Summary: Y/N has the biggest crush on Zach but she’s too shy to even say a word to him. She also believes that since they are complete opposites he wouldn’t want to be with a girl like him but one night changes all of those thoughts.

Word Count: 2,218

It’s now been three months since the Turner family had the scare of their lives. All four members of the family have been going to therapy due to the traumatic things they went through and saw. Everyone is doing so much better especially Zach. They actually feel like a family which they haven’t felt like one in a very long time. Before Zach seemed to want nothing to do with his family and just wanted to be with his friends but after almost losing his sister and dad, he wants to spend time with them as much as he can.

Y/N is somewhat closed to the Turner family since she tutors Zach’s little sister, Emily in Social Studies so she’s always at the Turner’s household at least two days a week. However, this week is different since both of Y/N’s parents are going to be away for the week so she’s going to be staying at the Turner’s house in the guest room. Emily is so happy and excited to have Y/N stay with them since she adores her. Even though Y/N tutors Zach’s sister and they go to the same school they are complete strangers since Y/N hangs out with the smart group while Zach hangs out with the popular group.

Y/N does wish that her and Zach have some kind of bond since she does have a growing crush on him. She has noticed a change in him since the accident. He is starting to spend a lot more time with his family. Before the accident when Y/N would be at the house to tutor Emily, Zach would either not be home or he would be hiding upstairs in his room.

********************

It was Y/N’s first morning in the Turner’s family’s house. She just got getting changed into a fresh pair of clothes for school and made her way out of the guest bedroom that was located downstairs. She walked into the kitchen to see Zach and Emily sitting at the table eating breakfast while Mrs. Turner was fixing her a plate. “Good morning, Y/N!” Mrs. Turner said with a soft smile. “Did you sleep alright?” Mrs. Turner asked her. “Yes, thank you so much for letting me stay here.” Y/N said with a kind smile. “It’s no problem, dear. Come sit down and eat.” Mrs. Turner reassured setting down a plate of scrambled eggs and bacon down in front of the empty seat next to Emily.

Y/N felt her nerves start to race since she is going to be sitting right across from Zach. This is going to be the closest she’s ever going to be near him. He probably won’t even notice her sitting there since he’s texting someone on his phone, so she walked over to the table and sat down next to Emily.

“Hurry up and eat. We have to leave soon.” Mrs. Turner told the kids and walked away so she could clean the kitchen up a little. As Y/N ate Emily was saying how excited she was to have her living with them for a week and everything they can do together. “Why don’t we watch a movie together tonight?” Emily asked Y/N. “Sure, sounds good to me.” Y/N told her and took a bite from one of the strips of bacon. “What about you Zach?” Emily said looking at her brother who was just staring down at his phone in his hands. At first Zach didn’t hear her but when she said his name for the second time, he looked up at her. “I’m sorry. What was the question?” Zach said putting his phone down onto the table next to his plate. “Do you want to watch a movie with Y/N and I tonight?” Emily asked him in a curious tone. When Zach looked at Y/N she quickly looked down at her plate of food. “Sure.” Zach said looking back at Emily with a nod.

Y/N could feel her heart race when Zach said he would join her and Emily tonight. Fuck, when is she going to get over this shy behavior.

As Y/N ate her breakfast she would sneak a glance at Zach who again put his attention back onto his phone. Y/N knew something was going on with Zach, but she didn’t have the courage to say anything. Also, even if she did ask what was bothering him why would he tell her? He barely knows her.

********************

Y/N was at school standing in the hallway at her locker. She was taking some of her textbooks out of her locker and putting them into her book bag. After she zipped up her bag, she saw Zach at his locker talking to two of his guy friends. She couldn’t help but stare. She watched him laugh at something one of his friends said to him. Her favorite thing about Zach has to be his smile. He just has that smile that just makes a girl’s heart rate speed up. Why is it so fucking hard to just say one fucking word to him?

“Okay, you seriously need to stop with the staring thing.” A voice said behind Y/N which startled her but relaxed when she saw that it was just her best friend Annabeth. “Shut up!” Y/N hissed as she looked down at her feet. “I don’t understand why you won’t just ask him out already. You tutor his little sister and you’re currently living in the same house as him for fucks sake.” Annabeth told her which made Y/N roll her eyes.

“Reason number one is that he has a girlfriend.” Y/N reminded her. “Second reason is that we associate with two completely different type of friends groups.” Y/N told her. “And third he wouldn’t want to go out with a shy and dorky girl like me.” Y/N said with a sigh. “Y/N, don’t say that.” Annabeth said with a frown on her face.

Y/N took a quick glance over at Zach and then let out a heavy sigh. “Just forget it.” Y/N said closing her locker and walked away. Annabeth let out a heavy sigh and followed her down the hallway.

********************

It was the end of the school day and Y/N just walked out of her last class of the day. She walked down the hallway to her locker so she could put a couple books of hers in there before she meets Zach outside since his mom will be picking them up. Before Y/N walked around a corner she heard a familiar voice yelling. When she saw that the voice belonged to Mila and the person, she was yelling at was Zach she hid behind the wall. She didn’t mean to ease drop but she just couldn’t help herself.

