Novel & Cerita All He Did Was Step Back

he said, his voice lower than before, “he won’t get back up again.” I stepped back without thinking, and the sound of my foot made him turn. Our eyes met.

"Let's end this once and all. You want freedom, right? I will give it to you." My gaze traveled along with him as he kept walking backwards near the road behind him. My lips parted and eyes widened in shock, realizing what he was trying to do. No, he couldn't do that, right? But instead he kept walking backwards with a painful smile on his face. NO!!!

That was the clearest answer she had given so far. And it stayed with him. Because for the first time… he understood what he needed to do. Not think. Not explain. Not wait. Act. He nodded once more. Then stepped back slightly. “I should go,” he said. Ariana nodded. “Okay.” He walked to the door. Then paused. Turned back. Not dramatically. Just enough. “I meant what I said,” he added. Ariana held his gaze. “I know,” she replied. And this time…

Just leave. He stepped back. "Leave." I said curtly.

“No. That will be all.” With that he stood up and walked out, not glancing back even once. Okay. That was kinda creepy.

Furthermore, I took up the ladle and set it in front of him. “When you step closer, it will hit you again!” I'm not sure why I'm backing away from him. He, on the other hand, had a serious expression on his face and did not hesitate to approach. As I stepped back, I was unaware that my back had collided with the table. He was already getting close to me.

He smiled sweetly at me before taking a sip from my cup and then he walking away like the way he walked in, taking another sip from the cup on his way. You wanna play? Let's play... I let go of the breathe I didn't realize I was holding as I stared at his retiring back towards his room. My mind keep screaming one line over and over again. What have I done? ________________________________

The way his body angled not fully toward me. Something wasn’t right. But it wasn’t enough. Not enough to rewrite what I already knew. This is the night, I reminded myself. This is how it happens. He stepped back slightly. “I’ll be right back,” he said. I nodded. Of course. That was how it happened too. He disappeared into the crowd. And I was left standing there exactly like before. Waiting. Before I could think too much about it, a voice carried through the room. “Ladies and gentlemen—”

It was working. “Let her go,” he uttered. I was shaking. “Wow, is this really happening?” I thought. I nearly asked him to repeat himself as I didn't expect it to be that easy, but I remembered I had gotten this and I wouldn't ruin it. The next solution was to walk backward towards the door. “One step, even a flinch of your muscles and I will…” I growled What would I do? I found myself thinking. This has better turn out good.

"I think you should leave" "No" "Why? Why do you keep saying no? "That's because I want to say no and I'm not leaving" "Why are you not leaving? "That's because...I .." he took a step closer "want" he took another step closer and I immediately took a step back "to..." He took a step closer and I took a step back. "Be..." He took a step closer and I took another step back and that was the last step as I had hit the bed. "With.." he took a step closer. "You" he took the last step and he was close to me...and I fell back immediately on the bed.
