    Chapter 30 - Dec 13

    TW: burnout

    “Because this isn’t just a bad day or even a bad week. This is what happens when you try to live three lives at once—school, work, and whatever this half-existence under his father’s roof is. He’s been running himself into the ground for so long, and now it’s catching up to him.”

    Summary

    Everything around me is falling apart after Mom’s death.

    My sister is barely holding it together, and I can’t shake the feeling she’s keeping something big from me. Without Mom, Dad is more controlling and bullying than ever, caring only about the family name and maintaining appearances. And the one person I care about more than anything—Ruby—is gone because of my stupidity.

    I let her down, hurt her in ways I didn’t think I was capable of. Now, as I try to pick up the pieces of my shattered life, I know I have to fight to win her back. I’m even enlisting the help of my friends, though I’m not sure their efforts are actually helping my case with Ruby. But at this point, I’ll try anything.

    It’s not just about Ruby, though. It’s about becoming the person I should have been all along. Someone my sister can rely on. Someone who doesn’t hide behind booze and bad decisions. Someone who thinks for himself instead of letting others dictate his life. Someone Ruby can trust again.

    I don’t know if I can fix what I’ve broken, but I have to try. Because losing Ruby for good? That’s a mistake I can’t live with.

    Summary

    Spoilers for Book/Season 2

    What if instead of Cordelia dying, it was Mortimer? How would that affect everything that happens after?
    How would James be different? How would Ruby?

     

    “I don’t even know why I’m so upset. I hated him.” He mumbles into her middle.

     

    She continues to stroke his hair, saying nothing.

     

    “He was such an asshole.”

     

    “He was your father, and even if you hated him, it’s okay to grieve for him.”

     

    “I’m not.” He insists.

     

    “Then grieve for the father you wish he could have been.”

    Summary

    Just some fun, to be read after chapter 9 of After The Storm. It didn’t match the tone of the overall arch of the main story, so I just put it here for some levity.

    Summary

    Spoilers for all season 1

    I have recently fallen completely and utterly in love with the German series on amazon prime called Maxton Hall: The World Between Us / Die Welt zwischen uns. If you haven't watched it, you need to watch it but watch it in its original German with the English subtitles because you will lose so much with the English dub.

    Anyway, I looooooooooooooooooooooove James and Ruby so much. It's almost terrifying how much I love them as a ship.
