National Enquirer, October 26
You can buy a copy of this issue for your very own at my eBay store: https://www.ebay.com/str/bradentonbooks
Cover Story: Death Mysteries -- Whitney Houston autopsy cover-up; Kenny Rogers’ body is missing 
Tumblr media
Page 2: Reba McEntire’s new romance with Rex Linn convinced Kelly Clarkson she needed to walk away from her unhappy marriage -- while Reba’s love life was heating up Kelly’s relationship with husband Brandon Blackstock who is Reba’s former stepson was hitting the rocks and Kelly remained very close with Reba and Reba would tell her how happy Rex had made her
Page 3: Control freak Tom Cruise is a basket case after he couldn’t charm Cher into leaving their steamy fling out of her upcoming memoir and the image-conscious actor was so panicky over Cher spilling their sexy secrets that he personally called her -- they had a strong physical attraction when they met at a White House event back in the ‘80s and eventually they hooked up and it was very hot and very intense and over in a matter of weeks but it left a nice impression on Cher so she only has good things to say about their relationship but what happened between them could prove very embarrassing if it got out and Tom doesn’t want that to happen -- unfortunately for Tom Cher wouldn’t say anything about what she intends to write and wouldn’t promise to leave Tom out and that’s made Tom even more paranoid and he’s wondering if he’s going to have to take legal action
Page 4: Kanye West is keeping a secret divorce diary to use against wife Kim Kardashian and its potential dishy dirt has her famous family quaking in their boots -- Kanye’s convinced Kim’s about the kick him to the curb and is putting together collateral to crush her and her family is the couple spirals into a $2.2 billion divorce, Jennifer Garner at 48 is flaunting her best body ever and her motivation is to compete with ex-husband Ben Affleck’s 32-year-old girlfriend Ana de Armas because Jen was tired of hearing how Ben’s fallen head over heels for Ana and wanted to remind him what he’s missing -- Jen’s always been very confident of her looks but she decided to step out of mom mode to remind everyone how hot she still is 
Page 5: Devastated Lisa Marie Presley has been relying on an old pal Smashing Pumpkins rocker Billy Corgan to repair her shattered life in the wake of the suicide of her son -- Lisa Marie and Billy were spotted together at Graceland not long ago and he’s been a huge source of support for her -- though they were rumored to have had a romance in 2018 Billy’s fully committed to his baby mama fashion designer Chloe Mendel and Lisa Marie would like nothing better for them to make beautiful music again but she knows he’s taken and she needs his friendship more than ever. 
Page 6: Ambitious anchor Gayle King is calling the shots at CBS This Morning after executive producer Diana Miller quit in the latest backstage shake-up; there was tension between Gayle and Diana and now Diana is gone -- it’s like the show gave Gayle the keys to the car and even if she runs it into a ditch the network gives her more power -- Gayle also clashed with former co-host Norah O’Donnell who successfully snagged the anchor chair at CBS Evening News but Norah hasn’t wowed in the ratings and it’s a matter of time before Gayle gets the coveted job 
Page 7: The mystery over the fate of country great Kenny Rogers’ body has left his own family members in the dark -- sources close to the singer said he’d been cremated while others charged his body is still on ice and Kenny’s body is missing as far as most people are concerned and there’s no place fans can go and pay their respects -- it’s most likely he’s been cremated and the ashes have yet to be scattered but there have also been whispers in certain circles that he could have been cryogenically frozen to preserve his body for a later date, many of Hollywood’s biggest names are abandoning Tinseltown to escape the COVID-19 pandemic and a collapsing entertainment industry -- Julia Roberts hightailing it to San Francisco and Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson getting citizenship in Greece and Pierce Brosnan put his Malibu mansion on the market and Jim Cameron is peddling his prized L.A. compound
Page 8: Frustrated Jon Stewart’s plans to reinvent himself as the next Steven Spielberg have flopped and he’s pretty unhappy about it and he wants to be viewed as a respected serious filmmaker but he’s hit more roadblocks than he ever saw as a comedian or talk show host -- he was left fuming when Irresistible his latest outing as a director was met by mediocre reviews and limited to pay-per-view and streaming services last summer even with box office draw and best buddy Steve Carell in the cast -- he could snap his fingers and get any TV project but he’s setting his sights much higher and he’s walked away from millions of dollars to go back to TV because he wants to prove he is a creative force in the film industry 
Page 9: Frustrated Brad Pitt is threatening to have ex Angelina Jolie dragged to jail if she refuses to end her harassment campaign against him and hash out a divorce and custody agreement and he’s had it with Angie’s intimidation tactics and is fed up with being labeled a bad dad and it’s no exaggeration to say Brad’s scared of Angie and he wants professional witnesses around them at all times when he attempts to see their children but for Brad though it would be the ultimate revenge to see Angie led away in handcuffs, Nashville legend Travis Tritt is trying to keep up with country music’s up-and-comers by getting a lift from plastic surgery and recent photos show the 57-year-old almost unrecognizable with a line-free face and skin as tight as a drum -- Travis is getting ready to put out his first album of new music in more than ten years and it’s hard to blame the guy when he’s completing against singers 30 years younger 
Page 10: Hot Shots -- Julia Garner got a touch-up on the Staten Island set of Inventing Anna, Reverend Run visited a mural of slain Run-DMC bandmate Jam Master Jay in NYC’s Hollis Queens, Vanessa Paradis and daughter Lily-Rose Depp in Paris
Page 11: Lovestruck Chrissy Metz is already talking marriage and babies with newly unveiled beau Bradley Collins but she has a history of falling for guys fast which has previously been a recipe for heartbreak and while nobody’s doubting Bradley’s intentions there’s a lot of confusion about why they kept their romance totally hidden until now, the devastating fire that tore through Rachael Ray’s home has made her reassess her life and she and husband John Cusimano are now considering adopting a baby -- losing so many of their possessions in the fire made them realize they weren’t all that important anyway so they bulldozed the house and are rebuilding and the word is they’ll add a nursery
Page 12: Straight Shuter -- Danny Trejo cuddled a rescue pup (picture), Lizzo is the first plus-sized Black woman to ever grace the cover of Vogue but pulling off the shoot was a challenge with most designers unable to find clothes that fit her, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are very private and they’re livid with Lance Bass after he confirmed that they had another baby, when he was NBC’s biggest star Matt Lauer conducted almost every high-profile interview and now editors and doing a lot of cropping and zooming to preserve archived footage while removing Matt 
