Crash thrived on this back and forth, feeding on her need to volley back insults his way. She gave as good as she got and it kept him on his toes, ready to serve it right back to her. “Whatever you say.” He tilted his head, grinning at her like he was a little darling and she adored him. Reaching for his own drink, he smiled to himself before taking a long swig of his beer. The alcohol kept him focused fully in on the girl in front of him, the one who seemed to hate his presence so immensely and yet couldn’t be bothered to wander away and spend time with someone she actually liked. Still smiling, he shrugged his shoulders. “Would you find that sexy? We can roleplay as detective and suspect if it gets you off. I’ve got handcuffs.” He got comfortable there at the bar, leaning against it with his body angled very clearly towards hers. God, she looked so pretty when she made clear how much she couldn’t fucking stand him. Pursing his lips, he shrugged a shoulder, knowing she was right and that he didn’t often play bars that housed girls like her. Usually they’d be far, far away at Sorority houses or slumber parties or in some douchebag’s mega yacht. “It’s just the everything about you, is all.” He teased, gesturing towards her with his bottle in hand. “You know, there’s just one issue with this whole forced here against your will act..” Crash stood up straighter now, entering her space confidently. “You could have left, if you wanted to, but here you are. Is it really just the free drink?”

Closed Starter for @strengthbound​ for Lilith 
Charlotte hadn’t expected her new head of Urology to come early. That would push a bit of paper work up which wasn’t a big deal but she wanted to speak to her. Make sure that the other knew the place and knew what was expected of her. She had been busy with the plane crash stuff but cleared her schedule to meet with the other for a bit of time. Charlotte cleaned off her desk the best she could putting things into files and stacking it up. She knew that it would all be out again soon enough for her to worry about but she felt a bit normal with it all away. When she heard the knock on the door she looked up and said, “Come in.”

helloooo aaaa i just wanna ask for book recommendations twt,, i'm a beginner and i don't know what books should i reaad twt i wanna read classics like wuthering heights and pride and prejudice buhh i don't know if i'll understand them right awayy so i'm hesitant where do i start 😔
hi! i got u.
for classics, my two go-to methods are either:
1. read short ones (short fiction books, plays, small poetry collections or short stories). you don’t feel as overwhelmed here and it can be a nice dopamin rush to keep going.
recs: persuasion by jane austen, candide by voltaire, medea by euripides, anne carsons translation of sappho, the stranger by albert camus, almond blossoms and beyond by mahmoud darwish, and the yellow wallpaper by charlotte perkins gilman
2. read the big ones but make them more manageable by “cutting them up”: i finished jane eyre and the odyssey this way by reading about a chapter every day (15-30 pages) while i had breakfast. i took me about a month, but that doesn’t matter. if u read 20 pages a day every day you can easily finish a 600 page brick-like classic in a month, like crime and punishment, which is a big feat!
for example, i calculated that to finish all seven volumes of prousts in search for lost time (known for its length!! 4215 pages!) in a year, it comes out to only 11.5 pages a day [!!!] (which is what, 10 minutes of your day? well, maybe 20, knowing proust)
so — it’s with this method that u can make p&p and wuthering heights more manageable!
lengthy recs: jane eyre by charlotte bronte, emma by jane austen, the odyssey by homer, frankenstein by mary shelley, and the uncensored picture of dorian gray by oscar wilde, and metamorphoses by ovid
and, if u have trouble understanding something, there are always incredible resources on the internet. some that really helped me in the beginning are: crash course literature (yt), schmoop/cliffnotes/sparknotes, and the in our time podcast.
happy reading!!!!

Guns, Glamour and Goodfellas - Chapter 15
Chapter 15: Sacrifice
Dad!Mob!Tom x Mom!Mob!Reader
Pairings: Tom Holland x Reader, Rosie Holland x Henry Osterfield
Warnings: Blood, Language, Kidnapping, Typos
Words: 5.5K
Tumblr media
Chapter 15: Sacrifice
Words: 5.5K You and Tom didn’t know how to react. You wanted to scream and cry but inside you knew that wouldn’t solve anything. Causing a fit would only give Carter the satisfaction he was looking for. To break the Holland family. Your only daughter had just been taken from you and being held for ransom by some miscreant.
Every time you got a call about Parker and Rosie hurt or missing, you wonder what would’ve happened if you left the mob and took them with you a long time ago. Leading you down a long path of misery and regret.
You didn’t want to take Tom away from his kids but, you never wanted this life for them. You had an image of your idyllic family when you were young, dreaming of your husband coming home everyday after work to your kids, two boys and one girl. Sometimes life doesn’t plan how you wanted it to but, the love you had found is irreplaceable.
Not marrying Tom would have had it’s advantages of not constantly looking over your shoulder. Or scared to death he will come home bruised and beaten or worse, not come home at all. A lifetime without pain but one without your best friend. Tom was the person you wanted to share everything with. He was the one who would let you vent about the stupidest little things. Usually something annoying the kids did, you were the main person with them from ages 0-14. Dealing with everything from runny noses to school projects.
You and Tom knew you could survive anything as long as you continued to love each other but everything that was happening at that moment was new feat. There weren’t guarantees that you would get Rosie back. Praying she wouldn’t come home in a body bag. Thoughts like these always plagued your mind. Especially when Parker was in the hospital after being almost beaten to death.
Losing Rosie was too much, too much you didn’t even want to think about it. If she didn’t come home, you didn’t know where you could go from there. Everything will have lost its meaning. The things you once adored, would offer no importance, including Tom. Your future together seemed bleak if he couldn’t do the one thing he always said he would, protect his family.
You were another story. Sure you didn’t appreciate waking up in a hospital bed. Being blinded by the white lights after some horrific accident but it was you. You knew you were strong and could take care of yourself. But when it came to your kids, all bets were off.
The main focus of everyone was finding Rosie safe. Parker and Haz came back home with an unconscious Henry in Haz’s arms. But no sign of Rosie. Tom was adamant to find out why Carter was targeting Parker.
“Parker what did you do? Carter Wilson is the one who took Rosie,” Tom asked Parker as he walked in along with Haz.