“I can’t fucking do this anymore!” Mila snapped at Zach with a fiery look in her eyes. “It’s like ever since that accident you’ve become a completely different person.” Mila added slamming her locker shut and walked away from a heartbroken Zach. Y/N couldn’t believe what she just saw happen.

Did Mila just break things off with Zach?

It all started to sense during breakfast. The reason why Zach kept staring at his phone was because he was expecting a text from Mila. Y/N saw the heartbreaking look in Zach’s memorizing brown eyes. If only she had the courage to comfort him.

********************

That night while Y/N watched a movie with Emily and Zach in the living room she would notice Zach was doing the same thing he did that morning. Y/N knew that Zach was completely head over heels for Mila that’s why he’s so heartbroken about what she said to him. It breaks Y/N’s heart to admit that, but she knows she doesn’t have a shot with Zach because they are polar opposites.

After the movie was over Zach and Emily went upstairs to their rooms for bed while Y/N went into the guest bedroom. She got changed into a pair of comfy pajamas and crawled into bed, but as time passed, she couldn’t fall asleep. No matter how many times she had tossed and turned she just couldn’t fall asleep.

As Y/N laid on her back staring up at the ceiling she heard footsteps coming from the kitchen. She decided to ignore it since it was probably just someone getting something to drink. However, when she heard a loud noise and a familiar voice let out a curse word, she decided to get out of bed to see what was going on.

Y/N opened the door to see Zach cleaning up a bag of chips he spilled all over the floor. She saw him struggling so she walked over to him and helped him. “Thanks.” Zach said in a soft voice. “No problem.” Y/N said standing up to throw the chips that she picked up into the trash. “Did I wake you up?” Zach asked as he cleaned up the rest of the mess. “I’m sorry if I did.” He added throwing away all of the spilled chips into the trash can. “No, I actually am having a hard time falling asleep.” Y/N told him. “Yeah, I am too.” Zach said with a sigh as he sat down at the table.

Y/N knew that he shouldn’t be alone at the moment, so she walked over to the table and sat down next to him. “I can sense that you need someone to talk to so if you want you can talk to me if you want to.” Y/N told him having the courage to let him talk to her. “Mila broke up with me at school today.” Zach told her with a frown. “Not to be nosey or anything but why did she break things off?” Y/N asked hoping he doesn’t think she’s nosey. “She’s mad because I’ve been ditching her to spend more time with my family.” Zach said as he looked anywhere but at Y/N.

“She doesn’t deserve you then.” Y/N blurted out which took him by surprise. “Huh?” Zach said looking at her. “I’ve noticed ever since the incident happened you’ve been spending more time with your family and there’s nothing wrong with that.” Y/N told him. “If she can’t see that family is more important than you don’t need her.” She told him as they stared into each other’s eyes. Zach didn’t say anything. Instead, he leaned in and connected his lips with hers which put her into shock.

She couldn’t believe that Zach’s lips were on hers. As they kissed, they both felt electricity shoot through their bodies. When the kiss broke Y/N’s breath was completely taken away. Zach was also in shock. “Sorry!” Zach said quickly getting up and walking up the steps back to his room.

********************

A week has now passed since Zach kissed Y/N. For the rest of the week, she stayed at the Turner’s house she didn’t say a word to Zach, and he didn’t say a word to her. But Y/N would feel Zach’s eyes on her and when she would look back at him, he would quickly look away. It’s like the roles between the two of them switched. She noticed that he would do the same thing at school in the hallway.

Y/N was in her own bedroom sitting on her bed reading a book when there was a knock on the door. “Come in.” She called out as she put her bookmark into her book and closed it. When the door opened, she was shocked to see that it was Zach. “Zach?” Y/N said in a surprised tone as she sat her book to the side. “Is this a bad time?” Zach asked walking into the room. “No, of course not.” Y/N said in reassurance as she stood up from her bed.

“I wanted to talk to you about the kiss.” Zach said which made Y/N’s heart rate speed up. “When you were telling me how Mila didn’t deserve me, I just had the urge to lean in and at the time I just thought it was just the heat of the moment and that it was just an accident.” Zach said which made her heart hurt a little. “Oh.” Y/N said looking down at the hardwood floor. Zach walked up to her and picked her head up, so she was looking up at him. “But as time went on, I realized the reason why I can’t stop thinking about it is because I have feelings for you.” Zach confessed making shock shoot through her body. “You like me?” We’re like complete opposites.” Y/N said as her body was still in shock. “Well, it’s like they say.” Zach said putting his hand on her cheek which made the butterflies in her stomach go crazy. “Sometimes opposites attract.” Zach said and leaned down to connect his lips with hers.

Y/N just melted into the kiss. As they kissed, they felt that same spark they felt when they kissed the first time. Even though they didn’t want to pull away they had to so they could get a breath of air.

