I have had like zero focus all day and then I realize it's Friday the 13th.
I feel like that shouldn't matter but for some reason it does.

A Return
Well, it's nice to see this whole thing is still here underneath all this dust. How are you guys? I hope life has been kind, and that you are all as creative, positive, and driven as I remember.
It has been years since I posted on here, so all of this will take some getting used to. But I miss the process and the catharsis of having a space where I could express myself and push myself to make articles I could be proud of, even if it was only ever me reading them. I've been lucky enough to have had other venues and accomplishments in the intervening years that have been fulfilling in their own way. But sometimes, you just want a humble blog to call your own, you know?
Special thanks to the School of Movies community, who I have been talking films and other media with online for years. You're all wonderful people, and maybe with my own space here I can stop flooding some of the Discord channels with paragraphs of text on this or that movie and tv show, eh?
Anyway, this will all be a bumpy return where not everything falls into place all at once. So if you're still here, bear with me as I tidy the place up a bit and get back into the swing of all this. And if I'm just talking to myself, then even better!
I'll be back soon with two best of 2023 posts to get us started, as well as some completely out of context episode write-ups for The Zeta Project, an obscure show that I have been watching and putting together writeups on-and-off on the School of Movies community discord. That's just to tidy up and settle some old business. From there... who knows? But I can't wait to find out.
In the meantime, you can catch up on what I've been up to over at Through the Wind Door, a podcast I started with a friend of mine to talk about New Century. You remember, that book series I kept gushing about and told you all to check out? Well, it's still good. Better, even, and there's been a whole bunch more since we last talked. The latest one is called Castle of the Moon, and it has a lady Dracula and terrific Gothic Sex Appeal, a term I coined once when discussing the Castlevania Netflix show.
Wait, did you guys watch that show? I feel like that's one tumblr would have gone nuts over. Really need to check out Nocturne soon...
Anyway, I've been on this podcast since 2020, my co-host and editor talk through each chapter of each book (just like my episode / chapter write-ups I used to do back here in the day). We have interviews with the author and his cast of voice actors, and they are all not only lovely people, but talented as all heck. We also have tangent episodes where we talk about other media that captures our attention, like introducing my co-host to 10 classic horror movies, or Insomniac's Spider-Man 2. Actually, here, let me show you the first part of our multiple episode recording session on that one, that's a pretty good place to start.
Well, here we go again and all that. See you again soon!

Tumblr media
After you small freak out your dad and you both sworn off social media not wanting to see all the rumors from the press and really you just needed time. Your dad didn't give you a second to over think, having you help him with anything really. It wasn't till you were at school talking with your friends that you found out everything the press was saying.
"How are you so calm? The press has been going crazy spreading rumors about you!" Marcus was the first to bring it up.
"I haven't been on social media lately or really my phone, what have they been saying?" You asked scooting over to look at his phone which had an article up about you and your pregnancy.
Avengers star Chris Evans' 15yr-old daughter Y/n Evans pregnant with twins?
"All kinda of stuff they have even been trying to figure out who the father is!" Oscar told you.
"Here look at this one." Liam handed you his phone.
"In one of the teen's most recent posts on Instagram, it revealed she's now living with the actor. In this post showing a photo of her, Evans, and their dog Dodger. She said: "Nice to be home with Dad and Dodger. Living here full time the last couple weeks has been great!" Then last week she posted this photo of herself with a tiny baby bump with the caption: "As my last post as cause many questions maybe this with clear some things up. Two new Evans are. due in November. I prefer not to go into detail about anything about me being home or about the babies or their father, I just prefer the media and my dad's fans staying out of it. I hope you all can respect that ." In it, she mentioned two new Evans. So from this, we take she is having twins. But who is the father? It is unknown right now to us and possibly the Evans family that could be why they didn't tell us in this post. No one in the Evans family has said anything new but Chris Evans Ex-wife, M/n M/l/n has taken to Twitter and said: "Flaunting the pregnancy is no way to treat this I can not believe you are my daughter I raised you better then that." The teen doesn't have a twitter so we assume she has not seen it. Many fans of Chris Evans have made posts sharing their support for the family and how they are excited to know more about the babies. While a majority of them are not approving of it."
You read over the article then your mom's tweet shocked at her words. You knew she wasn't supportive but to be going so far to make a public post on Twitter. You didn't care about the rumors sure got overwhelming but you were more then used to them. You weren't used to your mom doing it though.
"Guys! Stop it you idiots. She was obviously ignoring social media for a reason." Leah said taking the phone from you glaring at the boys.
"You good?" Naomi asked you.
"Yeah..." You mumbled starting at your food.
-----
You walked home from work staring at your phone, trying to decide if you break the no social media thing. Your dad would never know. You did you opened Instagram and began to scroll through the notifications you got, you noticed that the post announcing that you moved home had all of the comments about your pregnancy as you didn't turn off. You scrolled through few, a lot of them were insulting you and the rest were showing their support, you liked the ones giving you support but did your best to ignore the hate. You sighed before going on to check Jake's page to see if he posted anything. He didn't all his posts were with your old friends, and some new girl you didn't recognize. If you had a Twitter you would've checked it but you didn't. You looked up noticing you were home and closed the app before quickly walking inside. You didn't say anything as you took your shoes off and headed for the stairs.