Page 14: Crime 
Page 15: Rock guitar god Eddie Van Halen who tragically died after a brave battle with cancer wanted to be buried with one of his Frankenstrat guitars that he created to define his signature sound -- Eddie felt like he owed his whole life to that instrument and he loved that thing as much as his family, Perez Hilton dished he kissed notorious skirt-chaser John Mayer in a New York nightclub and the lip-lock happened right in front of John’s then girlfriend Jessica Simpson who didn’t seem to know whether she was incredibly embarrassed or really turned on
Page 16: Cover Story -- explosive new autopsy evidence proves superstar Whitney Houston didn’t have to die -- eight years after she passed mysteries about her final moments and blatant blunders at the death scene point to murder and a shocking coverup and now investigators are demanding a new probe into the 2012 tragedy in a Los Angeles hotel bathroom and for Whitney’s body to be exhumed -- a private eye believes the autopsy proves Whitney was murdered but the case was never pursued because she was dismissed as a druggie and she was marginalized by law enforcement as a dead drug user 
Page 18: American Life
Page 19: Horror movie legend John Saxon’s family started battling over his fortune even before he passed on July 25 -- in legal papers filed in May his son Antonio claimed the actor’s third wife Gloria Martel had been pocketing money against John’s wishes, Netflix faces criminal charges in Texas over the controversial film Cuties -- according to court documents a Tyler County grand jury indicted Netflix claiming it knowingly promoted visual material that depicts the lewd exhibition of the private parts of a clothed or partially clothed child younger than 18 -- Netflix said in a statement that Cuties is a social commentary about the sexualization of young children and this charge is without merit 
Page 20: Suzanne Somers recently cheated death when she and husband Alan Hamel fell down a flight of stairs at their Palm Springs home and although Alan wasn’t seriously injured the terrifying spill left Suzanne in agony with two displaced vertebrae and forced her to undergo delicate neck surgery but she said the surgery went off without a hitch and promised she is on the mend, Hollywood Hookups -- Sofia Richie has unfollowed Scott Disick on Instagram, Zac Efron hopes to marry Vanessa Valladares, Sharon Stone and Mindy Kaling are both on the market 
Page 21: Twelve years after she was placed under conservatorship Britney Spears remains unable to sign her own name on official documents -- Britney recently made moves asking to allow a different financial group to step in and help run her life as well as gain more freedom but lawyer Andrew Wallet said Britney to this day does not have the capacity to sign documents and make decisions for herself and she is susceptible to undue influences, the audience for the Saturday Night Live season premiere came away with more than just a few yuks they also received $150 because to get around New York State pandemic guidelines SNL gave each guest a parting gift of $150 paychecks as if they were employees, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may soon have a new neighbor in heavy metal maniac Tommy Lee -- the drummer was recently spotted checking out a $2.3 million three-acre plot next to the rogue royals’ $14 million home in Montecito and he was obviously pumped about living there but building the tattooed rocker’s home would mean tons of truck traffic and hopefully Harry and Meghan don’t get upset with the building work he’s planning 
Page 22: ABC is reeling from a barrage of allegations from employees and on-air talent who’ve blasted it as a toxic and racist working environment -- the network which is owned by the family-friendly Walt Disney Corporation was rocked when Sunny Hostin the popular co-host of The View accused company executives of institutional and personal racism in her memoir and in later interviews about the book

Survey #298
“i don’t like what i am becoming  /  wish i could just feel something”
Do you have sensitive skin? Very. Do you wear necklaces or earrings more? Just my tragus piercing, really. I only ever wear a necklace sometimes if I'm taking a "nice" picture. Rings or bracelets? I currently don't wear any bracelets, but I do always have one ring on. How many toilets are in your house? Two. Is your current crush younger than you? By just a couple years.

Do you know the first five books of the Bible in order? No. Do you have a pet fish? Nah, they're not my thing. Do you believe being gay is a choice or a "disorder"? Neither; I believe it's a genetic mutation. It defies biology and the very motive for life, but I always say that a mutation does not, in any way, equate to "wrong." I am extremely adamantly pro-gay rights and bisexual myself, so I can't shit-talk it. What are some of your favourite sounds? Crunching leaves, rain gently tapping on windows, windchimes, birdsong... mainly nature sounds. There are others, I'm just blanking right now. Are you a warm weather or cold weather person? Cold, 100%. What time do you wake up? What for? This spans over a massive gap, honestly... I can wake up as early as 5 or as late as 9:30. Most often, it's pretty early, and I call that my "trial" of being awake, lol... because I will almost without fail go back to sleep for a couple more hours. Hell, that happens even if I sleep on the later side. Do you ever listen to music to fall asleep to? I used to do that in middle and maybe some of high school, I think; I'd fall asleep with my iPod on and earbuds in. I haven't done that in a very long time, though.

I wasn't suicidal, but still kinda wanted to die lmao. Do you still watch Disney channel? No. How do you like your eggs? I only enjoy them scrambled, and preferably with cheese. What’s your all-time favorite song? "False Flags" by Massive Attack. If you could be any TV character, who would you be and why? Idk, I don't watch TV enough. Maybe Donna from That '70s Show. Very strong and independent, outspoken, and not to mention she has great taste. I find her to be a good female character to look up to. Do you ever come up with really good ideas for stories or movies? Do you do anything with them? Yeah; I'll try to integrate them into RP characters and plots. What sort of things do you post on your Tumblr? Vintage photos, screen caps, girly things? It's a Markiplier cesspit lmao. Sometimes I'll reblog shit I find funny. I've been very inactive on it, though. Have you ever had a dream that you couldn’t shake, even for days after you woke up? Oh yes. When was the last time you felt like a nuisance, or unwanted? Recently, I'm sure. When was the last time your dreams were crushed, or at least hindered? I dunno. How’s school going? I'm not in school. Are you angry at anyone right now? Myself.

I was really, really tired, though. Can you name the last time you felt happy? Probably when Sara and I talk-talked for the first time in a while.