“Who’s Carter Wilson?” Parker questioned.
“Angus Wilson’s son. I ask again, what did you do?” badgered Tom.
“The night of the heist.—“ Parker started but was cut off.
“What heist? My heist? The one on at my casino? That was you?”
“Yeah, we are off topic. We can talk about it later…. So that night I went to tell Wilson I was quitting and then he started running his mouth about how he was the one who killed Charlotte and caused your and mom’s helicopter crash. I couldn’t take it anymore and I snapped,” Parker explained.
“Don’t tell me you killed him,” Tom announced as he shot daggers at Parker.
“I did. You don’t understand. I couldn’t let him get away with everything,” Parker mumbled, Tom’s disappoint washed over him like a wave.
“Holy fuck. Parker how could you be so stupid? Now this guy is out for your head. And he has Rosie.”
“I know dad. I KNOW. I have to fix this,” Parker vocalized.
“No, Parker. You’ve done enough. I can’t lose both my kids. Your mother won’t be able to handle it either. All we can do is treat her kidnapping with money and offer a ransom,” Tom bellowed.
“Dad I’m going,” Parker barked.
“No you are not,” Tom snapped back.
“Why not? A few days ago you couldn’t even look at me. I doubt you’d miss me if I was gone….We can’t just let her die. This is my fault. I caused this. Let me fix it. Let me save Rosie,” Parker pleaded.
“We won’t. She’s not going to die,” Tom asserted.
“If you show up, to wherever she is, without me, he’ll kill her on the spot.” Parker barked. Tom noticed how you turned white as sheet at the mention of ‘death’ and Rosie’s name in the same sentence. Tom begged to comfort you, but he knew it wouldn’t do any good if Tom couldn’t bring Rosie home.
“Y/N, why don’t you go lie down. I promise I’ll get her back, darling,” Tom mentioned as he saw you look broken hearted. Just staring into an imaginary abyss.
“Tom, don’t make promises you can’t keep. Parker, please listen to you dad for once. He’s right, we, I can’t lose both you and Rosie,” you sniffled. Your eyes stained red from crying yourself dry.
“What choice do we have? How are you going to get her back? He made it very clear he only wants one thing, me,” Parker shouted, tried of Tom not trying hard enough.
“END OF DISCUSSION!!! Now go to your room,” Tom growled.
“But dad!” Parker shouted
“No buts. I won’t hear anymore of this,” Tom concluded. “Let the grown ups handle it. I’m sorry Parker but, I won’t lose anyone else.” Tom finished, pushing Parker out of his office and closing the door. Maybe Parker inadvertently kidnapped Rosie, by going after Wilson but Tom had to finish. He needed to prove to himself and you that he could protect his family.
Rosie had no recollection of how she got there. She was sitting tied to chair, wrists and ankles bound, in a huge room with cold crisp air prickling her skin, giving her goosebumps. Her head pounded in her ears, throbbing too much to let her close her eyes.
“Rosie, darling. Wake up. I have big plans for you my dear,” Carter said, gliding over to Rosie tied in a chair, tearing the burlap sack off of her head.
He put two fingers on her chin, to force her to make eye contact. Rosie had been beaten and battered. Her skin stained red from tight ropes around her wrists and ankles. Tears had stopped coming, having cried all of them.
Rosie had given up hope that anyone was coming. She didn’t know if Henry was alive, last seeing him lying an alley.
“Please let me go. I don’t have what you want,” Rosie said, refusing to open her eyes and come face to face with her assailant. “Oh, I know that. But you will help me get him,” spoke Carter, revealing his face.
“If you’re talking about my dad. You’ll never take him alive. He’ll kill you before you even get the chance to load your gun,” Rosie asserted.
“No, I mean the Holland you share a birthday with,” Carter laughed off.
“What do you want with Parker?” Rosie questioned.
“You’ll see soon enough,” Carter finished, covering her face once more with a bag.
Back at the mansion, night had fallen and Tom and Harrison along with several other soldiers were held up in Tom’s office developing a rescue plan. Tom had been doing everything in his power, mostly throwing vast amounts of money to Carter as ransom.
Tom was frustrated that he couldn’t do anything. Not knowing Rosie’s location or Carter’s demands, besides giving up his son, Tom’s hands were tied. More like amputated with a machete, Tom felt helpless.
“Tom, another video from Carter just came through,” Haz informed Tom, playing the video on his computer.
“I don’t even want to look at it. Just tell me if she’s dead or not,” Tom whispered, rubbing his eyes. It was a video of Carter torturing Rosie. Tom wished he could trade places with her. If he could he would in heartbreak.
“I don’t know what more persuasion I can give you. I already have you daughter, now hand him over. Or poor, pretty Rosie over here is going to have a hard time breathing,” Carter reckoned.
“Ohhh, Rosie,” Carter motioned. “Your daddy’s watching. Why don’t you smile pretty for him.”
“Dad, please. Please save me.” Rosie pleaded before her head was plunged in a bucket of frigid water. Carter held her down long enough to where her lungs started to fill up with water but she didn’t stop breathing.
Her pulled her head out forcibly. Rosie came up, gasping for air. She coughed up all the inhaled water. Carter repeated this process three times, each time broke Tom’s heart even more.
Carter needed to show him he meant business.“You have until midnight to bring me Parker. This is your finally warning. Rosie we will learn how much you family truly loves you,” Carter concluded shutting off the video.
“Haz, I have a plan. It involves everyone. I need you to stay here and take care of Y/N. Even if I don’t come back, make sure she is okay. Don’t let her cry over me too much and tell her I love her one more time,” Tom pleaded, he didn’t want to leave you. But sometimes people don’t have a choice.
“Tom, tell her yourself. You’ll be here to take care of her. I’m sure of it. Along with everyone else, okay? But while you are gone I promise to keep her safe.”
“Always looking on the bright side, huh?” Tom quipped.
“I think I got it from Henry. Takes a lot to bring that kid down. Even in this life,” Haz chuckled.
He knew not having Rosie anymore would break him though. Harrison remembers how mopey Henry was when he and Rosie broke up. Refusing to do his chores and waking up late on purpose for school so he wouldn’t have to go.
