《Off Camera / A Treegan Love Story》Monday Blues
Advertisement
The weekend comes and goes. After spending Friday evening with Keegan I spent the weekend cancelling all of my wedding plans. I sent out a mass email to all our guests and made phone calls as well. It sucked. By the end of it all I felt emotionally exhausted.
Now being back at work with all the people I love, feels like a good distraction. This morning we are doing a table read and then later on we are filming the next episode.
I'm just walking into the building where we do our table reads on the Warner Brothers lot when I spot Ashely running towards me. We hug and she asks me how my weekend was.
I sigh. "To be honest it sucked." I tell her as we head into the building. "I was cancelling my wedding plans and telling the guests me and Patrick had called off the wedding."
Ashley doesn't ask me anymore questions as we head into the building. When we enter the large room, we see some other cast members and crew members including Marlene who waves to us and smiles.
We wave back and sit down beside each other. A few moments later Lucy, Shay and Sasha join us. We all hug.
"I hope you all enjoyed your week off." Marlene announces to everyone in the room. "Now it's time to get down to business." We all nod our heads and begin the table read. It goes on for the next two hours. Then we have to head to wardrobe before we start filming.
Keegan wasn't at this table read as he is not in this next episode. I'm walking to my dressing room and on my way I pass Keegan's dressing room. I notice the door is slightly open. I look inside hoping he won't notice me. My mouth drops at the sight.
There is some blonde girl kissing him and he has his arms wrapped around her. I shake my head.
I notice Tyler walk past me and I call him over. "Have you seen Keegan around today? Is that him in his dressing room?" Tyler nods his head. I can't believe what I'm hearing. In this moment I feel betrayed and heartbroken.

"Are you sure?" I ask again. "Why?" Tyler replies looking confused.
"It's I...isn't that his ex girlfriend?" I ask as I point my finger towards Keegan's dressing room. I barely get the words out.
Tyler nods. I can tell by the look on his face he can tell I'm crushed. I can't really hide the way I'm feeling right now. He reaches out to touch my arm.
"Look Ali has been trying to get him back ever since he broke up with her. She really regrets what she did. Keegan is a good guy." I nod as he says this to me. We say our goodbyes and head off in separate directions.
I walk away and go about the rest of the day trying to forget what I saw. Maybe it was nothing. It didn't look like it to me. I really hoped for my hearts sake, that his ex kissed him and was still trying to get him back. I really hoped Keegan didn't want to get back with her as well.
I got to film a fun scene with Lucy Hale today and we snapped a cute selfie. I look happy but inside I'm trying to hide the fact that this guy I have a crush on was kissing someone else.
After filming which ends around 12 am, I head home and find my dogs sleeping side by side in the living room. It makes me smile. I head up to bed and once I'm lying down I check to see if I have any unread text messages. There is one from Keegan that was sent hours ago.
I instantly get up out of bed and put some decent clothes on. I make my way downstairs and ten minutes later there is a knock at my front door. I get up from my couch where I was sitting with my dogs. They run happily behind me with their tails wagging as I answer the door. When I open it I see a tear stained Keegan standing there.
I pull him close to me. "Hey. What's wrong?" I ask him sounding concerned. I gesture for him to come and sit down in the living room with me. Once we're seated on my couch it takes a moment for him to answer my question.

He looks up at me with his sweet eyes. "Ali. That's what's wrong. I was only stopping by set today to meet with Marlene and have a wardrobe fitting. Ali showed up and wanted to talk."
As I'm listening him explain what happened I can't help but feel anxious about the part where he tells me that "the kiss" was instigated by Ali and not him.
"She tried convincing me that she made a mistake by cheating on me. How I should take her back. Then before I could say anything she started kissing me. She threatened to tell several different media sources that if I didn't take her back, she was planning on making up some story that I cheated on her. It's crazy. I also found out that she is pregnant with the guy she cheated on me with. She wanted to tell people that it was my baby." Keegan continues. "Ali said all of that before she kissed me. Therefore it was painful to be forced to kiss someone after they just told you a bunch of bull shit!"
I take everything in that he just said and feel overcome with happiness. "Is Ali going to leave you alone now?" I ask as I wrap my arms tightly around Keegan pulling him close to me.
"I hope so." He says looking at me. "After I told Ali to leave she ran out of my dressing room crying. Tyler saw that. He told me you saw me with Ali. I just felt like crap all day. I wanted to come and find you earlier but every time I tried, you seemed to be in the middle of filming a scene."
"That's ok. I obviously had a hard time getting that off of my mind though. In that moment I remembered how I felt when I caught Patrick with Megan. I was so jealous. It felt like apart of my heart shattered into a million pieces. I couldn't breathe for a moment because I was losing someone I cared about. That time I did. I don't want it to happen again."
I tell Keegan he might as well stay the night. We go up to my bedroom. For a few moments we sit up and look into each other's eyes. He tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. I pull him towards me and kiss him passionately on the lips.
I have been hoping for a moment like this all day with Troian. As she looks at me now with her beautiful eyes and big smile, I feel like the luckiest guy in the world to have her looking at me like this. Troian makes my heart skip a beat whenever she looks at me the way she is now. I begin lifting up her shirt to unclasp her bra. She leans back on the bed and lifts up my shirt, then she lowers her hands to undoe the belt on my jeans and remove my boxers. I can smell her floral perfume and it ignites a passion inside of me so strong. It makes me want more of her. I trail kisses along her soft neck. The moaning sounds coming from her tell me she is enjoying it. I reach for a condom and once it's on I'm ready to enter. "Spread your legs. Little Keegan wants in." I tell her in a sexy voice. She laughs and pulls me closer to her. After only a couple of tries I'm inside of her. The pleasure is so intense. I'm constantly enveloped in wet warmth all around. "Oh Keegan." The way she says my name drives me crazy. I begin to pump in and out a little faster.
Once we are finished making love we collapse and fall to sleep right away. Keegan snores a little in his sleep and I laugh quietly in an effort not to wake him up. I could get used to this every night. Falling asleep beside the sweetest guy. I smile to myself as I picture all the sweet moments we've had over the last week. I hoped Ali was out of the picture. This guy is mine!