"Sweetpea! How was work?" Chris asked from the kitchen counter.
"It was good." You exclaimed from where you stood.
"Come here bubba. Tell me about your day." He said, you reluctantly went over and began talking to him about work. "How school did something happen?" He asked noticing how you didn't mention a single thing from school not even a funny joke one of your friends told you.
"I broke the no going on social media thing..." You mumbled.
"Sweetpea." He sighed. "Why?"
"Marcus asked how I was so calm with rumors going about me from the press... And then Liam showed me an article and it had something mom said about me in it and I-i just needed to know..." You mumbled leaning your head on the counter as Chris stopped doing the dishes drying his hands before going to sit on the stool next to you grabbing his phone.
"What did she say?" He asked rubbing your shoulder.
"She said she couldn't believe I'm her daughter and that she raised me better... Dad... Do wish this didn't happened?" You asked looking up at him tears in your eyes.
"Sweetpea... I do wish you could have had more time to grow up before this... And I do wish your mom didn't say what she said... But if this didn't happen you wouldn't be in my house right now would you?"
"I guess but... You and mom said you didn't want to be grandparents for a long while and in less then nine months you'll have two grand kids." You mumbled wiping your tears away.
"Bubba it just makes me feel old that's all. I'm proud you're my daughter..."
"But-"
"Nope nope I'll ground you if you keep talking like that." He warned. You giggled. "Now dinner will be done in an hour go do your homework and stay off your phone of I'm taking it." You nodded going to your room dodger behind you. He let out a sigh pulling his phone out and going to twitter. He sighed again.as he went to your mom's twitter page first thing was the post. He retweeted, "Big words for the person who kicked her out." Then he put the phone away and went back to cooking dinner.

F I V E   - The Phone Call
* - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - *
It didn't take long for the kids to all go change back into their clothes and mount their bikes, their destination being Ben's house. As they rode, Y/N couldn't stop herself from gripping onto her cousin just a little tighter, her nerves getting the best of her. But from the way Stan seemed to lean back against her and more into her hold, it was obvious he felt the same way and the cousins took the bike ride as a chance to calm down and accept the comfort of the other's touch.
Everyone was unusually quiet as they pulled up to Ben's house, not even Richie uttering a word as they got off their bikes. Why that was? No one was quite sure, but they didn't bother questioning it.
No one noticed Ben sneak off inside for they were too busy setting their bikes down. Y/N couldn't help but smile as she watched Stan make an effort to put his kick stand out while the others carelessly dropped their bikes. Then her eyes were flickering in Bill's direction, having felt his eyes on her. His eyes widened slightly and he was quick to look away, his face growing red as he nodded towards Ben's house, "C-C-Come on."
Y/N didn't seem to notice Bill's behavior and just linked arms with Stan before the group all began to follow after Ben into the house. By the time they had made it up to his room, they found Ben standing near his closet door with a nervous smile on his face.
The young girl gave him a confused look, but was quickly distracted by the news articles that lined the wall. Some kids had posters, but it seemed Ben just had news articles.
Richie and Eddie were bickering behind her and it was only when Y/N stepped inside with Stan by her side as the two cousins went to examine an article that the two fell silent. "Woah, woah, woah, wow!" Richie breathed out as he let his eyes flicker over the articles and pictures.
His eyes met Y/N and she could read his expression in almost an instance. She gave him a small look, but he didn't seem fazed and just turned to Ben who was looking around the group with an excited smile on his face. "Cool, huh?" Ben questioned.
"No, no, nothing cool," Richie said as he shook his head, the smile on Ben's face dropping ever so slightly. "There's nothing cool."
Y/N rolled her eyes at the boy and frowned as she looked around the room. Her eyes locked on Bill who was looking at some slides on Ben's desk that were no doubt for a projector and she walked over to him before leaning over to look at the picture in his hand.
Bill glanced at her for a second before looking back down at the picture, trying to get his heart beat steady. Finally, he let his eyes flicker over to Y/N and the two locked eyes before Y/N gave him a silent look as if to ask 'can you believe this?' Bill shook his head in disbelief and picked up another slide, the two studying it for a moment and figuring out that it was a map of Derry.
"Well this is cool," Richie finally said causing the two to turn and look the boy's way while Bill set the slide down, "wait, no it's not."
"What's that?" Stan asked and Y/N furrowed her eyebrows before walking over to squeeze her way in between him and Eddie, the two moving over automatically to allow some space for her to stand.
"Oh, that? That's the charter for Derry Township," Ben explained.
Richie let out a breathy chuckle before muttering, "Nerd alert." Y/N frowned and reached over to smack Richie's arm, the boy giving her a look of confusion behind a glare as he rubbed his arm.
"Actually, it's really interesting," Ben argued, not really being fazed by Richie's comment. "Derry started as a beaver trapping camp."
"Still is, am I right, boys?" Richie asked, a smirk dawning his face as he held his hand up for a high five. His eyes flickered between Eddie and Stan, the two giving him blank looks while Stan shook his head almost disapprovingly at his friend.