Haz had never a found a love like that. One where you would put yourself in harms way just so the other wouldn’t even feel and inch of pain. The kind of love, he knew Tom and you had and only hoped Rosie and Henry had.
He couldn’t imagine if Henry had to experience the same type of pain Parker did. Losing Charlotte broke Parker, he was never the same after.
Parker made his way to the guest room, where Henry was recuperating after his concussion. Henry was the only person he could talk to. Everyone would just brush him off and not even give him the chance to make amends. Parker knew Rosie was tangled up in this because of him.
“Henry, I need to talk to you. You awake?” Parker whispered through the door.
“Come in,” Henry responded, Parker surprised he heard him.
“Hey, mate. How ya feeling?” Parker asked, walking into the room very stealthily.
“Shitty physically, shitty emotionally. I let them take her. I should’ve protected her,” Henry lamented, trying to not let the tears that pricked at his eyes fall.
“It’s in the past now. All we can do is try and get her back,” Parker assured. There isn’t really time to dwell on past events. Especially zeros time for what ifs.
“How? You’re being watched like a hawk. We all are.” Henry questioned, but if he knew his best friend at all. Nothing ever stopped him.
“I have a plan,” Parker concluded, explaining everything.
You had been resting in your room, ever since Tom banished you from his office. You understood he was just trying to protect you but it only drove you more insane. Not knowing everything, all the uncertainty was eating you alive.
You sat up in bed trying to fall asleep or at least let your mind stray away from everything long enough to close your eyes. You perked up as Tom walked into the closet, not giving you so much as a glance.
“Tom, are you coming to bed?” You asked as Tom came in your room for a change of clothes.
“I’m afraid not, love. I’ll say good night here. Night sweetheart. I’ll bring her home, please don’t worry,” Tom explained, kissing your forehead.
“If you say so. Good night.” Tom noticed how broken you seemed.
He desperately wanted to hold you and comfort you but he knew it wouldn’t do any good until he brought Rosie home. If he didn’t, he was uncertain of where that left you and him. But he couldn’t let these grim thoughts plague his mind.
Not even 20 minutes later, Parker walked through your door. Right as you were about to shut your eyes. “Mom, I just want to apologize for how I was acting earlier. I’m just scared we won’t get her back.”
“Baby, it’s ok. I am too. But you have to understand, I can’t lose you too.… Wait? Why are you dressed? No. Honey, I know what you are going to do but you can’t,” you cautioned, noticing Parker’s outfit.
“Mom, I can’t let Rosie die knowing I could’ve done something to stop it. I can’t let you stop me.” He said, backing up towards the door to your room.
“Parker, don’t do this. No. No, no no.” you barked as he shut the doors and locked them from the outside.
“I’m sorry mom, I really am. I’ll miss you.” Parker emitted through the shut doors.
“Open these doors, now! Parker get back here! PARKERRRR!!! TOMMMMM!!!” You screamed. They really locked you in your fucking room. Those bastards.
“This is fucking ridiculous. Someone let me out.” You shouted, banging on the door from the inside.
Parker and Henry made their way downstairs, first stopping in the gun room to load up on ammo. Henry had never shot a gun before, well not as much as Parker. Henry was more of the getaway driver. Parker grabbed the keys of the Rolls Royce, even if it was a rescue mission, it will be done in style.
In the garage they were greeted with Tom, loading up the trunk.
“Dad what are you doing here?” Parker asked, hoping he won’t be berated for sneaking out for the hundredth time.
“The same thing you are, going to get Rosie. Thanks for the distraction by the way, would’ve never been able to get passed your mother. How did you convince her?” Tom question, a little surprised that he was able to get passed you.
“I locked her in her room,” Parker mumbled, knowing it shouldn’t have done it but what choice did he have.
“Pfft, oh god. That’s one way to do it,” Tom chuckled at the thought of you locked in your room, like you were in a time out.
“Alright, boys. We have one mission, get Rosie and get out. I won’t be coming with bad news okay?”
“Understood. The Wilsons have taken too much from me. I won’t let them take my sister too.”
“Well said, makes me feel like we are in a movie.” Henry mocked, Parker’s statement.
“Everyone in the car. Seatbelts.” Tom announced as everyone hoped in.
Both Parker and Henry looked at him with an expression of ‘Are you kidding me?’
“What? I’m still concerned for your safety,” Tom concluded pulling out of the estate and embarking to the address Rosie was at.
All the while everyone was risking their lives, you were trapped in your god damm room. The nerve Parker had. You knew it had an influence from Tom.
“I know someone is out there. You can at least answer.” You whispered, voice hoarse from yelling. Yet no one answered, making you believe you were utterly alone.
After a few minutes a voice spoke, “Hi Y/N/N.” It was the voice of Haz.
Over the years you had grown very close to Haz. You would even call him your best friend. He was there for all the big moments. The birth of the twins, someone had to drive you to the hospital and when Tom proposed to you. And of course he was here now. When you needed someone the most.
All you could think about were worst case scenarios. Concerning Rosie, Parker, Tom, even Henry. Everyone had left you alone, you couldn’t even make them stay. The fear of losing them was too much.
“Haz, how could you let them do this to me?” You cried as tears streamed down your face.
“I’m sorry. I had to respect Tom’s wishes,” Haz murmured.
“You didn’t even go, but you let your son. Tom and Parker left with Henry to risk their lives and need to be there…I have to be there. I can’t lose all of them…Haz, I can’t…. I can’t breathe,” you exasperated. The air in then room growing more thin as you hyperventilated.
“Oh my god, I’m coming in. Are you okay?… What the—?” Harrison immediately unlocked the door to come to your aide. Worried he’d find you passed out or something.
Quite the opposite, you were standing there dressed in all black, with a pistol in your hands pointing at the only person standing in your way.
“I need to know where they went,” you said, cocking the gun, directly pointed at his chest.
“Y/N, don’t.” Haz whispered, throwing his hands up in surrender.
“I’m sorry Haz. I really am. But I can’t let Parker do this. Where’d they go?” You asked with an unchanging expression.
