A Weekend Alone Novels & Stories

Aubrey My plan to have a night alone failed! When I settled down after my call with Gabe, my friends decided to call and informed me that we were going out tonight. It was the weekend, after all. I was too tired, but they insisted. Now, here I am, getting myself ready for a night of bar hopping and clubbing. I would rather be snuggled up on the sofa with a good book. I could have told them no, but it would not have worked because they would just show up at my door. I love my friends, but they can be a pain in my ass. I know they don’t want me to be boring and alone, but sometimes that is exactly what I want.

It's not like I care. So today, I have a plan with Parrish. Usually, he spent his weekend with Liam, his boyfriend or girlfriend I don't know because I never ask but yeah I always alone when it comes to the weekend. My weekend always ended up alone. Everything I do alone like: Watched movies alone. Eat alone. Walk alone. Laughed alone. Searching for ice cream alone. Jogging alone. And even talk alone. But I still not crazy.

And I usually spend weekends doing short travels around Palermo, trying out things and seeing places I haven’t been to before - alone. I wish I had someone to travel with, but I believe there’s beauty in being single. ‘Really?’ the small voice in my head asked sarcastically. ‘Shut up,’ I sighed and allowed Robbie to serenade me, listing all the positive sides of being single. One, I don’t have to inform anyone of my whereabouts, but there’s also no one worrying where I’d been or if I skipped an important meal of the day. Two, I can travel whenever and wherever I want to go, but I also have no one to share my experiences with, and the cold nights are getting unbearable. The warmth of a human

“Just for a weekend. Clear our heads before the big day.” “Yes,” I said without hesitation. “Let’s get away.” We drove upstate that weekend. A secluded cabin surrounded by trees, with a lake that mirrored the sky. No phones. No meetings. Just us. There, I remembered who I was when I wasn’t being tested. I laughed. I danced in the kitchen with bare feet. I fell asleep tangled in Nathan’s arms, feeling like the world couldn’t touch us. One night, he took my hand as we sat on the porch.

Shit, now I’m giving him the wrong idea. “Great, here’s my phone; you can just type it in.” I type my name and number, hit save, and hand it back to him. “Cool, see you this weekend maybe.” He waves and backs out of the room. When I turn my attention back to the classroom, Daisy and her father are nowhere to be seen. I spend my Friday night on the couch… like every other weekend. I’m usually too exhausted by the end of the week to go out anyway and being that Xana and Ryan are homebodies, I don’t have anyone to go out with.

The long Fourth of July weekend arrived just days later, loud and familiar—kids running down sidewalks with sparklers, neighbors lighting fireworks too early. I hadn’t planned to go out. I told myself I’d just stay home, relax. I was still instinctively craving the quiet, still hesitant to engage in the high-energy social swirl. Then a friend texted: “Come through. It’s just a little get-together. Chill.” Chill. That word was tempting. I was tired of being alone in the quiet. I went anyway.

“Do you wanna go on a vacation? I mean… take a break? Anywhere you want. Just for few days” “Oh, that’s sweet of you. But I can’t do that just yet,” I said quickly. “Thank God tomorrow is Saturday. I’ll just hang out with Mia. It’s been a while since I saw her. I might even spend the weekend at her place.” “A whole weekend?” he frowned, jokingly, though something in his eyes didn’t match his tone. “You want to leave me all alone?” I laughed a little, trying to shake the tension. “It’s just two days, Chard. You’ll survive.”

he answered happily. "Huh? But what about Mommy? She might wonder if she doesn’t see us at home.” "Your mommy has an urgent weekend business trip, so she won't be home either. Then I told her that I would take you camping again so that you would not be alone at home. So let's spend the weekend with just the two of us, baby." “That’s great! It's okay with me, Daddy. If you go camping again, I can always come with you. Aside from the nature around us, I will also relieve your stress.” He laughed. “Why are we going to a hotel?”

Sofia's POV Noah and I have spent the whole weekend passed hold up here, in the pool house of his parents house. We haven't been out even for food, we ordered whenever we needed to eat to avoid going out. We have been completely cut off from everything and everyone, in fact both our phones have been off. And I have to say I love being all alone with him, everything feels easy us being alone.

I would rather not become dependent on another man. Our dates also went back to their previous routine. There were no other exceptions to the days of the week. Now that I don't have to do odd jobs, I have the weekends free. And, I confess: it's boring. Occasionally, I go out with Laura and her friends. Just today, Saturday, I've just come back from a bar. I had a good time. But I can't help thinking about what Brandon does on those nights. Since we don't discuss exclusivity, I wonder if he… Sitting on the sofa, kicking off my sandals, I look out of the window. It's a little after one in the morning. I sigh. I lie down and reach for my cell phone. What if I send a message?