“Do you want to go out to dinner with me tomorrow night?” Zach asked with a smile as he stroked her cheek gently with his thumb. “Yes!” Y/N said with a big smile as she leaned into his touch.

As a romantic who's quite familiar with heartbreak, Turner's grown sick of looking for a spark that will eventually burn him. So, while visiting a local pub, how was he supposed to know that a drunken Tuesday night, would change his sombre tune forever?

Chapter one:

Aviation

Toronto, November 15, 2015

5:57 pm

Alex's POV

"That's enough Turner!" Zach yells over the various clamouring instruments. "You've been working on these songs for weeks and this was the best you got mate?" Jaime continues with a snort. "Yeah?" I huff, rolling my eyes.

Jaime and Zach exchange a knowing look before Zach pipes up again. "You know what Al? Why don't you call it a night, maybe go out, meet a few girls, have fun." He then glances to my right. "Miles you stay and finish your set."

"What's this?" I jest, bewildered by my bandmates.

"Sorry Al, the songs you've been writing these days just aren't the Shadow Puppets brand," Jaime trails off, looking more empathetic than his counterpart. My brows crease further into my eyelids and I dully unclasp the guitar strap from my shoulder. "My songs don't fit the 'brand' of my band?" I glare at them in disbelief as the two share another look.

"Sorry Al, but your material has been all doom and gloom these days." Miles now exclaims while avoiding my troubled expression. He pauses before continuing. "Your greatest hits are love songs, passionate shite." Miles's eyes then connect with my own, and I finally understand what he's implying. "It's been a while mate." His last statement was the final blow.

That's right, I haven't been with anyone for months, romantically, physically, and everybody knows it. These days I just find romance to be tiresome. Even a shag doesn't seem to excite me much anymore. I've simply gone mad, that's what it is.

Though they seem to have me all figured out, I refuse to give in to their remarks. "You lot have lost it. I'll come back when you've come to your senses!" I bark out while snatching up my guitar and jacket. The boy's faint snickers fill the room as I take off towards the door. "Aw c'mon, Al!" Jaime carries out, stifling his laughter. I slam the door behind me with unnecessary force, utterly infuriated.

Instantly after leaving the studio, I feel the blistering Canadian winter encase my narrow frame. "Bugger," I snit before whipping out my phone, in hopes an Uber would usher me away from this frost. To my dismay, because of the excessive snowfall, transport was either delayed or unavailable, and I had no interest in sticking around roadside. So, I switched to searching for a local pub, racing out of the cold.

...

After a numbing 10-minute journey, I reached a pub called Les Cactus and ripped open its wooden entrance, embracing its heat. Whilst I take a seat on the nearest bar stool, a flash of red catches the corner of my eyes. A waitress with her back turned serves drinks to a group of men who gawk at her with an unreserved fancy. Momentarily, I admire her long, fiery hair that flows down her fit backside. Fortunately, the incoming bartender removes me from my fairly pervy thoughts. "What can I get for ya buddy?" The bartender ranks down my features, odd excitement filling his own. "You got any Bulleit?" He smirks.

"Sure thing." He spins away from me, before quickly rotating back and whispering for my ears only, "Big fan by the way." I smile politely with a nod as he disappears into the bar to prepare my drink. My gaze returns to the space where the redhead once stood, which is now vacant. "Here ya go. Let me know if you need anything else!" The bartender ponders shortly before speaking, "My name's Mickey by the way." He places my bourbon down with an oddly suggestive wink.

8:24 pm

"Maybe consider spacing out your next drink Alex. I get you're a millionaire and money ain't a thing," Mickey bobs his head, taking note of appearance, "but you're kinda overdoing it buddy," he finishes. I scoff at his smirk and slap a bill on the countertop. "Another." My face and tone drop in an attempt to be taken seriously, but my drunken command doesn't detour Mickey's delight.

"You're the boss."

"Uh-uh, that's at least his sixth drink this hour M." An unfamiliar feminine voice pitches in. It's husky and demanding, and so, I intend to listen. Curiously turning to look, my vision is consumed by that recognizable carrot-like head. If I was captivated before seeing her face, I was surely a goner now.

Mickey ceases his actions while she stares between us with scrutiny. I'm gobsmacked and she clearly takes my silence as a sort of confirmation. "Right, no more for him. Okay M?" Mickey nods sternly, face falling moderately as her tone leaves no room for opposition. "Alexander!" I practically cry out before Red gets the chance to leave. Smooth Turner.

"Excuse me?"

"I-uh, name's Alex..." Yeah, very smooth.

"Jennie." She states curtly, evidently bemused. She then moves swiftly on her heel towards the kitchen. Straight away I grimace, pulling a hand to my forehead, rubbing its lines harshly. "Not a word." Mickey chuckles quietly and goes back to his work.

9:41 pm

"Still here, Alexander?" My head shoots up, startled by Red. When did I even fall asleep-

"Yes?" She snorts at my jumbled reply.

"Want me to call you a cab? A shrink perhaps?"

"M' sorry?" I question clumsily.

