if your still doing the prompts, 26 and 34 for jankie! i love your writing
hi! i kinda struggled with putting these 2 prompts together but i hope you like this!! thank you for enjoying my writing!
Prompt: “I know it’s embarrassing I still sleep with a Night light” & “Will you carry me to bed?”
Jackie normally didn’t get a night off work, but when she did she didn’t usually spend them like this. She set out on going to her favorite bar to see a performance, maybe talk to some girls, and have a nice night. But unfortunately, the universe had other plans.
As soon as Jackie got there, a girl with straight blonde hair and brown eyes captured her attention. She was sitting alone at a small booth in the corner watching the drag queen performer and cheering loudly.
She spotted Jackie staring at her and immediately waved her over to sit with her. She sat at the booth across from the girl and introduced herself, “I’m jackie!”
“Hi,” the girl spoke extending her hand to shake, “I’m Jan!”
Jackie spent the next few hours listening to the girl ramble about her entire life. She was quite cute and got excited easily. She downed more drinks as she laughed at her own jokes and held onto Jackie’s hand the whole time.
“Alright I’ve had fun with you, miss Jackie Cox,” Jan giggled, “But I have got to get home.” Her sentenced got more slurred with every word. Jan tried to stand up and walk away, but immediately she stumbled into the bar. She held onto the island for dear life, hoping she wouldn’t fall.
Jackie ran over and tried to steady her. “You’re too drunk to make it home alone, let me call you an uber,” Jackie offered. Jan graciously accepted clinging to Jackie’s arm as she walked her outside the club.
Shortly after the uber had arrived, Jan asked Jackie with puppy eyes“ Can you help me get home?” Jackie felt too bad to say no because it was clear this girl might not be able to remember her own address, let alone how to get inside.
-
Jackie thanked the uber as they reached what she hoped would be Jans apartment building. She wrapped Jans arm around her own and started towards the building.
They managed to reach the hallway to Jans apartment before Jan dramatically slammed her body to the ground in front of her.
“What the-“ Jackie sputtered trying to get Jan back up.
“I’m tired of walking,” Jan exclaimed. She took off her heels in the middle of the hallway and tossed them aside.
“But we’re so close to your apartment. Can’t you walk just a little bit farther?” Jackie pleaded. But it was no use for the drunk mess.
“Too tired,” she exclaimed, dramatically laying down on the floor and pretending to sleep.
“Good god, get up!” Jackie begged.
“Will you carry me to bed?” Jan whined. Jackie physically couldn’t roll her eyes farther into her head.
“Pretty please!” Jan begged blinking her eyes wildey in Jackie’s direction. Probably trying to be cute, but instead looked like her eyes were in pain. Jackie just chuckled.
“Fine, but only because you’re cute,” Jackie finally accepted.
“Awwww, you’re cute too,” Jan slurred throwing her arms in the air for Jan to carry her.
Holding a wrist in each hand, Jackie bent her knees and pulled Jans arms until the her armpits were over her shoulders. She drew Jans arms down and in close to her body to keep her in place. She walked slowly as she dragged Jans sleepy body through the hallway.
“Keys?” Jackie asked as she got to the door. Jan gestured to her side pocket and Jackie with one hand reached in to grab the keys. She fumbled with the door until it opened as she pulled the girl inside.
“Where’s your bedroom?” Jackie questioned.
“Down there,” Jan motioned to the left.
Jackie used every last bit of strength to push Jan onto her bed. With a thud Jan came tumbling down to the bed.
“Owwww,” she groaned.
“You’re the one that wanted me to carry you! Sorry i’m not the strongest,” Jackie admitted rubbing her shoulders which ached from where Jan was.
“Alright I’m gonna head home now, okay?” Jackie sighed.
“Nooo” Jan whined. “Stay,” she pleaded, “take care of me.” What had Jackie been doing all night than?
But, Jackie’s only options were go home to an empty apartment or stay here with this babbling idiot. Honestly the choice was easy.
“Fine, I’ll stay. But tomorrow you owe me!” Jackie accepted. She switched off the lights to her bedroom and a small glow appeared in the corner of the room. She turned to see a small nightlight covered in purple stars.
“I know, it’s embarrassing, I still sleep with a Night light,” Jan giggled pulling the covers up close to her face. “I’m afraid of the dark.”
“Of course you are,” Jackie laughed.
She walked over to the edge of Jans bed grabbed a blanket and pillow and placed them on the floor. She tried to get comfortable in her make shift floor bed and shut her eyes for some well needed sleep.
Jan rolled over to face Jackie on the floor. “Thank you for being so kind to me tonight.”
“Of course!” Jackie uttered. “Most fun i’ve had in a while,” she admitted.