"Ninety-one people signed the charter that made Derry. But later that winter, they all disappeared without a trace," Ben went on.
"The entire camp?" Eddie questioned in disbelief.
"There were rumors of Indians, but no sign of an attack. Everyone thought it was a plague or something. But it's like. . . one day everybody just woke up and left," Ben muttered.
Y/N gulped slightly and felt a chill run down her spine. They just disappeared? Just like that?
Her eyes flickered over the articles before landing on one in particular that made her pale, her breath bitching in her throat. She swore that one of the people in the picture looked like the clown from the synagogue, but with one quick blink of her eyes, the clown was gone and Y/N was left with a feeling like someone was watching her. However, this gaze felt a lot different than the way Bill's gaze made her feel.
Y/N was quick to shake it off and looked to Ben before shakily asking, "They really never found them?"
Ben shook his head, "The only clue was a trail of bloody clothes leading to the well-house."
Y/N didn't know why she felt so unsettled by the news and for a moment, she silently wished she had fought with Eddie to stay back at the quarry instead of coming here. Something just seemed off to her and she didn't like it.
"Jesus, we can go on 'Unsolved Mysteries,'" Richie muttered and Y/N forced herself to let out a small chuckle, hoping that it might lighten her mood.
As if sensing her unease, Stan glanced at his cousin before gently reaching out and taking her hand in his, giving it a small squeeze as if to tell her that she was okay. It reminded her of when the two were young and she was too afraid to go into a haunted house attraction that they had at the local carnival. Stan had held her hand and given it the smallest of squeezes and it was in that moment that she had felt a wave of comfort wash over her just like it did now.
Y/N let her eyes flicker up to Stan and she gave him a small smile as she leaned into her cousin ever so slightly, wanting nothing more than to not feel alone. Ben had turned his attention away by now and Eddie and Richie were back to their usual bickering, so Stan rolled his eyes and looked to the articles before whispering, "What kid has all this stuff? It's a bit odd, don't you think?"
"I don't know. Maybe he's just trying to make friends, Stanley," Richie suggested, although the hint of amusement in his voice practically screamed that he was making fun of Ben.
"Where was the Well House?" Bill asked, making everyone look to the boy who was still standing by Ben's desk.
"I don't know, somewhere in town, I guess," Ben shrugged before titling his head in curiosity. "Why?"
"Nothing," Bill replied, his voice barely above a whisper. Y/N furrowed her eyebrows at the boy, wondering why he was so curious and why he happened to look a little disappointed from Ben's words. Bill noticed her stare and was quick to turn around so that she couldn't try and read him anymore. This only made Y/N more curious and she was about to move across the room to question Bill when her cousin suddenly glanced at the watch on his wrist and groaned, "Shit. Y/N and I have to go. My father wants me to practice the readings more and Y/N agreed to help me out."
"Fuck. I forgot about that," Y/N sighed before she straightened up and gave her cousin a small smile. "It's okay. We can leave right now and still have plenty of time. I have a feeling you're going to nail it this time."
Stan gave the girl a small smile before looking around at his friends as he slowly began to drag his cousin out fo the room. "We'll see you guys tomorrow," Stan announced as they reached the doorway.
"Goodbye!" Y/N called out as she sent the group one last smile before her and Stan disappeared out of the room. Bill's eyes lingered in the doorway, his gaze having followed the girl all the way out the room. A fact that hadn't gone unnoticed by the others.
"Looks like Big Bill's still got the hots for Y/N!" Richie exclaimed as he let out a loud laugh. Bill's eyes widened and he was quick to spin around and look at his friend, his face growing red while his mouth opened and shut a few times.
"Sh-Sh-Shut up, Richie!" Bill finally exclaimed making the others chuckle as they realized how right Richie was.
"It's okay, Bill. Y/N's a lovely girl," Beverly teased making Bill redden even more.
"I-" Bill began, but he couldn't even finish his sentence before he huffed and began to storm out of the room. "I'll s-s-see you guys tomorrow."
He hadn't even made it down the stairs before he heard Richie's laughter again followed by, "Oh, so Billy's got it bad."
And all Bill could do was sigh as he walked out the front door and gently closed it behind him, knowing deep down that Richie was right.
- - -
Y/N had a smile gracing her face as she sat by the window, the sun kissing her skin as it filtered through the glass, her cousin's voice soft as he muttered his Torah readings. Every once in a while he would stumble on a word, but Y/N had been a great help as she had been the one to calm him down when he grew too frustrated, slowly saying the word aloud for him so that he would pronounce it correctly.
He had gotten a lot better on the thirty minutes they had been practicing and Y/N couldn't help but feel her heart swelling pride at the fact. Stan was going to do great at his bar mitzvah, she just knew it.
"Y/N!" her Aunt Andrea called out from the kitchen where she was currently busy making the dinner.
Her voice was enough to break the comfortable trance the two cousins had been in and they jumped in surprise before Y/N replied with, "Yes?"
"Your parents are on the phone, dear. They would like to talk to you!" her aunt explained causing Y/N to pale slightly. Stan's eyes were on her almost instantly and she glanced at her cousin who gave her a small questioning look to ask if she would be okay. Y/N only nodded in response before pulling herself up onto her feet and beginning to make her way to the kitchen.
