《Break my Heart》| 11 |

When we got to my house safely I opened the door to my house. I told Jack to stay in the car and wait for me to come get him. His Mom probably didn't want him to come home drunk so I brought him here. I made sure my Mom wasn't anywhere she could see me bring Jack in before walking out of the door, leaving it cracked so it wouldn't make a noise.
I walked to Jack's car and got into the driver's seat. I turned the car off. I turned to face Jack so I could speak with him.
"You have to be quiet okay?" I had to sneak him in so first I needed to tell him to be quiet.
"Okay," he nodded his head.
"I'll help you out of the car," I grabbed Jack's keys and got out of the car.
I grabbed the cold handle to the car door and opened it. I slowly lifted him out by his arm. He threw his arm around me and tried to start walking.
"Jack, wait," I tried to stop him from walking. He kept trying to walk, stumbling until he fell. His arm around my shoulders dragged me down with him. We fell to the ground together with a thud.
I had fallen onto Jack, cushioning my fall. I blushed and pushed myself to my hands and knees. I looked down at Jack as his arm fell off my shoulders. He had a large smile over his lips. He let a small giggle out. My knees almost buckled from under me at how cute he was. I quickly jumped off of him.
"Uh here," I offered him my hand. He took my hand and I helped him to his feet.
I locked his car with the button. I grabbed his hand and made my way to my door. I opened the door with my free hand, slowly pushing it open so it didn't make a noise. I turned to look at Jack and held a finger over my lips. He nodded and tip-toed ahead of me. I hurried to hold him straight as he wobbled. I slowly closed the door with one hand. I returned my full attention to Jack and helped him up the stairs. We almost fell down the stairs twice but I somehow managed to keep us upright.
We entered my room when we made it up the stairs. I pushed him off of me and onto my bed. I figured I would let him sleep in his clothes. I didn't plan on helping him change. I let out a relieved sigh as there was no sign of my Mom moving downstairs.
"Okay Jack. I have to put my pyjamas on but I'll be right back. Be quiet please," I went over to my dresser after getting a nod from him.
I grabbed a pair of pyjama pants. I went into my bathroom and pulled my pants off. I hurried to change into my pants and left Jack's hoodie on. I used the bathroom, washing my hands after. I walked out of the bathroom. Jack was sitting on the corner of the bed messing with his fingers.

"Back," I stated. I went to my side of the bed and plugged my phone in. I laid down on my back.
I felt Jack lay beside me. I turned onto my side to look at him. He had his hand in his hair, staring at the ceiling. I stared at him while he laid still. He still managed to look cute drunk. He looked over at me and gave me a small smile.
"Hey Y/n?" he tilted his head towards me like a puppy.
"Hm?" I continued to stare at him, a small smile making it's way onto my face.
"Do you like me?" he had a small blush on his face.
"Yeah Jack. I really like you," I looked at him with pain stricken eyes. He was never going to like me back. He was drunk and those feelings didn't matter.
"I really like you too," he grinned at me.
"No you don't," I shook my head a little. "You're just drunk."
He reached his hand over and let his finger graze my cheek. I gazed at his finger and back up at him. He had a small frown on his face. "I do really like you. I can p-prove it."
His other hand made it's way to my face. His hands gripped my cheeks gently. He softly moved closer to me. My breathing quickened and became unsteady. He slowly leaned in with his eyes focused on mine. I tilted my head to the side and closed my eyes. When our lips finally connected I could feel my stomach turn anxiously. His lips were soft even though they were slightly chapped. My hands found their way to his hair, starting to grip it. I didn't want this moment to end.
As the kiss progressed I realised how wrong it was. He wasn't in his right mind. He was drunk and I was taking advantage of that. But it felt so right. Tears pricked my eyes knowing he would never do this sober. I couldn't do this to him. I couldn't take advantage of him just because I was stupid enough to fall in love with him. I gripped his face and pulled away from his lips softly. I left my hands on his face and stared into his eyes. He had a wide grin on his face.
"I can't do this Jack. You're drunk," I whispered to him. I kept my hands on his face. A frown found his lips and placed itself upon them. The tears that had merely pricked my eyes before started to spill from my eyes. "I can't."
"O-okay," he wrapped me in his arms, embracing me. I sobbed into his chest, gripping his shirt. I could hear slight sniffles from him. He was drunk. Emotional. It happens. My sobs started to slow as I was embraced with a sudden tiredness. I fell asleep with him holding me in his warm embrace.

