The Tipping Point

Corali heaved a sigh as she headed toward the arena. Ever since she became sober, her matches were suffering. If it wasn't a headache, it was a sudden case of the shakes or her heart racing enough to be distracting. In addition to the withdrawal symptoms, she was starting to have anxiety again just like when she was much younger, which she took up drinking to cope with in the first place. As a result, she was in the midst of an intense losing streak, and her payouts were suffering for it.

Upon entering, she was met with one of the circuit managers staring at her with an expression she couldn't quite read. Maybe regret? Frustration? Whatever it was, it certainly wasn't good. She tried to walk past him to the locker rooms, but he held up an arm to block her.

"We gotta talk, Primer," he told her sternly. She stopped and looked up at the older olive with an eyebrow raised.

"If this is about my matches--" she began but was promptly cut off.

"It's more than that. You're not welcome here anymore," he interrupted. Corali blinked and stared at him in confusion which quickly turned to anger.

"The hell's that s'posed ta mean? Since when ain't I welcome at my job??" she snapped at him, though he didn't appear the least bit fazed by her. He merely sighed and pulled out his huskphone. He clicked through a few apps before pulling up a familiar short on grubtube and showing it to her. Corali groaned and dragged a metal hand down her face.

"Oh, for the love of-- Yer kickin' me out on account a that??" she asked in exasperation as she watched herself punch the highblood doctor and shatter his mask. He closed the grubtube app and placed his huskphone back in his pocket before turning back to her with a stern face.

"Do you realize how illegal what you did is? The fact that legislacerators haven't already hunted you down is a miracle. It's only a matter of time before they start coming here sniffing around for you, and I don't want any part of what you've gotten yourself into," he explained himself.

The yellow of Corali's eyes turned the slightest bit orange, and she crossed her arms angrily. A stupid fifteen second video was going to cost her job. Had she known there would be this much blowback from her bad mood, she probably wouldn't have punched that guy. The manager narrowed his eyes at her as though daring her to try something. Although the expected outburst never came, he didn't relax.

"So that's it then. I'm fuckin' canned 'cause I lost my temper at a coffee shop?" She accused. He groaned and ran a hand through his short messy hair.

"Think of it more like... a suspension. On paper, yeah, you're fired, but you're welcome to come back when all this attention surrounding you eases up. Let's say, half a sweep?" he proposed. He got Corali yelling in his face for his troubles.

"Half a sweep!? The fuck am I s'posed ta do fer money fer half a got dang sweep!!?"

"I don't know! It's not my business!" he fired back and threw his hands in the air. "You'll figure something out. Besides, you need the vacation. I don't know what's been going on with you, but you've been complete shit in the ring all month, and it's affecting attendance and bets. No one wants to see the same person get beat up over and over, especially when they used to be really good."

Corali huffed but said nothing. He wasn't wrong about that, and she hated it. She was angry, but more than anything she found herself feeling sad. She slumped as the orange in her eyes receded and turned back to yellow. Only then did the manager ease up now that he knew she wasn't going to do something stupid.

"Ya don't get it. This job's all I got goin' fer me right now," she said in defeat. Between Darius essentially cutting her out of his life, residual withdrawal symptoms ailing her, the return of her anxiety, the desperate cravings, and Thiomi constantly being on her case as well as Dantli's stark lack of support... "I gotta fight. I don't got anythin' else."

"That sucks, really. I can tell whatever's happening is taking a toll, but I can't have you here right now. Come back in half a sweep when all this is guaranteed to be over, and it'll be like you never left."

"... Right," she said with a sullen tone and turned around to walk out. The manager watched her go and contemplated saying something but ultimately decided to let her go in silence. What else was there to say? What could he say that would make a difference or make her feel better?

Corali walked back to the street and removed her ATV from her sylladex, hopped on, and drove away. However, she was slower than usual tonight instead of her usual speeding. Her mind and heart was heavy with stress and sadness. However, she wasn't so long in thought that a familiar place didn't catch her eye.

She pulled into the parking lot of "The Crushed Lime Bar" and hopped off her ATV before placing it back into her sylladex and heading toward the door. She'd only been one or two times before; the music was lame and the drinks were watered down. However, just knowing they served alcohol made it feel like she was home.

She paused before entering and pulled out her palmhusk. This was a bad idea, and she should probably call Thiomi or one of the trolls in her Alcoholics Anonymous group to talk her out of it. Instead, she put the device back in her pocket and stepped inside. The smell of cigarette smoke, the sound of the billiards, and the jukebox playing some old country song were like being hugged by an old friend. She walked straight up to the bar and claimed the nearest empty seat and tapped on the counter to get the bartender's attention.

"What'll it be?" they asked as they set down the glass they were polishing.

"Gimme a whiskey shot."

[Book Five Novellas]

Story: 4 out of 5 Smut: 1 out of 5

I forgot how much I loved these couples AND hockey romance.

These stories are supposed to tie up everyone’s stories from the Off-Campus series, but for me all it did was leave me wanting more! How dare Elle Kennedy leave each ”part” as a mini cliffhanger. Especially Hannah and Garrett’s story!

Each “part” made me laugh. A couple left me aggravated, but thankfully the issues were handled fairly quickly. I got so attached to these characters that I hated any drama. I just wanted my babies to be happy haha.