Y/N wouldn't lie and say she wasn't the tiniest bit excited to talk to her parents. After all, she did miss them quite a bit. But she was even more nervous than she could comprehend and she wasn't quite sure why.
Her aunt was waiting by the phone and smiled upon seeing the girl walk in. She handed her the phone before Y/N even had time to blink and was already bustling back towards the stove where she was busy cooking dinner.
Hesitantly, Y/N held the phone up to her ear and let out a shaky breath before whispering, "Hello?"
"Y/N, dear! How are you? How has your summer been so far?" her mother's voice instantly rang into her ear, the sound of it making her breath hitch in her throat as she realized just how much she missed her parents.
"Mom? I'm. . .I'm fine. My summer has been going good I guess. It's only day two so I can't really say," Y/N answered honestly. "Um. . .how are things back home? How's Dad?"
"Hi, peanut," her father's voice greeted making Y/N still slightly as she got flashbacks of the synagogue. "Things are good so far. That's actually why we called to talk to you. Not only did we want to check up on you, but we have made some progress with the divorce."
It was like the word had physically wounded her, the word 'divorce' punching her straight in the gut and making her lean over and grip onto the table with a sudden desperation.
"Oh," Y/N muttered, but she didn't have time to say anything else before her parents were talking once again.
"We finally got a date for us to sign papers, so by the time you get home, everything will be finalized," her mother explained. "And we also have some exciting news for you!"
There was more?
"We decided that I would stay back in this house while your mother moves into a new house she found on the other side of town. You'll be living with her, so you will be moving over there at the end of the summer," her dad said with a hint of excitement in his voice that didn't go unnoticed by the girl. Was he that desperate to get away from her?
"You'll have a room bigger than the one you have now and there's even a pool in the backyard. Isn't that exciting?" her mother asked, excitement obviously laced in her voice.
"I-" Y/N fell silent as she stood there with a deathly white face. Was this actually happening? Were they being serious right now?
"Of course you will have to switch schools, but you're so sociable that I doubt it will take you long to make some new friends," her mother rambled, neither of Y/N's parents realizing what their words were doing to their daughter.
"That's. . ." Y/N hesitated. What did they want her to say? That it was great and she was so excited for every aspect of her life to change in one summer? That she couldn't wait to get home and move away from her father?
A beeping could be heard from the other side of the line followed by her father sighing before he whispered, "It's the lawyer."
"Peanut, we've got to go, but we just wanted to call and check in. We miss you terribly and are counting down the days until you get home!" her mother exclaimed.
"We love you!" both of her parents said while Y/N just stared blankly at the wall in front of her, not even noticing that Stan had walked up behind her.
Y/N didn't even respond to her parents and just lowered the phone and hung up, the shock and disbelief from the whole situation hitting her at full force. The young girl's lip had started to quiver, her eyes pricking with tears as her parents' words sunk in.
"Y/N?" Stan whispered softly, confusion evident in his voice. The girl turned around slightly, her wide tear filled eyes locking with Stan's eyes almost instantly and making him gasp. A look of worry flashed across his face as a hint of anger flickered through his eyes. "What happened? What did they say?"
Y/N just stared at the boy, still unsure of what had just happened and how to even react. Before Stan could even blink, Y/N had shoved past him, the girl bolting towards the front door while Stan was quick to follow after her.
"Y/N!" Stan called out, but Y/N was already out the door and heading straight towards his bike. Stan ran after her and was just about to reach her when Y/N finished mounting his bike and began to pedal away, hot tears streaming down her face while her cousin desperately cried after her.
Y/N didn't even look back as she pedaled away from the house. She had no destination in mind seeing as she barely knew her way around the town, but she didn't care at the moment.
The house had just felt too stuffy and Stan's concern had just felt like too much at the moment. All she wanted was to be alone to comprehend what had just happened, time alone to realize that her life had changed drastically within only one phone call.
Y/N's whole body shook as she struggled to contain the sobs that were bubbling through her chest. It was like she was blinded by her own tears and sadness and before she knew it, the bike had hit a pot hole. She didn't even have time to blink before she went flying through the air.
Luckily she managed to fall into some grass and Stan's bike was unscathed, but her heart was so utterly broken in that moment as her world caved down around her that she just sat there in the grass and let out a loud sob.
"Fuck!" Y/N whisper yelled as she put her hands against her scalp and lightly pulled her hair. She slowly let her hands come back down to her face and just leaned forward to hug her knees close to her chest.
Why did everything have to change so suddenly? Why was this happening to her? Didn't her parents love her? Did her father even fight to keep her with him?
Millions of questions ran through Y/N's head as she just quietly sobbed to herself. She didn't know how long she had been sitting there, but it got to the point where the sun began to dip below the horizon and the air became a little chillier. Her sobs had quieted, now being replaced with a blank and emotionless look on her face as the remnants of tears covered her face.
Y/N was staring blankly ahead, her eyes focusing on Stan's bike which was lying down in front of her with a wheel slowly rolling in the wind. A single tear rolled down Y/N's face but she didn't bother wiping it away. She was too numb from the amount of pain she had been through the past couple of months. All she wanted was for it to be over, for things to go back to the way they used to be.