My alarm startled me awake. As my eyes opened I saw Jack's sleeping figure. I sighed and slipped out of his grasp. I quickly shut off my alarm so it wouldn't wake him. I unplugged my phone from it's charger and slipped it into the hoodie. I grabbed my outfit from my dresser and slipped into the bathroom to take a shower.

I glanced at myself in the mirror and noticed my slightly puffy eyes. I sighed and started the shower. I undressed and set my phone down on the bathroom counter. I hopped into the shower and cleaned myself with my array of soaps.
After finishing my shower I got dressed in the clothes I brought into my bathroom. I wiped the mirror of the fog from my shower. I plugged my blow dryer in and dried my hair. I unplugged the blow dryer and placed it into one of the cabinets.
I grabbed my phone, walking out of the door. Jack was sitting up in my bed holding his head. I quickly made my way to his side. I placed my hand on his shoulder and urged him to lay down.
"Okay Jack, lay down. I'll go get you some ibuprofen, okay?" he nodded his head as I gently set him against my pillow.
I quickly ran down my stairs so I could get him the medicine. I slid near the end of the hardwood steps, running myself into the wall. I shook my head and continued to the kitchen. My Mother was near the doorway to the kitchen, looking at me like I was crazy.
"What's the rush? Hurrying to see your boyfriend?" she had a hand on her hip. I opened the medicine cabinet.
"He's not my boyfriend and no. I have a slight headache and I need medicine for it," I replied grabbing the pill bottle.
"If it's only slight you don't need medicine," she raised an eyebrow.
"Well I lied. I'm in agony," I faked a wince.
"Save it. Jack's Mom told me he didn't make it back last night. Is he upstairs in your room? His car is out front," My Mom crossed her arms. I sighed in defeat.
"Yeah he's up there."
"Did you guys have sex?" she accused.
"What! No. What the hell?" I made a disgusted face.
"Don't lie. I'll still support you if you did," she grabbed my hand. "Symptoms of pregnancy start showing at 4 weeks."
"Mom! I did not have sex with Jack. I brought him here because he was drunk and I didn't want him to get in trouble with his Mom," I scoffed at her.
"Promise?" she held a pinkie out to me.
"Promise," I rolled my eyes and interlocked our pinkies.
I filled a cup with water and situated the pill bottle. I cautiously walked back up the stairs. I entered my room to see Jack shielding his eyes from my light. I walked to him and helped him up.
"Awe Jackie, does your head hurt?" I teased him. I held his water out to him which he took.
"Yeah," he groaned. I started to get him two pills for his headache.
"That's why you watch what you drink," I patted his head after giving him his pills.
"I was upset over our little episode," he looked at me with guilty eyes.
"Jack I'm not upset anymore. Just to make sure you know that. Even if you are still mad," I collapsed onto my bed beside him, falling onto my back.
"Okay," he took his pills. I smiled at him from where I was. He looked over at me with one eye and smiled. He turned towards me and tackled me in a hug. I giggled as he nuzzled my neck.
"You're going to have to get ready for school sometime," I mumbled close to his ear.
"Can we not go to school and just cuddle?" he groaned.
"You even want to try making my Mom agree to that?"
"You have a point," he sounded like he was considering it.
"Yeah she would kill us. Get up," I pushed his head up.
"Only if you promise to cuddle me later," he looked at me with those puppy dog eyes. Those stupid puppy dog eyes.
"I promise," I grinned at him. He got up and headed towards my bathroom.
I turned onto my other side and played on my phone as I waited for Jack to finish getting ready. I heard a knock on wood and turned towards the noise. Jack was standing by the door, shirtless. I could feel the heat make it's way onto my face.
"I have no clothes," he stated from his spot.
"Oh. Wear the pants you have on and here's your hoodie," I got up and found the hoodie. I threw it at him and he turned back to put it on.
He didn't take long and was out of the bathroom within a few minutes. He had a toothbrush in his hand. My toothbrush.
"Jack why do you have my toothbrush?" I raised my eyebrow at him.
"I was going to ask you if I could use it," he gave me a sheepish smile.
"Isn't that a little awkward?"
"Maybe a little but I don't have my own here," he shrugged.
"I might have an extra toothbrush," I shook my head and pushed past him into the bathroom.
"Oh yeah. That's a thing," he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Yeah Jack," I laughed as I looked through the drawers. I saw a toothbrush package and held it up. "Here's an extra toothbrush."
I handed him the toothbrush out of it. He placed my toothbrush back into it's cup. I walked out of the bathroom, leaving him to brush his teeth.
Once he came back into the room I started to put my socks on. He sat beside me to put his socks on. "This morning did I hear you and your Mom talking about sex?"
I felt my face grow hot. "Uh well she accused me of having sex with you."
"Oh. Why?" he looked at me with wide eyes.
"Honestly I have no idea what goes through that woman's mind," I shook my head. He laughed and stood up.
"Ready to go to school?"
"Not really but whatever. Let's get this week over with," I sighed and stood up next to him.

