I need to write. I might do a few of these.
Cross is Alex. Nightmare is Angelica. Dream is Eliza. Ink is Jefferson.

Cross cross his arms and layed on his desk. 'I am so stupid.' He cheated on Dream. Broke any trust he had with his family and his life. WHAT KIND OF FATHER WAS HE. He looked at his quill. "I will write myself out of this hurricane."

-Nightmare's POV-

I lean against the door. I was going to deny any love I had for him. I can't believe it. After all these years.... that doesn't matter. I walk in Cross's office.

"NIGHTMARE." He says half heartedly.

I hug him. I grab his shirt and whisper. "CONGRATULATIONS."

He falls back, tears stream down both of our faces.

After a moment of silence I speak, "You have invented a new kind of stupid. A damage you can never undo- kind of stupid." I walk up to him, he's still on the ground. "An open cages in the zoo- KIND OF STUPID." My voice picks up. I go quiet. "Let's review." My eye starts to glow.

"You took a rumor, a few maybe two people knew about and refuted it by sharing an affair no ONE HAS ACCUSED YOU. I BEG YOU TO TAKE A BREAK YOU REFUSED TOO."

He stands up, he's about to say something, I cut him off. "I BEGGED YOU TOO TAKE A BREAK. YOU REFUSED TOO." He grabs my arm. He looks hurt. I don't care, I'm trembling.

I push him away from me; I point a finger at him. "So scared what your enemies might do to you- You're the only enemy you seem to lose too!" I push him against his desk. I'm trying to say strong. "You know why Ink gets what he wants......

He doesn't dignify childhood taunts with a response."

He pushes me back. "SO YEAH! CONGRATULATIONS."

He starts to speak through gritted teeth, "Nightmare....."

"YOU HAVE REDEFINED YOUR LEGACY."

"IT WAS AN ACT OF SACRIFICE."

I stare dumbfounded, "Sacrifice?" I chuckle. "I languished in a loveless marriage with Killer, I lived only to see your letters."

I turn my head away," I look at you and think 'What have we done with our lives and where did it get us'." I started to raise my voice again. "That doesn't wipe the years or the tears away, and now I'm back in the city and I'm here to stay, and you know what I'm here to do?"

"Nighty..."  Cross stares at me with regret. I smack his face.

"I'm not here for you." I pace around. "I know my brother like I know my own mind you will never find anyone as trusting or as kind."

I start to cry, "And a million years ago he said to me 'this ones mine.' So I stood by." Cross is shocked. "Do you know why?" I laugh through the tears. "I LOVE MY BROTHER MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THIS LIFE I WILL CHOOSE HIS HAPPINESS OVER MINE EVERYTIME!" I laugh. "DREAM IS THE BEST THING IN OUR LIFE. SO NEVER LOSE SIGHT THAT YOU HAVE THE BEST HUSBAND."

Cross stops my pacing. He hugs me. "Congratulations." I cry into his shoulder.

I know I cut it short but still, I had to end on an angsty note. I usually don't write songs into my writing, but I just had an idea.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Here's the song. I'm putting another song so this isn't to cringy.

I've been trying to update, I was sick and had no motivation to write. I'm working on a few drafts for this.

Well adieu.