"Oh? I just thought you may need one, after hearing what you told to Mickey." Her sultry voice echoes out her rather devious grin. "God." My eyes widen in horror which aids her impending elation. "What have I said?"

"Nothing really, just that..." She starts counting her digits absentmindedly. "You've got no luck writing your music, no love life. Oh, and you have no sex life!" She proclaims the last part with glee. Jesus, please end this nightmare.

"I did not."

"Did too."

"I've had too much drink."

"Drunken words are sober thoughts." Jennie carries on smiling at my trepidation. Maybe I'd find her charming if her jokes weren't at my expense. "That's it, I'm not tipping." I declare pathetically. Her devilish smirk doesn't falter. "Seriously? Things can't be that bad! Mickey tells me you're actually a successful musician."

"That you've obviously never heard of." I roll my eyes at the absurdity of our conversation. She laughs aloud at my response, which I admit, brought a genuine smile to my face. It really has been a while. Her face then goes blank. "Alexander."

"Alex."

"Alex. You're young." She pauses, her gaze sweeps my shaggy appearance. "Ish"

"Ouch." I flinch jokingly, earning myself another gorgeous laugh and playful swat.

"Hey! And you're good-looking."

"Ish." I interrupt again with a chuckle and her smile grows.

"No!" She more or less shouts, "You have a lot to work with, trust me." Her hands gesture nimbly. "The only thing standing in the way of you getting laid is yourself." A surprise roar of laughter leaves my lips shortly and I shake my head in disbelief.

"You're selling yourself short here Alexander," Red concludes. "Alex-"

"You're wasting your youth-ish," she interrupts me once again and a sliver of silence washes over us. It's as if we're the only ones in this packed pub, eyes locked on one another, communicating beyond words. Her deep hazel orbs focus on my brown ones. "What do you suggest I do then, Jennie?" Lightly raising a brow, my words dare her while her lovely name rolls off my tongue. I can't help but revel in how it sounds. Then something flashes in her fixated stare.

"Let's get out of here."

Chapter two

[reychvmpion]

Hii love I was wondering if could request a zach turner x female reader where they meet for the first time

hi anon!! i wasn’t not too sure how to write this buuutt i tried my best :]

zach turner x fem!reader (both 16yo)

it’s nice to have a friend - part 1

~

you had just transferred to a new school. your parents had gotten a good job opportunity, but it was far from your home. so, your parents decided to move. although you were disappointed, you were looking forward to meeting new people. 

~

“y/n, get up for school! y’need to be early today!” your mother yelled from the kitchen. the sunlight shone through your windows and curtains and painted your room as you groggily got up. the clock on your wall read “6:32”, and you threw your comforter off of you. “k mom, ‘m getting up,” you grumbled, getting off your oh-so-cozy bed and making it too. “you packed your bag, right?” she asked from the kitchen while probably cooking something. you trudged down the stairs and was immediately greeted by the fresh aroma of pancakes. mumbling a quick “mhm”, you made your way to the bathroom and did your usual morning routine. brushing teeth, washing your face, doing your hair, quick skincare, and changing into a simple shirt and sweatpants. 

~

you had just finished your mother’s heavenly pancakes, and you wanted more. but then again, you had school. reluctantly, you picked up your bag as your mother gave you a gentle peck on the head. “enjoy your first day, hon.” she smiled, giving your shoulder a gentle squeeze. “bye mom, i’ll cya later. love you!” you smiled as well, hugging your mother tightly before letting go and leaving.

~

upon reaching the school, you looked around. it was pretty bustling considering it was 7am while school started at 7:30. just then, a bubbly and energetic girl, about the same age as you, approached you with a big smile on her face. “heya! you’re y/n l/n, right?” with a bit of shock, you nodded frantically. “nice to meet you y/n! i’m your esteemed tour guide for today,” she added, still smiling widely. “ah- thanks!” you chuckled, nervously fiddling with your shirt.

~

“and that’s the school. mainly. the other rooms aren’t really important. but if you want to know, i’m always here. by the way, i think we have a class together.” the girl said. ah, first friend here. “so we’re friends now?” you laughed. “yep!” she chuckled, wrapping an arm around you. “alright, better get to class now.”

~

when walking into the class, you noticed it was half full. “so i usually sit there,” y/f/n pointed to the table, as she approached it and sat down in the chair. you sat down beside her, not seeing the empty table beside you. “oh, by the way, i haven’t told you that he s—“ she stopped herself from saying more. wait, what? who is ‘he’? you turned around to look behind you since she also was, and you saw a guy with brown hair, chocolate brown eyes and headphones around his neck. he was wearing a light teal t-shirt with a turquoise hoodie, and sweatpants with white shoes. kind of average to be honest. however, he had a nice build — rather lean and was at least 6’0”. he was chatting with a friend when he spotted you. “yo, zach, i think there’s a new girl.” his friend said not so discreetly, gesturing at you. you think?! you thought to yourself, rolling your eyes slightly. zach said something you couldn’t hear, and his friend laughed and agreed. 