“Some warehouse on Adams Ave and 3rd Street. That’s all I know.” Haz said, closing his eyes, knowing Tom will have his head for letting you trick him.
“That’ll do. Thank you. I really don’t want you to follow me,” You mumbled, realizing what you had to do.
“Just get it over with.” Haz commented, holding his hands out to be bounded.
“I’m sorry but this is going to hurt me more than it hurts you,” you apologized as you tied his ankles to chair legs.
“I seriously doubt that. Please make sure Henry gets home safe. Wait, where’d you get these handcuffs,” Haz said as he was bounded to the chair. He soon realized what he was bound with. The hot pink fluffy handcuffs around his wrists were meant to only be used by you and Tom.
“Umm, you don’t want to know and I promise I will.”
“Gross, Y/N. Don’t make promises you can’t keep,” Harrison made a face of pure disgust.
“I could say the same to you. Wait, Tom probably hid all the keys. Can I?” You said as you shoved a clean sock as a gag. So he couldn’t scream.
“Take them and go,” he concluded as you pulled the gag out and told you where his car keys were.
“Thank you. I’ll be back with everyone. I promise,” You said, pressing you lips to his cheek before you placed the gag between his teeth.
You quickly hopped into Haz’s jeep and jetted off. Trying to get there, soon enough to stop Tom, Parker and Henry.
At the Carter’s warehouse, Rosie couldn’t shake the taste of blood on her tongue. Carter had gotten a few licks in. A harsh slap to her right cheek, leaving a faint imprint. She couldn’t even soothe it, still restrained rather harshly. The ropes digging into her skin.
“You better hope they get here. And love you as much as they claim they do. Are you sure they didn’t forget about you. For your safe return, I’m asking big. Your brother needs to turn himself over to me,” Carter exclaimed. Rosie tensed at Carter’s ask. She can’t and wouldn’t let Parker die for her. Her face said it all. An expression of pure worry washed over her.
“Ah, there it is. That look. Deep down you know he isn’t coming. You’re more expendable than the golden boy of the Hollands and you’ve known it for years. Save your breath sweetheart. You are an afterthought, just like me,” Carter grinned.
“You’re wrong. I know they are looking for me. Once they find me, there will be no place on earth you can hide,” Rosie spat. Carter continued spewing lies about her and her family.
“I know what it’s like to be the forgotten child. Believe it or not but I had an older brother, Jacob. My father’s pride and joy and when he died, the mob could only be passed to me. My father resented me for taking Jacob’s place, I wasn’t my dad’s first choice neither his second or third or fourth for fucks sake. Hated that daft man. Kind of mad your brother beat me to kill, didn’t get the satisfaction of seeing the life slowly drain from his eyes,” Carter lamented, spilling his darkest thoughts to Rosie.
“You’re psychotic. You shouldn’t have been treated that way but it’s not too late. If you hated your dad so much, why are you after my brother for killing him. Seems like he did you a favor,” Rosie quipped.
“What kind of son would I be if I didn’t avenge his death? I stepped up and the moment Angus died, I became the leader. The same will happen to you,” Carter questioned.
“I have no idea what you are talking about. I’m just the daughter, maybe the forgotten child but not a killer.”
“I’ll wait and see. We are the same Rosie. Sooner or later, once I kill your brother you will be the new Holland to take on the mantle. Don’t you get it, we are the same.”
“You’re wrong. I don’t need validation from my family, I’m glad I don’t have the burden of living like this,” Rosie responded. Not letting him see that his words were piercing her heart.
“Maybe you don’t need it, but you’d appreciate it. All those times of living in the shadows of everyone else. Never being the first choice. ALWAYS BEING SECOND!!! Aren’t you fucking tired? I sure as hell am and there is hell to be paid from all this.” Carter shouted, causing Rosie to thrash in her restraints
“What are you suggesting?”
“Join me. You talk about not wanting this life, but deep down you are mad at the world you weren’t picked first. Like if we were still in grade school lined up against the gym wall waiting to be picked for dodgeball. You have anger, I can feel it. Use it. Let it fuel your vendetta, Rosie you’ll never get a better offer. Don’t let this be another regret,” Carter requested.
“I’d rather die than join you,” Rosie spat at him.
“If your brother doesn’t show up that can be arranged. You see, I’m a man of my word. Hopefully your brother is too,” Carter concluded, leaving the room.
Rosie couldn’t let him see it, but she was crawling her skin. Begging to get away from that heinous man and back in Henry arms.
‘Oh, Henry’ she thought to herself. The last she of him was when she was abducted. Knocked out alongside her. For all she knew he could be dead, cadaverous lying lifeless somewhere. A few tears slipped out as she let those grim thoughts plague her mind.
Rosie owed everything to Henry. Life without him meant nothing at all. He was there when she needed him most but not right at that moment.
Little did she know, Tom, Parker and Henry were all outside of planning how to bring her home safely. “Ok. We don’t know how many people are in there. But since it’s a warehouse Rosie is probably being held in the main garage. Nobody splits up. Henry you have to stay out here. If Rosie comes out, drive off,” Tom explained.
“What? No. I’m going in there.” Henry questioned, a little annoyed they didn’t want them in there. Sure he had never held a gun before or had to deal with a hostage situation, but he wanted to be in there.
“Henry, your dad needs you and Rosie needs you. She needs you if we both don’t make it. She needs you always. Just promise me, you will treat my daughter well,” Tom uttered.
“I will, sir. Parker, when you're giving that bastard hell, don’t give him a shitty threat. I’ll be waiting for all of you. Now go get our girl.” Henry said, realizing that staying outside was for the best.
Tom and Parker slowly, make their way in the warehouse. Quietly to not alert any lurking guards.
“Parker, I don’t know what we’re walking into. I don’t say it enough but, I love you son. Take care of your mother for me if anything happens?” Tom pleaded.
“I love you too, dad. I will, I promise. But nothing is going to happen,” Parker assured Tom.
“I’ll lead the way. Make sure you stay behind me.” Tom whispered, holding two fingers up.
“Psst, dad,” Parker faltered as Tom was throwing him hand signals.
