After Effects

Chapter 37

Hey guys. I know I haven't updated all week but something really traumatic happened, and I felt inclined to share it with you. I've been going through a lot of things lately especially with what has just happened.

So, I'm just going to say it:

I had to go back to school. I know, it's a very serious issue. No more late nights reading, or being able to update mostly every day of every week. It's just, hard, you know? Having to go back to a schedule.

Anyway, sorry if I made you think that something actually bad happened to me! In all honesty, I really love school. It's just waking up at 5:45 that's annoying. Anyway, sadly for these next few months until November I have Field Hockey practice everyday after school. By the time I get home and shower, eat, and do my homework I'm going to bed.

So my updating schedule will be on the weekends. I'll try to update After Effects, Stains, and Nightfall at least once over the weekend. Maybe if I have time I'll update more than once. But as of now, expect updates to be on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

I'll try to throw in a tiny update here and there, but don't expect them during the week. By the time Field Hockey is over, I'll be able to probably update during the week.

So yeah, sorry for not updating this week!!! I love you all, thanks for all the support!!! ;)

Dex:

I paced back and forth across my bedroom floor, every once in a while running a hand through my already spiked hair. My thoughts were racing, all over the place but about the same thing; Biana.

I couldn't believe she was--thought--in love with me? How could that be possible? I mean, I'm me?

I sighed as I tore through my hair again. The buzz of my importer interrupted my thoughts. Distracted, I glanced back over as I saw Biana's name flash on the screen, followed by a dozen other unread messages. 

I went over to answer, but hesitated. I wasn't ready for that conversation. I didn't even know what I wanted, or thought anymore!

Then Sophie's name flashed across the screen, then Fitz, Tam's, and Linh's.

I guess it was safe to say I've been avoiding everyone for a good two days.

Then Sophie's voice flooded my room.

"Hey Dex, it's me, again. We all are really worried about you, so, just call me? Or Keefe? Fitz? Just--one of us. We miss you, and we're concerned. I just--call me back if you get this? Okay? Stay safe, we love you!

Call me, please?"

I then had a staring contest with my importer.

The importer won, and I may have buried it into the carpet.

Sophie:

"Hey," I heard Keefe whisper as he gave me a hug from behind. He gave me a peck on my cheek. "It's all going to be okay. He just needs some space right now."

"I know, but I can't help but worry about him," I sighed.

Keefe turned me around so I faced him and teased, "This isn't how we should be spending our six month anniversary."

I gave him a pointed look, "I know. But Dex--"

"I know," he said giving me a small smile, kissing my nose, making me scrunch it up and let out a little laugh.