~

“miss y/n, could you come to the front of the class and give an introduction?” the teacher asked when she reached the desk. you didn’t want to, but of course, you had to. “uh, i’m y/n l/n and i moved here recently. i’m 16 years old and- yeah i don’t think there’s anything more.” you said after going to the front of the class. “alright, thank you.”

~

as you were focusing on the teacher droning on about physics, a note was slipped onto your desk; from zach. you noticed he had a small grin on his face. what could he be up to?

~

hueueueuehahauehaueu cliffhanger!! i’m writing a part 2 to this soon, sorry i haven’t been posting often i’m just reaally busy :P

y/nlivesforrocknroll: Spotify Wrapped?

On y/n’s recent instagram story she shares her most listened to artist.. arctic monkeys. Later she shared the lyrics the lyrics to The Last Shadow Puppets (former English supergroup consisting of Alex Turner, Miles Kane, James Ford, and Zach Dawes.) song titled Sweet Dreams, TN.

It’s rumored that Turner and L/n are in a relationship and have been for a while, maybe even during tlsp era, though nothing has been confirmed. Fans have been analyzing the lyrics Y/n chose to share. Could this song be about her or resonate with her and that’s why she’s sharing it?Are they dating or is it just a coincidence?

jack when he saw the like & had to delete it then post it again

that’s exactly how i imagine him, maybe even a little Zach Turner😭

[shit-talk-turner]

Yeah me too. Imagine Lana singing at your wedding, that would be bomb. And the dress she would wear and the hair style+make up. Instead there was Alex looking like a darf in the so not suiting suit lol. We really missed on something there, darn it lol

// I understand Zach Dawes inviting Alex to his wedding but if I had to choose between Lana Del Rey and Alex, I would so choose Lana. 😄

You guys are in the wrong place if that's how you wanna "shit-talk" Turner. No thank you. We'd take that short king in a suit any day

[fade-and-loathing-in-thedas]

For the original character asks: 1 and 5 for one from the Merry Band of Wardens if applicable (and if not, for another lovely oc)

💕💕💕 thank you for the ask! Also I'm still working on the other one for the Merry Band Of Wardens (it's not forgotten, it's just surprisingly hard lol)

Have you ever picked up a habit from developing/writing one of your own characters? And if so, who and what?

I like to read my fic out loud when I'm doing edits and I always end doing the gestures I imagine the characters doing lol It's been notoriously bad for Declan and Eden lol A hair flick, an eye roll, an eyebrow quirk, etc. Worse still they tend to linger for a while after and I accidentally respond to people how I envisioned the character would.

Do you have any voice claims for your OCs?

Actually, yes. It was really hard trying to find some youtube clips that weren't too long or where discussions between characters, but here they are. Just click a name and hear the voice :)

Declan Aeducan / Amos Brosca / Assana Mahariel / Viera Tabris / Adelene Surana / Eden Amell / Connor Cousland

Some of these I had clear ideas about when I went into it, Luke Arnold's John Silver has always been the voice I imagined for Declan, and Frankie Adams was always Assana in my mind. The others came along after as I wrote them and started to form an idea about their voices.

In summary: Luke Arnold's John Silver is Declan, Zach McGowan's Vane is Amos, Frankie Adams is Assana Mahariel, Sophie Turner is Viera Tabris, Emily Blunt is Adelene, Hannah Murray is Eden Amell, and Regé Jean-Page is Connor.

Anxiety With a Happy Ending

Zach Turner x Reader

Warnings: Anxiety, Adult Language, Jealousy, Mention of Vehicle Crash, Mention of Daddy Issues, Mention of Stealing Alcohol, Angst but with Fluff at the end, and Maybe Some Grammar Errors.

Description: Y/N has been trying to get in contact with her Best Friend who she secretly has feelings for all day but has gotten nothing. But, once she hears about what happened that morning her Anxiety takes over her entire body.

Word Count: 1,763

Author’s Note: Hello Everyone! My first Zach Turner one shot is finally here and I apologize if it’s a little short! I kinda lost inspiration towards the end. Sorry about the description being short too! I’m bad at writing descriptions because I’m scared I’m going to spoil too much.

Y/N was sitting in her last period of the day. As her teacher rambled on about a topic, she didn’t give a shit about she kept glancing down at her phone that was sitting right beside her textbook. Early this morning she had been texting her best friend Zach. She was trying her best to talk him out of cutting school with the bad girl of the school who is also a year older and one grade level up than them. Ever since he met the girl, he’s been acting out. Not that Y/N is surprised by him acting out because she knows he’s just trying to get his father’s attention, but she doesn’t want him to get into big trouble with not just his parents but with the school as well.

However, ever since she arrived at school, she hasn’t heard from him. The last text she received from him said that he got busted, so he will be at school, but she hasn’t seen him at all. They have about every class together and he hasn’t shown up to one of them.

Y/N has been trying her best to not worry, but every time she glances at her phone her nerves begin to pace. She glanced over to her left at the empty desk and chair where Zach sits. She felt her anxiety rising, so she took a deep breath to calm her nerves down.