Do you ever judge people based on if they believe in God or not? >> You know, it’s funny -- I’m more likely to make snap judgements about atheists than Christians. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve met my fair share of annoying proselytisers and hateful fundamentalists, have had “exorcisms” performed on me, the whole nine. I am definitely wary of Christianity as an institution, with good reason. But I’m really tired of the superiority complex that atheism seems to encourage (again, just like with Christians, not all atheists are like this -- but enough are). The fact that I dare to interpret my life and my reality in a non-materialist, often-arcane fashion immediately puts me at odds with a lot of atheists because their first thought about anything other than strict materialism is “only idiots believe that”, and I’m not going to let some other equally-in-the-dark human being treat me like an idiot because of something this personal (and this arbitrary!). Somehow, Christians telling me I’m going to hell because I listen to death metal or masturbate or whatever is less deeply irritating to me than that.
Do you ever brush your teeth in the shower? >> No. I can see why you would, though.
Has your printer ever stopped working at the last minute and you had a paper due the next day? What did you do? >> ---
Are you sometimes scared to express your opinions in fear of what others might think? >> It’s more like... I don’t feel like dealing with other people’s baggage, you know? Their inflexibility of mind, or baked-in prejudices, or superiority/inferiority complexes, or whatever. It’s really not worth it all the time. I could be putting my energy to better use than fielding off other people’s contempt. So I wouldn’t say my reticence is fear-based as much as it’s... boredom-based. lmao
Do you have a girl that is strictly a friend that isn’t related to you that you can go to? >> Yawn.
Have you ever painted your nails on only one hand, forgetting about the other one or getting side-tracked? >> No.
Have you ever tried sucrets? >> I don’t think so.
Would you date someone that smokes? >> I don’t date, but in general being a smoker isn’t something that puts me off a person. Being rude about smoking and not accepting that not everyone wants to breathe in their secondhand cancer air would, though. And if you smoke cigars, no thanks. Cigarette smoke is bad enough but cigar smoke is twice as bad.
What about drinks? >> Again, it’s not the act of drinking that puts me off a person, it’s to what extent their drinking affects their life and the lives of those around them.
Have you ever gone to one of those parties where everyone is falling around drunk everywhere? >> I don’t think so. I mean, maybe one or two people depending on their tolerance? But not the whole damn party.
Are you “the good guy”, or “the bad guy”, or somewhere in between? >> Yes.
Do you ever erase the numbers off of surveys just because they annoy you? >> No, the reason numbers tend to disappear off surveys when I take them is because when I paste the survey into this text box, tumblr automatically formats it like a numbered list, and when I unformat it the numbers go with it.
Person you like shows up at your house: you �� >> ---
Last person you talked on the phone with? >> ---
Do you think you will have the same best friend a year from now? >> ---
Do you have siblings over the age of twenty-one? >> No.
Will tomorrow be better than today? >> I mean, today’s going to be pretty good. I’m going to play video games for hours to make up for the fact that I couldn’t all weekend.
What do you hear right now? >> Nothing.
What was the last thing to go into your mouth? >> Water, I think.
Do you usually tell people when you’re mad at them? >> I operate under the assumption that most people won’t care whether I’m upset with them or not, so I don’t bother informing them. That might be a maladaptive way of thinking, but so far I haven’t had much cause to question the notion, either.
Honestly, how is your heart lately? >> Beating.
Do you miss anyone? >> No.
Are you waiting for a phone call? >> No.
If an ex said they hated you, what would you say? >> I wouldn’t say anything. That’s their business, not mine.
What would you do if you found out your most recent ex was in a relationship? >> Hope that that person doesn’t go through what I went through. And if they do, hope that they have the presence of mind to leave sooner rather than later.
What do you think when someone kisses you on your forehead? >> First of all, who is doing that...
What do you usually do right when you wake up? >> Look at my phone to see what time it is.
Are you looking forward to anything? >> Yeah, playing WoW.
How late did you stay up last night? >> I got home at around a quarter past eleven, so I think I got to sleep shortly after midnight.
Do you truly hate anyone? >> No.
Would you ever get a tattoo? >> Of course.
In the past forty-eight hours, have you hung out with a girl? >> I hung out with a lot of people on Sunday.
Were you happy when you woke up today? >> Yes, very happy to be back in my warm comfortable bed and not in that janky loud motel.
If someone liked you, would you want them to tell you? >> I mean, it’s not going to change anything on my end, but I wouldn’t act weird about it if someone told me.
Would you rather go back a week or go forward? >> ---
Would you ever smile at a stranger? >> I’ve done so.
Who was the last person to text you? >> Sparrow.
What are you doing today? >> Playing video games, vegging out. Just enjoying being home.
Truthfully, is there someone you used to date that you miss? >> Not right now.
Have you ever gotten burnt by a cigarette? >> Yeah, on purpose.
Have you ever been so bored that you started drooling on yourself? >> What...
Do you brush your teeth right away when you wake up? >> Not right away, but soon enough after.