Hazelsong: A LitRPG Novel
Release Schedule: I will be moving to a set release schedule as of 1/1/2022. A new chapter will be released every Saturday at Noon EST. If I have time that week for a second chapter, I will leave a note on the Saturday chapter and post the second chapter on Sunday at Noon EST. An up to date character sheet for the MC Erik will also be posted on Sundays at 12:15 PM. If life happens and I am for some reason unable to write that week, I will post a blank chapter giving you an update on where I am with my writing. Saturday Noon EST: First weekly chapter Sunday Noon EST: Second weekly chapter (if I have the time) Sunday 12:15 EST: Updated character sheet Synopsis: Years after surviving a deadly accident, Erik struggles to come to terms with his painful disability. When offered the chance to playtest the world's first full immersion VRMMO, he wants nothing more than to retreat back into his secluded life, until he learns what Hazelsong really offers. An escape from the pain. Hazelsong is a world of magic and adventure, a place where friendships are formed, loot is won, and glory and fame are there for the taking. While the threats feel real and the stakes are always high, there is only one thing Erik is really in danger of. Forgetting which world is actually real. Story Themes: Hazelsong is a LitRPG novel that not only explores the fictional world of a realistic online fantasy realm but the life of a man suffering in silence from chronic pain and PTSD due to a significant physical injury and disability. Mental health is an important subject and we all know at least one person in our lives who has or is dealing with some form of mental illness. I plan on putting my best effort forward to represent these illnesses in a fair and accurate manner. Not as a cheap plot device to help make the protagonist more unique, but to help paint an accurate picture for those of us who have been lucky enough to not have to suffer in silence. About the Author: I am Ash Durra, general video game nerd and a connoisseur of fantasy and sci-fi of all shapes and sizes. Needless to say, I am not a professional author (B.S. and M.S. in Education, 8 years teaching). After really getting into LitRPG novels over the past several years, I found my way to Royal Road, which has inspired me to use my spare time to begin writing a story of my own creation. As this is a hobby, I am not writing and posting chapters on any kind of specific schedule at the moment, though my goal is to post on average 1-2 chapters a week. I am incredibly excited to share this story with others as I write it, and I look forward to any constructive feedback about how I can improve in my writing.

Iron and Wood - A Tale Of Empire and Clans
For centuries, the Midlands had been split into fragments. A once glorious, united Empire has become a shadow of its former self. Unity has not returned, and not for the lack of trying. The greatest of these successor states were the Li Dynasty to the south, the rulers of old, and the Emerald Empire to the North, with its vibrant vitality. Unity is the end goal, and both will sacrifice anything to attain this elusive dream. For unity would surely solve the conflict that had long plagued this once prosperous continent. The Ironwood Clan was a prime player. Some would consider them the ones holding the reigns to the horse named 'Unification'. Iron and wood were the backbones of civilization; similarly, the Ironwoods were the backbones of the Northern Empire, and by extension, the people of the Midlands. Their methods, as questionable as they might be, had strengthened the North. Yet, were they enough? In the midst of it all, a young Ironwood who had lost his path must once again find his way. For the sake of his own wellbeing; for the sake of his clan; and for the sake of the Empire and its subjects. However, is he willing to sacrifice for the good of all? Is he willing to condemn some for the sake of others? Is he willing to make the right, albeit harsh, decisions? Only the heavens would know. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, events and incidents are the products of the author’s imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. Additionally, any views and beliefs expressed by the characters are not the author's own. The story is also not an endorsement of any actions taken within. The 'profanity' and 'sexual content' warning tags are there to be safe (and to leave room for potential future changes), but for now these two things are not inside this novel. This is my take on 'cultivation', though it might be somewhat disconnected from the general idea of the genre. Release schedule: Two chapters a week. The cover was created using wombo art. While I believe that creations using the app are in the public domain, if that is not the case, I will take it down.

The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.