What was the reason behind doing so? Once at PetSmart when they had dogs to adopt out, which was for school volunteer hours. I spent time with them, giving them attention and taking them outside. I also had two other animal-related volunteer days, but each was only a few hours because my fucking weak-ass body couldn't handle them. Have you ever been truly obsessed with something? What was it and how did you come to feel that way? I have an incredibly obsessive personality; I could probably name near on a dozen or so things I've been genuinely obsessed with.

Do you consider “home” to be the place you were born, or is it somewhere you create for yourself?

Reviews on the GOT Finale
I remember watching the show at the age of 13 and immediately falling in love with its uniqueness, its elaborate pattern in music, costumes and visuals.
I cannot praise the actors, executive producers and crew enough for their tremendous effort and their many sleepless nights to bring this epic series to a close.
I pray to all The Seven that the blessings and fortune in this world will befall them. That the actors that we have come to idolize will forge ahead in their career and dominate in the entertainment field.
Tumblr media
Down to business on the Finale.
The episode rewards us will characters we haven't seen in a long while like Edmure Tully, Robin Arryn and a prince of Dorne.
After the horrors of the last episode, everyone seems to be recovering fast and that is very progressive.
We saw a couple of our favourite characters smiling and feeling very elevated with their new status.
On the matter of each character ending, personally I choose to not wholly accept it because I'd like to think its D&D's ending.
I could be wrong. GRRM may want this ending too, who knows?
For TV show fans, I think the entire episode is for us to reforge, because at this point everything up to episode five becomes fairly obvious and predictable.
Okay, now I wanna get brutal.
I think the episode is hilarious, I couldn't take anything seriously. From start to finish, everything that happens is in denial of logic and buildup.
Dany, the newly created Stalin/Hitler gives a speech in two different languages to an army of foreigners about liberation absent thought of the liberated being in attendance.
Then, Greyworm is elevated.
Jon is tired of it all.
Beneath the castle, Tyrion finds his dead siblings and then he gives the best teary performance in the entire season. His heart is immediately filled with disgust for Dany. So he decides to publicly throw away his hand of queen pin. Then, he is immediately arrested.
Arya appears out of nowhere, to be beside Jon to remind him what he must do.
Then, there's the unnecessarily long scene of Tyrion and Jon beating about the bush. Both of them ridiculously forgetting the option of banishment since Jon was conflicted over killing the love of his life.
Then, Dany proceeds to become possessed by an unscrupulous entity. Because she kinda forgot that she is MOTHER OF DRAGONS first before anything. She decides to pitch a warped idea of liberation that involves more killing; killing more children and the innocent.
And because there's this trojan virus in her system, she refuses to walk among the streets as she usually does when she conquers a city.
She refuses to see the horror Jon was describing to her because she's afraid of dead bodies maybe.
Knowing fully well Jon has been rejecting her affections, she decides to try again ignoring the fact that Jon is armed. So he stabs her.
Dany couldn't even get her final words out before she gave up the ghost.
Drogon, senses his mother's end proceeds to find her corpse, frighten Jon, burn the Iron Throne and then fly away with her body for unknown reasons.
I know, lots of people weren't convinced or open to the idea of their relationship because it was either rushed or because of their blood ties, but by the gods did they deserved to bear the same fate.
If one lives, the other lives. If one dies, the other dies. Because, these two are the glutinous substance of the entire story.
They were like each other's poison, you know.
Anyways, as a Jonerys shipper I had hoped that Jon would suggest a life of exile together. But Nah! That would be too sweet of an ending right?
Then the Dragon Pit meeting was a piss poor attempt at amusement. Personally, I wasn't amused. What about you?
Edmure's still an idiot, Robin is still ignorant, Davos is still a mediator. Basically, everyone is as themselves except Bran.
When Tyrion offers him the kingship role, Bran smiles for the first time in three or four seasons. And that makes me think that Bran has some sinister plot going on.
Please watch Ideas of Ice and Fire's Ep. Review for more.
Sansa doesn't want to be part of the patriarchy so she whips up a funny reason for independence. Long live the Queen in the North!
Hurrah!
I'm a Sansa fan too but you do realize what she's done. Her actions further alienates The North from Westeros. If its a separate kingdom like Bran's six kingdoms, what is the modus operandi of appointing the next leader?
Is it the same as the six united kingdoms?
If not, The North has just created a future problem of succession because I can imagine that Sansa will want to keep The North in the Stark family.
Please explain to me, Sansa staunch stans, how different is this from what Dany initially had in mind before her descent to madness?
Away from that now, we have Jon's departure.
The regency was built by the Targaryens, so the entire kingdom decides to disregard that and send Jon, the only surviving member of House Targaryen to the wall to live out his days as a bachelor.
I know Jon's family name is a curse, but hells why would you do that to a war hero, a man loved by thousands?
By the way, who the hell is Grey worm to refuse the Lords of Westeros Jon's freedom?
Anyways, one good thing out of all these misery is that Jon gets to fly his hair again and that's really cute. Very symbolic of his fall from grace to grass.
Personally, I wasn't moved by Sansa's farewell to Jon because it is what she's wants all along, to not be contested.
His moment with Arya was beautiful and very convincing. As for Bran, I'm surprised that they didn't even hug.
Jon kneels because he is always the eager follower, as if leadership is some kind of disease.
Back to Square One
Jon goes right back to where he bloody started, with the wildlings.
He is reunited with Ghost and that's super cute.
Then, he and the wildlings decide to journey beyond the wall because by nature the wildlings are roamers.
The Council of Clowns.
Tyrion is the hand again for the 3rd time. He acts out that joke he used to when his father and sister were alive, with sitting arrangements. It wasn't funny in my opinion.
Then to add salt to the injury, we have Bronn as the Lord of HighGarden, Warden of the Reach and Master of Coin. I wonder whose CV he tended, to win himself these positions.
Davos is master of ships. Brienne is the Lady of the Kings guard and Samwell Tarly is the Grand Maester despite the fact that he is a drop-out.
The rules of The Citadel still apply about being unmarried you know, so Gilly's baby will be born a bastard until legitimized by Bran the Broken.
And lastly, Gilly remains his paramour.
Podrick is a member of the Kings Guard because he has mortgaged his co*k to Brienne and the realm, unless the rules have changed concerning kings guard celibacy.
Davos and Bronn bicker a little bit. It kinda parallels Varys and LF.
So, there are other people missing from the council, so Tyrion suggests he has candidates already.