The Arcane Gunslinger
A lazy celestial being's mistake leads to Sergeant William Remington, a decorated member of the Coalition Marines, to be placed into a new body. His old life aboard the Valkyrie, an interstellar destroyer has also been replaced as he finds his new body in an unknown world. Where he learns of magic, skills, the system, helhorses, and slinging lead with ancient revolvers. Initially, he is skeptical of his new norm but the desire to survive leads him to try to earn a living while he figures out what just happened to his life. He's a fighter but far from the elite, a grunt with some experience. But what better way than to fall back to what he's familiar with, weapons and going after criminals and rebels. With the added challenges of monsters. This is my first Litrpg writing. It's a wild west fantasy setting with the MC taking a role as a gun-slinging bounty hunter in a world of magic and monsters. Hope you enjoy it. UPDATES AT 3PM EST ON MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS! Warning. The story has a slow start because I'm trying to keep my MC realistic. It takes him some time to adjust to his new surroundings, start to make some friends, and really get into the swing of it. I kind of think it's dumb when an isekai's MC manages to blink twice and suddenly adapts to their new world without any sort of struggle or learning period. So not doing that but don't worry Will may be confused and a bit unfocused at first but he'll grow into his own. Also using it to practice my digital artwork... which is far from par but improving. Keep an eye on author notes for maps and depictions of monsters and characters.

Cutthroat games with grim consequences await her in a shadowy world of competitors all dueling for the greatest prize imaginable. A new story from Etzoli, that one butterfly who writes things. This is a side-adventure I've written during the pandemic, as I've been having a lot of trouble getting into the correct head-space for writing my main series (The Last Science). Expect some rougher bits. Schedule is sporadic, but this will be a shorter one (closer to Snipe or Epilogue in length). I hope you enjoy it! Full-size cover art [Discord] - come hang out and chat sometime with etzy and other readers!

NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY: The Adventures of The Creeping Bam (BOOK ONE: The Job)
TAO is a broken world held together with nothing but magic and the will of the gods who protect it and its people. Then thousand years ago THE SUNDERING struck and Tao was almost torn apart by a terrible magical cataclysm which resulted in the planet almost being halted in its journey through the cosmos. It took all the power the gods of Tao could muster to restore its orbit and set it turning again, but in their efforts it was forever changed – its axis was drastically altered, and it now spins in such a way that one face of the world is forever turned from the sun it orbits, leaving half the planet in perpetual darkness. The various humanoid races that survived and now thrive within the habitable parts of THE DAY LANDS have come to live in perpetual fear of what lives beyond THE BORDERLANDS that separate them from whatever dwells within THE NIGHT LANDS, but for ten millennia it has kept its secrets. The land of RUNDAO languishes under the rule of their warlike Northern neighbours, the TEKTEHRAN EMPIRE, while a small, ragtag band of motley adventurers ply their mercenary trade fighting monsters and protecting the common man from the various dangers that haunt the night and prowl the hinterlands on the edges of civilization. THE CREEPING BAM have amassed a modest reputation in their years together, but they’re still just a small-time party of sellswords, thieves, outcasts and mages. They’re also exactly the kind of underdogs the people of Tao doesn’t yet realise are needed to save the world from the encroaching darkness they doesn’t even know is coming … This is a love letter and homage to the high-fantasy worlds of the tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and Warhammer and the sword & sorcery cinema and literature I fell in love with as a kid growing up in the 80s, from Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian (and the awesome Schwarzenegger movie, STILL my favourite fantasy film EVER), The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and Ron Howard and George Lucas’ Willow, to the more grown-up and edgy worlds of grimdark masters George RR Martin and (my all-time favourite) Joe Abercrombie, as well as a BIG DOLLOP of Terry Pratchett’s immortal Discworld series. IMPORTANT: This story contains material which some readers may consider to be mature, such as battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes. If this is not your kind of thing, this story is not for you. I am also serializing this story on Tumblr, Wattpad, Quotev and Sweek.