“Parker, I know you haven’t really been in a shoot out, but shut up.”
“I don’t know what that means…Dad stop, I don’t know.”
“Seriously. It means, I go right, you go left and also shut up.”
“Shut up, two fingers means—“ Parker mocked, becoming oblivious to his position. He was standing right in front of an open hallway.
“Parker, shh…. Get back.” Tom whisper-screamed.
“Oh shit.” Tom mentally face palmed as Parker walking right into open sight giving away their position.
Carter’s men immediately pulled out their guns after noticing Parker jump back behind the corner. Tom and Parker both start firing, covering each other. Bullets strike the two assailants, killing them.
“Like I said, I’m leading—“ Tom said, before being disarmed.
“DAD!!” Parker screams as Tom’s gun is knocked out of his hand and one of Carter’s men wrap his hands around Tom’s neck.
“Shoot him.” Tom managed to croak out as his voice grew more hoarse, by his wind pipe being crushed.
“What?” Parker questioned.
“I said shoot him. SHOOT HIM!” Tom’s voice coming out more as a whisper scream.
Parker aimed his gun at the henchman, closing his eyes. He didn’t want to hit Tom. One shot fired, flooring the thug. The hands around Tom’s neck became limp and Tom coughed to catch his breath.
“You closed your eyes!” Tom wheezed, allowing air to once fill his lungs again.
“What? No, I didn’t.”
“Yes, you did. You could’ve killed me.”
“I didn’t want to hit you,” Parker explained.
“And closing your eyes, impeding your eyesight would prevent that?” Tom thundered sarcastically.
“Ok, if I’m right, they are keeping Rosie past they corridor and there are about three guards right there. I need to save my bullets. But we can take these guys right?” Tom mentioned.
“I guess so,” Parker hesitated.
“Here I’ll make it a fair fight.” Tom said, holding his gun up from around the corner. He fired blind and all you heard was a thud.
Parker was beyond impressed, his jaw slacked open. “How? Hooowww?”
“Parker, close your mouth. Fists up,” Tom replied, throwing the first punch. Barely making a dent in the man’s chiseled face. More punches were thrown by both Parker and Tom. Tom managed to get one of the assailants in a head lock and with the twist of his wrist, snapped his neck.
Parker tried the same but failed epically, “Damm they make that look so easy in the movies.”
“Alright. I’ll stay here to cover you. Go get your sister,” Tom chuckled. Parker just nodded and went through the corridor, finding Rosie centered in a great room tied to a chair. He approached her slowly, trying to stay quiet.
“No, please. No more torture. Just kill me already,” Rosie pleaded with her eyes shut, trying to stop tears from coming.
“Rosie it’s me,” Parker whispered, placing a hand on her cheek.
“Parker,” Rosie exclaimed. All the hope that had dissipated coming back. She was saved.
“Yeah, its okay. We got you now. You’re safe,” Parker assured her. All her bruises and cuts made his heart clench. She wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for him.
“Oh, look who finally showed up. Glad you’re somewhat honorable, giving yourself to save your dear sister. The deal was you for her,” Carter jeered coming out of the shadows.
“He’s right. I have to do this,” Parker asserted, going to walk toward him but Rosie grabbed his wrist.
“No you don’t,” Tom yelled, running up to protect Rosie.
“Parker come on,” Rosie begged.
“Are you a man of your word or a sad pathetic little boy?” Carter snickered.
“I’m sorry guys,” Parker pleaded. What choice did he have? Give himself up or have his family be constantly hunted.
“You aren’t taking him.” Tom shouted about to pull out his gun but Carter beat him to it. Shooting him in the left shoulder.
“Daaadddd!” Rosie yelled, dropping to Tom’s level.
“I’m okay, Rosie. I’m okay,” Tom explained, hissing from the pain. His shirt becoming bloodied.
“Come on, I could see you coming from a mile away,” Carter smirked.
“Well did you see this?” Parker said, sending a bullet through his abdomen. Blooded seeped all through his white shirt, the blood loss made him stumble as he fled.
“Rosie, there’s a car outside. Take dad,” Parker disclosed.
“Parker, no. You have to come with is.” Rosie pleaded, tears threatening to fall.
“I’m right behind you. I have to know he is dead. And you have to get dad home.”
“I won’t leave without you. I promise.”
“I’ll be out soon. Go,” Parker motioned. Rosie held Tom close to her body, holding him up as she made her way to the exit.
“Carter, you’re not getting away that easy.” Parker called out, running to the back of the warehouse in search of Carter.
“Come to finish the job? Missing that clean, one shot kill. What was it, execution style?” Carter joshed, coughing as blood filled his mouth.
“Exactly what I’m doing. This bullet was never meant for you but you came after me and my family,” Parker lamented.
“Parker, they’ll never be safe…. The blood you have spilled has marked them for life. They will always be leverage for the man who killed half of London’s mob scene…. Always a pretty penny for your head.” Carter said with labored breaths.
“Shut up, I can protect them,” Parker barked, soon realizing Carter was right.
“They only way you can protect them… is by leaving them.” And with that all life and breath had left Carter. Parker’s thoughts kept coming one after the other. They wouldn’t stop. All the knew was that Rosie was now safe and so was Tom.
Rosie opened the doors to be greeted with her loving boyfriend, Henry. They exchanged a few words, before he attended to Tom.
“Henry,” Rosie whispered, a smile streaked across her face.
“Rosie,” Henry returned, the same smile appeared as he stared at her with pure adoration.
“Tom. Are you okay?” Henry asked, noticing Rosie was carrying him.
“I’m fine. Can we save this love fest for later?” Tom mocked as he clutched his arm.
Not even a minute later, you came running up to the warehouse. You heart stop as you saw a bloodied Tom, “TOM! Oh my god Tom.”
“Y/N?... Baby I’m okay its just a graze.” Tom was surprised to see you here, because he specially left Haz in charge of watching you.
“Owww. What was that for?” He questioned as you punched him in the arm.
“That’s for locking me in my fucking room,” you remarked.
Next what you did, surprised all of them. Who knew anger and adoration were such close emotions. You pressed your lips to his chapped ones. He was surprised by act of love, but relished in your kiss.
