Omg ! I didn't think you'd actually respond !! We're gonna fly away from here is easily one of the best ones in the series!! It's so Twisted and disturbing but almost domestic... (Also tysm for including my name idea in your story, Idk where it came from, I just liked it and I appreciate you!) I digress. I've returned with a concept. Al almost always has a plan when he does something. I don't know where you want to go with the second child but this won't be too focused on that one...for now. I really liked how you interpreted Alastor being a weasel and weaseling his way back into the families life and was thinking about how many I wonder about if he has a plan right now, like not a long term one, obviously, but a very specific one for a 'short term'. Women back then, especially in the south weren't allowed to have bank accounts so finicial trapping works well in this case. Also just kinda the ability to turn their kids against her would be enough to terify me. People talk about the 1950's housewife, but oh my god, 1920's housewives were a new kind of depressed. I, personally, don't think Alastor is the type of physically abuse women. No, he's far too classy for that. Instead, like I said, I think he'd either use his status in their house to trap his wife. We were able to run away while we were pregnant and alone, but we have a child now...and would we be willing to leave our child with him? No, I don't think I would, personally. This was just me rambling. K, love u, currently hyperfixated on this au. Byeee !!!! _ Cherry Anon!

DON’T REALLY WANT NO TRUST FUND BABY

[before reading this, read the rest of the story!]

— seems as if alastor found out your little secret

— UR TOO SWEET I SC THIS ON MY IG STORY AND YAPPED TO MY BOY BSF FOR AN HOUR AB IT IM BLUSHING SO HARDDDD!! ABUSE WAS LIT MY LAST SOCIAL STUDIES LESSON FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR MY TCH YAPPED AB FINANCE SO HARD 🤭🤭

being married to alastor, the radio show host is quite the sensation in your town. but, behind the closed curtains, alastor did things that would’ve made lucifer shake in his boots.

no, he didn’t hit you. his mother would kill him if he hit his wife. but, just because alastor never hit you, didn’t mean he didn’t abuse you.

he tormented you in the worst way possible, through noah. and now, emilia.

it’s been 3 years. your little emilia lives up to her name, a cute little girl who’s eager to win. and, little noah is now a big boy, double digits and all.

and, since you’ve returned back to his house, alastor has done nothing but twist your babies’ minds. ‘once upon a time, mama wanted to run away from daddy… so, she ran away and took big brother with her. daddy was sooo worried for mama and big brother though… daddy was able to track mama down, and took her home!’ he cooed to your daughter, bouncing her in his arms— with you right beside him!

you wanted to yell; scream. of course, emilia was too young to understand what alastor was saying. but, still— the fact that he was trying to tell your children that he was some sort of white knight who saved you from yourself. you wanted nothing less, but to snap that neck of his like a twig.

you really shouldn’t act so brashly though. to outsmart alastor, you have to think like him. think of what’s smarter in long run.

alastor was ‘kind’ enough to give you an allowance. $200 every week for groceries and whatever you may need. he’s even so kind as to let you have some ‘private bonding’ with noah and emilia as they accompany you to the farmer’s market.

thankfully, you had a father who wanted to make his little girl survived even without a husband. and so, you had to hear all of his ramblings about finance. saving about 45% each week for 3 years… was about $14,000!

if you saved just a little more, you’d be semi-financially independent until you can get a proper job to take care of your children. it was run-away money, so to speak.

you hid the money in noah’s room. after all, who would expect money there? especially $14,000? and, it worked, for a while. every monday, while you tucked him into bed, you brought the money with you and hid it behind his dresser.

until, what had seemed like a normal tuesday. you came home from the tailor’s, getting back a dress that noah accidentally tore. when you came home, it was only two hours after noon. and despite that, alastor was home.

“a-alastor..! what are you doing home so early? you have a broadcast in 2 hours…” you narrowed your eyes at alastor, on the floor with your children, many new toys surrounding them. “ah, darling! i decided to pick up our children early, and we may have splurged on our little shopping spree…” he smugly grinned. “oh..? where’d you get the money?” you raised your eyebrow, closing the door and laying your bearings on the dining table.

“funniest story ever, my love! there was a random stash of money in noah’s room! seems as if the tooth fairy came early!” he laughed. random stash of money in noah’s room..? “oh. i see.” your breath stopped for a minute, thinking of what kind of consequences could come from it.

“do you have any idea how that money landed there?” he side-eyed you, expecting a lie. “perhaps it was from the old owners? you know this house, there’s so many secrets in here.” you said. “i see… i suppose you are right, darling!” he giggled.

you were back on square one. financially dependent on your husband, if you could even call him ‘husband’. as you climbed up the stairs, you heard alastor whisper to your son. “you see that? momma lied. she got less talkative when papa asked her a question.”

this is what alastor’s been teaching your son. as much as you want to protest, you did lie.

oh, how much you wished for much more simpler times. playing with your baby boy in the kitchen as you make little treats together for his snack at school. and now, the boy alastor’s turning him into— a cunning sociopath, the lord only knows what he will teach your daughter.

this is just a minor setback, it has to be.

January 11th 2024

Yeah its been a while since i updated. I haven't had the energy to if i'm honest, but here we go.

Hubby had his brain surgery end of November '23. The tumour they took out was a nasty one, somewhere between the size of a golf ball and a kiwi fruit. The wound has healed well with little to no side affects apart from some double vision, but he was checked out for that and it is a common after affect of brain trauma and was remedied with an eyepatch for a few weeks.

We met with the Neuro Oncology team at Royal Marsden Hospital in London. They are one of the best (if not the best) cancer treatment centres in the whole country, and we worked through a treatment plan.

Just before Christmas hubby was also cleared to have shoulder reconstructive surgery (he broke his shoulder bone in the original seizures back at the end of October '23). There was a really small window of time between it being enough time after the brain surgery that he could go back under general anaesthetic, but also enough time to mostly heal before he started Radiotherapy and Chemo, so just 5 days before Christmas hubby was in and out of our local hospital in a single day to have that surgery.

Christmas was a quiet and subdued affair. I also herniated a disk in my back the day Hubby had surgery (i was clearing the deep freeze out ready for grocery delivery), so it meant both he and I were dosed up to our eyeballs on strong painkillers for most of the holiday, and Little Dude spent the majority of the break either playing video games or building his new lego sets.

Two days before Christmas i also had to have emergency dental work (i had been grinding my teeth and had previously cracked a tooth) and whilst i was in the dentists office some utter idiot crashed into my car. That was the last thing i needed but i simply handed it all over to my insurance company (who are aware of my husbands situation) and they arranged a hire vehicle and sorted repairs.

Onto the start of 2024. This is the first week of Radiotherapy and Chemo for Hubby. He is getting very tired and fatigued already from the Radiotherapy, but thankfully no nausea from the chemo as yet, but that could change over time. He is scheduled for a full schedule of 6 weeks of this dual treatment, where we are having to visit Royal Marsden every day Mon - Fri for the six weeks, and then he also takes the chemo 7 days a week for the six weeks.

He'll then have 4 to 6 weeks 'off' treatment for his body to relax and recuperate, but will have scans and MRI's during that time to gauge what further treatment will be, but its likely to be just chemo but a stronger dose, but no radiotherapy. The chemo is to be 3 weeks off one week on, so a 4 weekly cycle.

The one thing we have discovered isn't done is prognosis's. When we first got to Royal Marsden we were shocked as they started talking about years, and explained that although it was a really nasty tumour, it was found very early and whilst it was still relatively small for its kind. They've discussed things like 'this years treatment plan then we'll look at next years', and also for a while Hubby was being considered for a clinical trial which candidates who have prognosis's of 12 months+ are only considered for. In the end he didn't meet the criteria (his cholesterol was too high). The Macmillian Nurses also have been talking to us about Mobility Car assistance schemes where you can get govt assistance financially and get an adapted vehicle on a 2 year rolling lease. All these timings are reassuring in one way, but worrying in another - we have no idea what the future holds and it really does cement in stone that our time is limited and could end any moment, and makes it very difficult to make any long term plans. You don't realise how much of your life is preplanned until you end up in this situation and aren't sure if you can book your kid onto the school residential trip in 5 months time.

Should anyone want the mundane daily day-to-day life updates you can follow me on my personal instagram @simone_with_an_e its generally a load of utter boring bollocks, but i try to keep it updated daily with updates when i can as its a lot easier to do 1 short paragraph than a big update.

For me my mental health is a little better now that i've had time to process Hubby's diagnosis and that he is getting treatment. There are still days or hours when i fall apart, and it could be something as simple as listening to a song on the radio as i drive back from dropping Little Dude at school and i realise the song would be lovely at his funeral. I end up having to pull over and have a cry whilst switching the radio off. I'm loosing weight and aging quickly, my hair is turning grey from stress and i realised i've aged about 15 years in the last 3 from stress. My appetite comes and goes, and things like red meat now turn my stomach and i can't digest it. But i also haven't drunk alcohol since the day before Hubby had his seizure back in October. I feel like i need to stay 'alert' in case i need to rush him to the hospital for something. I don't miss it as such, but I miss the ability to fully relax. Its hard to describe but i feel like at the moment i've lost myself and am just functioning to care for those around me, going through the motions as such.

Anyway, this has been a long update. I do still lurk here, you may see me pop up in notifications liking something, but at the moment i don't feel its right to start putting fandom stuff back on here yet. I do hope to get back to writing at some point. I miss it and the unfinished stories plague my mind as i have such lovely plans for story arc's and really want to finish them.

Take care all,

Schnauz

I'm still not feeling great, but I really needed groceries. So I forced myself to go last night, which was a really bad idea considering I hadn't recovered from post-exertional malaise as it was.

But I didn't have much food due to stalling for so long. I know I could do delivery or have someone pick stuff up, but I really need to walk around and pick things out. If I am not in the mood for something I won't eat it. I can be picky that way. And then it spoils and I have to throw it out. It's just better if I go to the store and find things that my brain has a craving for.

It just seems like whenever I have the least energy and I try to do a short, simple trip out of the house, I have all of these mini-adventures that make it not as short and simple.

In this case, I didn't even make it out of my driveway before the adventures began. I got in the car there was a warning my tire pressure was low. And usually it isn't that bad and I can just fill up the tires when I have more energy. But one tire was extremely low, so I didn't want to chance it.

I wish I knew why my tires lose air so fast. Seems like I fill them every week or two. I read it could be bad valve stems. But like, on all the tires? I'll save that mystery for another day.

