A Single Tear Novels & Stories

The tears in Jacklyn's eyes welled up until they blurred her vision. "Eugene… You're the one who upset me."

So Liam can come rushing in like some hero from a book I’ll never be part of. But I don’t take the bait. I step around her and walk back to my room, my spine straight even though everything inside me feels like it’s crumbling. Once inside, I close the door behind me, leaning against it. And then… I slide down. To the floor. Tears escape before I can stop them. Quiet, raw sobs that rise from somewhere deep. Somewhere hollow. God, how much longer can I live like this? I’ve always been alone. No mother. No father. No family photos. No birthday candles. No one who’s ever said they were proud of me.

And also, I'm not a rock to not feel pain. When he finally closed the door, that was the time I let my tears flow like an endless river. I know that crying isn't good for me, but I'll just let myself for now. I don't know how to alleviate this pain anymore. This is the only way I could think of. It hurts. A lot.

Then tears streamed down her stunning face. A gasp escaped Fiona’s lips, and her eyes were wide in disbelief at the cruelty of Preston leaving his new bride alone at Home Affairs. Fiona hugged her best friend tightly with tears brimming in her eyes and said, “I am so sorry, my dearest Brooklyn. Preston doesn’t deserve you. Why didn’t you call me after that heartless man abandoned you? I would have come and picked you up.”

"Now. Close your eyes. Feel the Tear." I did. It was there. Always there. A massive presence in the back of my mind. "Don't fight it," Thea instructed. "Just observe. What does it feel like?" "Cold. Heavy. Like... like drowning in a frozen ocean." "Good. That's your perception of it. The Tear isn't actually cold—you're making it cold because you fear it. Now. Try to feel it differently. What if it wasn't an ocean? What if it was something you could use?"

"Welcome to the Hell, Ella" This is when a lone tear escaped my eye.

My lips dry and tears threatening to fall. "Just leave me alone."

I felt relieved! I smiled, wiping my solitary tear from my left eye that still found its way to come out somehow. However, it was my happy tears, not the other way around. Finally.

What should I do? I gazed heavenwards, just as a single tear ran from my eye.

She sniffed. "Please!" I pleaded again as a single tear trickle down my eye. Geez! I can't believe a tear just came out of my eyes. I can't even remember the last time I saw my own tears. My mind flashed back to the guy I saw Diva with. So this is how bad it hurts...