“And that’s because I’m so happy to see you,” you whispered, breaking away from a gentle kiss.
“I promise I’ll never leave again. I’m sorry.” Tom whispered against your forehead as the pressed a gentle kiss.
“Rosie, where’s Parker?” you questioned, realizing your family wasn’t whole. You felt your heart sink to your stomach.
“I d-d -don’t know. He was right behind us.” Rosie stammered.
“Henry, I’m going back in. To get him.” Rosie asserted.
“Rosie, please don’t leave me again,” Henry begged.
“He came to save me. Someone has to do the same for him,” Rosie assured.
“I’m going with you,” Henry agreed.
BOOM
As they were running back to the big metal doors, a loud explosion rang through the streets. The building before their eyes burst into flames, before they had the chance to enter. It was engulfed in flames, along with everyone else.
You felt as though your heart stopped and you began to fall to your knees. Buckling under the grief. Tom caught you in his arms as you fell. No one could survive an explosion like that. Not even Parker.
A/n: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Two chapters left, then the sequel series.

17 Questions 17 People
Thanks so much @stationarystudy for tagging me! I’ve only ever done one of these before, and I love participating!! 
Nickname: Grace and Gracie are my more frequently used nicknames. I’ve got a lot though, so if any name is shouted in my general direction, I’ll usually turn around to answer. Just in case. 
Zodiac: Cancer sun, Taurus moon, Sagittarius rising. I had to look up my chart. I have no idea what any of this means, but it sounds pretty cool!
Height: 5’6” ish
Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff!
Last thing I googled: Aside from my zodiac chart? The Köppen climate map for South America. I started a lively debate about the classification of Cfa and Cfb zones and needed to support my arguments with maps. 
Song stuck in my head: Taylor Swift’s Ivy and Honey and Tea (Acoustic version) by Mōzi. Highly recommend both of these!
Numbers of followers: 36! I’m a small account, but I love all of you guys. :) Thanks for sticking around! 
Amount of sleep: Roughly 8 hours?? Maybe?? I have no idea. (Is time even real anymore?)
Lucky number(s): 2, 3, 7, 14, 27, 55, 99
Dream job: It changes every few months lol. Right now, I’m really into paleoclimatology/deep time and (sustainable) architecture. (I’ve put my scientific diver dreams on hold until I can relocate to a more coastal area.) I think, ultimately, my dream career is one that allows me to utilize abstract thought and imagination regularly and isn’t confined to a single location (e.g. allows for travel). I’m still figuring it out! Lots of self-reflection these days. 
Wearing: Cozy, oversized sweatshirt, pink t-shirt that reads “Drink Tea, Read Books, Be Happy,” pajama pants feat. clouds, and the softest socks in the world. They’ve got little reindeer on them, trotting along across the tops. I love them!! 
Favorite song: Ahh how could I ever choose!! I’ve always had a soft spot for Clair de Lune (Debussy) and Main Title: Nemo Egg (Thomas Newman). Absolutely love singing along to Les Jupes by Charlotte Cardin and Stories Reminding Myself of Me by Mandy Moore. 
Favorite instrument: I can’t pick just one! Top four favorites: guitar, ukulele, piano, and kalimba.
Aesthetic: Light academia, dark academia, and cottagecore. Is there an aesthetic for the ocean? If so, that too. 
Favorite author: Currently obsessing over Madeline Miller (still). Rick Riordan is pretty great too imho. 
Favorite animal noise: Love this question! No one ever asks me this sort of thing anymore! I love dolphin noises and the sounds small dogs make when they’re just learning to walk and have too much excitement for their little bodies. It’s a combination of skittering across the floor, crashing into things, and small, delighted yips. 
Random: I’m doing the Reading Around The World challenge this year! My goal is to read one book representing every country. (Or, if one book covers multiple countries, I’m counting that towards the goal too.) I’m hoping that in learning about all of these exciting and exotic places, I can begin to feel more at home in my academic major. If you have any book suggestions, please send them my way!!
Sorry if you’ve already done this challenge! Here are the people I’m tagging, and I hope you all have an amazing day! @idk-what-name-to-use @learnfrenchwithchanty @your-local-darkacademic-cryptid @sentranced @thespeedyreader @yellowallflower @darkmacademia @fluencylevelfrench @universi-tea @myhoneststudyblr @achillesreborn @seraphiclanguages @langblr-life @curiosity-journaling @kamahina-studies @books-and-floralteacups @a-tale-of-dreams-and-nightmares

Love, Charlotte

The Sims 4: New Game Patch (February 4th, 2020)
here’s a new Sims 4 PC update available via Origin. 
Update 02/4/2020 – PC: 1.61.15.1020 / Mac: 1.61.15.1220
Twenty years ago, The Sims was released on the 4th of February 2000. As a simulation game, it confused “traditional” gamers because it had no defined end goals and there was no way to “win.” Non-players even described it as “that game where you have to tell your character to use the bathroom.” Even now, two decades later, some people have yet to abandon this mindset, but many of you have been with us from the beginning or joined in the years between, and you understand why The Sims is so much more than just playing house.
Thank you for being here with us through this journey. We have been working on bringing new experiences to our players, such as cross-platform Gallery for our console, PC, and Mac players. And as we continue through our twentieth year, we hope to deliver new excitement to the world of The Sims.
To start the celebrations, we added the Birthday Hot Tub, which you can find in Build Buy as soon as you update your game. Yes, it is for everyone!
We also added new music—we hope you enjoy it!