Unfortunately putting air in my tires is just about the hardest task for me specifically. Even if I sit on a stool, I have to bend down in a way that pushes my belly against my lungs. I run out of breath very quickly and so I have to go up and down many times to finish filling the tire. By the end of filling all 4 tires, I was sweating, exhausted, out of breath, light headed, and nauseous.

I really need to find a better way to fill my tires. I could try sitting on the ground, but standing up from the ground is not always easy for me and I'd have to do it 4 times.

I wonder if there is a place I can tip someone to do it.

I digress.

I make it to Sam's and I am struggling before even walking in the store. And they have gigantic shopping carts that take much more energy to push around. Schnucks has these little baby carts that are great for when you need a few items. I guess Sam's assumes if you are going to a bulk store you are going to buy in bulk.

I get my sushi and my brownie bites and everything else and head towards checkout. I have a bit too much stuff for self checkout to make sense, so I get in line.

On one side of me was a guy who was impulse buying a 65" TV. Which is a really bad idea. You should never buy any electronics without researching it first. (Or ask me. Everyone should always ask me before buying technological items.) He was buying a TV that was made to be thin. And if he needed a super thin TV, and he couldn't afford an OLED, it was an okay choice. But for the same price he could get a thicker TV with much better image quality. There was a part of me that wanted to take him back over to the TV aisle and help him make a better decision. But my anxiety thought of about 30 ways that could have backfired and I was barely standing.

And then there was this cart in front of me...

Seriously?

Is there a midwestern hurricane headed this way or something?

I don't even understand how they did this.

This isn't Tetris. This is... overstuffing a turkey.

I'm a little worried about those eggs too.

Thankfully a new lane opened up and I didn't have to wait 30 minutes for them to figure out how to deal with that.

I did try to use my amazing Tetris skills to arrange my items so the bar code was visible for each one. (I probably could have done self checkout, I guess.) Last time the lady thanked me for making it so easy for her. So I was waiting for this lady to pull out her laser shootie price gun and start zapping my stuff.

But she unloaded everything in my cart onto the conveyor.

My shopping cart Tetris skills went unnoticed and she had to do 3 times the work.

Then I get out to the parking lot and a bunch of carts are all blocking the disabled parking space for people with rear-loading wheelchairs.

I tried to move some of them as I went by. I just didn't have the energy to put them all in the receptacle. But even if they are in the yellow zone, that is where they need to unload the wheelchair. I'm just so tired of people being inconsiderate like this.

And I also see a lot of disabled people without wheelchairs using this space. I suppose if it is the only one available, but this is such a great accommodation for wheelchair users. It is much safer to unload away from traffic. I would rather park in the back of the lot than take this option from someone.

Oh, and Schnucks has one of the disabled spots reserved for police and that makes me so mad too. They can double park if there is an emergency. I never see a cop car in that space and so many people could be using that.

Sorry, after pushing my dad around for a year I have become very sensitive to this.

I really wanted to drive straight home, but I still needed some soup and black cherry soda from Schnucks. I probably should have gone back a different day, but sometimes a different day isn't for weeks. So I just got it all done at once. Plus I really wanted to try that Vess black cherry.

Sorry, RefresCoVesScnhucks™ Black Cherry Soda.

I've been pretty sore all day. And I'm still not prepared for the second house auction. And people are coming to pick stuff up from the first auction on Friday. The house is a mess again. Half the groceries aren't put away.

I'm going to need to pull my lantern battery out of the pocket dimension to charge myself back up.

i tested positive too back in march but thankfully it wasn’t bad for me. only had a regular fever for one day and then just your regular schmegular stuffy nose for like two nights and after that i was completely asymptomatic, no coughs no nothing.

but i DID have to fuck off and get myself checked in to government-run temporary housing exclusive to covid patients for self-isolation because i lived with my mom just the two of us and she was 62 so i had to get the fuck away from her before she could contract it from me seeing as she was high risk due to her age 😭 both my siblings had to drive down and take off work to stay with her for like a few days just to make sure she got tested (and thankfully it came back negative), take her grocery shopping (the fridge and pantry were close to bursting by the time they were done unpacking the groceries) and teach her how to work the alarm system around the house (because it was usually my job to take care of that) before they drove back to their respective towns for work (none of them worked from home) 😭 it was so nerve-wrecking for all of us like we were more worried about leaving our mom all alone up at the house without any of us around than we were worried about me because there was no one to take care of her, what with me gone for 2 weeks 😭

I totally understnad what you mean, even if the sickness isn't as bad, the fear and disruption and arrangements are tough! We all go pretty sick back in the winter with it --though not hospitalization sick!-- but it's tough because it's not like we can drop the kids at my parents house or have them come help or soemthing, we don't have local family. So no risk to anyone but parenting sick kids while you are also sick is really touch :( I'm so relieved this time seems to not be nearly as bad as last time! and I'm glad you're doing well and hope your mother is as well!

Homeless Part two

I was still in shock the rest of the week and drove myself insane trying to figure out how in the hell I had nothing but my carhouse, me, and my dog to worry about and still had the same amount of bills I did when I wasn't on the streets. I was still making a car payment and I tried to keep that between $200/$300 a month, car insurance after all the bullshit tickets, $187 a month. (for the record the ovi's still make me sick to my stomach, I deserved the punishment for them. Well most of it.) Cell phone $70 and that was after switching to cheap ass metro. Website for business $70, business insurance $40, gas at least $400 and that is me driving with the gaslight on and praying I don't run out. Food well there was no place to store food so I was spending $20 a day at convenience stores, because when you don't have a home you also have limited places to keep groceries. I have a small cooler for the car to keep drinks in. Mainly bottled water that gets refilled. Peanut butter and jelly is what keeps me going. I have soy or almond milk and cereal. Never any real food. Hotdogs and smoke sausage are a treat. So just this small list of the cost of being homeless. It's around 1500 a month and I don't ever have a place to take a shit!!!! All of the things listed if you noticed didn't include tampons, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, dog food, or any other little thing you don't think about always having ready at your fingertips. Qtips, god I miss always having them. I forget to buy them everytime I go to the store and when I do remember I don't have the extra money to spend on them. It really is the smallest stuff sometimes that makes you feel like a real human.

Speaking of humans, you all know that what we put in the body comes back out in some form. Have you ever been away from home and had to take a shit? Where did you go? Now think about being around your town having to shit, no money to buy anything at any store or restaurant, and most gas stations locally don't have bathrooms. Fast food places are even pains in the asses about coming in only for the bathroom, but even if they aren't most of them are a good distance away when nature comes calling. I have actually had to shit on the side of the road, in a bush, barely hidden from view. Guess what? I had no toilet paper, so I slid my ass back and forth on the grass, sliding over slightly each swipe to get my ass as clean as I could. Thankfully and dreadfully it was full blown winter and the snow helped out with the cleaning process nicely. Man that was a moment I almost just quit trying. It was one of the most humiliating things I've had to do. Sad to say there have been so many more times like that over the last few months that I cringe thinking about. I have done things in the last few months I never dreamed of having to do, but this far in it doesn't bother me as much as it did at first.

Something that does bother me though is, people don't care. They really don't give a rats ass about their neighbors, or the person they see walking down the street with that packed full backpack, and a worn out tired look on their faces. They will walk or drive right by you and not take a second glance. It makes me sad to think this is the world I grew up in. I must be an alien, not really human, because I have never been able to just drive by someone I can see clearly needs help and not stop. I have always went out of my way to offer food, shelter, or a ride to it, clothes, money, etc. My dream has been most of my life to open a community center type place, with the exception that the government isn't allowed to interfere. It will be my Treehouse of Creations. The doors will never be locked and everyone I don't care what your story is would be welcome. Unless you hurt children or animals and then I'll kick your ass while throwing you out the door! My own community of misfits that just need a big mommas porch to come home to. As you read this think about all the people you have in your life and the love you feel and share with them. Then try if you can to imagine waking up everyday in your car, or under the bridge, behind a dumpster, or hiding in a park shelter. Imagine not talking to one other human all day, and then that carry into 4 days in a row. All the time you are awake is trying to figure out where you will sleep and eat for the day. Wondering if you will get a shower or be able to just sit down and rest for a min after the long day of work. My Treehouse will be all that and so much more. Teenagers or kids that are having a bad time at home, come hang out and paint, write, play music. Shit break something if need be. But come to the Treehouse and know that you will be loved and accepted. Respected, and listened too. I just want to make sure I do my part to never make another creature feel as unloved and unwanted as I feel today and everyday for the last 8 months. I don't want anyone to be afraid they are going to freeze to death, Or get raped or murdered because it's not always safe in the dark. I want people to have a place to relax on a chair or bed or couch and just feel normal. Take a shower without shower shoes on, or for the love of all that is holy, have somewhere to take a shit!!

I want to help the addicts find peace, and a skill that makes them happy. So they can use that to replace the drug that is killing them. I want to offer a studio for artists, a music room for musicians, computers and books for writers, daycare for single moms, and so much more. I guess I want a community of people who just love, accept, and cherish the people around them. Helping each other hone in and perfect our talents and skill sets. Then in turn each person learn new skills from each other. The Treehouse of Creations I picture is a place where, when we say come home and put your feet up. That's exactly what we mean. You are family here and always welcomed.

Well there I go spiraling with my thoughts. It's hard sometimes being me, I exhaust myself trying to just keep my mind on task, or getting my brain to just shut the hell up! Signing out for now, still homeless on a budget

I'm 30 weeks and everything is chaos lol

I can't even wrote coherently about it bc my brain is overloaded.

instead of "nesting" and being able to rest, we are now ripping up the carpet and tile in 80% of the house to put down wood flooring and the nursery (a spare room that already had new floors) is being packed full of all our stuff from the bedroom and various rooms that will be torn up. Myles mom is adamant that we re-paint the bedroom, which means I can't sleep in there again for probably a week bc I can't be around paint fumes!

I get induced in 7 weeks. I'll be spending the last 5 weeks of my pregnancy SOMEHOW unpacking all our shit again. I want to set up the nursery but that can thankfully wait for now.

even if someone had a healthy pregnancy, nobody in their third trimester wants to be doing this. and I'm not healthy. I don't want to be staying at my moms for a week or more, especially without Myles (at least ill have the dogs). I don't want to feel displaced and disorganized and confused and disconnected. I don't want to constantly worry about my blood pressure AND my blood sugars and I'll probably have to buy groceries for my mom's house just so I can eat properly. and bring my hospital bag in case I have an emergency.

