Bonus, Chapter Nine

so like chapter eight ties in kind of with some of the minor details I've been adding. i promise it's a new chapter. this chapter is a bonus chapter, it's a good length for the others I mentioned in case y'all wondered how long they would be. also i think i fixed most shipping issues, but someone still may be left out because god damnit, I'm not god. 😭

i didn't wanna end this fic before 20 chapters, but... we're nearing our final one. thank god for making it a series I guess. ):

PARANORMAL,
CHAPTER NINE

THALIA REYNOLDS HURRIED into the stone building that had become so familiar to her. The cold winter air blew in behind her. She waved at the RA behind the desk and kept going. Making her way over to the elevator, she pressed the up button. The small girl seemed to be practically bouncing on her heels.

She stepped into the elevator, watching the numbers count up to four. On her brother's floor, she took out the key card she'd stolen and swiped to get on his side of the hall. You really thought Scott Reynolds wouldn't give his sister access to his dorm? Please. She made her way down the hall where she took the familiar path to room 431. She inserted the card and pulled it back out, pressing in the code. The light flashed green, and she headed inside. (a/n: deadass the process of getting into my dorm. )

The lights inside were turned off, so she flicked them on. "Ah, damnit, Thalia", Scott Reynolds cussed, just barely managing to not topple out of his bed. She kept telling him to get maintenance to lower it. He never listened.

Scott's room was still clean, despite his mood. The sound of Cigarettes After Sex filled the room. When Scott got sad, he listened to Sleeping with Sirens. When he got mad, he listened to Sleeping with Sirens. When he was happy? You guessed it. Sleeping with Sirens. Thalia didn't know how far gone he was to be listening to Cigarettes After Sex with the lights turned off and the curtains drawn.

Thalia clicked her tongue, showing them open. "You're acting like a hermit."

"I'm heartbroken", Scott grumbled, covering his head up.

"I got you chocolate", Thalia added.

Scott peeked out at her. "You have my attention."

Thalia shook her head. That was her brother for you. Always worried about food first. Thalia leaned over, holding up the grocery bag. "You can have the contents of this bag if you shave and shower and come outside."

"How about I shave and shower and we just stay in all day?"

Your brother's in a fragile place right now is all. Baby steps, Thalia. Baby steps. "Fine, but I pick the movie", she grinned.

While Scott straightened himself out, Thalia glanced at what was a slight mess in the room. It wasn't much. She smiled when seeing that the music had been coming from the record player she'd bought him. She didn't know he actually used it. She clicked it off and set up the tv for a movie night.

Eventually, he rejoined her. He looked almost like himself again. The two of them talked and laughed, even tossed popcorn at each other. Thalia squealed with laughter, and Scott was slowly coming back to life. They were gonna be okay. Slowly but surely. Daphne came to check on them later that night, only to find Scott protectively clinging to his little sister. She shook her head, covering the pair with a blanket. She took one of Scott's sticky notes and left it on his bedside table.

Met a kid named Jem. Think you should talk to him.

pretty sure I put the wrong date last chapter, oops.

Y'all, I'm frustrated. Okay, like, I know, I know Maddie and Morgan isn't an original concept. I know that. I'm not claiming that! But my thing is,,, if you're gonna say 'would it be weird if I made a story like
this' in my comments,,,, at least let me answer first?
Cause shit, dude. Once you announce it to your followers, of course my pushover ass is gonna be like: well 🙂 i can't 🙂 stop you. 🙂 Cause I can't. But how different can a Liv and Maddie inspired applyfic be,,, from a Liv and Maddie inspired applyfic. Why would you even ask me? Cause now I feel awkward. Idk man, I took some time to edit a chapter and it's like: skrt, imma ask you this question and not even wait on your reply. But it's also like,,, I'm the bitch in this situation, because I'm complaining about something unoriginal. And someone else pointed out that it would be similar so now I'm like: uuuuh...

idk that happened the other day and now I'm nervously hoping this isn't gonna be as bad as it feels cause idk what to do. 😅

so like I said: bonus chapters. this'll be their size. yay or nay?