New Music
“JEKYLL & HIDE” Performed by Bishop Briggs Written by Sarah Grace McLaughlin, Kristine Flaherty and Joel Little Published by Warner Chappell and EMI Blackwood Music Recording courtesy of Island Records under license from Universal Music Enterprises
“Take My Hand” Performed by Charli XCX Written by Charlotte Aitchison, Ariel Rechtshaid and Justin Raisen Published by EMI Foray Music (SESAC), Lion of God Publishing administered by Kobalt Music Publishing America, Inc. and Heavy Duty/Mind the Mood administered by Downtown DLJ Songs Recording courtesy of Warner Music UK by arrangement with Warner Music Group Video Game Licensing
“We Are Young” Performed by fun. feat Janelle Monáe Written by Nate Ruess, Andrew Dost, Jack Antonoff and Jeff Bhasker Published by Bearvon Music (ASCAP) / Rough Art (ASCAP) / Shira Lee Lawrence Rick Music (BMI) / Way Above Music (BMI) / Sony/ATV Songs LLC (BMI) Recording courtesy of Atlantic Recording Corp. /Fueled By Ramen by arrangement with Warner Music Group Video Game Licensing
“Violet Stars Happy Hunting!” Performed by Janelle Monáe Written by Janelle Monae Robinson, Nathaniel Irvin III and Charles Joseph II Published by Jane Lle Publishing (ASCAP), Tang Nivri Publishing administered by BMG Monarch(ASCAP) and Ink Is An Instrument (ASCAP) Recording courtesy of Atlantic Recording Corp. /Bad Boy Records by arrangement with Warner Music Group Video Game Music Licensing
FIXES AND UPDATES
The Sims 4
We fixed some crashes occurring in Build Mode that were afflicting some of our players.
Island Living
Fixed an issue in which Simoleons were not being granted after selling Research Data.
Sims with Child of the Island Trait can now Summon Island Elements, Ask for Judgement, and receive Judgement properly.
I mean, maybe it was a good thing that you were not being judged, but hey, you do you.
Thank you Simmers, -The Sims 4 Team

Happy Black History Month!
Today's chosen person to be highlighted is Kobe Bryant, in honor of what happened to him and his daughter recently.
Kobe Bryant was a basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers for 20 seasons, spanning 1996-2016. In 2008, he was voted the NBA's Most Valuable Person (MVP) and made the finals for MVP in both 2009 and 2010. He led the NBA in scoring during two seasons, ranks fourth on the league's all-time regular season scoring, and ranks fourth on the all-time postseason scoring list.
Kobe was widely known as one of the Greatest Basketball Players of All Time, winning Olympic Gold in 2008 and 2012 summer Olympic Games. In 2007 he also won a gold medal for the 2007 FIBA American Championship.
Kobe went directly to the NBA out of high school, drafted by the Charlotte Hornets almost immediately. They quickly traded him with the Lakers, but it was still quite a feat to have a fresh-from-highschool draft.
In 2003, Kobe was accused of sexual assault, but the charges were dropped when the accuser refused to testify. The case was later settled in civil court instead of criminal court, where Kobe denied any assault but admitted to a sexual encounter. He publicly apologized and it damaged his career, but he continued to go on strong.
In 2013, he suffered a torn Achilles tendon, which he recovered from over time. Unfortunately, he continued to get injured over the course of his career until his retirement in 2016. However, at 34 years and 104 days of age, Kobe Bryant became the youngest player ever to hit 30,000 career points.
Kobe Bryant will be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2020 and inducted into the Lakers Hall Of Fame in 2021.
On January 26, 2020, Kobe Bryant and eight others, including his thirteen year old daughter, Gianna, were killed in a fatal helicopter crash in Calabasas, California. Around the country, numerous people set up memorials to the man and his daughter, sent letters and gifts to Kobe Bryant's wife, and paid respect to the Basketball legend.
Happy Black History Month, to the Bryant family especially, and please take today to remember and respect the legacy of Black Athletes.

Purification (Interlude) - Kerli
My Style (feat. Charlotte) - Poppy
Government Hooker - Lady Gaga
Dead as F*ck - Motionless In White
Deutschland - Rammstein
O.G. Loko - Of Mice & Men
grab one book nearest to you and turn to page 23. what’s line 17? Infraspinatus muscle [it’s a book on human anatomy and page 23 was a diagram of the musculature of the back] ever had a poem or a song written about you? Yes - a former boyfriend wrote a song for me and would sing it to me over the phone when I was feeling low when was the last time you played air guitar? Literally five minutes ago - my dad has Pantera playing who is your celebrity crush? Ummm...I guess Tom Hiddleston? I really don’t develop crushes often what’s a sound you hate; sound you love?
hate: flour on a cutting board - it makes my skin crawl
love: distant thunder behind heavy rainfall
do you believe in ghosts ?  My house is haunted as fuck and I’ve had shit thrown at me...so I’m gonna go with yes how about aliens ? Thinking we’re alone in the universe is just plain arrogant
do you drive ?   I do!   /     if so, have you ever crashed ?   I’ve had someone hit me - does that count? what was the last book you read ?  I’ll Be Gone In The Dark - Michelle McNamara do you like the smell of gasoline ? It doesn’t bother me  what was the last movie you saw ?     The Stand [1994] what’s the worst injury you’ve ever had ?  During an epileptic seizure, I split the side of my head open on a desk, while still in the halo phase after the initial, i somehow dragged myself upstairs [no idea why] and when I actually returned to full consciousness, one of the first things I saw was what I thought was the start of the zombie apocalypse, but was actually me, covered in blood with an open head wound - it looked like someone had been violently murdered - bloody handprints were everywhere. do you have any obsessions right now ? I’ve been falling pretty heavily into Hazbin Hotel, but I’m also revisiting old favorites like Inuyasha, Monster, Peach Girl...I’ve also been rereading R. L. Stein’s Fear Street Seniors series;  I wouldn’t really call any of the above obsessions, but I do enjoy them a fair bit do you tend to hold grudges against people who have done you wrong? I’ve only held on to two grudges in my life, and those two I don’t think I’ll ever let go of...they know what they did

To All the Boys: PS. I Still Love You Soundtrack
Tumblr media
Hi!! Before you read this post, consider looking into my Requests page for fanfics.
I am not a very fan of the movie but the soundtrack is very nice. I selected the best songs on the soundtrack (for me kinda).  I put the songs + scene description. Enjoy!
1)  Lift Me from the Ground (feat. Sofie Winterson) - San Holo
Lara Jean and Peter are going to the Lantern Festival
2)  Lovers - Anna of the North
Lara Jean remembers the Hot Tub video in the Korean New’s Year Eve party.