I'll survive and it'll get done and I'll get over it, but holy shit, I am not gonna like it or think this was smart planning.

I think what bothers me most is the lack of consideration for what my experience is going to be during this. They're just like "we have to get this done before the baby comes!" uhh yeah so why didn't you do it 4 months ago? although I guess that was the dead of winter. idk. I'm just so aggravated bc nothing about the end of my pregnancy/birth is what I wanted or imagined right now and it's completely out of my control.

It's midterm season, folks!

Thankfully, I don't have to worry about doing both midterms in the same week. Research Methodology doesn't meet on October 10, and we got a take-home test on Monday, so I have a week and a half to get that done. I got a lot of research done yesterday for my Brazil project, which needs to be ready next Thursday, so I'm excited to dive into that further. (I stopped at finding sources yesterday because I wanted to confirm how long the paper and presentation need to be. The syllabus was a little vague on this subject.)

Research Methodology

1. Midterm exam. (Well, I certainly took my time. Let's hope it was enough.)

2. Do a reading. (Straightforward enough.)

3. Look for sources. (And be ready to explain my research topic and the sources I've been able to find.)

4. Find a book that seems to be really super important to my topic and obtain it. (Good news -- one of the books I really wanted was actually available online!)

5. Go pick up my Library of Congress reader's card. (It's very on brand for me to fangirl over a library card.)

Music in Brazil

6. Project. (I have no words.)

Musicology Colloquium

7. Read something for next week. (That ... was not a spreadsheet.)

Practice

8. Choral stuff. (This week's rehearsals are finished!)

Adulting

9. Go grocery shopping. (Suceeded in waiting until payday!)

10. Laundry. (All done!)

11. Send in work availability. (Finished at work today!)

I finish a giant list for Research Methodology and then I'm right back where I started with the giant list. Ah well.

#amy rambles #amy's to do list #research methodology #music in brazil #musicology colloquium #piano practice #adulting #catholic university of america #cua #benjamin t rome school #musicology #music major #i keep having to remind myself this is a two-week (almost) to-do list #it's okay #also i stayed up too late again last night y'all and i'm feeling it now #this isn't good #away goes whatever productivity i thought i had #uggggggggggggh

Reader x Jumin oneshot where the reader is Yoosung’s second cousin and came to visit him from America?

Yoosung was ecstatic.

You were coming to visit!!!

He remembers when it was just him, Rika, and you against the world. People called you three the Cinnamon Bun trio. Because the three of you were always so sweet, kind, and loving.

It wasn't the same when your family moved to America during your third year of high school. You were 2 years older than Yoosung and always acted mature for your age.

He would always go to your for advice or for help in his studies. You were really smart and explained things in an easier to understand method. He missed you a lot...

You were gone across the world and then he lost Rika 3 years after...It was hard.

But! You were coming back to visit and this time it wasn't because of a family death!

He wanted you to have fun and maybe he could convince you to move back here in South Korea!

He blew up an air mattress (that he would sleep on and you can take the much more comfy bed. You were a guest afterall). Then, he spent the days cleaning his home from top to bottom. It was a deep clean he had never done before...after all the disgusting things he saw...maybe he should do deep cleaning more often...😖😖😖 He even went grocery shopping and bought actually ingredients for real food. Wow. He had gotten a temporary part time job so he could afford all the extra items he got for your stay here. He even got a few cheap home decor he thought you'd like to make the house look nice.

You were an important guest.

He was so busy doing all his chores and working (and studying sleeping in school) that he hadn't even logged into the messanger for a week.

He stared at his home in awe. It was like he was in a different apartment. As he was about to finally relax, his doorbell rang frantically. He groaned in annoyance and got up.

"Why are they ringing so much? Hold on please I'm opening the door!" Yoosung called out and thankfully the knocker stopped.

He had barely opened the door before a frantic Zen rushed in.

"Yoosung! Where have you been?! You haven't been responding to our calls or texts and haven't logged into the Messanger. We were all worried sick!!!"

"Ooowww." Yoosung rubbed his check where the door slapped him the face. "What do you mean? I'm perfectly fine. I've just been busy working and making the house look nice."

Zen looked at Yoosung in surprise. "Oh. You mean that place you were hired at 4 months ago. I thought you would've quit by now..." Zen muttered to himself.

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?!"

"It means that we were waiting for you to get tired and quit like you always do."

Yoosung's eyebrow twitched. He was going to quit on the day he was going to pick you up so he can collect his last check and spend more time with you. But now he just wanted to stay to prove a point.

...

Nah. He was still going to quit.

"I just needed money to get (Y/N) some stuff. They are going to be here in 2 days so I wanted to make the house spotless. Didn't mean to ghost you guys."

"(Y/N)? Who's that?" Then Zen gasped and pulled Yoosung into a headlock. "Wait! Did you do all this to impress someone? Are they your girl/boyfriend?" After seeing his friend was okay, he was relived and was now calmer and more playful.

"Ack! No way! (Y/N) is my second cousin. Don't you remember? You may have never met them but they were a big part of Rika and I's childhood! Anyway, their going to stay here for 2 weeks and I wanted to make the house more comfortable for them to stay in. Maybe I can convince then to come back home and live here again." By now Yoosung and Zen were sitting on the couch. Zen now more relieved since his friend was okay.

"Oh! Yeah I remember! The one who moved to America, right?"

"Yup! That's them! I can't wait to see them I haven't seen them since...since a few weeks after Rika's funeral...I remember how upset they were when they wasn't able to attend the funeral...It wasn't their fault since they were really sick and had to be hospitalized...At least they ended up okay..." Yoosung paused in a moment of sadness. Zen frowned and remembered what Yoosung had said before.

"Wait. Did you say you wanted to convince them to move back here? Are they looking for a new house or something?" He had quickly changed the subject.

"Oh! No they're not currently looking to move...But I feel like I can totally convince them!" Yoosung brightened up. For a moment Zen stared at him in confusion.

"But don't they have a life and a job back in America? Moving suddenly is a little rash, don't you think? Plus what if they like living there? They might not want to move." Zen tried to reason with him.

"Well, I think they will be more happy here! All I have to show them is how great Korea is! Once they remember, they will definitely want to come back. My plan is foolproof!"

Zen wanted to say something, but after a week of worrying, he knew if he continued it would result in a fight and didn't want to get in an argument right now. He knew how Yoosung was.

So he left it alone for now.

Zen entered the chatroom.

Yoosung entered the chatroom.

Jaehee entered the chatroom.

Jumin entered the chatroom.

707 entered the chatroom.

Yoosung

Guys!!!

They are almost here!!! I can't wait!!!

Just wait til you guys meet them!!!

I guarantee you'll love them!!!

Jaehee

Yooosung...

I know you are excited to see your cousin...

However...

You have been talking about it nonstop for the past 2 days.

Please.

Stop.

Jumin

I agree.

It's gotten annoying.

707

*Laugh emoji*

Looks like Jaehee has had enough.

Quick!!!

Yoosung keep talking about your cousin!!!

Let's see how mad she can get.

*Pulling down glasses emoji*

Jaehee

*Angry emoji*

Luciel.

Trust me.

You do NOT want to see me anygry.

707

*Scared emoji*

Yoosung!!!

Run!!!

She's out for blood!!!

Yoosung

Ack!!!

Sorry!!!

I'm just excited....

Zen

We understand your excitement, Yoosung.

And truly we can't wait to meet them either.

However

You don't have to announce it everytime you log into the chat...

*Sighing emoji*

Yoosung

Okay...

Got it.

*Crying Emoji*

Oh!!!

By the way Jumin.

Thanks for preparing a ride for us. I'm glad (Y/N) doesn't need to take a taxi.

I prepared a sign so they can find me.

*Sends picture of a colorful, poorly drawn sign saying, "(Y/F/N), welcome back home!!!" It was covered in stickers of some of your favorite things.*

Jaehee

...

Jumin

???

Zen

*Sweatdropping emoji*

...

What does it even say???

Geez, Yoosung.

Did a rainbow puke all over your sign? It's way too colorful.

And I don't mean that in a good way.

707

Lololololololol!!!

They probably won't be able to read the sign with Yoosung's awful handwriting.

Jaehee

Uhm, well it is very...unique

Jumin

Unique is one way to describe it.

I believe the more appropriate term is messy and unorganized.

Yoosung

*Crying Emoji*

Aw, come one guys!

I worked hard on this all night!

Zen

...

Maybe you should have worked a little bit harder...

707

Lololololololol!!!

Yoosung

*Frustrated emoji*

Who cares what you all think!? (Y/N) is going to love it. I put stickers of all their favorite things.

Oh!!!

They're here!!!

I see them I gotta go!!!

Yoosung has left the chat.

Yoosung turned off the Messanger and called out your name. It was hard to hear over the crowd of people, but someone you managed and walked in his direction.

"Yoosung!!!" You glomped him into a hug.

"(Y/N)!!! You made it!!! Do you like the sign I made you.?!" He held it up and you could see the blur of colors mixing in with each other and with the stickers...What does it even say?

You chuckled nervously. "Yeah...I love it. So cool!!!" Yoosung beamed.

"See!!! I knew you'd love it!!!" He grabbed you luggage. "Wait til you see my home!!"

Three and a half hours had passed since Yooosung picked you up and brought you home. You were suprised about the fact that you were in an expensive company car with his own driver. His friends must really be rich...

It was still early in the day. Everything was unpacked and you had settled in. You were tired, but wanted to spend time with Yoosung. You'll have time to sleep when it gets nightime.

Plus you were going to meet his friends soon, so you out on a nice, casual outfit. Gotta dress to impress.

Despite the jet lag, you were having a fun time hanging out with Yoosung's friends. Even V tagged along when he heard you were coming. It was nice to see him and Yoosung again. It was weird without Rika being there...

Jaehee was nice to talk to. You felt that you could become gal pals once you gotten to know each other better. Zen was a bit of a flirt, but he it was interesting to hear about his acting career. Jaehee and Zen both recommended you watch certain plays. You might watch it with Jaehee together some time. Zen was a bit embarrassed about watching his old plays. Seven was a hilariously interesting character. He had you crying laughing by the end of the night. You two were definitely going to pull pranks on the other members with each other. Mostly Yoosung, since he was so gullible.

You, V, and Yoosung caught you on everything that had happened since you last saw them. It was nice to catch up. You were sad that Yoosung and V's friendship had gotten so tense. Yoosung was so hurt over Rika and lost his trust in V...You wish things could be like they were before. But the past is long gone. Still, despite having to constantly stop Yoosung from arguing with V, it was nice to spend time with them again. You had missed this.

