《The Secretary》Home Again
Advertisement
When we got back to Jensen's house, all the lights were shut off, and the door locked.
As I waited for Jensen to unlock the door with one hand, his other hand holding onto mine, I couldn't help but wonder why he stayed with me so long in the hospital.
Jensen opened the door and pulled me inside after him, taking me to kitchen, and sitting me down on a bar stool next to the counter.
"Let's clean that up okay?" He said.
"Clean up what?" I asked him before he left my side.
He pointed to my arm where the IV used to be. It was bloody, as expected, but even more so due to the needle tearing new skin as it ripped out.
Jensen kneeled down and reached into one of the cupboards, pulling out a first aide kit. He reached in and pulled out a gauze, some medical tape, and an antiseptic wipe.
"This might sting a little, but I have to clean it up okay. Don't freak out on me." Jensen said. I couldn't tell if he was joking or not.
He pressed the antiseptic wipe onto the cut directly, and cleaning the rest of the blood of my arm with a wet towelette. I could feel the alcohol of the antiseptic cleaning my wound, and like Jensen said, it stung, but not enough that I couldn't bear it.
After Jensen cleaned the wound, he pressed a gauze to it to stop the bleeding, even though it seemed as only a little was bleeding.
"Tell me if it's to tight okay?" He asked as he glanced up at me while pulling out the medical tape.
I nodded my head, watching as his calloused hands moved the tape easily around my arm, and watching as his arm flex as he ripped the tape, cutting it.

"We'll leave that one for a little bit, then later I'll give you an actual bandage okay?" He said as he cleaned everything up, putting it all back into the medical kit, and putting the kit back into the cupboard.
I watched him as he did so, seemingly unfazed that I freaked on him earlier. He did the dishes that were in the sink, rinsing off the dishes, and then putting them into the dishwasher.
His phone started ringing, without looking up his said, "Could you grab that for me?"
"Sure." I said as I reached across the counter and checked the caller ID. It was just Jared.
"Hey Jared." I said, pressing the phone to my ear.
"Jensen, where's y/n? I took Jj to the hospital because she really wanted to see her, but the chick at the desk said she wasn't there." Jared said quietly and quickly.
"Jared, I want to see her!" I heard Jj whine in the background.
"Jared, it's me y/n." Was all I could get out.
"Y/n?! Where are you? And why do you have Jensen's phone? Did you steal it from him and run? I know how much you hate hospitals and I swear to god if you did anything to-"
"Jared! Stop! I'm right next to Jensen. I'm at his house okay? Everything is fine. I just had a freak at the hospital but I'm fine now okay. Everything's good." I quickly cut him off.
"How do I know you're not lying?" Jared asked, well more like sneered.
I scoffed and put the phone on speaker.
"Jared stop giving her crap. She already has enough on her plate. And before you ask, I signed her out of the hospital when the doctor came in." He said.

"Wait what?" I said, shocked. Technically you can't sign out of a hospital until your doctor allows you to, especially for my case.
Jensen looked at me, 'I'll explain later.' He mouthed. I nodded my head, showing him that I understood.
"Oh." Jared's voice cracked through the phone. "Jared, where are we going? I want to see Y/n!" I heard Jj squeal.
"Jared put Jj on the phone." I said.
"Okay." I heard Jared say as he handed the little girl the phone. One all of the noise settled on the other end, I spoke.
"Jj?" I asked. No answer. "Jj, it's me
y/n. Can you hear me?"
"Yeah I can hear you. Where are you?" She asked.
"Well I'm not in the hospital anymore, I'm at your dad's. Did you still want to go to the beach with me?"
"Yeah! And I wanna go swimming with you in the ocean too, and make sandcastles with you, and-"
"Okay, okay Jj. We can still go, we just have to check with your dad first okay?"
"Okay." She said.
I looked at Jensen, who was staring at me with a smirk on his face. "Of course we can still go."
Jj screamed on the other end. "Jared guess what? I'm going to the beach with y/n and Jensen because they're awesome! And there's nothin' you can do about it!"
Jensen and I burst out laughing at Jj's little remark.
"You guys are going to the beach?" Jared's voice rang though.
"Yeah, listen Jar, I have some explaining to do so can I call you back?" Jensen said.
"Yeah that's fine, when do you want to pick up Jj?" He asked.
"We'll drop by around 5 or 6 tonight okay?"
"Alright sounds good. See you guys later then?"
"Yeah." Jensen said then took the phone from my hand and ended the call.
"I think I have some explaining to do." He said as he walked around the counter, walking up to my side.
"And I have a few question I would like to ask."
He smiled a little and looked to the floor, then back up at me, sitting down in the barstool next to me.
"Ask away." He said, taking my hand in his.

A Step Behind Death
Please share your thoughts about the story! Feedback and criticism is welcome, it'll help me improve my writing. "The final year of high school is the most difficult." This statement has never been truer for Damis, a student attending one of the many schools in the City of Sundridge. He never wanted anything more than to live a peaceful life, going so far as to avoid having large group of friends, indulging in dragged out conversations, or being involved in any other activity that requires him to invest a large amount of effort to accomplish. Instead, he poured all of his efforts into studying, dwelling in his internal monologues, and complaining about the things that annoy him to his one and only friend, Noah. Before long, he ended up as one of the best students in his class. As far as he was concerned, he was content with how he lived. But, after a confrontation with an eccentric girl named May, one of his classmates since the first year of high school, things have suddenly gotten out of hand. And as a result, his life became a lot more hectic than it used to be. Bound by a deal he could not refuse, his life as May's assistant began. At this rate, can he still spend the final days of his high school life in peace? Welcome to the life of Damis, the boy who's always A Step Behind Death. The cover art is made by friend of mine. I plan on making this novel into a webtoon once it becomes the best it can be. English isn't my first language, so expect some grammar bumps along the way.

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.