It would be interesting to know who they are because Tyrion has repeatedly said he is an "excellent judge of character."
Bran and Drogon
The new King Bran is worried sick for Drogon and asks about his whereabouts because he wants to adopt him?(maybe).
The Unsullied and The Dothraki
Grey worm decides to take the entire unsullied army to Naath for suicidal reasons. Maybe he hasn't heard of the butterfly sickness.
Then, the Dothraki remain because they are now a peace loving bunch and don't want to see Vaes Dothrak.
Arya
What can I say? At least she explores on her own ship, captaining her own crew. Its a great ending then?
All in All
Everyone in Westeros that hasn't sacrificed as much Jon and Daenerys or even faced one tenth of the emotional struggles, tribulations and hardships gets a good life.
Wow! What a perfect ending!

For a change. I love Internet people for never running out of survey ideas.
Just say what you think of (doesn't have to be one-word answers) when I mention these. Quick, simple, just for fun. Curtain: I remember a story JM told us of when he nearly burned his house down when he was younger - he was flying paper airplanes but not without lighting the tips on fire. One of the planes landed on the curtain and I think it burned that particular room pretty bad or something. Door: I have a door to my right at the moment. It’s brown and I know my dog is waiting outside because I can hear his paws. Shoe: We went shoe hunting yesterday for Joacky, because he wanted a pair of the Nike Cortez. It’s widely popular in the PH right now so even though we visited like 7 shoe stores yesterday, we weren’t able to find one in the color that he likes. Pants: I finally got a pair of mom jeans yesterday and I can’t wait to wear it for school. I’m tired of wearing the same bottoms. Wig: I attended a workshop a few months ago where the speaker disclosed that she has leukemia, and she took off the wig she had been wearing the whole time to show us her head. I also remember the RuPaul Stans part of Twitter because they say ‘wig’ all the time...
Makeup: Kate made me her subject last Thursday and she played with my face and put makeup on it. Ended up feeling really pretty because she did a pretty awesome job. Instagram: I snubbed Instagram for the longest time but thought that a ‘one-pic-for-every-day-of-the-year’ dump account wouldn’t hurt, so I made one of those for 2019. My photography skills are absolutely nowhere to be found, and my gallery is super haphazard, but I really want to make an effort to store memories this year. YouTube: Hmm first thing I thought of was PewDiePie. I subscribed to the dude when he had like 60,000 subscribers eight years ago and only had a couple of Amnesia montages up. I always feel like a proud momma/early bird whenever I remember how far and how big he’s gotten since. Life: Exhaustion, mainly. It’s gonna start snowballing by next year when I graduate. It’ll be nonstop from there - facing the prospect of coming out to my parents, graduating, getting a job, getting my first credit card, moving out, paying bills...it’s all very exhausting, exhilarating, exciting, and overwhelming to think about. Chili: Gabie and I had Japanese for early dinner last week, and I was a little weirded out by the restaurant because each seat had a red chili pepper on the placemat? I’m talking every damn seat in the place??? Idk if it’s some sort of good luck charm for the owners but it made things very slightly unsettling hahaha. Cherry: There was a WWE Diva named Cherry like ten years ago who had the gimmick of a 50′s chick, I think...I was never quite sure what her character was supposed to be, but she had roller-skates every time she went to the ring and would sometimes wear outfits with polka dots so I thought she was pretty cute.   Neil: Armstrong. Haha I was going through Reddit awhile ago when I saw a video of Buzz Aldrin punch a dude who went up to him and said that the moon landing was a hoax. Not exactly Neil Armstrong but still a good story. Drive: I like watching car chases. It’s almost...therapeutic when the suspect crashes or loses control of his car and finally gets caught. Murder: I never got into How To Get Away With Murder. It’s too fast-paced for my life. I feel like I’m the only person who doesn’t understand legal concepts because so many people are able to catch up with this show even if Viola Davis speaks a thousand words a minute and they’re all really deep words??? Idk HAHAHA. I watched like two episodes and felt super dumb after. Ice cream: OMG I hate a la mode desserts. I’d eat anything, but I wouldn’t eat two separate things with different textures. Get your ice cream away from my brownie. Water: I can’t wait to go back to the beach. Hard: Hammer? It was the first image to pop up in my head. Anne: Harry Styles’ mom is named Anne hahaha the Directioner in me jumped out, sorry not sorry. Cow: There’s this video that went viral a few months ago of a girl who was playing the accordion; all of a sudden this adorable herd of like 15 cows come running up to her and just intently watch the kid. Wholesome af. Frog: Frog legs are served in some Philippine provinces. Tastes like chicken. Cheese: My lactose intolerant ass will grate half a block of cheese (exaggeration, but you get the point) for my spaghetti. That’s the only way to enjoy pasta. Bowl: Can’t really think of anything except that bowl cuts look so cute on babies hahaha. Television: Is something I never use nowadays unless I’m staying over at a hotel. Other than that, I cannot tell you the last time I held a TV remote control to change the channel or something. Skull: There’s an episode of Friends where Phoebe brings home a skull and nonchalantly sets it on the table where Monica, Rachel, and Chandler were hanging out. Chandler goes, “Pheebs...skull?” Phoebe says, “Yeah, it’s my mom’s,” and Rachel shrieks until Phoebe clarifies that her mom owned the skull, and that the skull wasn’t of her mom. Underrated segment. Rachel’s mini-meltdown was hilarious. Seasons: I had to watch Rent for film class several months ago. Terrible movie. Cemented my dislike for musicals. This is what I remembered because afaik this is the musical that has the minutes song. Language: I can speak two and can understand some archaic/modern Spanish because they conquered us for 300 years and subsequently ruined my country. Trump: McDonald’s. An international embarrassment. Chocolate: We found this AMAZING Chocnut spread at the mall yesterday. I had my initial doubts - I thought it was gonna taste like a cheap Nutella rip-off. But it tastes exactly like Chocnut, just in the most perfect spread-y form. I plan to finish the entire jar just with a spoon. Stove: I’m terribly afraid of using any and every kitchen equipment because I have a big fear of setting the house on fire. I only ever use the stove when I’m deathly hungry and I have to make something