You and Jumin really hit it off the most. Since you were already a good friend of V and Rika/Yoosung's cousin he wasn't as closed off as he usually was when meeting new people. (When V heard you were coming, he may have talked you up to Jumin. So Jumin had heard some things about you from him allowing him to understand a bit of the kind of person you were).

Jumin was suprised at how easily you got him to open up to you. This was your first time meeting and within the hours you interacted, he felt like he was meeting up with an old friend. He didn't know why, but he felt comfortable with you.

The next 2 weeks went by in a flash. During that time, you grew closer to all the RFA members, specifically Jumin.

You'd visit C&R when Yoosung was in school. (You had to force him to go for the sake of his future). You would hang out with Jaehee and Jumin when they weren't busy. You would help Jaehee do her work sometimes. (Even though she said it wasn't necessary). You worked so efficiently and effectively that Jumin started to consider hiring you. Jaehee was grateful to get a small break.

It wasn't a surprise when they asked you to become a part of the RFA. V suggested that you take over Rika's position. Since you were just as good, if not better, at communicating with people. You were apprehensive at first due to the fact that you dearly missed Rika and didn't want to be a replacement for her. You didn't think you could do her job justice. But the others members, especially Yoosung, were encouraging and convincing. So. You were now a member of the RFA.

You were currently in Jumin's office waiting for him to return for a meeting. You were leaving tomorrow afternoon and wanted to hang out with Jumin before you left.

You heart fluttered at the thought of the raven-haired male. You had developed feelings for him and while you wanted to confess, you were way too nervous. His the rich business owner of C&R. Surely he had women and men falling at his feet. He'd never go for a normal, boring person such as yourself.

You sighed sadly with you face contorted in frustration and disappointment.

"(Y/N)? Is everthing alright? Your sigh was a bit sad." You jumped when Jaehee inquired about your well-being.

"Jaehee! Oh. You scared me." You hand was over your racing heart.

"Oh, my apologies. I did not mean to frighten you." Jaehee tilted her head in question. "Are you alright. From what I've observed over the past 2 weeks is that you're usually in high spirits or cheery. However, right now you're quiet gloomy."

"A-ah!!!" You turned away from her embarrassed. "You are very...observant Jaehee. But don't worry too much." You waved your dominant hand at her in dismissal. "I'm fine, I'm just sad to leave you all tomorrow. Yoosung's been trying really hard to convince me to stay. But...you know how it is. Trying to find a decent apartment anywhere as well as a new job is such a hassle. Ha haaa..." you chuckled nervously.

"Ah, yes. I understand. I, too, am sad to see you go. However, we still have the Messanger! So you can call us or chat with us anytime!"

"Of course!" You smiled at her.

"Ah, (Y/N). Welcome back. I'm assuming you managed to force Yoosung to go to his classes today?." Jumin walked in and you immediately brightened up.

"Hahaha. Yeeeah. He was trying to skip his calculus test today. I told him I'd buy him dinner at his favorite restaurant if he went." You sighed. "Honestly, what am I going to do with him? I had to teach him how to make quick and easy food recipes. Did you know he has been surviving off of ramen noodles and water?"

"I knew Yoosung had some bad eating habits, but I didn't realize it was that bad. I'm aware of Seven's though. Dr. Pepper and Honey Budda Chips...But because none of us knows where he lives, we can't exactly force him to eat better." Jumin shook his head.

As you two were engaged in your conversation, you didn't notice Jaehee look between the two of you with a knowing smile. She hoped you both happiness with each other. (Plus, you tell Jumin not to over work Jaehee and lately she has been able to take breaks during work and go home earlier to relax. She appreciates you). Jaehee slipped out of the room to give you privacy.

You hadn't notice time flying by as you chatted and helped him with some work related tasks. Being with him was nice. When you looked into his shining eyes, you know you were doomed to fall in love.

Later that night, you sat on the balcony of the hotel you were staying at for the night. You had wanted to visit you home city before you left. However, it was six hours away. Jumin, wanting to make you happy, flew everyone there in his private helicopter. (You and Yoosung were so excited as you'd never been in one before). You felt bad for Zen though. He had gotten airsick.

After guiding them through the city and having a delicious meal it had gotten late. So Jumin suggested for everyone to stay at C&R's local hotel for the night and fly back tomorrow morning. So here you were in the penthouse balcony silently crying and sniffling.

You didn't want to go back.

"(Y/N)?"

You gasped and spun around so quickly that it made you dizzy. Jumin had fast reflexes so he grabbed you so you wouldn't fall.

"Th-Thank you." You blushed and glanced away from him, while quickly wiping your tears. You couldn't look him in the eye due to your embarrassment of getting caught crying.

"So Jumin, Wh-what brings you out here so late? Everyone else is sleeping. Why aren't you?"

"I could ask you the same thing." He wiped a stray tear away. "Why are you crying? You're not hurt, are you? Did one of the employees make you upset? If so, just tell me their name and I will have them fired."

You couldn't help but laugh at that.

"No no. It's nothing like that. I just-" you cut yourself off. You didn't want to say.

"You just what, (Y/N). It's alright. You can tell me. If you're worried about judgement, I assure you I won't think less of you. We can keep this just between us. After all, I care for you dearly and I would never harm you." Jumin boldly took your hand and kissed the back of it. You couldn't help it as your blush darkened.

"I-I...W-Well you see...I..." you shyly glanced up to witness his gentle, caring expression. He was still holding your hand and was now rubbing circles. Slowly, you moved your hands so they were now cupping the hand he held took hand with. Feeling brave, you guided your closed hands to your forehead as you looked down at the floor. "I don't want to go home..."

You haven't even told Yoosung this, you weren't planning to tell anyone out of embarrassment and shame. Yet, you felt so comfortable with Jumin. Everything just came spilling out.

"I was fired from my job as an account. The job may have been frustrating and annoying, but it paid really good money. I-I didn't even do anything wrong! My boss was just so...so...so awful! They would constantly harass me and shamelessly flirt with me when no one was watching. When I finally reported them, it turned out that they were friends with HR and together they turned it around on me. I got fired for 'putting a false charge on my boss' and got ridiculed for it. No one would believe me. I've spent months trying to find a new job, but no one would hire me because of my last job. I've been having to do odd jobs to make money a-and pull out of my savings to pay the Bill's. I even had to sell some of my belongings! I don't know what to do! The reason I came here was because I just needed to get away. I didn't want to tell anyone because it's just so frustrating and I didn't want you thinking less of me for being so weak. I don't...I don't know what I'm supposed to do now..."

You sniffled as you trembled and cried. It wasn't fair. What did you do to deserve this? Was Jumin going to believe you? Or would he call you a liar too?

You hadn't expected him to pull you into a hug and stroke your head. You were stiff as first before your lips trembled and you buried your face in his shoulder and squeezed him. He let you cry out your frustrations.

Once you had finally calmed down, you used your long sleeve pajamas to wipe your face of snot and tears. It was disgusting, but you were to upset to care.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to just cry like that." You sniffed. "And I got your pajama shirt all wet. I'm sorry."

"There's no need to apologize. I can tell you've been stressed for quite some time. What your boss did was unacceptable and you ended up paying the price. I assure you, he will not he getting away with this. What is his name and where does he work?" Jumin pulled out his phone was about to call someone before you stopped him.

"A-ah please don't! I just want to forget about it. There is nothing that can be done anyway. Let's just please drop it."

"(Y/N). What your boss did was not okay. Because of him, you suffered for months. I-" You placed a finger on his lips to stop him.

"Hey. I know you're trying to help and I am really glad you believe me. I just...I don't want to think about it anymore. I want to move on with my life and just find a good job and a new home. So please...forget about it...for me?"

Jumin studied you for a moment. He could tell you were clearly upset. For your sake, he would stop talking about it. However, that doesn't mean he won't ask Luciel to find dirt on your old boss and make them pay.

"Very well. If you insist." He put his phone in his pocket. "Allow me to offer up a suggestion then. You can work for me along side Jaehee as my secondary assistant. It pays good money and it would allow both Jaehee and myself with less work. Since you are a born citizen of Korea, I see no trouble in you moving back here and finding a home. I understand you have stuff at home, so I can hire a trusted moving company to pack and ship your belongings here. You don't have to go home if you do not wish. I'd have no problem with you staying in home. Elizabeth the 3rd has taken quite a liking to you so she'd have no problem with it. What do you say, (Y/N)? Will that work for you?"

"Yes...okay...Th-that would be wonderful... Thank you...thank you so much!" You pulled him to your lips and kissed him in pure happiness without thinking. But then you realized what you did and pulled away. "Ah!!! I'm so sorry!!! I don't know what came over me!!! I just-"

You were stunned. Was it really that simple? No it couldn't be that easy...But...looking into Jumin's eyes, you could tell he was serious. Maybe he could do it. You wouldn't know unless you gave it a shot.

Jumin silenced you by wrapping his arm around your waist and pulling you back in. The kiss was sweet and gentle. You both held each other and poured all your emotions out. You both had wanted to do this for the past few days and now that it was happening, you cherished the moment.

"Hey (Y/N)? Are you in her-WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY COUSIN?!?!?!"

Yoosung, you have to take your calculus test.

You already flunked the last one.

Plus, she was nice enough to let you retake it.

DON'T make her regret it.

*Arms crossed emoji*

Zen

(Y/N) is right, Yoosung.

You're never going to pass college if you don't study...

(Y/N)...

How can you stand him?

*Angry emoji*

Yoosung

AGH!!!

Did Jumin just type hearts?!?!?!

Who are you?!?!?!

Jaehee

It is quite unsettling isn't it?

But work isn't so bad anymore, so I'm not complaining.

I've finally going to be able to go see Zen's new play.

*Dancing emoji*

707

Awww.

Aren't they cute?

But I'm still trying to figure out how (Y/N) found out where I lived.

Come on (Y/N)!!!

Tell me!!!

How did you best the great 707!!!

(Username)

It's a secret...

*Shushing emoji*

707

T_T

So mean...

Yoosung

Oh!!!

Did you guys see the news?!

Apparently, (Y/N)'s old boss finally got caught for their harassment of their employees.

*Angry emoji*

It's about time someone put that jerk back in their place!!!

I hope they gets what they deserve for what they put (Y/N) and the others through.

Zen

Yeah!!!