She saw her phone light up, so she quickly picked up her phone. She was hoping it was a text from Zach, but it wasn’t. The number was unknown, but in the text, it read that it was from Mila, the girl Zach has been hanging out with. Mila told her to meet her outside of the school because she needs to talk with her which confused Y/N. How did Mila get her phone number and why does she want her to meet her at the front of the school. Y/N really didn’t want to meet up with Mila since she wants nothing to do with that bad influence, but then again, Mila might know where Zach is or have heard from him. She quickly sent Mila a text back letting her know that she will be there.

After Y/N hit the send button the bell rung signaling that the long school day was finally over. Y/N put her phone in the pocket of her sweatshirt and started to pack her stuff back into her book bag. She stood up from her chair grabbing her book bag off the floor and wrapped the straps over her shoulders. She walked out of the classroom and into the busy hallway.

Y/N decided to stop by her locker before she met up with Mila. She quickly opened her locker and put some of the books that were in her book bag into her locker since she didn’t need to take them home with her. After she was done, she closed her locker and zipped her book bag back up. Again, Y/N had to squeeze her way through the busy hallway to get to the front doors of the school. “Got to fucking love high school.” Y/N mumbled to herself with a roll of her eyes as she squeezed by people.

When she finally walked outside, she felt like she could finally breathe fresh air. She looked around till her eyes spotted Mila on the side street leaning on her motor bike. As Y/N walked closer to Mila she noticed the front over her bike was all banged up. “What the fuck took you so long?” Mila asked her in a nasty tone in her voice. “Oh, I’m sorry. Are you in a rush to go steal alcohol from the liquor store?” Y/N shot back which made Mila let out a harsh laugh. “I love how you think you know me.” Mila said as she folded her arms over her chest. “Are you in a bitchy mood because you crashed your bike into something?” Y/N asked in an annoyed tone. “I crashed my bike into the back of Zach’s dad’s car.” Mila told her which made Y/N’s heart rate speed up.

“So, you have seen Zach today.” Y/N said still annoyed. Did Zach lie to her saying he was really coming to school when in reality he wasn’t. “Yeah, for like a fucking minuet.” Mila told her crossing off Y/N’s theory. “What? What happened?” Y/N asked now confused, but her anxiety rising again. “I was just riding my bike down the street behind them when his dad just randomly slammed on his breaks making me crash into the back of his car.” Mila said explaining what happened this morning in annoyance in her voice. “Was everyone alright?” Y/N asked as her anxiety was taking over her body. “I don’t know. His dad just sped away.” Mila said with a shrug.

“That’s why I wanted you to meet up with me. I haven’t seen or spoken to Zach since that happened.” Mila added as she stood up straight. “No, I haven’t spoken to him since this morning, and I haven’t seen him.” Y/N answered her questions. “Great.” Mila said with a heavy sigh. “I have to walk past Zach’s house to get to mine, so I’ll see if he’s home.” Y/N told her trying to hide the worry that was rising in her veins. “Okay, can you text me an update.” Mila asked her.

Y/N did see some worry in Mila’s eyes which made her jealous. Is Y/N jealous of the type of person Mila is? Fuck no! Is she jealous of all the attention Zach has been giving Mila? Fuck yes! But is this the time to be petty towards Mila? No, that can wait. “Yeah.” Y/N answered with a nod and started her way down the sidewalk.

Y/N was able to keep her nerves on the down low all day till what Mila just told her. There’s no way that she can keep her anxiety levels down now. All she kept thinking about was Zach and if he is alright. She doesn’t know what she would do if something happened to him. Y/N hasn’t told anyone this, but she’s started to develop feelings for her brunette-haired best friend. That’s why she gets jealous when Zach spends most of his time with Mila.

When Y/N got to Zach’s house she felt her heart drop. There was nothing but police cars around the house and two officers were blocking the front door. “What the fuck is going on?” Y/N whispered to herself. She quickly ran down the sidewalk to her house that was just down the street. She ran up to her front door and unlocked the door. When she walked inside her house, she dropped her book bag down to the floor and pulled out her phone to call Zach. She really needed to talk to him and know what the fuck is going on. When Y/N put her phone to her ear the call went straight to his voicemail. “No, no, no.” Y/N said in complete panic taking her phone away from her ear. Before she could redial someone called her. It was Zach’s mom, so she quickly answered the call.

“Hello?” Y/N said after putting the phone up against her ear. “Y/N.” She heard Zach’s voice on the other line which made her heart rate skip a beat. “Zach! I’m so relieved to hear your voice.” Y/N said into the phone. “Come to the hospital.” She heard him say in a serious tone. “Zach, what’s going on?” Y/N said as her relief quickly melted away. “I’ll tell you when you get here.” She heard him tell her. Before she could say anything else he hung up. Y/N let out a heavy sigh as she called for a cab to take her to the hospital since her mom wasn’t going to be home from work till after five.