by myself. Toy: My family recently went to a kid’s birthday party that had giveaway bags with toys inside, but seeing as we’re all teenagers now who had no use for it, it was earning dust in the house. Now, the Philippines is abound with street children so when we went out yesterday, my mom gave the bag to a couple of kids who were knocking on our car. I know I’m not supposed to romanticize the situation, but they had the biggest smiles when they realized what they got and I saw them playing merrily at the side of the street and even invited some other kids to join in. Again, not glamorizing it - I’m just happy they were happy. Video: I could never run out of things to watch on YouTube. It’s one of my favorite websites, especially when bouts of depression have to happen. Kiss: It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this? It was only a kiss, IT WAS ONLY A KISS. Glass: The glass section of department stores always creeped me out. One wrong move and you can knock a whole shelf down, and the ‘You break it you pay for it’ signs all over the area don’t help at all. Light: Light and queen come together in this survey and all I remember is Lightning McQueen. Queen: ^ Moon: Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Moon river, wider than a mile, I’m crossing you in style some day.  Blue: My organization’s color is blue, so I have a soft spot for blue. Cream: I like soups that are creamy. I say this because my sister had ramen yesterday and it was so oily and salty and fatty and creamy and ugh I loved it. Dead: The Misfits. They’re more horror than death, but still. Purple: My great-grandma loved the color purple and I remember when her house used to be peppered in purple stuff. All her dresses were purple. I’m fairly sure it was the reason why it was my favorite color as a kid. Lace: Underwear, hahaha. Cardboard: Gabie was munching on sunflower seeds when I picked her up last week. I’ve never tried those, so I asked for some and I said it tasted like cardboard. I’ve never eaten cardboard but I would imagine that that’s what it tastes like. Elephant: Majestic. Deserves to be saved and properly cared for. Harry: One of my fave members of the royal family. He’s so precious. Leather: Is bad. Paisley: Isn’t there a country singer with this name? Italy: Pasta and stuff. Joey Tribbiani. Immature: I saw the gun girl Kaitlin-something on Twitter because she got viral again for a dumb-ass tweet she made. She posted pics of herself in the snow and tweeted “Look at all this global warming,” like seriously America??? Wtf do they teach y’all in your schools?????? Crime: Raisins in cookies. Angel: I had a friend named Angel - talked about her a lot in old surveys. She migrated to Canada when we were 12 and I haven’t seen her since. We do follow each other on Twitter but all she tweets about is K-pop so I had to put her on mute. Great memories with her. Boil: When I read this tweet aloud in my head, what I did think of was Charles Boyle from B99. Key: Key lime pie. Never tried it, but I’m always down to try anything. Sacrifice: The Catholic schoolgirl in me remembers the crucifixion because textbooks and teachers would overuse the phrase, “Jesus sacrificed his life for our sins” or “God sacrificed his son to save the world,” and all those cheesy lines. It’s as though the Bible’s favorite word is ‘sacrifice.’ Larry: Punk and AJ’s dog is named Larry Talbot. Dog: ^ Psychology: I took one psych elective last semester, but the prof was average at best so it didn’t really win over the course as a whole to me. Psychology was one of my ‘what-if’ courses so at the start, I was excited about taking it - but the class that I had was just so boring and the prof gave tests that were way too hard for otherwise fairly easy topics, so I quickly ran out of enthusiasm for the class. Rag: I hate touching rags. Especially wet ones UGH. Sun: Hate it, unless I’m at the beach. Lips: My friends dragged me to the makeup section of the department store last week and there were rows upon rows of lipstick testers. As someone who’s never purposely browsed for makeup, I ended up swatching like 20 shades on my wrist and looked like a five year old who doodled all over her whole left arm. Cage: The UFC ring, because it looks like a cage. Alarm: I had/have several alarms set on my phone throughout today to tell me to start working on various deliverables. For example, I had an 8 AM alarm to work on my J 196 paper; then from 8:30 AM I had an alarm to compose letters that I needed to write as my org’s secretary; then at around 10 AM, my alarm was for finishing up my readings for Kas 154 (short for kasaysayan, which means history). Official: I have a batchmate from high school who just got engaged...she was honestly one of the weirder ones back then so as much as I didn’t want to judge, it was hard to take it seriously at first, but it’s whatevs. I have no business in her life and I’m happy she’s happy. King: I finished my history readings this morning and there were so many mentions of kings. Lost: That show. The general consensus is that they ended the show crappily, but other than that I know nothing about it. Dating: There was once a dude who joined a dating show. Ended up being a serial killer. I forgot his name though. Balm: I was at a Korean store yesterday and saw an array of lip balms and glosses. I was never much of a makeup girl but the collection they had was just so cute, it made me think if I should start investing in makeup as well hah. Tomato: Ketchup is my second least favorite condiment after mustard. Game: Hmmm I downloaded a bunch of new game apps on my phone because I recently realized that I’m so boring??? and I only have social media on my phone??? I got ten new apps to make my phone more alive haha. Lotion: Is slimy, but smells nice and makes my skin smooth and look better. I got two hand creams for Christmas last year and it was then that I knew I was getting older because I was genuinely excited to try them both out. Expensive: Everything is. Powder: Reminds me of babies. The smell calms me down so well. Cross: I was shopping for clip-on earrings yesterday and there were several designs with crosses on them, which just reminded me of Christianity and it kinda peeved me for like 3 minutes lol. History: My favorite subject. I’ve never been so excited to be dumped on with such a thick stack of readings until this semester. Sex: Haven’t had it in a bit, too busy. Rainbow: We watched a film called Rainbow’s Sunset, which was really promising because it told a story about two men, both very old, and are lovers. In a traditional, conservative, poisonously Catholic country such as the PH, it’s a very bold move to produce a feature film that tackled such a horrible, taboo, horrifying thing (please note the sarcasm/mockery). We didn’t escape the guffaws and the loud ew’s whenever the two leads would kiss, which was sad. 