*Angry emoji*

Who do they think they are?!

Harrassment is not okay!!!

Jumin

I agree.

It looks like Karma finally caught up. ^^

Yoosung

Ack!!!

*Scared emoji*

707

Lol!!!

The smiley face of doom is back.

Zen

Jumin...

You didn't have anything to do with that...

Did you?

707

O.o

Did he?

*Shrugging emoji*

Who knows?

Jaehee

Wait a moment...

Did you???

Did Luciel...help you.

You are both...suspicious...

(Username)

Actually...

Didn't you say, the two of you were doing something together just last week.

Jumin

What do you mean?

It is clear Karma would catch up to him sooner or later.

I just sit back and watch. ^^

707

Yeah!!!

It could have been any other hacker who leaked out the videos to the public.

Zen

*Sweardropping emoji*

You two just basically admitted it...

Yoosung

The boss deserved it!!!

So good rinse!!!

You sighed to yourself.

You should have known he would've done something like that. He was you boyfriend afterall.

You glanced over at him through the meeting room glass.

As you two locked eyes, he flashed you that breathtaking smirk. You gently smiled and waved back at him.

You were so in love with him. You were glad you got fired, because now you have an even better job with the man you love.

And you wouldn't have it any other way.

HOW DARE YOU THREATEN BOB YOU KNOW WHAT-

Couldn’t Care Less .2

Shigaraki x GN!Reader

Warnings: Angst, death, blood, abuse, gore

~~~

“i hope that blue haired fuck got what he wanted. I hope that handyman freak dies alone.” You say to yourself as you walk down the alleys way of Musutafu. The smell of the dingey and moldy alleyways flood your nose as the laughter of happy couples ring in your ears.

How come they got they’re happily ever after but you didn’t? It wasn’t fair. You did everything you could to be there for him. Yet he still treats you like shit, all because you cared about him? And then he thinks your cheating all cause you ask a male friend for advice! What an insecure asshole.

A vibrating in your pocket brought you back to reality as you realize your phone was ringing. Letting out a sigh you answer,

“Hello?”

“Come pick up your shit.” Oh, you thought you blocked this fuck.

“Keep it asshole. I don’t want anything that smells like ‘lonely bastard who only gets action from his hand’ on my clothes. Burn it, decay it, I couldn’t give a shit less.”

“God you were always so dramatic. And there’s no reason to be a cunt.”

“And there was no reason for you to be an insecure dick. You either block my number or im calling the police and ratting on you.” A silence fell over the phone. Nothing was said until you finally spoke up.

“Jeez your pathetic. I’ll do it myself.” He was about to say something, insult your most likely before you hung up the phone and blocked him not seconds later.

“Now he’s outta my hair. I can finally feel some sort of calm.”

~~~

3 weeks later

After a day of coming back to your musty apartment you decided it needed a little bit of cleaning, considering you haven’t been their in about 4 months. You paid up front all the time even when you weren’t living in it. Just in case ya know?

You swept up the floors, vacuumed the carpet AND shampooed it.Cleaned the tub, shower and sinks, cleaned out your empty refrigerator, washed all you sheets and what clothes you left there. It wasn’t much so you knew you had to get some more before anything else. That and groceries.

After all that was said and done, you sat down on the couch and just relaxed. Well you tired, that was before Shigaraki popped into your head again. It wasn’t a sort of loving way, it was a hatred sort of. The thought of his stupid face made you just want to punch a wall, pretending to be his face.

But you ignored it as you turned on the Tv, hoping that would get your mind off him. Nothing interesting except the news. Always talking about violence and war. Same old thing over and over. Blood, death, tragedy.

“This world is a cruel unjust place. The only way it seems to be recognized in this world is death or doing horrible things. Nothing good every comes to fruition.” You grumble before walking to your room and plopping down on the nice clean and still warm sheets. The nice smell of lavender slowly dragging you to sleep.

~~~

A loud bang hit your door which ripped you from your slumber. You were questioning on checking it out before you heard something that made your heart stop,

“If there’s anyone in the house kill them, we can’t have people knowing we ransacked this place.” You slowly get off your bed before moving slowly and quietly to your window. Your push your fingers on the glass and you gently push it up. Grabbing at the sides of the window you pull yourself out of it, not before hearing a gunshot and a burning pain inside your calf.

“Fuck! They’re getting away!” You could hear them from inside the house.

“Did they see you?!” You fell from your window onto the ground. Thankfully your apartment was on the first floor so it wasn’t a high drop.

“Not that i know of! I did shot them in the leg so they shouldn’t have gotten far!” You try your hardest as you run towards the main street. Cutting through alleyways, going as fast as you can as you hear they’re footsteps behind you. Looking up closely you see a hero, knowing he was your only chance you scream for help.

“Help me please!” The hero’s head turned towards you and ran towards you. You guess the robbers heard your cry for help because they’re footsteps seemed to be heading back your probably trashed apartment.

“Oh my! What happened?!” The sound of the hero’s concerned voice calmed you down a bit.

“Some people tried to rob my place and i tried to get out of there silently but they must have came into my room and saw me leaving and shot me in the calf!” You wince as putting pressure on the wound burned hotter than hell.

“Don’t worry! I’ll get you to the hospital in no time!” You felt relieved before hearing a crunching sound, you looked to your left and see a familiar patch of blue hair in your peripheral vision. You ignored him before getting picked up by the hero and was carried to the hospital. The blood loss from your calf slowly dragged you into unconsciousness.

~~~

After waking up you notice the white room you were in. It was pristine to the touch and smelled of lemon cleaning products. The bright lights hallways peered inside your room from the crack of your door.

Looking around the small feeling of pain crept back into your leg except not as painful anymore. Pulling back the covers you notice bandages and a small bit of blood that stained through the bandages around your wound.

“Ah fuck that’s gonna scar. It’s gonna be a pain to heal too.” You say to yourself as you pull back the blankets and wrap yourself up in them.

Right as you were falling back asleep the ringing of your cellphone brought you out. Grumbling in annoyance you grab it and look at the caller id. It was a number you didn’t recognize so you just let it ring thinking it’ll be the end of it. That was until it started ringing again. You sighed in frustration and picked up the phone, not wanting it to ring longer since it was in the dead of night at the hospital and you wanted people to be able to sleep.

“What the hell do you want? It’s the middle of the night.” You annoyed voice rang into the other side of the phone.

“Why tf were you talking to a hero? Did you fucking break your end of the bargain?” You were confused at first. You definitely knew the voice behind the phone. Then you remembered earlier that day when you saw him in the shadows.

“I was literally shot. You think im not gonna ask someone for help?” You rub the bridge of your nose.

“I don’t believe you. You always were a two faced bitch.”

“Oh jesus fuck, thanks for the insult. Glad to know what you always thought about me.”

“I’m going to kill you you backstabbing bitch.”

“Love ya too. goodnight and goodbye Shigaraki.” You hung up and blocked said number. You weren’t going to lie, hearing him spill such an insult and threat hurt you and made you very weary and afraid if he would actually go through with it or if he was just saying that to scare you.

You knew what those hands could do and you knew how painful that death would have been. You were hurt more than you liked to admit, at the beginning of your relationship he wasn’t aggressive or mean at all towards you. He’d try to get you flowers or your favorite type of drink. He called you pet names that would make your heart flutter and beat, you don’t know what you did wrong for him to change so suddenly. It was like on day he flipped a switch, and you never knew why.

You tried recalling the day where it started and remembered that everyone was annoyed or being rude to Dabi, you didn’t know why and when you asked Spinner or anyone else they just said it was national, be a bitch to Dabi day. You laughed and shrugged it off ignoring it before walking up to your boyfriend giving him a kiss on the lips, only to be pushed into the wall and ignored. You just looked at him in shocked and it had only spiraled down from there to where you are now.

Something had to be wrong. You knew it, Dabi had to have something to do with Shigaraki’s switch in behavior. You looked around the room for any camera and when you noticed that there were none, you called up the burnt male himself. He surprisingly picked up on the first ring.

“(Y/N)? I haven’t heard from you in 3 weeks. Or was it four? Doesn’t matter, where have you been?”

“Dabi, i need you to be honest with me, did you say something to Shigaraki?”

“Huh?”

“Dabi, five months ago Shigaraki flipped a switch and went from a caring boyfriend to an actually nightmare. I need to know if you or anyone else said something to him.” Dabi was quiet on the other line before sighing,

“About that time range i made a joke about sleeping with you, everyone knew it was a joke but apparently Shigaraki didn’t. I didn’t think he’d treat you like he did. Im sorry.” You fell silent. All this shit treatment because Shigaraki couldn’t a joke. Sure it pissed you off that Dabi made such a stupid joke but you were more mad at Shigaraki that he just treated you like shit instead of asking you and confronting you about it.

“Thank you for telling me. Do you know where Shigaraki is now?”

“He left about an hour ago, why?” Shit. You knew this was the only hospital close to your place and Shigaraki knew that too. You got up from your bed and locked the door before going back into your bed, watching the crack under your door incase the light was blocked.

“Dabi, I just want you to know that i forgive you.”

“What? What the fuck are you talking about-” Your phone went silent as the battery died.

‘Shit shit shit shit!’ you thought to yourself as you beg for the phone to turn back on. But you fell silent as the light from the outside of your room was blocked.

“(Y/N), I know you're in there, open the fucking door before i decay it down.” You said nothing in fear. You were glued to your bed as you faced the door.

But that fear was nothing compared to seeing him actually decay the door.

“You stupid snitch. i should make your death as painful as possible.” he said as soon as he stepped inside your hospital room.

“Shigaraki, I didn’t snitch I promise. Why don’t you believe me!” You say as you get off your bed and try to get as far away from him as possible. The pain of the bullet would making you wince.

“Why would I believe a cheating bitch like you?” Before you could speak a four fingered grip wrapped itself around your throat. Shigaraki was always fast, you should have known that you were gonna die even if you tried your hardest.

“I didn’t cheat on you!” You try to pry yourself from shigaraki’s grip.

“Dabi says otherwise.”

“Are you really going to believe him?! You didn’t even talk to me or ask me about it! Just went straight to believing him!” The grip on your neck got tighter.

“then why was they’re a hickey on your collarbone?!”

“You gave it to me! It was fading out!”

“That doesn’t change the fact you snitched!” His pinkie was grazing closer to your skin.

“I never snitched, I was robbed and then they shot me. If you went to my apartment you would see i was right.” He said nothing just staring at you with cold dead eyes.