As was the case with the first four books, Elle Kennedy did a fabulous job here. This is one series I will never forget.

Now here are my rambling thoughts…

THE PACT

* Not Logan and Grace role playing at the bar. Holy shit haha.

* Aww. I forgot how much I loved Grace’s dad Tim. He’s such a sweetheart.

* Lmao. A creepy haunted doll? These idiots mail it to each other when they least expect it 😂

* Fuck this puck bunny. I just know this is going to cause issues 🤦🏻‍♀️

* Oh I’m so glad the article took a completely different turn 😂

* Lmao. Stuck on the side of the road during a blizzard? Fuck it out in hopes of keeping warm. That’s the obvious choice, duh.

* “A pact requires the agreement of both parties,” he argues. // “Not when my life is at stake.” I stick my tongue out. “Sorry, babe, but I’m eating your ass whether you like it or not.”

* Wait, what?! How are you gonna end part one like that?! We better get to find out if they eloped or not!!!

THE PROPOSAL

* Aww. Dean’s practicing his proposal on his best friend 😂

* They totally fucking eloped. Logan’s being secretive about that day!

* Oh my god.. Hannah’s queasy?! She’s pregnant!

* Oh no. So Allie doesn’t wanna get engaged right now? but Dean already has the ring!!!

* Logan and Grace did get married!!!! I knew they were the eloped part of this lol.

* And now Hannah’s barfing in the bathroom. Friends episode indeed 😂

* Wow. I’m totally Team Dean in this. My heart hurts for him.

* I’m so happy she saw the error of her ways. And Logan’s dick 😂 Her proposal was sweet.

* “Fuck. I wish I had the ring on me. But it’s at home.” // “Is it big?” // “Huge.” // “How huge?” // “Massive. Even your dad was impressed.” // “You showed your dick to her father?” — 😂😂

* Lmao there’s that creepy doll again. And of course she let the cat out of the bag. Now Dean knows Logan’s married too.

THE HONEYMOON

* Lmao. Oh no. Their flight would have the worst crotchety couple in front of them and then smoke filling the plane. Poor Sabrina and Tuck. All they wanna do is bang each other’s brains out and they ended up with the worst flight ever.

* Lmao. Dean’s such a dick. He would send them the creepy doll on their honeymoon.

* They threw the doll into the ocean. I’m gonna laugh if it winds up back with them somehow.

* “That was for the plane, wasn’t it?” // “I would never.” // “You almost let a man pee on me, Sabrina!” // “That’s how much I love you.” — I love them.

* Awww. Hannah confirmed her pregnancy. But she doesn’t know what she wants to do.

* A coconut knocked her tf out 😂 They’re having such bad luck on this trip.

* Lmfaoooo. The doll fucking returned. I can’t 💀

* And now Tuck got arrested 🤦🏻‍♀️

* Damn. They both got offered jobs in Manhattan. I think they should take them.

THE LEGACY

* Aww. All Garrett wanted was a good night. Now his dad is there handing out an award. Barf.

* Oohhhh. The Legacy is a show. And they want Garrett to do it with his dad. Ouch. I hope he does… and then outs Phil Graham as the abusive asshole he is.

* And now he’s spiraling. Fuck, Hannah is never gonna find a good time to tell him she’s pregnant.

* Oh no. She’s spotting. Please let her be okay. Or freak out enough to go to the hospital and this is where Garrett finds out.

* Goddamn. That interview was not going too well at all. And then Hannah tells Garrett she’s pregnant over voicemail. This day sucks already.

* I’m happy she’s giving him the silent treatment. And now that he’s freaking out because he saw the number she took for a realtor. It’s totally not what he thinks, but this is the kick in the ass he needs.

* Awww. They’re gonna have the baby 🥹

* He’s going to do the interview solo and tell the world what a piece of shit his dad is! Yesssss!

* Lmao. The creepy haunted doll now has a companion and the expecting couple were gifted them 😂 Sabrina and Tucker are such assholes.

* TWINS!!!!! Oh my god. Why did it have to end there 😭

I don't really have a Twitter myself but I saw you were rewatching pripri, and mentioned the movies, the first one is already out (I think it's out as in "you can find it subbed online" if not it's out on japan and will be subbed online soon-ish), but from what I've heard it ends in a bit of cliffhanger, since there will be more of them, so I was thinking of waiting to binge watch them all at once. If I'm not mistaken it's called crown handler and it's about one hour long if you want to check it out yourself

Oohhhh okay!! thanks very much!! i only skim-rewatched some of the anime last night so i dont recall everything, but i'll keep an eye out for the first movie!!

“We should prank him,” Harry spoke up from the opposite end of the couch.

Your head turned to Tom’s brother, furrowing your eyebrows together, “How? You know I’m not getting off of this couch.”

The three of you, and Harrison, were just having a lazy day together. There was constantly a movie playing on the TV,  even if the four of you weren’t paying attention. The closer you got to your due date, the lazier you got, and the less you wanted to do things. And by this point, you were about two weeks away from your due date.

You were currently sat on the couch with Harry, feet kicked up on the coffee table, while Tom and Harrison were in the kitchen, getting some food for all of you. You genuinely didn’t mind hanging out with the boys - they were all the entertainment you needed.

Harry shrugged his shoulders as he set his cup back on the coffee table, “We could, like, pretend you’re going into labor. Just to see how he’d react.”
