A World Without You Novels & Stories

A world without Slade was a wrong world. How would we live in it? How could we? How could we live in a world without Slade? I don’t know how long I cried for. But I cried until there were no more tears left to cry. I sobbed until my throat hurt and exhaustion set in. Astrid held me the whole time, in that stupid little cave. She held me until I cried myself to sleep. Even though I didn’t want to sleep. Because I didn’t want to wake up… In a world without Slade.

She is my entire world. “I have gone crazy without you. You know, I forgot how I used to be before you and honestly, I don’t even want to remember. I want you in my life till my last breath, so I don’t mind not knowing what to do without you.” I chuckle a little as I talk.

Without you, I'm just a sad song. I'm just a sad song. With you I fall. It's like I'm leaving all my past in silhouettes upon the wall. With you I'm a beautiful mess. It's like we're standing hand in hand with all our fears upon the edge. So stop time right here in the moonlight, 'Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes. Without you, I feel broke. Like I'm half of a whole. Without you, I've got no hand to hold.

“How do I…get through one night without you….If I had to live with you..what kind of life would that be…oooh…I…I need you in my arms, need you to hold….you’re my world ,my heart, my soul….and if you ever leave…baby, you would take away everything good in my life…and tell me now….how do I live without you…I want to know….How do I breathe without…if you ever go…..how do i ever….ever survive….how do I…how do I….oh how do I live…” She began to frost the cake and got lost in the song “Without you….there’d be no sun in my sky…there would be no love in my life…there’d be no world left for me…and I…baby I don’t know what I would do…I’d be lost if I lost you…if you ever leave….baby, you would take aw

"Give me one more chance… I've already sent Demi abroad. If you come back with me, we can start over…" "You can't go back," I cut him off. "Everyone only gets three chances to cross between worlds. You've used all of yours." The color drained from his face. He went still, like something had locked around his throat. "That's impossible… You're lying…" "If you don't believe me, go try." Before I finished, he was already on his feet. He stumbled out into the night, chasing something that no longer existed. After that, Liam never showed up in my life again.

It’s quiet because there are almost no people here by the sea. Right? If the world was ending You’d come over, right? Right? “Wait, what’s that?” Our other companion asked, so I looked at them and widened my eyes, but they just grinned even more and raised their hands. “We’re in, so we can move on from the player.” The sky’d be falling and I’d hold you tight And there wouldn’t be a reason why We would even have to say goodbye If the world was ending You’d come over, right?

The woman above them smiled. “Too late.” The sky opened again. But this time, nothing came through. Instead, the world itself began disappearing. Buildings vanished. Mountains vanished. The battlefield vanished beneath their feet. Adrian looked around. “What is happening?” The Guardian roared. “She is removing the world.” Elena stared at the woman. “Why?” “Because if there is no world…” The woman smiled. “…there is nothing left for you to protect.” Elena looked around in horror.

THE WORLD BETWEEN The world did not end. That was the first thing Jae noticed. There was no explosion. No fire. No screaming. Instead— everything stopped. Cars froze in the middle of roads. Birds hung motionless in the air. Rain stopped before touching the ground. People became statues. For one impossible moment, Earth existed without time. Except for five people. Jae. Hazel. Claire. Miyan. And somewhere far away— the man with Jae's face.

“World after world. Death after death. Watching people leave, or break, or be taken. You can stop.” My throat worked. “Stop and… what?” I asked. My voice came out thinner than I wanted. “Hang out with your… premium subscription version forever?” His smile didn’t falter. “Stay with me in here,” he said. “We’ll build worlds just for us. No game. No deaths. No bus full of strangers waiting for you to save them every time you breathe. Just… you, and me, and stories that end when we decide they do.” He said it like it was simple.

“This is no longer our world.” The First Mother nodded. “It belongs to them now.” The First Creator looked toward Aria. “And what will you call it?” Aria looked around. A world without kings. Without forced bloodlines. Without ancient rulers deciding everyone's future. She looked at Kael. Then at the child. “The Free World.” The First Creator smiled. “Then let it begin.” The light around him grew brighter. His form slowly disappeared. The First Queen watched him vanish. “Will he return?” The First Mother shook her head.