“Look! I have bandages wrapped around my calf!” Shigaraki looked down before saying something back.

“It was something the hero’s did so they could protect you in this shit hospital.” I was at that moment you knew, nothing you said would change his mind. You shed not a tear while looking him in the eyes

“I wish I never met you. Fuck you Tomura Shigaraki, I hope you die alone and I’ll see you in hell.” You move your head so his last and final finger touched your skin.

The pain of your skin decaying and falling off was much more painful than you thought it would be. You can remember screaming in pain but, it felt more of a emotional scream rather than one of physical pain. but it seems you weren’t the only one screaming.

The sounds of Shigaraki wailing and screaming your name reached your ears before all you heard was silence and saw nothing.

Shigaraki scrambled to try and grab you and even put you together, but your bloody ashes stuck to his hand. Remains of your existence covered his clothes as he screamed in pain.

“No no no no! Wait please! I didn’t mean it!” He cried as his tears fell onto your ashes, the tears collecting the ashes and forming a grey tear drop. He wasn’t thinking clearly, he’s sorry! He didn’t want to kill you!

Bile rose from his throat as he puked all over the ground, inches away from your ashes. He grabbed your ashes trying to pick them up to hold what was left of you. But all he got was the remains of your smeared all over his hoodie. He shook violently as memories of you guys replayed in his mind, your happy face and the way you use to love him and care for him.

But now, you were nothing more than ashes on his sleeve, reminding him that he was now truly alone.

Fall pt.3 (George Weasley X Reader)

Hello, so I just hope you like it. If you're interested to read part 1 and part 2

Summer holidays are the best. But this summer you're not staying at the burrow because Fleur and Bill are staying there. And Fred and George are in their shop. You're currently staying with Lupin and Tonks. You can't go to Diagon Alley because you're on the Animagus process. You don't leave your room for a month and haven't seen George. You missed him so much. But you don't want to repeat the process of being an Animagus process again. Plus you're doing it illegally with the help of Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks. Even George doesn't know about this. A month having a leaf of mandrake on your mouth. Today is you're all expecting for an electrical storm. You're reciting a chant of incantation for millions of times with the tip of your wand placed over your heart. Thankfully you didn't fall to recite it. Finally, the storm came and the last lighting struck you are placed in a large secure room and recited the chant incantation.

"Amato Animo Animato Animagus, " you said and drank the potion.

And you transformed into a bird. A Eurasian magpie. You suddenly recall George's Patronus. You flew around the room and transform back into witch form.

"Well done (Y/N), " Remus said happily

"We're so proud of you, " Tonks said

"Thank you, I wouldn't accomplish it without your help, " You said

"You have to stay for a week to train your new achievement, " Remus said

You're euphoric right now. Happiness can't be described in words. After a week of training, Remus sent you to Leaky Cauldron to enjoy your remaining days of summer vacation. After dinner, you receive an owl from a close friend of yours.

(Y/N) I'm going to Joke Shop tomorrow wanna come with me? Going to check the twins Mrs Weasley asked me to, and I have news to announce. If you will come, meet me at Ollivanders.

Levi Kreisten

Finally, you will be able to see George again. You were so excited about tomorrow. The next day you went down to have your breakfast and change to comfortable dress. You went to Ollivanders and saw a familiar figure, a girl with different eye colours, wearing a blouse skirt and coat. You can see her usual emotionless face.

"Let's go, " she said calmly.

You nodded and both of you walked to Weasley Wizard Wheezes. You entered the shop and saw a lot of products placed neatly on the shelves. A lot of costumers are examining the products.

"Ladies, what can I do for you?" You heard a voice from behind said.

"Freddie, I missed you, " you said and hugged him.

"Oh, it's you two, I missed you too (Y/N), " Fred said and hugged you back.

"Georgie, look who we have here, special shoppers, " Fred yelled.

Suddenly another redhead appeared out of nowhere. It's George your boyfriend. You longed his presence for months. You excitedly hugged him. And snog him in front of Fred and Levi. You don't care anymore you missed him so much. You longed for his touch.

"Children cover your eyes, " Fred yelled.

You rolled your eyes and smiled at George.

"Where have you been? I haven't heard anything from you for a month, " He said.

"Sorry Georgie I will explain it to you later," you said.

"What brings you here?" George asked Levi raising an eyebrow.

"In the one who invited (Y/N) to come with me here to see you and you're going to ask me what brings me here with that kind of gaze, you ungrateful swine," Levi said and glared at George.

You're not really planning to visit George today because you're tired. Levi is right she's the reason why you're here at the Joke Shop.

"Calm down woman, " Fred said.

"Sorry and thanks, " George said and smiled at her.

"Why don't you go upstairs and spend some time together, but don't ever think about having -, " Fred said but Levi hit him hard not finishing his sentence.

You already knew what he means. Of course, you know that you're too young to do such a thing.

"He's right, don't worry about the shop I'll fill your duty with this git for today, " Levi said.

You nodded and George leads you upstairs to their flat.

"This is amazing, " you said in astonishment.

"I know right. It's because of your brilliant boyfriend, " George said proudly.

"It's more believable if you said 'because of your brilliant boyfriend's twin, " you said teasingly.

He rolled his eyes playfully and you hit him lightly. You two sat on the settee while your head is resting on his chest and his arms on your waist.

"Where have you been?" George asked.

"With Lupin and Tonks, " you replied shortly.

"And what did you do there?" George asked curiously.

"Animagus, I'm an unregistered animagus, " you whispered to his ear.

"Did you really?" George asked.

"Yes, love, " you said and grinned at him.

"Breaking one of the wizarding rule eh?" George said.

You didn't say a word and move closer to him. The tip of your nose is touching. George lay down the couch and now you're at the top of him. You move closer and pressed your lips into his. You crave for his lips. His touch everything about him. He moves his lips to your neck and placed kisses on it. You switched places now he's on top of you. Suddenly the door swung open revealing Levi and Fred. You accidentally pushed George making him fell on the floor because you're shocked.

"Blimey, I told you not to make any funny business, " Fred yelled.

He helped George get up.

"You're overreacting Freddie, " George said.

"We're not going to do that stuff, " you said.

"Fix yourselves were going out for lunch, " Levi said.

"Lunch?" George asked.

"Yes? Do you reckon we're going to wait downstairs and starve ourselves?" Levi said.

"We have groceries on the refrigerator, let's just cook something for lunch, " George suggested.

"Do you know how to cook?" You asked George.

"Of course I can cook, " George said proudly.

"Oh really, " Levi said and went to the kitchen limping.

"Why are you limping?" Fred asked and followed her.

"Come on love, " Georgie said.

You extended your arms and George carried you to the kitchen placing you down on one of the dining chairs.

"I'm going to help, " you said.

But you don't know how to cook. Fred was helping Levi. Minutes passed both Levi and George looked disgruntled. Because you and Fred burnt the meat.

"What a terrible cook you are, " Levi and George both said.

You and Fred laughed at those two. You decided to just sit down and watch them.

"George, fix that burnt meat, " Levi said.

After an hour the lunch is finally served. While eating your lunch George whispered something to your ear.

"We're going to leave a love potion on the counter let's find out the secret of this two, " George whispered to your ear.

Fred noticed that George is saying something to you so he kicked George's leg. George did the same but he kicked the wrong leg. Levi winced in pain.

"Ouch, that's my leg, " Levi said.

"What's wrong with you? You're limping and you look a bit peaky." You said.

"It's nothing, " Levi replied.

"You said you're going to tell us something, " you said.

"Ah! I'm going to train as an Auror next month, " she said.

"Are you sure you can?" George asked teasingly.

"Of course I can, " Levi said glaring at George.

You noticed that Fred's face suddenly change. He looked unhappy.

"What's with that face?" You asked Fred.

"Aren't you happy for her?" George said.

"I am! I'm delighted that she will achieve her dreams someday, " Fred said and faked a smiled.

After lunch, Fred and Levi are cleaning the table, you and George went downstairs and opened a love potion in one of the shelves near the counter. You grabbed an extendable ear and went upstairs.

"We're going downstairs to assist the costumers, have fun lovers, " Fred said.

Levi and Fred left the room and closed the door. You and George went to the stairs and used the extendable ears.

"I bet Levi will notice it before Fred does, "You said.

"No, my Freddie will notice it first, " George said.

"You owe me 10 galleons of Levi noticed it first, " You said.

"And you owe me 10 galleons if Freddie noticed it first, " George said

You opened the extendable ears and listen to the noise downstairs.

"Why does this shop smells weird did you spill your perfume all over the place?" Levi asked Fred.

"You owe me 10 galleons, darling, " you whispered to George's ear.

"Did not, you're the one who spills your perfume all over the shop, " Fred complained.

"Definitely not!" Levi told him.

You and George are laughing hard silently. It's confirmed that those two fancies each other.

"Wait is that a love potion?" Levi said pointing the love potion you opened on the shelf near the counter.

Levi looked upstairs and noticed the extendable ears. She saw both of you and George laughing. Then she grabbed the daily prophet on the counter and rolled it. You and George immediately pulled the extendable ears and run inside the flat and closed the door.

"I'm going to kill you, gits, " Levi said.

"Georgie how could you set us up, " Fred said.

After a few minutes, you heard silence. You and George went downstairs and saw Levi and Fred busy assisting and entertaining the costumers. Cracking jokes sharing laughter with the children and teenagers. You and George joined them. Enjoying every moment the day finally ends and George asked you to stay in their flat for the night because Fred is going to the Burrow.

"Once again no funny business okay, " Fred said and left the store with Levi.

You and George went upstairs and rested on the couch.

"D'you reckon we should close the shop for now?" George asked.

"I don't think so, maybe when the students go back to Hogwarts, this shop is amazing, remember what Professor Dumbledore said 'Happiness can be found even in the darkest of time if one only remembers to turn on the light' this shop is one of the lights in the dark and you turned it on that's why people, children, teens they love your shop because it's their happiness, does that make sense?" You said.

George smiled at you.

"Thanks, love, " He said and buried his face on your shoulder. Both of you stayed like this until you fell asleep.

The following day Fred went back to the shop early. Before you went back to the Leaky Cauldron you help them fix some stuff.

"Fred I will go with (Y/N), I'll come back before the shop opens, " George yelled.

"Sure, " Fred replied.

Both you and George went to the Leaky Cauldron. The owner said that the Leaky Cauldron will be temporarily closed. Because they are afraid that the Dark Lord might come and take their lives.