Do you have someone of the opposite sex you can tell everything to? >> ---
Want to get smashed tonight? >> Nah, I’m good.
What time are you getting up tomorrow? >> I don’t know, whatever time I wake up.
Are you happy with the choices you’ve made? >> Like, throughout my entire life? Some were fine, some were mistakes, some don’t even register in my memory anymore.
Think back to last June; were you single? >> No.
Have you ever made someone laugh when they were crying? >> Probably. That’s my only method of consolation -- distraction.
Describe how you feel right now. >> Neutral.
Would you date someone three years older than you? >> ---
Do you prefer to shower at night or in the morning? >> In the morning.
Do you think more about the past, present, or future? >> The present.
Are you okay with the life you live? >> Sure.
Could you handle living with the last person you texted? >> I do live with the last person I texted.
Was the last book you read for fun, or was it for some type of assignment? >> Everything I read is purely for my own interest/delight.
Have you accomplished any goals you set for yourself this year so far? >> The only “goal” I ever set is that Goodreads reading challenge, lmao. But even that’s just for fun -- if I don’t read 50 books in a year, it’s not like I consider myself a failure or something. Quantity doesn’t even mean anything. It’s just something to keep track of, I guess. (Also, when I do those end-of-year book surveys, it’s easier to just go look at my challenge because then I can see at a glance what books I read that year.)
If you could go forward in time and see your life 5 years from now, what would you hope to see? >> ---
Are there still movie rental stores where you live or have they all gone out of business? >> There’s one down the road from me, like a 10-minute walk. Family Video just refuses to go down without a fight, I guess. They jumped on the CBD bandwagon really fast, too -- revenue is revenue, I guess, lmao.
What was the last thing to annoy you or make you upset? >> When I realised I’d left my laptop and phone chargers in the motel room. *facepalm* Thank god for Amazon one-day shipping.
Do you think you would be a good match for your celebrity crush/es assuming you have one? Why? If you don’t have one, who was the last person you saw that you found attractive? >> There were a lot of attractive people at Elle’s wedding.
When looking for something to watch on TV do you tend to pick shows you know you like, or try new shows that look interesting even though you’ve never heard of them before? >> Either. Just depends on what I’m in the mood for.
Have you ever been ditched by someone only to find them out and about with someone else? >> No.
How old were you when you had your wisdom teeth removed? >> ---
What is the last song you sang out loud? >> I don’t remember.
Where was the last job application you filled out sent to? >> ---
Have you ever been fired from a job? >> No.
What do people tell you your voice sounds like? >> I don’t recall the last time anyone commented on my voice at all.
What financial class are you? >> Poverty class.
What poster is hanging closest to you? >> It’s not a poster, it’s an art print. It’s called “Heimdall” and that’s basically what it is, I guess. But very, very intricate and multilayered. One of those “stare at it for five hours and still see new things” kind of artwork.
What time did you go to bed last night? >> Sometime after midnight.
Do you watch any reality shows? >> Not regularly.
Are you more comfortable with men or women? >> ---
Do you think you’re fat? >> Sometimes I do. It’s all just societal bullshit, though, because I’m technically not fat (and it really shouldn’t even be a big deal if I was).
Have you ever borrowed money from someone and never repaid them? >> Probably.
Do you have a pet cat? >> Yeah.
What is worse: physical or emotional pain? >> I’m not going to rank one as “worse” than the other. Pain is pain.
If you had to get up at 6 AM tomorrow morning, would it be painful? >> Probably. It’s not my normal getting-up time.
How is your hair? >> Fine.
Who was the last person who called you? >> ---
How long does it take you to fall asleep at night? >> Not long, because I don’t go to bed until I feel good and sleepy.
How many people have you had strong feelings for in the year of 2012? >> You know what I had strong feelings for in 2012? Drugs.
What are you doing for your next birthday? >> I have no idea. Probably going to Chicago like usual, although the idea of going to Canada is still on the table if we can get passports by that time.
Would you go on a date with someone right now if they asked? >> Not unless it was explicitly understood that I am aromantic and this is a platonic outing.
Do you believe that if you want something bad enough, you’ll get it? >> Sometimes that narrative is fun to entertain.
Last movie you watched? >> The Nightingale.
Who were you with? >> Nobody.
Who came over last? >> ---
Have you ever wanted to be a ballet dancer? >> No.
Does your family keep tons of leftovers in the fridge? >> I do not.
Favourite FRIENDS character? That is, if you like it. >> ---
Skullcandy headphones, yay or nay? >> Yeah, I like them.
Are you thinking of getting another piercing? Where? >> No.
Do you love when people remember little things about you? >> Sure, it means people actually paid attention to me and cared enough to remember, which goes against some of my less helpful self-talk.
Do you ‘bless’ strangers when they sneeze? >> No.
How many phones have you gone through? >> Too many.
Have you always lived in the house you currently reside in? >> No.
Do you think your future will be a good one? >> ---