The young girl didn't dare moving her gaze as she heard the sound of someone biking up to her, the skidding of feet against gravel as the person slowed down making her do nothing but blink in response. She could hear the crunching of grass beneath someone's feet before the person plopped down beside her almost hesitantly.
It took her a minute, but Y/N let her eyes flicker over to the person allowing her gaze to lock on Bill for a split second before she was looking away once again.
Bill was quiet as he sat there, his eyes flickering over the girl's form as a look of worry and concern dawned his face. He didn't even know what to say, but finally found it in himself to clear his throat before saying, "You know, Stan's w-w-worried sick about you."
Y/N didn't respond, but she didn't shy away either so Bill took that as a good sign and continued. "He c-c-called all of us Losers up to try and f-f-find you since you stole his bike. Richie and Eddie are b-b-biking around here somewhere," Bill explained.
Once again, the girl was silent. However, this time, she moved her hand up to wipe the stray tears from her face before she pulled her knees even closer to her chest. Bill frowned ever so slightly before hesitantly reaching over and brushing some of the girl's hair behind her ear, neither of them thinking much of it when his fingers lingered against her cheek for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Bill whispered, his voice soft and curious. That slight hint of concern and worry was still there, but maybe it was the fact that his voice was just so warm and caring that Y/N found herself wanting to open up to him, a few more tears escaping from her eyes as the emotions bubbled up inside of her.
"It's. . .it's complicated," Y/N admitted, her voice cracking as she looked at Bill. She tried to give him a sad smile, but he could see the pain it caused her to do so. Her lip quivered and another tear fell as she tried to swallow down the sob that was begging to escape.
"I know all about th-th-things being complicated," Bill sighed as he looked away and out at the road ahead of them. "I don't know how much you know, but my brother. . .h-h-he. . ." Bill had to swallow back his own sob as he clenched his fist. "He went m-m-missing and um. . .we haven't been able to find him. Everyone has been t-t-telling me to give up hope, b-b-but I. . .I can't. I just. . .he's out there. I know he is."
Bill was trying his hardest not to cry as he finally let his eyes flicker back over to Y/N only to find her staring at him with tears streaming down her face. "I'm sorry," Y/N finally whispered, suddenly feeling stupid for acting the way that she was. She looked away in embarrassment, her cheeks turning a tinge red as she whispered, "My parents are getting a divorce."
Y/N's lip was quivering as she looked down at her shaking hands. "That's why I'm here this summer, so that they can finalize things. They. . .they called today to tell me about it and how my mom has already found a new house that I will be living in. When I get back, I'll be living on the opposite side of town with my mom and going to a new school.  And I just. . ." the girl was silent as she looked up at the sky, trying to keep the tears back because she felt like crying after hearing Bill's story would only make her tears seem stupid.
"Everything's changing," Y/N finally said, her voice cracking as she did so. "And it's all changing so fast. It feels like my whole life is falling apart and I just-"
"Don't know what to do," Bill and Y/N both whispered in unison. Y/N looked over at the boy, and the two shared sad smiles. They both may have had different stories, but they both could relate to that. After all, how were they as thirteen year olds supposed to fix all of their family problems?
"I don't know. This all seems kind of stupid now," Y/N said despite those words hurting her even more. Bill frowned and reached out to grab ahold of her hand, a way of getting her to look at him while he stared at her with the most sincere and stern look she had ever seen.
"It's not s-s-stupid," Bill assured her. "I know things are all changing so f-f-fast, but you got to think about the things that are still going to remain constant. Your parents are still g-g-going to love you just as much as they do now. You'll still h-h-have Beverly and Richie and Eddie and Ben. You'll s-s-still have me. You'll still have Stan who is at home worried s-s-sick about you. Not everything will change, Y/N."
Y/N was quiet, but gently squeezed Bill's hand in a silent thank you while the boy just admired her. Knowing that he couldn't stare at her forever and that Stan was still at home practically burning footsteps into the floor from how fast he was pacing, Bill squeezed the girl's hand again and whispered, "You can always talk to any of us if you want, especially Stan. Stan will listen, you know he will."
"You're right," Y/N sighed, finally feeling like the smallest of weights had been lifted off of her shoulders thanks to the boy sitting beside her. "I should probably get back to him, huh?"
Bill gave her a sad smile, "Probably." Y/N returned the smile and Bill didn't even hesitate to reach over and wipe the tears from the girl's face, an action that made them both blush before Bill quickly hopped upon onto his feet. He shyly held a hand out to her and Y/N took it before he pulled her up off the ground.
Y/N stood and looked up, her eyes locking on Bill who was only inches away from her face. The two both went wide eyed for a moment, both afraid to move as they realized just how close they were. Bill could feel the Uris girl's breath fanning his face and he swore his heart had never beat so fast in his life.
Was this what a heart attack felt like?
"Fucking hell!" a voice suddenly exclaimed from afar causing the two to quickly take a step away from each other as they turned to see Eddie and Richie pedaling their way down the street and towards the two.
"What the actual fuck, Uris! Where the fuck have you been?" Richie asked, a slightly angry yet concerned look on his face as he pulled his bike to a stop in front of the two.