"Where will I stay?" You asked yourself.

"That's not a problem love, you can stay at our flat, " George said.

"But-" before you finish you words George cut you off.

"No buts, come on let's pack your things, " George said and grabbed your hand.

He helped you pack your things and you walked back to the Joke Shop.

"You're back!" Fred said.

"Yeah, the Leaky Cauldron kicked everyone out, " George sighed.

"So you're staying here? That's fine you can stay in my room, " Fred said.

"Pardon?" You said.

"You can stay at Freddie's room, he'll be leaving tonight and stay at the Burrow, " George said.

"What about the shop?" You asked.

"I'm sure you two can handle it, and before you go back to Hogwarts we will close it until the war ends, " Fred said.

"Yeah, we will stay at the Burrow on your last week, " George said.

"The others will visit the shop tomorrow, " Fred said.

"Come on darling let's fix your stuff upstairs," George said.

You nodded and head upstairs. The following day the Weasleys arrive the shop with Harry and Hermione.

"When did you get here?" Mrs Weasley asked.

"Yesterday, the Leaky Cauldron kicked everyone out for a good reason, " you said.

"Why don't you stay at the Burrow?" Ginny asked.

"I'm doing fine staying with the Twins, " You said.

"(Y/N)!" Hermione exclaimed giving you a hug.

You hugged her back and give Harry and Ron a hug too.

"Where have you been?" Hermione asked.

"I live with Professor Lupin and Tonks for a month, " You said.

You noticed that George and Fred disappear from the crowded store. You're wondering where he went.

The following week you and George arrive at the Burrow. You placed your belongings in Ginny's room. It's nightfall and everyone was outside. Only Mr and Mrs Weasley are inside. You want go out but Mrs Weasley told you not to. You can hear Levi's voice scolding the twins. While the others are laughing. You want to go outside badly.

"(Y/N) dear, change your clothes and wait for someone to go and fetch you upstairs okay, " Mrs Weasley said and handed you a dress.

What are these clothes for? You were confused at this moment. You don't know what's going on. A minute after changing your clothes someone entered the room. It's Ginny, Hermione, Fleur and Levi.

"Ready?" Ginny asked.

"Ready for what?" You replied curiously.

Levi blindfolded you and they lead you downstairs.

When you removed the blindfold you're at the forest where you and George used to walk every morning.

"How did I get here?" You asked yourself.

No one was there except for a Crookshanks. You followed him and he leads you to a tree. A glowing tree. Suddenly George appeared out of nowhere. Handing you a rose.

"My Lady, " he said.

Romantic music played and he grabbed your hands and placed on his shoulder while placing his hands on your waist. You two started to dance.

"What is this for?" You asked him.

"I planned this for months, " he said grinning at you.

After the romantic dance, he knelt in front of you pulling a small box from his pocket.

"(Y/N)(L/N) you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. I fell for you since the day you literally fall on me. I know we're still young for this but I want the world to know that you're mine, " he said.

You're speechless and don't know what to say.

"(Y/N) I love you so much, can't even imagine my life without you. I want to do this before the war. Will you marry me?" He said and opened the box revealing a ring.

Tears of joy stream down your face. Seeing the man you love in front of you proposing is the best thing that happened to your life.

"Yes, " you said.

He placed the ring in your finger and kissed you. After the proposal, you and George head back to the burrow. You can see the busy Weasleys with Potter, Granger and Kreisten setting the table.

"We're back!" George announced.

"So?" Mrs Weasley said.

"I said yes!" You said happily.

Everyone cheered. Everyone was happy.

"You're officially a member of Weasley family, " Mrs Weasley said.

Fred who was opening a fire whiskey was scolded by Mrs Weasley.

"Frederick Weasley put that down, underage wizards can't drink that, " Mrs Weasley yelled.

"But mum we're not underage, " Fred said.

"No, no liquor for tonight, " Mrs Weasley said.

You and George laughed at him.

"Welcome to the family sister in law, " Fred said and winked at you.

You all settled down and have your dinner. This was the best night ever.

It is my dad's birthday and my parents wedding anniversary and it's a full moon and it's Friday the 13th and it's the anniversary of Scooby-Doo. There's so much good and powerful energy today. Specifically I want to say happy birthday to my dad though because I love him so much and he's gone through so much in the last couple years but he is always attacked the day with kindness just like I tell everyone else to do. I hope you have a very good birthday and I love you and thank you for being my dad.

But on my end for the most part today was not my day. I just felt really sad. Frustrated. I just wanted to come home. And it wasn't even like a real reason just everything was wrong.

I woke up this morning and I felt fine. James had to leave early because he had to go to the dentist. But he made me a sandwich before he left because he's the best. And then I got ready and left it at the bus. But even though the ride was nice I was really early. Which is normally fine but I got to the building and it was locked and the lights were off. And my anxiety just absolutely peaked.

I was convinced that I wasn't supposed to be there and that we weren't supposed to come in or they were a different site and I was so upset and distressed and convinced I did something wrong. I stood outside for about 10 minutes and finally Sarah and the other Jessie came But anxiety was still pretty bad for most of the day because of that.

We spent the first hour just kind of brainstorming by ourselves. Coming up with ideas and figuring stuff out for our lesson plans. I had a lot of ideas already written down so I just did a bunch of research and started flushing things out a little bit more concretely.

For the most part it was a good guy. But then I realized I accidentally sent all of me and James's new gardening stuff to the old apartment and I was so bummed. I just felt so stupid and I just kind of sank into myself because I was so upset. James is an amazing boyfriend though and when I told him how upset I was he took the extra time between the dentist and having to go to work to go to the old apartment and get everything to bring back so I wouldn't be sad. He's so good.

But then my new phone was attempted to be delivered to the apartment and because it needed a signature they didn't leave it. I'm glad they didn't leave it but I thought they would take it to a pickup point. But they didn't. They're just going to wait till Monday and try again and I was so bummed out. I really wanted that to come today and when it didn't I was just like super sad. And I kind of just put a damper on the rest of the day for me. I was able to figure out how to make all of my UPS packages go to the pickup point from now on and so my phone will go there on Monday so I won't have to worry about not being here. But it's still a huge bummer and I feel very dumb. Thankfully it's not like my phone is broken. I was just excited about a new thing. I wanted to get it set up tomorrow while I was at the BMI since it will probably be slow. It's all right. I'll be fine.

We had a good afternoon at work though. We went through and talked about all of the artists that we were considering for research for testing our kids. And we went through a lot of really awesome artists and it was funny that me and fitsum or actually thinking about two artists that were very off the beaten path so that was cool. And I'm really pleased with the final list that we came up with. I am sad that one of the other side of Hope for got knocked off the list that doesn't mean I'm not going to teach you about her just that she's not going to be on the test. And I got my way on the layout of the semester's so that was cool.

We finished up a little bit early and I went to grab the bus but then miss Helene drove past me and stopped and she ended up giving me a ride to Dick Blick. I knew I wouldn't see James until much later because after he's done work he's going to go to his parents house to get the car and then he's going to go to the grocery store to get ready for our cookout tomorrow.

So I went in and I gave him a hug. His other manager made a joke that a customer wanted to see him very specifically. Made me laugh. And then I walked back here.

On my walk I ran into a co-worker from the BMI and that was cool. I posted in the group today about the job openings at access art and apparently everyone was talking about how great I am over there today and have felt really good. It's not the first time someone's told me that they talk about me over there and how they say a lot of positive things so that feels really cool I'm loved. I don't always feel that way. So it's nice to be reminded.

I had to make a stop at the hardware store to look for something for James but they didn't have it so I came back here. I did a whole bunch today actually. When I got back here I kind of snack and then I started working on some drawings. Our gardening stuff was here because of James so I made little tags for the all the herbs were going to put in there and the tomatoes. And then I set up the garden itself. I probably could have bought more rocks but I still think it'll be okay and I'm going to put all of the herbs in small Planters to start with anyway. And it was pretty excellent. It was fun playing in the dirt. I also dyed my hair so that I would look all nice tomorrow. And I worked on one of my Furby tarot cards. I'm actually going to go make something to eat and then do another one. My Hope Is that in the next week we'll get everything photograph so I want to have at least a couple cards finished. Start selling them as a small set.

James should be finishing work now and then he'll go start shopping for stuff. And I'm just going to hang out here. Hopefully he'll be home soon though because I miss him. I hope you guys all have a great night. Tomorrow I have work at the BMI and then we have our little get-together. I hope people come. Seems like it might be kind of small but I don't mind that. It'll be fun to show off our new place to everyone.

Be safe out there guys. Take care of each other. Good night.

I've been looking around for a while and I don't know if minimum wage would be enough to get an apartment, buy food, and take care of all my cats and it's just generally stressing me out and now I'm wondering if I should even think of living alone

Take a deep breath! While not ideal, living on minimum wage can be done. My advice to you would be to look for some sort of roommate situation as opposed to living on your own. You could also rent a room in a house which would be significantly cheaper than a one bedroom apartment. Your cats shouldn’t cost you more than $50 extra a month, and they will give you such relief and comfort. Moving out of your parent’s house and living on your own can be stressful and feel overwhelming- you’ll want your furry friends by your side!

Budgeting on Minimum Wage

Overview

The average minimum wage in the US is $7.25/hr. Even working full time at 40 hours a week, that’s only a profit of $290 before taxes. This is not a fair living wage! You are worth way more than this amount! I strongly encourage you to start looking for another job that pays better, look for something around the $10-$15 range.

While $7.25 is atrocious, thousands of people around the world support families on much less. If they can do it while supporting children, so can you! To live off a minimum wage budget you need to declare yourself independent. If your parents are still claiming you as a dependent YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO THIS. I also recommend that you have the highest amount possible taken out of your taxes so that you get money back from your state at the end of the year, instead of being in debt to them.

What I’ve done is come up with a budgeting plan based off some made up factors and my own personal experience.

Housing

1. City life. Forget about the city! Apartments located in cities can be three times as expensive as apartments in small towns or villages. On top of the extra expense, they’re much smaller and have less amenities included. I’d much rather live in a one bedroom apartment with a dishwasher and a conveniently located Laundromat, than a literal closet with no windows on a fifth floor walkup. Look for apartments twenty minutes to a half hour outside of your closest city. Now you have the close conveniences of a city, with none of those pesky city prices that your budget can’t handle.