Anyway that’s not my point and what I really want to say is that the film was ultimately terrible, it was terribly-executed and it portrayed gay men in such a cheesy manner which in the long run, probably contributes to the continuing negative image of LGBT people in the Philippines. Gab, the bigger film buff between the two of us, felt so offended by how bad the movie turned out to be lol. Bay: Bayley, from WWE. She was a huge star like 3 years ago, but I think the bookers ultimately fucked her character up and now she’s stale. I feel so bad. Seth: Seth Rollins, also from WWE. Also very attractive. Pepper: I had okonomiyaki for lunch yesterday and there was like a thicker chunk of pepper that made it to my plate. Didn’t particularly enjoy that bite. Necrophile: Katie Vick. Google it to believe it. Wrestling is fucking dumb. Gravel: Funnily enough I do have a memory for gravel. Akeelah and the Bee was one of my favorite movies growing up; I watched it so many times that I had chunks of dialogue memorized at one point. One of the first scenes had Akeelah joining her school’s spelling bee, and one of the kids spelled grovel as g-r-a-v-e-l. He couldn’t understand why he got it wrong so the judge had to tell him that the word ‘grovel’ actually exists and what it means. Deep: I had a mental picture of the ocean when I read this word, so there’s that. Stephen: Hawking. Bucket: Chum Bucket. Hahaha Spongebob forever. England: Rugby? Grown: I always use the term ‘grown-ass’ haha. Spell: Spelling was one of my favorite activities in grade school and I would always score the highest in spelling exams. Kind of led me to my favorite job of proofreading/copyediting, really. Bark: My dog barked at nothing for five whole minutes a couple of days ago and it was hilarious. I shot two minutes of it. Long: Trees? Fan: Pamaypay, or hand fans in English.
Australia: First things that came to mind were the Sydney Opera House and Vegemite. Iron: Gabie’s nose bled last week. It wouldn’t stop flowing out of her nostrils and it smelled like rust for a good 15 minutes while she was trying to wash all the blood off, so it didn’t exactly help my case as someone who’s squeamish to death at the sight of blood. Melt: Chocolate. Beanie: Too warm for this country’s climate. Wax: Candles. Vigils. Burning your finger. Staying up all night to pray. Catholic school. Disease: Zombies. Resident Evil. Cannibal: The band Cannibal Corpse. Tried to get into them because Punk listened to them but it was too heavy for me. Flight: Airplanes, flights, vacations, away from everyone, nothing to worry about, good food, fighting with my siblings for the window seats. Porn: People be having weird fetishes sometimes. The thumbnails I see on websites...some of y’all crazy. Pot: I thought about how college life is so crazy. People would sell brownies or cookies with weed in them IN SCHOOL, meanwhile I still don’t even know if weed and pot are the same or if they’re two different things ohmygod HAHAHAHA I’m so sheltered wow I’m hopeless?????? Style: Taylor Swift and that subtle shade to Harry. People were shookened five years ago. Floss: Pork floss is really good. Star: There was a local celebrity who recently tweeted a pic, supposedly of a tiny tiny star that was beside the moon at like 5 AM, and she was asking what it was. Someone replied that it was Venus and explained what she just saw for her. Super cool. Nate: I don’t know anyone named Nate. I DID, however, remember the Naked Brothers Band. The older brother is named Nat, so it’s close enough. Soft: Pillows are soft. Orange: Hayley Williams’ hair 11 years ago. Witch: Philippine superstitions and how crazy and obsessive Filipinos can get. My mom, one of the most rational, no-nonsense people I know, scolds me every time I mock witchcraft or what we call ‘kulam’ cos she believes something will happen to me if I do. I’m all for honoring our mythology and traditions but sheesh, not to the obsessive extent. Mound: Ants. Root: Gabie used to watch this show where she shipped two girls named Root and Shaw. Oil: Massages. Hot: Deserts. Disc: Childhood, blowing on it to make it work, double-sided discs for longer movies, if a disc had scratches expect it to die soon. Soil: Plants. Planting trees. Muddy. Ugly: That scene in Spongebo where Patrick tells the story of the ugly barnacle. “Once there was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everyone died. The end,” which didn’t help Spongebob who at the time was feeling super ugly hahahahaha. Sugar: Maroon 5. Also, my grandma used one particular jar for sugar throughout my entire childhood. It’s plastic, it’s clear, and it came with a red-orange lid. I’d often eat sugar on its own so I saw that jar quite a bit and it gives me a sense of nostalgia. I’m not so sure if that’s still the jar being used in the old house. Bone: Ribs :( Been craving for some. Sigh: Air??? I don’t know. Throne: Game of Thrones. I had to watch a 26-minute documentary of a GoT production for my broadcast management class. It’s insanely hard. So much respect to everyone involved in its prod. Calendar: I’m secretary for my org, which means that I always have to update everyone about our calendar of events. Carpet: Fancy. Flesh: The Walking Dead. Cement: Dangerous. Vow: The movie with Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum. One of my guiltier pleasures. Sweet: Desserts. And now I’m hungry.

Second Chances Chapter 17
Tumblr media
Previous Chapters
By the time Thanksgiving had grown closer, Mackenzie was more than ready to go home to Ohio. She had reached out to Sarah’s parents since they decided to wait to have the funeral. A lot of her family was going to be away so they wanted to wait. Thinking of her family, Mackenzie just wanted to go home and see her mom. On the day she was supposed to leave she had her bags packed up and she was ready to go. “Luke, why aren’t your bags packed? We have to leave now if we’re going to make it in time,” she said walking into the bedroom
“I’m not going.” He shrugged and continued to flip through the channels on the TV against the wall.
“Yes you are. Pack your bags.” Mackenzie crossed her arms.
“No, Mac, I’m not going with you.” Luke sighed. “I can’t go with you. Your family probably hates me now, besides you need some alone time with them. Romeo doesn’t know where you are and probably thinks you are dead, which means he is going after me alone. I’m not coming and risking him find out that you are alive and have him try and hurt you. I can’t just disappear, baby,” he reasoned.
“Luke,” she sighed, climbing onto the bed beside him where he was lying. He turned onto his side looking at her.
“Mac, baby-” he began, but she cut him off.
“I need you to be with me,” she said sadly, “After Sarah,” she started, tears filling her eyes again. “I’m not going alone. I can’t be alone.” Her voice, breaking as she tried to hold the tears back. He closed his eyes before sighing and taking her body into his arms before sitting up.
“You won’t be alone,” he whispered.
“You have your mom and Jackson, and didn’t you say that Jackson’s girlfriend had the baby? You have people around you,” he said trying to comfort her.
“It’s not the same,” she sighed sadly. She paused for a moment. “Jackson’s probably going to see his family instead. Friends can only do so much.”