Eddie pulled up beside him not even a second later, his eyes full of concern as he looked over Y/N before whispering worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"I am now," Y/N whispered, still slightly embarrassed at everything that had just happened. She didn't understand why she was such a crybaby or why she ran out of the house like she did. Her aunt and uncle were going to kill her. Not to mention how upset she must have made Stan.
Richie still had a look of anger on his face, but it slowly dissolved once he saw the red around the girl's eyes, a sigh that she had been crying. He sat there for a second before reaching up to push his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "Well, don't do it again, okay? I don't want to spend my night looking around for you because you got fucking lost or something," Richie said in his true Richie fashion.
It was obvious he was trying to hide his concern for the girl, but Y/N already knew and she couldn't help but smile softly at the boy before she looked between him, Eddie, and Bill. "Thanks for coming to look for me," she said, her voice soft and apologetic.
"Of course. We just wanted to make sure our friend was okay," Eddie said, a small smile on his face as he looked at the girl. "You are okay, right?"
"I will be," Y/N assured him, her eyes flickering over to Bill who gave her the tiniest of smiles. She looked back over at the two boys standing in front of her and gave them a small smile before saying, "I should probably get back to Stanley."
"Yeah, that's probably a good idea," Eddie chuckled, thinking back to how Stan had called him practically on the verge of tears as he had asked for their help to find his cousin.
"We'll ride home with you," Bill said as he went to get on his bike, Y/N doing the same with Stan's bike.
"What?" Richie began to protest, but one look from Eddie and a glare from Bill had the boy pouting and falling silent.
Y/N smiled softly and the boys and nodded her head as she mounted Stan's bike. "I'd like that," she whispered and even Richie couldn't stop himself from smiling back as the four began to pedal back down the road and towards Stan's house.
The boys didn't bother questioning her more about why she had run away as they biked home and Y/N couldn't have been more thankful. In fact, listening to Richie joke around was exactly what she needed to hear, small laughs escaping her lips as she pedaled making the others smile in response. Y/N's laughter always had been able to make them do that.
It took a little bit, but they eventually reached the Uris household where they could see Stan nervously sitting on the front porch steps with his head in his hands. Y/N felt her heart break at the sight and she barely managed to whisper a goodbye to Bill, Richie, and Eddie before she was biking up the driveway.
She hopped off the bike and slowly began to walk up the driveway while the boys rode past and towards their own homes, knowing that Y/N was now safe with Stan. The young girl made a point to put the kick stand out on the bike before she hesitantly walked over to the stairs where Stan was still sitting.
The sound of her footsteps was enough to make the curly haired boy look up, his eyes widening at the sight of her as he jumped onto his feet. Y/N stopped walking and the two just stood there for a moment in silence.
Y/N couldn't even imagine what Stan wanted to say and all she could think about was how he had to be mad at her. That alone was enough to make her look down at the ground, not wanting to see the look of disappointment and anger that she knew was bound to fall upon her cousin's face.
Stan merely shook his head and took three quick strides before he collided into the girl, his arms wrapping around her tightly as he held her as close to him as he possibly could. Y/N was shocked by the sudden contact, but her cousin's embrace was enough to have her melting into a puddle of tears again as she desperately latched onto the boy like her life depended on it.
Her hands balled into fists on the boy's shirt while Stan cradled the back of her head with his hand, holding her close to him as he just comforted her. No words were spoken between the two, but words weren't needed.
The two cousins just stood there in each other's embrace while Y/N silently wondered to herself how she had been blessed to have a cousin like Stanley Uris. And it was in that moment that she really knew what Bill meant when he said she would never be alone. For she not only had the Losers, Beverly, and Ben to talk to, but her curly haired cousin and best friend as well.
And with people like them by her side, Y/N knew she was going to be okay.

This is something like the first time in three weeks I've actually checked my social media. I'll tell you something-- living without social media is liberating.
Nothing ever really changes on these sites. Not really. Popping back on them, it just feels like everything's the same. All the people are making the same sorts of posts, with the minor differences in hyperfixations. All the Instagram stories are still basically the same. No one has anything productive to say on Facebook-- although there was one post that I wish I had the guts to tag my best guy friend in XD it was very much him.
Overall, though, I don't feel like it has added anything to my day. If anything, I think it subtracted from the value of my morning.
Since I dropped social media, my depression has gotten better. I've been reading 4 chapters of the Bible a day and writing in my journal every two or three days. I've begun a search for a second job.
I've been talking more with friends via text and even a couple phone calls. I feel more connected, more in tune with life, than before. And it's not always perfect. Sometimes I feel more zoned out than others. And I still haven't properly cleaned my room. But you know, that's alright.
Some days I still feel stuck. Although I have decided on welding school and have a plan to earn money for the tuition and supplies, I feel a bit in an odd spot. I haven't made any progress on a second job in a couple weeks... The last progress I made was getting the understanding and support of my best guy friend. (He's honestly a financial genius and I have loads of stuff to learn from him so that was a pretty big thing.) I don't feel like I'm actively moving towards a big part of my goal though. I mean sure I'm working most days of the week, but I haven't gone through with further investigation of any job opportunities.
