Chapter 2.3: Death Race

Last time:  Ruby completed her degree, made a best-friend (Norma) and whoohooed with her crush, Kyle.

Ruby had finally returned to her home in Starlight Shores after her adventure at university.  Ruby was lucky to have experienced many of life's first at university and she will never forget them.  

Mainly the boy who will forever be in her heart: Kyle.

She had not seen her father Seth in ages and could not wait to explain to him what uni life was like, not to mention the new degree she obtained.  

There was one major change at home that she noticed.

Willow had moved out.  She was now a young adult and decided to leave home while Ruby was away.  She decided to move to the even bigger city--Sim City to try and make it as an actress as she was such a Diva.

 Brand also had grown into a teen.  He was a bit of a loner at school and because of this he drowned himself into video games.

Celeste--Ruby's mother--also reached the top of her architectural designer career while she was gone and obtained the key to the city from the Mayor.  She also completed her life time want of becoming a Illustrious Author.

Seeing her mother succeed made Ruby finalized her new life's ambition as being a Jack of All Trades.

Now that they had both completed what they had wanted in life both Seth and Celeste retired and found other things in life to share together, such as video games.  They were very competitive, but Celeste normally won.

While she had not found a job yet Ruby had tones of spare time to do things.  She competed in the pie eating contest at the annual fall fair.  She ended up winning.

She also spent a large amount of time designing and setting up her room.  She hung up all her prizes and photos of her best friend Norma--who she missed everyday.

One day Ruby was laying on the spare bed reading a horror classic when the door bell rang.

There was a man out the front, he was familiar but Ruby could not place him.

 Ruby greeted the man who told her his name was Jacob, he went to university with her.

Ruby instantly remembered him, not from his good looks but as he was one of Kyle's frat house room mates.

 After some small talk and some catching up, and Ruby also casually asking Jacob if he was married. Ruby asked him finally why he was here.

 Jacob said it had to do with Kyle and how much she meant to him.  Jacob continued to be cryptic.

Ruby was tired of Jacob beating around the bush, she invited him inside and told him to tell her what he had come here to tell her.

And that's when he said it.  Kyle had died.

 
Ruby ran up the stairs she could not believe what she was hearing.  She insisted Jacob tell her why he came all the way to Starlight Shore to tell her this.  Jacob said that Kyle had not stopped talking about her and said that he would one day ask her on a proper date.  This crushed Ruby.  She had never felt so much pain in her life.

Ruby fell into Jacobs arms and cried her heart out.  Jacob tried to comfort her and stay as strong as he could but he also was feeling deeply upset and shed a tear as well.

For the rest of the night Jacob stayed by Ruby and comforted her.  They talked about everything throughout the night and released how much they had in common. Even though the news was heartbreaking to Ruby having Jacob around made it better.  He was such as nice guy to do this, even when he didn't have to.

 After the shocking breakthrough of events Ruby needed her best friend Norma.

But little did Ruby know that things were about to get worse.

 Celeste, after having a fantastic 92-year run had died in the living room playing a video game (which she lived)

 Death and finally come for the founder of the Silverset legacy.

Ruby felt so many emotions after the mothers death, and took it as best as she could.  She wondered when something good would happen to her.

Seth was distort and Brand comforted him at the funeral.

Surprisingly, a few days later Jacob visited Ruby and brought her a bunch of flowers, as he had heard about the passing of her mother. 

Little did Ruby know that this was the start of something new and the good thing she had been waiting for was about to happen.

 Jacob and Ruby started to hangout all the time.  They enjoyed dinners...

 ...went ice skating and danced on the ice...

 ...brought each other presents and...

...Jacob even he Ruby sketch him naked!

Ruby was happy, not only because she had a new model but because Jacob had a good body.

It was one day while the two were watching a rom-com that Ruby finally made a move and put her arm around him.

Jacob took this as a sign and gave Ruby a kiss.

The two where then and there officially a couple.

Next time:  How will Ruby and Jacobs relationship continue?  Will Ruby finally find a job/career?  Is Seth on his last legs know that his wife had passed?