“Fine,” he whispered against her forehead. “I’ll come with you, let me pack my bag and we can go okay?” She nodded before he kissed her forehead and moved her back onto the bed before getting up off the bed, and grabbing a black duffel bag from his closet,  filling it with clothes. He was grabbing his suit jacket and shoes when Mackenzie spoke up.
“You don’t have to wear a suit, babe.” Mackenzie smiled softly as she got up and walked over to him.
“I want to look nice for your family.” Luke shrugged. She smiled softly before wrapping her arms around him and burying her face in his chest once more.
***
Half an hour later, Luke grabbed his bag and Mackenzie’s before going down to the garage. Mackenzie followed and grabbed the keys on her way out. She unlocked the car and Luke put their bags in the back. Mackenzie slid into the driver’s seat and started the car. “What the hell are you doing, Mac?”
“I’m driving my favorite car.” She shrugged. Luke chuckled and shook his head and got in.
“I don’t usually let other people drive my car.” Luke looked at her as she backed out of the driveway.
“Well, I’m not other people. I’m your girlfriend, so I get to drive your SUV.” She smiled. “Besides, I don’t think you remember how to get to my parents’ house.”
“That’s not true. I do remember.” Luke chuckled. “I wouldn’t forget that house.” He smiled and turned the radio on. He hummed along to the song playing while Mackenzie drove.
It took roughly 7 hours and 15 minutes to reach Mackenzie’s childhood home, with them stopping and switching drivers twice. “New siding?” Luke asked referring to the white siding that was in place of the old yellow siding he had seen so many times, as Mackenzie parked in the driveway.
“Yeah, Mom was tired of yellow and she thought white would look nicer. She had Jackson change it last year.” Mackenzie got out of the car and grabbed her bag. Luke did the same and followed her up the path to the house. Mackenzie pushed open the door and stepped into the entryway.
“Who’s that?” Georgia called from the kitchen, through the chaos of family visiting.
“It’s me, mom.” Mackenzie smiled and took her shoes off.
“Oh, Mackenzie!” Georgia squealed and came out to the entryway, hugging Mackenzie tightly. “And, who.. oh, you brought Luke. Great…. uh, to see you again.” Georgia sighed, frowning slightly, trying to keep up an act in front of her daughter.
“We’re back together now.” Mackenzie smiled and held Luke’s hand.
“Well, that’s just..” Georgia forced a smile. “Great.”
“Do you need any help in the kitchen, Ma’am?” Luke smiled at her.
“Oh, no. That’s alright, we’re ready to eat now.” Georgia shrugged. “You two can put your things in Mackenzie’s old room. We’ll wait to start eating.” Mackenzie nodded and lead Luke to her room. She set her bag on the bed and turned to Luke.
“I’m sorry if my family seems cold to you tonight. They know about the breakup and how it left me in a bad place.” Mackenzie held Luke’s hands.
“I deserve it. I never should have left you like that.” Luke pressed a kiss to her head and smiled softly. “Come on, let’s go eat.” The pair walked down the stairs and to the dining room. Mackenzie took a seat at the table and Luke next to her.
“So, is this the same Luke that left for no reason and didn’t contact you for two years after he dropped you like a hat?” Mackenzie’s uncle, Sean, asked, sipping his beer. Mackenzie sighed and held Luke’s hand under the table.
“Yes, it’s the same Luke.” She quietly shooed her mom as she offered her some wine. “I’m not feeling the greatest, and wine always makes it worse.”
“So, did he come back because he loved you or because he wanted sex?” Sean crossed his arms.
���Sean, cut it out.” Georgia sighed and sat down, glaring at her brother.
“Luke came back and helped me.” Mackenzie ran her thumb along Luke’s knuckles under the table. “I wasn’t in a safe environment and Luke got me out of it.”
“See!” Carol, Sean’s wife, piped up. “I told you so many times, Mackenzie, that that city was dangerous!”
“He was probably the reason you were in it in the first place.” Sean mumbled. The food was passed around and everyone began eating so they could all avoid the awkward conversation.
“Mackenzie, you didn’t take any stuffing. You love stuffing.” Georgia frowned.
“I don’t know what it is, but I’m feeling a bit sick and the smell of it isn’t helping. I’ll bring some home in a container though,” Mackenzie shrugged and took a bite of her mashed potatoes.
***
After everyone finished eating, everyone went to the family room, as more and more family began to arrive to spend the rest of the night together as a family. Mackenzie’s family were gathered around her as she sat on the couch with her new ‘niece.’ Jackson, her childhood best friend, had shown up after all. Mackenzie sat on the couch with the small baby. Luke had tried to make his way to her, but it seemed like every time he got close another family member would step in front of him and he’d be pushed to the back. No one was talking to Luke or even acknowledging his existence. He didn’t mind not talking to the rest of her family, he just wanted to be right beside Mackenzie. He sighed and walked out of the house, taking a seat on the back porch swing. He rubbed his face as he thought about the last time he sat on this swing.
It wasn’t like Luke had planned to make Mackenzie cry. He didn’t mean to say it in the first place, it just came out wrong. He didn’t think she was fat, he thought she looked beautiful. His mouth just said the words before his brain could tell him they weren’t the right ones. He put his face in his hands and took a deep breath. He looked up when Brett took a seat on the bench across from him. “Why is my daughter crying in her room?” Brett crossed his arms.
“I tried making a joke about something to her but she took it seriously and we got into a bit of a fight.” Luke sighed. “She just took it so seriously and didn’t let me explain and now I feel fucking terrible.” He muttered into his hands
“Language, boy.” Brett scolded.
“I’m sorry, sir, but I just don’t think there are words that can show how passionate I am about your daughter. I’ve never felt like this about anyone before.” Luke looked at his hands. “She makes me feel like I’m special even though I know I’m not. She’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and it breaks my heart to see her so torn up about something I did.”
“You’re always going to have times when you say something wrong, but the important thing you need to learn is how to make her realize you don’t mean it. You can tell her that you don’t, but it doesn’t mean anything unless you show her until she believes you.” Brett said and leaned his arms on his knees. “It happened to me all the time. We’re men, it happens,” he chuckled. Luke slightly chuckled with him.