3) Midway -  Bad Bad Hats
Lara opens John Ambrose’s letter.
*This song was my favorite way before the movie. Check out the band! They are like 4 songs of them in the soundtrack.
4)  Ocean Eyes - Movie Version
Acapella group sings to a girl
*We may not have this version but Billie’s is good enough
5)  Moral Of The Story - Ashe
Lara is walking in the school. She mouths the song. 
*moral of story babe. A Taylor Swift’s The Story of Us but harsh. Anyway, where is Taylor in this soundtrack? tsk.
 6)  Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Charlotte Lawrence, Nina Nesbitt, Sasha Sloan
Lara Jean wakes up in the ground.
* This version of the classic made by this super trio was also featured in Supergirl TV Show. Check out their song “Psychopath” They fit so well together! Secret: Sasha Sloan’s music would really fit well in the soundtrack too.
7)  Crashing (feat. Bahari) - Illenium
Stormy offers to help Lara Jean get ready for the ball and give her a dress. She walks down the stairs.
* The Illenium’s music is consistent and emotional. Crashing is amazing. Check out his “Good Things Fall Apart” with Jon Bellion. 
8) About Love - Marina
End scene. Peter and Lara kiss in the early morning.
*Need I say something? Marina is good for breakup, for love, to dance, to be feminist. Listen to her. Everything.
9) Like me Better - LAUV
The iconic song for the final. This became very famous after last movie. If you like this song I suggest looking a bit in the past Lauv’s songs, he changed the style a bit. Songs like Reforget,Easy Love... And see the video of him doing this song. Amazing producer talent.

Closed Starter for @scrubsandarmchairs​ for Kathleen 
Charlotte had been in her office attempting to not fall asleep when she figured it would be a good idea to get up and get some coffee. Cooper was right she needed to sleep but how could she right now? She had a lot going on and it wasn’t going to slow down any time soon. She grabbed her cup from her desk and headed into the kitchen. Charlotte filled up her coffee cup and grabbed a banana from the basket on the table. She looked up and saw Kathleen. “Hey.” she started. “How’s your brother doing?” She hadn’t heard much about him but she knew that they would all be worried. Charlotte opened her banana and took a bite from it.

10 Songs Tag
I did this once, but I have so much music you guys I will never run out, so that’s okay!
I’m doing In the Basement, In the Sky again, but this time with the playlist I made just for Jen. :) I was tagged twice, once by @forlornraven and once by someone else, but I can’t remember who or find the tag. I only remember seeing Raven tag me and thinking, “Oh. that makes two, guess I’ll do 20 songs!” I think everyone has done this now, so I’ll leave it open to anyone who wants to!
Rules: Put your playlist on shuffle and pick a lyric from each that fits your WIP!
There are 22 songs on his playlist, so I’m just going to hit all of them in order!
Tumblr media
[listen here]
In the Basement, In the Sky tag
1. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - Smile Song
But if you’re feeling worried / And your face is made of frowns / I’ll work real hard and do my best / To turn that sad frown upside down
2. Johnathan Coulton - I Feel Fantastic
I try to medicate my concentration haze
3. The Uninvited - Too High For the Supermarket
And though my stomach may be empty / I’ll feed my head from the horn of plenty / Roll a joint Bob Marley style / And smoke it ‘til it makes me smile
4. Studio Killers - Ode to the Bouncer
I’ve just got to dance right now / It’s critical to do
or
Her dress is untoward, like / Bitch is clearly borderline / Nose white as Snow White’s in moonlight
5. Jonny McGovern - Gayest of All Time
Tonight is your night / So throw on a look / ‘Cause everybody’s gonna be there
6. LMFAO - Party Rock (Choy Remix)
One more shot for us (another round!) / Please fill up my cup (don’t mess around!) / We just wanna see (you shake it now!)
7. DJ Tronix feat. Hot Cherry - Last Friday Night (Katy Perry cover)
It’s a blacked out blur / But I’m pretty sure it ruled
8. Tegan and Sara feat. The Lonely Island - Everything is Awesome
Some have said you and I are gonna win forever / Lets party forever!
9. mc chris - The Tussin
I need some fuckin’ Advil / I got a buzz bigger than a beehive
10. Scott Brown - Elysium
instrumental mood music
11. DJ Hixxy - Overload
No sense of time / Don’t even know where I’m going
12. Ke$ha - Tik Tok
Ain't got a care in world, but got plenty of beer / Ain't got no money in my pocket, but I'm already here
or
We goin’ till they kick us out, out / Or the police shut us down, down
13. Hot Chelle Rae - I Like to Dance
Well I like to dance / So if you do just get on the floor / Forget the romance / This is what music was created for / So find someone hot / And if you're not it doesn't matter / Baby, take what you got / And just go dancing you'll feel better
14. Ke$ha - Die Young
Livin' hard just like we should / Don't care whose watching when we tearing it up (you know) / That magic that we got nobody can touch (for sure)
15. Kill Hannah - Boys & Girls
He's a real animal / Gone out of control / Who'd rather die young then get old
16. Hot Chelle Rae - Beautiful Freaks
Down town spin it around / Speakers about to blow out / I cant keep my feet on the ground
17. Good Charlotte - I Don’t Wanna Be In Love (Dance Floor Anthem)
Feel the beat now / If you've got nothing left / Say I don't wanna be in love
18. Panic! At the Disco - Don’t Threaten Me With a Good Time
Five-thousand people with designer drugs / Don't think I'll ever get enough / Champagne, cocaine, gasoline / And most things in between
19. Hadouken! - Get Smashed, Gate Crash
We are the wasted youth / And we are the future / Let's get this party started / And rip the place apart / Cut the brakes, text your mates / Let's tear this house apart
20. Sia - Chandelier
Sun is up, I'm a mess / Gotta get out now, gotta run from this / Here comes the shame
21. Adam Jensen - The Mystic
Got a head full of spiders / And a heart that isn't here / In a room full of liars / All my demons reappear
22. Placebo - The Cold Light of Morning
Literally the whole damn song, I can’t pick one lyric out. It’s perfect.
