.
"But The Greatest Showman" Ty pouts
"For once Ty is making sense" Amy laughs as even Ty nods his head agreement
"But John Wick has Keanu Reeves!" I reason, looking at the screen. Keanu Reeves was definitely an old man crush of mine, him along with Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
"He's old!" Caleb argues, he wanted to watch The Greatest Showman. "Zac Efron"
"But look how pretty" Em and I both reason pointing at the screen. I swear, sometimes I think we share a brain cell.
"He isn't pretty" Arrex rolls his eyes
"Yes he is"
"Dude he's like triple your age" Caleb argues
"And? Ain't nothin wrong with a sugar daddy" I smirk at him, I knew I was making him jealous.
"I did not just hear my sister say that" Ace bursts into laughter along with Beck
"Okay we are watching Greatest Show!" Arrex states finally "You two don't get to watch your fuckin sugar daddy tonight"
"Good" Caleb scoffs, I just laugh before taking my phone out to see a text from him.
🤡❤️Really?😒
What? :))
🤡❤️ I hate you so much
I chuckle at his text before looking up and giving him the puppy dog eyes.
🤡❤️Don't do the face
Hehehe
🤡❤️you're the worst
I just glance up to see him grinning at the screen not looking at me. I knew he wasn't actually mad at me.
"Okay Greatest showman?" Ace questions, hovering his thumb over the 'OK' button on the remote.
"Yeah"
"Fine"
"Okay" he states before turning it on. We seriously couldn't decided on anything before arguing about it first.
A few minutes in, Em and I are up and dancing around the living room to 'A Million Dreams', much to the guys annoyance. They should know better than to put a musical on with us around, especially me. Co even said it himself, I'm a musical whore.
"However big,
however small,
let me be part of it all,
share your dreams with me;" I sing the first part of Charities feature
"You may be right,
You may be wrong,
But say that you'll bring me along.
To the world you see
To the world I close my eyes to see
I close my eyes to see" Em yells the next part
"Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
A million dreams, a million dreams
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
For the world we're gonna make" her and I both finish before taking a bow and sitting back down
"Very well done" Amy laughs in amusement
"Every song" I grin. And that's exactly what we did, for the rest of the movie and even after, Em and I sang at the top of our lungs. The guys acted like they were annoyed but we knew they loved it.
Tonight it was just us, having fun, not caring about anything but each other. That's what matters most. Our loved ones. Our family.

Forged in Fear and Fury - An Apocalyptic LitRPG
In an attempt to prevent Earths ensuing demise, it is ripped from the void by an entity known as The Totality. It is then fused with a Lost Dungeon World to increase its inhabitants chances of survival in a new, system-enhanced universe. Cade Vale barely avoids death in the first second. Will he be able to overcome the rigors of this new world and survive? Will he be able to carve a new life out of the aether for himself and those whom he loves most? ...Will he be able to avoid becoming everything he hates in order to do so? Artwork by Kayla Basciano - Instagram: vulpix1323 Inspired primarily by the systems in The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound, The Genesis System, and The New World as well as by Savage Divinity, Azarinth Healer, and Shovels in Spades in general. I haven't been able to get these worlds out of my head and I've been waiting for something to fill the void left by the hiatus of Genesis, but so far nothing has scratched that itch as much as ProfoundMagician was able to with the world he created. I figure if I'm going to be thinking about this stuff as much as I do I might as well get better at writing while playing with a number of those ideas that I love. I have a number of specifics and events I want to show in the story, but a lot of the fun is coming up with ways to branch those together cohesively. This is an attempt to alleviate my depression by channeling my creativity into a hobby. Hopefully it's as enjoyable to read as it is to write.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