“I told myself when I met her that I was going to make myself a better person than I was the day before, that each time she sees that I’m changing for the better, for her. She inspired me to try and change” Luke smiled to himself. “I thought that I never could change but each day, when I see her happy, it just makes me feel like a better person, and then I do stupid stuff like this and wonder how she is still with me. Then, I question if I really am changing or just forcing myself to believe it.”
“Listen here, Luke.” Brett looked at Luke. Luke let out a deep breath, almost scared for what Brett was going to say. Brett never called Luke by his name, only ‘boy’. “I’m going to tell you right now that you’re the only one I ever want my daughter to be with. I see the way you make her smile and I see the way your eyes light up when you look at her.” Brett smiled. “I see the love you two have for each other, and I know that you love my daughter more than anyone else ever could. You know how I know that?”
“How?” Luke smiled softly.
“Because I feel that way for Georgia, and I look at her the same way you look at my daughter.” Brett smiled. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box. “I want you to have this.” He handed the box to Luke and Luke carefully opened it.
“It’s a ring..” Luke whispered, looking at it.
“This ring has been passed down from generation to generation. My father gave it me and I proposed to Georgia with it. I don’t have a son and I’m giving it to you to keep it in the family.” Brett clasped his hands together. “I’m not expecting you to propose with it, but I at least want you to give it to her with a promise. A promise to love and support her through anything.”
“I love your daughter, sir. Thank you for the ring.” Luke smiled.
“You have my blessing to marry my daughter whenever you see fit.” Brett smiled and stood up. “Now, I suggest you go back in there and tell my daughter that you’re sorry and that you love her more than anything.”
Luke pulled the ring out of his pocket and twirled it in his fingers. He jumped slightly as Jackson came out to the porch. The noise of the door startled Luke causing the ring fell out of Luke’s hands and fell down a crack in the wood of the porch. “Shit, I need to get under the porch.”
“I’ll get the flashlight.” Jackson said, as if it happens all the time. He grabbed a large flashlight from the inside of the house and came back out. He turned it on and set it down so the light was shining down into the space underneath the porch. Luke took off his jacket and walked down the steps. He crawled under the porch and looked around for the ring.
“I cannot believe I’m doing this.” Luke groaned and crawled toward the light of the flashlight. “There’s probably 600 spiders under here.”
“Oh, calm down. It’s November, they’re all dead or hibernating by now.” Jackson rolled his eyes. Luke huffed and picked up the ring from the dirt.
“I found it.” He announced, crawling out from under the porch. He dusted himself off and walked up the steps.
“What did you drop anyways?” Jackson asked, turning off the flashlight.
“This.” Luke smiled and showed him the ring. His eyes widened and he looked at Luke.
“Where did you get that?” He asked, sitting on the swing.
“Her dad gave it to me 2 years ago. He told me that he wanted me to keep it in the family. He gave me his blessing and he told me that I would be the only one he ever wanted to marry his daughter.” Luke smiled and cleaned the dirt from the ring. “I’m not going to propose with it, I’m just going to give it to her as a promise ring. Just so she knows that I’ll be the one who marries her someday.”
“He gave you his blessing?” There were tears in his eyes.
“He was a good man, Jackson. He loved you like a son and he loved Mackenzie so much.” Luke sat next to him. “It kills me that I wasn’t here for her when he left. I should have been here. I should have been at the funeral.”
“They sent you an invitation..” He sniffled and wiped his eyes.
“I still have it. I keep it framed on my desk at work.” Luke smiled softly. “I was just too scared to go. I was scared to see Mackenzie again.”
“Why did you leave her? She said it was your job that tore you both apart. What do you do for a living?”
“I run a club in New York City, and I’m in charge of an underground boxing ring.” Luke explained, leaving out the gang.
“A boxing ring?” Jackson looked at Luke. “I thought only mobsters ran those.”
“Uh, times have changed.” He said, trying to keep from telling him.
“Brett  loved boxing. He always said if Georgia hadn’t gotten pregnant with Kenzie so soon, he would’ve started boxing.” she sniffed. “I can’t even watch it on TV anymore, it makes me miss him too much. Georgia is even worse than me though.”
“He’s always going to be here with you, even if you can’t see him.” Luke smiled softly. “He sees you and your new little girl and he must love her so much,” he said putting his arm around him comfortably.
“You have my blessing, Luke,” a voice chimed in from behind. He turned to see Georgia standing in the door. “I know you hurt my daughter, but I also know that I’ve never seen her as happy as she is with you. And Brett would never forgive me if I didn’t keep his blessing.” Georgia smiled stepping forward, grabbing Luke’s hand and squeezed it gently. “She’s probably looking for you.”
“Yeah, I need to go change. I have dirt all over my shirt.” Luke chuckled and stood up, looking at his girlfriend’s family. “Thank you,” he smiled and walked back inside. He walked up the stairs to Mackenzie’s room and walked in.
“Why is there dirt on your shirt?” Mackenzie asked, standing up from where she sat on her bed.
“I had to go under the porch to get something.” Luke shrugged and pulled a band tee from his bag.
“What was it?” Mackenzie asked, walking over to him.
“I’ll give it to you once I change.” Luke smiled and closed the door. Mackenzie nodded and sat on her bed again. Luke changed into sweatpants and his band tee. Mackenzie looked at him as he stood up straight and walked over to her. He got down on one knee in front of her and held her hands.
“Oh, my God, Luke. What are you doing?” Mackenzie widened her eyes.
“I should have done this a long time ago.” Luke smiled and held up the ring for her to see. “Now, I’m not proposing yet, but I am making you a promise that I will. I am giving you this ring as a promise to love and support you through anything. I will love you forever and I’m not going to let you slip away again.” Tears filled Mackenzie’s eyes as Luke carefully slid the ring on her finger.
“Luke, is this the same ring my dad proposed to my mom with?” Mackenzie asked, looking at the ring.
“Yes, it is. 2 years ago, your dad gave me that ring and told me that I would always have his blessing to marry you.” Luke smiled and stood up. “I just got your mom’s blessing out on the porch when she helped me get the ring from under the porch.”
“I can’t believe you went under there.” Mackenzie wiped the tears from her eyes. “You risked getting your suit dirty for this ring?”
“Of course I did, Mac. I would risk my life for that ring, if it means you’re mine until the day I die.” He smiled and held her hands. “Mackenzie, I love you.” She stood up and wrapped her arms around his neck.
“I love you, too, Luke.” She pressed her lips to his.