I guess one thing I wish is that I were less exhausted on days off so that I could tackle things more easily. Even eating right is a huge struggle right now. I have essentially dropped the idea of inktober and NaNoWriMo this year in favor of working harder on getting the money I need.
And then we have Sundays. I visited a church near my home for the first time a few weeks ago. I went there two Sundays before work began to start at 10:30 again. It kind of makes me sad to think I can't go to church. I know people who go there, but that's not even the most of the reason I miss going... The sermons are great and really feel spiritually refreshing.
I've begun to question what a Sabbath really means. Because ultimately on my days off I'm only sleeping and struggling to eat well and wishing I could go hang out with my friends (although now that I have a driver's license and a freeway worthy vehicle (2010 RAV4) that should be easier). I'm not devoting those days to worshipping God or anything.
I'd like to start maybe a Monday morning Bible study with my best gal friend, maybe at the Tim Hortons the next city over. But I haven't brought it up or anything yet. At least it would be a start.
But yeah overall I feel like I'm beginning to really desire more time with God even when I feel so washed out that I can barely do my daily Bible reading. So that's a good thing and also a little bit of a bad thing because I haven't really done anything to move closer to ANY sort of goals. Not Jesus goals, not job goals.
So while cutting out social media altogether has definitely had a positive impact, it's not doing all the work haha. If anything, I feel like I've been awakened to a new state of being-- one not trapped to endless scrolling. I may still look up a ton of stuff on Google and read a lot more articles than usual... And I may watch YouTube videos a bit more frequently... But overall I've been quite pleased with the decrease in meaningless time on my phone.
I'm looking forward to whatever my next step in faith will be. I just know that I don't think social media will have a part in it.

Pieces of honor

Chapter 3
Many guys have been knocked out. I don’t know what time it is. “Choi vs Li” the announcement for him “good luck” I tell him smiling, he smiles me back. The fight between them was rough but Seunghyun seemed to be the one who was controlling the situation, suddenly his opponent fell.
That was the first day of the exam, now we are in a special formation. They will give us new instructions in no time, I was next to Seunghyun. “So tomorrow, you will fight with the guys next to you, only the half will be here, you can leave now”. Seunghyun looks at me immediately trying to say something, I just put my hand on his arm “let’s go” I say walking towards our car.
...
“Ahj” Seunghyun complains “it hurts” I chuckle “of course it hurts! My lovely child look what they have done to you!” Miss Liu exclaims angry. We are sitting on the big couch of the Mansion's living room, I keep cleaning my face by myself “my little princess, I can do that” she says worried about my reddish face (you know there is blood mixed with ethyl alcohol) “no, I can do it Miss Liu… better help Seunghyun, he cannot reach his back” I try to smile with my broken lips.
12pm… I’m about to go to the bed “fuck that guy really punched me hard” I say looking at my face through the big mirror on my wall, someone knocks the door. I open it “Seunghyun” I whisper, he enters quickly.
“What are you doing here? You have to rest” I give him a non-sense look “not gonna fight you tommorow” he looks into my eyes locking the door behind him “you have to! I mean we have to!” he says nothing “I don’t want to, but we have to” I add. Then I sit on my bed “but, I can’t… I… I just cannot do anything in order to hurt you” he explains “Seunghyun you know how this works, you cannot change the rules” I say before looking down thinking about my next steps “I’ll renounce then, I cannot let you do such a thing” I say firmly “but your father, your mother what about them?” he says kneeling next to me “I’ll have more opportunities but you…” he interrupts me “you’ll dishonor them”.
I want so badly to have Seunghyun by side, this is the only way… it doesn’t matter what my parents say, after all, he is the only one who I feel less miserable with.
As I told you first, I have confidence problems since I was a child, plus now that I’m an adult for my parents.... I know all the things they do for money… I just can’t carry on by myself. I need someone, maybe I’m depressed.
“Seunghyun, better leave, someone can hear us” I say trying to escape from making decisions “how many times have we been doing this? We haven’t gotten caught” he insists to be here, I can’t think well. “Sorry” is all I can say, he smiles and caress my cheeks “I have to tell you something important” he says now holding my hands “I’m...” he’s hesitating “I can’t fight you tomorrow because... I’m so fucking in love with you”.
I'm surprised as hell. I mean, it's not like I had not feelings for him, but I have been forcing myself to see him as a friend. I was worried to show him my feelings, he could reject me and I would be alone again, I don’t want to be alone as I have told you.
"I shouldn't have told you that" he says, I'm still quiet "I'm leaving" he walks towards my dorm's door "where do you go?" I shut the door which was been barely open by him, I kiss him, he holds me and returns the kiss.
"Ouch!" My lips hurt, again some blood is on them "sorry, I was so excited" he is nervous as hell "sleep with me" I asked him kissing his jaw "N-no, someone can hear us" he has his hands over my waist "so, are you afraid of it?" I tease him a little "yes, your father will tear me up in seconds" I laugh "come on! He will not do it" I kiss again the both sides of his jaws "I'm not afraid of what he could do to me, but surely I will not be able to see you again" I kiss this time his lips.
"Do to really are scared of that?" he lifts me "of course" he peppers kisses all over my neck "I have been in love so much time that, I cannot be away from you anymore" he adds "neither" I whisper.
