A Summer Without You Novels & Stories

I’m coming home soon. By 8 PM, desperation crept in: 【Summer, why can’t I reach you?】 【Where are you and Felix? Please, just reply. I’m worried.】 By 10 PM, the mask came off: 【Summer, I really messed up. Don’t ignore me, please. I can explain everything…】 【Come home. I can’t live without you... without Felix.】 Voice messages flooded W******p, each one a full 60 seconds long—like they were trying to drag me back from the edge I was finally escaping.

She had finally given her deepest love to someone who truly deserved it. Outside, the black sedan had slipped away at some point without anyone noticing. All it left behind was a patch of cigarette ash dissolving in the rain. Reid drove into the endless dark. The passenger seat beside him was empty except for a single Argentina jersey in faded blue and white, washed out and long since outdated, lying there in silence. He finally understood that he had completely lost the game he was playing, the one about youth and football and love, on that night four years ago. There was nothing left to win back.

I’d rather die than live without her. I shifted and went for a run. A run would take the load off my shoulders, and I didn’t have the courage to have the conversation with Summer. She would kick my ass but I wouldn’t change my mind. I ended up spending hours out there. I smelt a foreign scent and spent more time tracking it. Ultimately, my efforts to locate the foreign scent were fruitless. I decided to return to the cabin when the afternoon sun hung heavy on my head. I found Summer sitting on the porch with her head in her hands and her elbows on her thighs. She wore a short blue dress, and her soft wavy hair blew in the wind. I felt like dick. I left her alone all day.

"For meeting? How long?" "Ren, I'm thinking of bringing you with me." He stopped scrolling, halting in the middle of a digital book he saved to read. "Sure. How long?" She went silent for a while. "For summer. I have meetings to do at home. Most of them couldn't come to Canada and Japan seems to be our main place." "Okay. I'll tell Noah." "Preliminaries start in summer in Japan. If we are unable to attend, you can stay a little longer to see the start of the Spring Tournament."

Looking at the peaceful night sky through the window, it seemed as if a layer of dark fog had covered it. The stars weren’t visible, and only the gloomy, suffocating night sky remained. Ullysis turned and walked over to the display case, retrieving a bottle of red wine. He opened the bottle and swallowed a mouthful, not bothering to air the red wine first. This was his attempt to quell the frustration and anxiety within him. He sat down on a sofa by the window and tried to recall his intimate moments with Shantal. He desperately needed it to calm the panic and sense of crisis he felt about Roy. However, he realized that no matter how hard he tried to recall those romantic and intimate moment

We grab our sodas, and as we step back onto the boardwalk, the sun dipping lower behind the horizon, I can’t help but think that summer is just beginning—and I have no idea what it’s going to bring. But one thing is certain. Gavin hasn’t stopped affecting me, and Eben… Eben is just as dangerously magnetic as ever. Summer has a way of changing everything. The sun dips lower, casting the pier in molten gold, the waves lapping rhythmically below. Josh and Gemma are still splashing around, and I’m walking beside Gavin, surfboard tucked under his arm. The quiet between us feels loaded, and I’m just about to break it when Eben’s voice cuts through.

With just seven days left until the college entrance exam, the high school's PA system suddenly crackled to life during the morning break. “My name is Lily Smith. I’m a senior. Before I graduate, I’d like to confess my feelings to my crush.” Inside the classroom, every eye instantly locked onto Jack. The room exploded into rowdy cheers and teasing. Jack felt his face burn as his heart hammered against his ribs. After all, he had spent three whole years cracking jokes to help his childhood friend, Lily, overcome the deep dark pit of her depression. On her eighteenth birthday, she had even initiated their first kiss. “You were the light that pulled me out of the darkness. I hope that once

✧FAITH ZEICAN LEE✧ I’ve been restless for a while now, constantly glancing at my phone. I’m waiting for Summer to message me and let me know if she has succeeded in borrowing Poppy from her parents. She didn’t want any of us—Love, Hope, or myself—to go with her, thinking it might make it even harder for Poppy to be allowed out. She always jokes with Hope, calling him the ultimate jinx. And since Aunt Baby is out of the country, Summer’s doing this on her own. Aunt Baby and Chloe left for Singapore just the other day.

“Have you seen her?” “I saw Emma upstairs, but not Summer. Do you want me to look for her?” I shook my head. “No, thank you.” It was weird. And very odd for Summer to vanish from the party she was hosting, especially for her favourite holiday. I hoped she was okay wherever she was. Feeling the little vibration of my phone in the pocket of my little purse, I walked into the corner of the back room, excusing Cinderella making out with a Ninja Turtle. “Hello?”

’ Adrian furrowed his brows, and his gaze was profound as he looked at Summer. Summer had neither relatives nor friends in Sea City, and they were not even able to investigate her identity. Why would anyone have a reason to go after her? “Little thing, what on earth is your actual identity?” Adrian walked upstairs with Summer as he held the nutritional supplements. “Do you know those two people?” he asked meaningfully. “N-no.” Summer looked like a torn ragdoll that had lost its soul. She kept shaking her head as she sat on the couch. “Don’t go outside if there’s nothing important.” Adrian warned her and went to the kitchen.