As Y/N waited for the cab outside her house she sent a text to her mom letting her know what’s going on. After she hit the send button the cab showed up. When she got into the back of the cab, she told the driver where to take her. During the car ride Y/N did all she could do to keep her nerves down, but she couldn’t. As she stared out the window all she kept thinking about was her phone call with Zach. She was finally so relieved to hear from him, but the way he was talking quickly drained that feeling out of her.

Y/N was so deep in her thoughts that she didn’t realize that the cab has arrived at the hospital. After she thanked and paid the driver she got out of the cab.

She took a deep breath and walked into the front doors of the emergency room of the hospital. Her eyes scanned the room till they finally landed on Zach who was sitting in the corner of the room by himself. “Zach!” Y/N called out to him as she quickly walked over to him. When he looked up, she noticed scratches on his face which made her heart ache. Zach stood up and gave her a big hug which she returned right away. “I’m so happy to see you.” Zach told her as he held her as close to him as he could. “Same here.” Y/N told him.

“Before I catch you up on what happened I need to tell you something really important.” Zach said pulling away, so he was looking at her, but he still had his arms around her. “What is it?” Y/N asked him as she stared into his brown eyes. Zach didn’t say anything. Instead, he connected his lips with hers which took her by surprise. She still returned the kiss, but she was still in shock that she was kissing her best friend. When they pulled away from each other’s lips they rested their foreheads against one another’s.

“After the scary and fucked up day I just had, I knew the first thing I had to do was tell you that I have feelings for you.” Zach told her taking both of her hands in his’s. “Well, I’m happy I get to tell you that I have feelings for you, too.” Y/N told him smiling for the first time today.

Zach smiled as again he leaned in and connected his lips with Y/N’s again both so happy to finally be with each other after a day that was filled with nothing but anxiety.

darling #1

Darling #1 Source Point Press 2021 Created & Written by Michael Fleizach & Todd Hunt Illustrated by Dave Mims Lettered by Zach Turner    With all of New York City enveloped in the zeitgeist of a missing 8-year old girl, lovable anti-hero Francis Darling accidentally stumbles onto the machinations behind her kidnapping and the drug war that ensues. But has he really? A bit like chasing the Mad Hatter through a toxic chemical cloud, Francis' strange and inconceivable journey brings us uncomfortably close to NYC's most crooked... most deviant... most irredeemable characters; the kind that can only be extricated from the drug-addled guilty conscience of a failing brain.    What an interesting and pretty powerful this story already is.  We’re talking drug addiction and in this issue alone not only do we see that Francis has tracks up his arm but his girlfriend or ex-girlfriend isn’t able to handle being around him because of it.  This is where things get tricky because if something happens to him and he overdoses or some such deal her guilt at not being able to help him when she knew full well the extent of his addiction well that’s something that is incredibly hard to live with.  So that we see these kind of things and super impose them through our own knowledge and experiences is what makes this so impactful and engaging.    I am a huge fan of the way that this is being told.  The story & plot development that we see through how the sequence of events unfold as well as how the reader learns information is presented extraordinarily well.  The character development that we see through the dialogue, the character interaction and how they act and react to the situations and circumstances that they encounter is magnificently rendered.  The pacing is superb and as it takes us through the pages introducing us to these characters, the story and the world they inhabit it is easy to empathise with these folks and get swept in their lives.      I like how we see this being structured and how we see the layers emerge and grow.  It is within these layers that we see some great characterisation, how we meet the various characters and really get a sense for this world.  What these moments do is add this extra depth and complexity to the story and it does so beautifully.  How we see everything working together to create the story’s ebb & flow as well as how it moves the story forward is greatly achieved.    The interiors here are absolutely gorgeous!  The linework is phenomenal and how we see the varying weights and techniques being utilised to create this level & quality of detail work that we see is astounding.  There is this amazing style to the work that just works so beautifully plus how we see the backgrounds and how they are utilised throughout is spectacular.  How they work within the composition of the panels create the depth perception, sense of scale and the overall sense of size and scope to the story.  The utilisation of the page layouts and how we see the angles and perspective in the panels show a remarkably talented eye for storytelling.  The colour work is brilliantly rendered.  How we see the various hues and tones within the colours being utilised to create the shading, highlights and shadow work is rendered exceptionally well.  I love seeing the creativity and imagination being utilised to bring this world to life.    I am super impressed with this book.  It is deeply personal, you can tell that just by the subject matter and how well it is represented, story and how the structure, characterisation and the overall writing is so phenomenally well done with such creative and dynamic interiors make this something powerful to read.

Qatar World Cup: USMNT roster projection for September's Football World Cup qualifiers for Qatar 2022

All eyes are on U.S. men's national team coach Gregg Berhalter as he prepares to announce the squad for the U.S.' first Football World Cup qualifier since being eliminated in Trinidad nearly four years ago. The first three games of the 14-game qualifying campaign won't be easy. There are two away games, in El Salvador and Honduras, and a home game against a surging Canadian team that has matched the U.S. in recent games: in El Salvador (Sept. 2), against Canada (Sept. 5), and in Honduras (Sept. 8).