"Then let's sleep at your place" I suggest "at my...?" He seems confused "if someone see us they'll think that I was the one looking for your love, not vice versa" he chuckles "please" I hug him tighter "my bed is not comfortable" he says "I don't mind" I say "I must leave now, see you tomorrow... My beloved one" he kisses my forehead.
I let him leave, as soon as I hear his door being closed, I walk towards my window, his dorm is not so far. I climb quickly and I get into his room, he was laying down, his eyes closed "someone could have killed you" I comment.
I don't let him respond, I attack his lips before he can even open his eyes "you are stubborn as a mule" he says between the wet kisses, he places his hands over my waist, his thumbs caressing my skin.
"I bet you like it" kisses again, now his hands touching all over my back, he reaches my neck and holds it to make me be closer to him "yeah, I didn't locked the door, but you surprised me as always" we smash or lips again, a small taste of iron is in our mouths I guess my lips are bleeding
"Let's stop, your lips are going to be all red in the morning" I smile "don't want to" I remove his shirt, he only smiles like me "have you.... Did this with another person?" He's nervous I can notice it "have I had time?" I remove my shirt, I have no bra on, he immediately blushes "no".
That was true, I mean we have been together almost 24/7 all the highschool. We assisted to the same school, sometimes the same classes, we did our homework together, the same basketball club, and my mom's trainings after school... Well we hadn't any time for 'love'.
"Well... Let's just follow the 'instructions' of our bodies" I kissed him again "I have read about this and you know...maybe you have too" while he's speaking, I took his pants off. "Let me take care of you this time" he added "you are the most injured of the both of us" I chuckle "then, do what you want".
I sit in front of him, my legs are spread, he’s closer and closer. He kisses all my body while I touch my clit as when I’m alone pleasing me, he sucks my breasts as I moan with every single touch if his hands. I lay on his bed, he climbs onto me kissing my shoulders "you're so beautiful" he whispers in my ear before he licks my earlobe "Seunghyun" I caress his back with my both hands and his legs with my feet.
He takes off my underwear, he kisses around my wetness, suddenly he licks from down to up my pussy "Seunghyun" I moan his name again, he keeps licking me with his warm tongue, I'm getting wetter. Suddenly he sucks hard my clit causing me to lift my hips to increase the contact of his mouth to my skin.
"Maybe you will like this" he turns me around, now I'm on my knees. My legs wide spread for him, he starts to eat me out again, more moans come from my throat, my legs quiver.
Seunghyun puts a finger inside me "does it hurt?" His fingers are bigger than mine I can feel it well, my pussy tights around his index finger asking for more stimuli "it feels good" he puts another one, of course it stretches me more than my two fingers I used to put in when I was needy "give me a second" I say. It hurts only a little but I want to give time to my muscles to enjoy it more. Meanwhile he’s licking my butthole and touching my clit waiting for my instructions.
I move my hips thrusting me with his fingers, he instantaneously moves them rapidly "oh, that's great" I encourage him to don't stop. "Fuck you taste so well" he turns me around again I keep my legs spread, he's intense glance is on me, he makes eye contact and sucks his fingers looking at me all the time.
Maybe he is lying, maybe he had done this with other girls and I don't blame him because some days I wanted to do it as well. He is now between my legs "can I?" I smile, I have done it with dildos, and vibrators but not with a man. So the confidence I had before starts to disappear "sure" he moved a little "is it inside?" he asked me "no it is not" I smile "shit I believed I did it correctly" I laugh now.
"You seemed to be experienced" he laughs as well "I told you that I haven't done this before" he kisses my cheek "so where have you learn what you did before" I asked curious "one day you left open an article about how to masturbate on your laptop and... you know I remember well many things" my face is all red, fortunately the light of the garden only barely illuminated us.
"Then in that web site was another article about how to masturbate a woman, and I read it of course" I laugh hard "really?" I ask "yes, I thought you liked that page a lot because there were many tabs of them opened" l kiss him "so, you have been planning to fuck with me all this time, haven't you mister Seunghyun?" he gets embarrassed "maybe..." he laughs "to tell the truth, I thought that if someday I could have this opportunity... I wanted to make you feel good".
I took his sex in my hands "wanna know what I've learned in that articles?" I joke, he chuckles "next time, baby" he puts my hands asides my head. He takes his member to be sure this time he's going to not fail, he enters slowly I moan "are you alright?" He asks me worried "yes" he goes deeper "ugh!" I moan grabbing his shoulders "I'll stop" he says. I put my legs around his waist. "No, I guess my dildos are not this big". When I was buying my toys on line, I was worried of insert big shit in me, I guess that fear is normal, so I bought the slender and smaller ones.
Seunghyun gets more embarrassed and laughs "well, that's new" he comments "hey, try to move now" I ask, he did as I said, one of his hands reaches my clit, I soon start to feel nice. Our bodies are sweating, our breaths are crashing into each other's skin, soon I felt my orgasm being built, his name is all I'm able to say...
More updates, I will always love y'all!! ❤️
I'm busy, university is getting more difficult. However I'll do my best to update in less time 💞
Love,
Alex