2. College towns. Shop around and look at apartments by local colleges. Large colleges with have apartment complexes within walking distance of the school grounds. Landlords know that college students have less money (you might even be a college student yourself) and adjust their prices accordingly. Even apartments next to ivy league schools are priced this way, so don’t be discouraged by the institution’s “prestige”.

3. Locale. Your safety is more important than your bank account. It doesn’t matter if you live in Section 8 housing or in an affluent suburb. Some apartment complexes and neighborhoods are just safer than others. I live in a heavily populated and upper middle class suburb, and the first year I moved in, a drunk woman tried to throw a beer bottle at my car. Thankfully this is the only time this happened to me, but it made me feel unsafe in my environment. Before signing a lease, walk or drive around your prospective home’s neighborhood at night. Take in the atmosphere, and make sure it’s one where you could comfortably run to the local supermarket at 10:30pm and pick up toilet paper.

4. Roommates. Living on minimum wage requires that you find one or two roommates to help split the rent. The more the better! Get together with your more responsible friends, so at least you’re living with people whose company you enjoy. There are lots of “roommate wanted” forums and message boards for you to browse on the internet, but always bring a responsible adult with you before meeting a stranger. Please. Bring your mom if you have too.

Food

1. Low-spoon food. I created this post a few months ago which offers lots of suggestions about cooking and shopping on a budget.

2. Online recipes. Here are some of my favorite online Tumblr cookbook resources.

- College Student Cookbook. Click here.

- Meals On The Go. Click here. (Not a cookbook, but super helpful)

- Broke College Kid Masterpost. Click here.

- Cooking on A Bootstrap. Click here.

- Good and Cheap. Click here.

- Budget Bytes. Click here.

3. I also regularly update my cooking on a budget tag.

Misc Expenses

1. Gas. Shop around and find the cheapest gas in your area. Avoid gas stations next to colleges, highways, and in touristy areas. Look into getting as gas rewards card from your favorite supermarket. I get 10 cents off a gallon with Stop & Shop every time I do a big shop.

2. Dollar store. Get to know your local dollar and bargain stores. You can buy everything from pots and pans to bed sheets there. These stores often sell bulk ramen for $1 and large cans of crushed tomatoes for 75 cents. That’s enough food for you to live off of for several days. When shopping, I make three grocery store stops to ensure that I spend the least amount possible on my pantry needs. I go Dollar Store, Stop and Shop, and then to my local organic grocery store. I’m going to make a list of things that I buy at Dollar Stores and things that I don’t buy at Dollar Stores soon!

3. Cable. We are living in the digital age- you don’t need cable television. Use Netflix or Hulu or whatever. It will save you tons of $$.

4. Internet. As far as internet speed goes, if you’re living with roommates you will probably need a higher speed. Living by yourself, choose a lower one. Most internet companies offer large discounts to new subscribers. These typically only last a year, but will save you serious money. Make sure to take note of when this discount expires, and contact the company before it does. If you don’t, they’ll begin charging you the full amount without notice.

5. Verizon. I just want to take a moment to talk about how much I love Verizon because they have literally saved me so much money in the three years I’ve been with them. After you sign a contract with a new internet company, they charge you a bunch of ridiculous fees like “activation fees” and “installation fees”. I called Verizon and was like “I’m a poor college student, I can’t afford this” and they were like “don’t worry, we’ll waive the fee”. I signed a two year contract with them that saved me $80 on a high-speed internet bill per month (my price being only 50.99 a month). After the contract expired I call them and they put me on a month to month, keeping the price absolutely the same. TLDR- get Verizon if you can.

6. Utility. Get on a monthly budget with whatever utility company services your new apartment. Although it may seem like the cheaper option, paying the actual amount of electricity you spend per month is the more expensive. It’s also unpredictable, and a minimum wage budget won’t allow for it. See this for more info.

7. Amazon. I buy a lot of my beauty, cleaning, and cat products online. Amazon offers Prime shipping free for a year with a student email address, and then offers it at a greatly reduced price after the year. If you are a student, snap up that free deal ASAP. If it’s in your budget, I’d greatly recommend investing in Amazon Prime.

8. Saving money. It’s so important to attempt to break way from the “paycheck to paycheck” vicious cycle. Living this way does not allow for emergency expense money, and trust me, sometime soon you will need emergency expense money. Your cat might get sick or your car may die, whatever it is, it’s always smart to have at least $500 squirreled away. I’m gonna level with you, things have been tight for my budget and I haven’t been able to save anything for the past three months. But this month I will!

Example Budgets

Full Time

Working with the $7.25/hr and 40hr/week model, here’s an example budget for living on minimum wage. That’s $1,160 a month without taxes.

Housing: Let’s say you’re sharing an apartment with two close friends, the rent being $1,500 without any amenities. That rent split three ways is $500 each.

Gas I commute twenty minutes every day, and I drop about $20-$25 a week on gas. That’s $100 on gas a month.

Food: I do one big shopping a month with my boyfriend. We drop around $180 and that’s including toiletries and soap and stuff. So maybe you’ll spend about $100 a month on all your shopping needs.

Cable/internet: Hopefully you took my advice and skipped cable. Let’s say you’re paying around $50 per month for internet. Split three ways that’s $17 each.

Laundry: Hopefully you’re not like me and are only spending around $20 on laundry per month.

Random expenses: Because there always are some. Especially when you have cats. Let’s just tack on another $100.

With everything added up, you still have around $290 left before taxes! That money can go into a savings account, and after several months, you’ll have that $500 worth of emergency money saved.

Part Time

Working with the $7.25/hr and 25hr/week model, here’s an example budget for living on minimum wage. That’s $725 without taxes.

Housing: In this case, you need to look for apartments in the $800-900 range. In my area, one bedroom apartments go for around $1000, so you may need to get creative with your roommate (I don’t think you could have more than one roommate in this situation). Buy dividers to split the bedroom or studio in half! Let’s say your rent is $850 with nothing included, that’s $425 each.

Gas You’re still looking at a large gas bill per month, so it may be more inexpensive to ride a bike or use public transportation. Let’s say you use public transportation, and spend around $50 a month on that. Or maybe you and your roommate can split gas expenses and share a car?

Food: Pinch those pennies! Use some of those budget cookbooks I linked above to help you cook healthy and delicious meals for under $4 each. See if you can only spend $80 a month on groceries.

Cable/internet: Hopefully you took my advice and skipped cable. Let’s say you’re paying around $50 per month for internet. Split two ways is $25 each.

Laundry: Hopefully you’re not like me and are only spending around $20 on laundry per month.

Random expenses: Because there always are some. Let’s just tack on another $100.

That leaves you $25 to put in your bank account, if that. This is a paycheck to paycheck situation, and you will probably need to get another source of income to feel secure. But you can still do it!

It was a very nice and very productive day. The weather was beautiful. I actually slept okay. I got a lot done. And I just want another auction for a new Furby. So things are going great.

I wasn't thrilled to wake up this morning but I did fall asleep at a reasonable time last night. So when my alarm went off I really just didn't want to get out of bed because I was cold. But I did and I went and got dressed and I felt good. I was a little annoyed to find I without peanut butter. Well almost out of peanut butter. So I can only make the one sandwich bring with me. But I packed a lot of snacks and fence sweet pea and make sure my backpack I had everything I needed for the day.

I brought my tablet my keyboard. I make sure I have chargers for everything. I have my new water bottle. And I was out the door by 8:40. Right on time.

I got down to the harbor and parked my bike. Frank was Chief today on steel side. And we only have the two sites open. Constellation and torsk. So I would be on the sub all day. It was weird though because we didn't have to do anything at Taney. We just clocked in. And then Frank said he was just going to leave me alone and go do something until 9:45 when he would meet me over at the submarine. So I was like okay. And I sat there for a few minutes. And then I decided I would go get breakfast at 7-Eleven.

I walked over there and got a soda and a sandwich. Can I watch back to the submarine and sat on a bench and ate my breakfast it was nice. I talked to a couple people. Told them fun facts about the outside of the sub. And then Frank came and we opened up the ship.

I spent the morning working on my lesson plans. They're basically all done now. There's a couple things I have to go back and add before I would send them to Tiffany but I feel pretty pleased. The one video when I'm still worried about butt I'm going to hold off on that until I know I have a good assistant or co-teacher. But I feel very accomplished in that was cool.

We didn't have anyone come in until almost 11:00. So I had lots of time to myself. I listen to some podcasts and enjoyed my free time just chilling. And we did have a good amount of guests today. At 140 by the end of the day. But I have enough time in between those guests to just talk to people and text James and helped us figure out the dates for photo strips that she had. It was good.

Because the two sites are the only ones open they also don't have lunch relief over constellation. So Frank went over to give them a break and came back for me afterwards. That was on request though because I wanted to have a break later in the day. I ended up just going down to the bunks and resting my eyes for a half an hour. I think I scared a couple people. But whatever they got an authentic experience.

The rest of the afternoon was nice. Talk to people. Let a lot of people just come up on the deck to take pictures. Tried to drum up some good feelings about ships. I watch some videos and just have a nice time. It was just a really beautiful day.

I did pocket dial my boss Tiffany over at Wildwood. I had my Bluetooth headphones on but not plugged in my ears and I pocket dialed her and apparently she heard my entire torsk intro speech. So now she knows all about the submarine. So that was both hilarious and embarrassing.

F430 friend came back and we closed down the ship. There was one guy in a family still in there. The family stroller had rolled into the harbor and a woman actually jumped in after it. Which was crazy. But there's like a log there that she stood on it so she didn't get wet. But it was really nice of her she didn't have to do that.

I left and went home. Forgot to clock out. But whatever. I backed up to the grocery store and got some stuff for dinner tonight and for breakfast tomorrow until this week. Just a couple things. Headed home and it was nice to be back here.

I love the heat on. It was on auto thankfully but I hate doing that. At least it was comfy in here when I got home. A little too comfy! But that was fine. I fed sleepy and had dinner. I made a ricotta Pizza on naan. Then I made a milkshake and wouldn't took a bath. I vaguely redyed my hair. And I've just basically been hanging out with sweetpea and watching my bids on eBay all night. Just being restful. I painted my toenails. I got angry for a little while cuz I can't find the charger for my toothbrush. But I found it and everything's fine. I think I'm going to drink some water and go to sleep early. I'm hoping to wake up at 8 tomorrow. Have breakfast. Sleep for another hour. And get to work around noon so I can hang as many pieces as possible for the art show.

I hope you all sleep good tonight. Hope you're all the perfect temperature and are very comfortable. Whatever that means for you. Goodnight