Fans from all over the world are called to book Football world Cup tickets from our online platforms WorldWideTicketsandHospitality.com. Football World Cup fans can book USA Football World Cup Tickets on our website at exclusively discounted prices.

                        Three games in seven days are tough enough, especially for many European players who have just started the season. Add to that the travel hassles, and the challenge of getting off to a good start will be enormous. Berhalter's squad selection will therefore have to allow for a degree of rotation. Apart from the goalkeeper position, it is difficult to say how many of the players who were in the starting eleven on September 2 will be available again for the intense game against Canada on September 5.

National teams are only allowed to field a 23-man squad on game days, but each country can field a larger squad in training camp and change the 23-man roster for each game. Here are the predictions for the most meaningful 26-man squad for the USMNT qualifiers in September.

Goalkeepers (3)

Zach Steffen (Manchester City/England)

Matt Turner (New England Revolution)

Ethan Horvat (Nottingham Forest/England)

This combination of three goalkeepers should be a staple throughout qualifying and at the Football World Cup 2022, assuming the U.S. makes it to Qatar. It's hard to imagine any other American goalkeepers making it into this group. The only problem with this list is that two of the names, Zach Steffen and Ethan Horvat, are substitutes for their clubs and don't see regular action. Assuming Steffen is in the starting eleven, Matt Turner (see above) could at least get a qualifying start.

New York City Football Club Shawn Johnson is the next candidate if one of the top three players is out. Real Salt Lake goalkeeper David Ochoa was called up by the U.S. for the Nations League final in May and has since announced he will play for Mexico.

Defenders (8)

Walker Zimmerman (Nashville SC)

John Brooks (Wolfsburg/Germany)

Shaq Moore (Tenerife/Spain)

Sergiño Dest (Barcelona/Spain)

Anthony Robinson (Fulham FC/England)

Miles Robinson (Atlanta United)

Mark McKenzie (Genk/Belgium)

Sam Vines (Royal Antwerp / Belgium)

With the four center backs mentioned above, the two center back positions are well-staffed. Should Berhalter play with a five-man backline against Canada, James Sands may be called up from NYCFC. The outside back position will be filled by four other players, Sergiño Dest (right or left), Antonee Robinson (left back), Sam Vines (left back), and Shaq Moore (right back, see picture below).

The most hotly contested position is right back, for which Reggie Cannon and DeAndre Yedlin are also being considered. The problem is that Cannon's club situation has yet to be resolved and he has yet to make an appearance for Boavista in Portugal this season. Veteran Yedlin could be an option, but he is spending his final days in training camp with Bejart. Considering Moore has fit in well with the U.S. national team system, his inclusion in the squad seems to make the most sense. For more details about Football World Cup Tickets.

Matt Miazga is still adjusting to his new team after his recent move to the Spanish La Liga side La Coruna Alaves, while veterans Tim Ream and Chris Richards (Bayern Munich) have been sidelined in central defense. Right-back Brian Reynolds (AS Roma) has just joined the Italian national team and hasn't played much of a role this month except for a few minutes on the bench.

Midfielders (7)

Kylian Acosta (Colorado Rapids)

Sebastien Lecheit (LA Galaxy)

Cristian Roldan (Seattle Sounders)

Tyler Adams (RB Leipzig/Germany)

Erik Williamson (Portland Timbers)

Weston McKennie (Juventus/Italy)

Jackson Yuehl (San Jose Earthquakes)

Midfielders pick themselves. Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie, Sebastian Lechett, and Kellyn Acosta (pictured below) are already signed. Christian Roldan and Erik Williamson proved to be solid and reliable substitutes during the Gold Cup. Jackson Yuehl has slipped down the rankings in recent months, but he is still a player Bejarte would use without hesitation.

Valencia's Yunus Musa would normally be in the lineup, but an ankle ligament injury has kept him out of action since July. Given that he is still on the mend, it would be surprising to send him out for the qualifying round. Owen Otasowe was recently transferred to Belgian club Brugge and has yet to make a competitive appearance this preseason.

Strikers (8)

Nicolas Gioacchini (Caen/France)

Christian Pulisic (Chelsea/England)

Gio Reina (Borussia Dortmund/Germany)

Josh Sargent (Norwich City/England)

Tim Weah (Lille/France)

Jordan Pefok Siebatcheu (Young Boys/Switzerland)

Brenden Aaronson (Red Bull Salzburg / Austria)

Matthäus Hoppe (Schalke / Germany)

Eight is a group, but given Berhalter's preference for a three-man forward line and regular substitutes in those positions, all eight could be used in the September qualifiers. Matthew Hope has been getting back into shape with his German club team after taking time off following the Gold Cup. But given his performances in this tournament, he would be a valuable option for Berhalter. The same goes for Nicolas Gioacchini, who has returned to his French second division club.

Washington DC's Paul Arriola and Columbus forward Garci Zardes have both suffered hamstring injuries recently. Colorado's Jonathan Lewis is a possible option if another player can't play. Darryl Dyke, who has yet to play a competitive game after appearing in the Gold Cup in August, remains the subject of transfer rumors as the European window closes on August 31.
