All We Need Is Someone To Lean On Novels & Stories

The three words I had never said to another human being. "That's what I couldn't say before," I admitted. "I need you, Aria." Her expression softened, filled with understanding. "I need your strength when I'm weak," I told her. "I need your optimism when I'm cynical. I need your love when I feel unlovable." "I need you too," she whispered. "You do?" "I need your stability when I'm chaotic," she said. "I need your confidence when I doubt myself. And I need your love when my family makes me feel worthless."

Joel was washing her underwear on the live stream while Michael massaged her lower belly. She let out soft hums while her cheeks flushed with just the right shade of pink. The comments were flooding in. "Damn, this girl's living good. Let me take her place for a couple of days!" "Both the older and younger brother are into her, huh? Rachel, which one do you want?" "She's an adult. Obviously, she wants both!" Rachel bit her lip and glanced at the two of them. "I'm so useless. It's just my period, and I still need you two to take care of me."

They are going to talk about you, gossip about everything, and they won't care if you hear it," Shane says with a severe expression on his face as we sit on the green grass of the forest outside the tent. "I really don't care about them anymore. Or anyone for that matter. I don't care about what they say," I tell him. "You know after all that I have been through, if there is one thing that I have learnt, then it is that when hard times come, you are all that you have -only yourself. Everyone ceases to help you, your parents, your friends, your partner. Everyone. Regardless of whether they wanted to help or not. You are only one who can drag yourself up from the dark abyss that you are into b

"Of course I'll help you! But that bastard needs to be taught some lesson!" "We need the police," Ella intervened. "Leave everything to me," Neil said. We get inside his car. I don't know where he's taking us but I'll just trust Neil for now. This is actually a first time that I become dependent to others. Sometimes, we also need to reach out to others. I am an introvert, I don't care about the outside world, the real world. But if someone like me interacts with the real world, I'll realize that being alone is not easy. Take today as an example. Someone tried to kill us and I know if I'm alone, I won't be able to survive.

Like we didn’t need to fill the space with words to understand what the other was feeling. “You don’t have to do this alone, you know,” I said quietly. “You’ve got people who care about you. Who want to help.” Ethan let out a soft laugh, the sound tinged with disbelief. “I’m not used to leaning on anyone. It’s not... who I am.” “Well,” I said, offering him a small smile, “maybe it’s time to start.” He looked at me then, his eyes meeting mine, and for a moment, I felt like the rest of the world had faded away. There was something raw and unguarded in his expression, something that made my chest tighten.

Someone he hurt be over. What sucks is I have no one to talk to, to make me feel okay. No one at all. Not even mom. I’m all alone. The tears which hung on my eyelids fall down the sides of my face. If only there was one person who loved and cared about me, one person I could lean on. . . . life would be bearable. Just one person who makes living worthwhile. My eyes open and I stare at the ceiling. One person who’d let me know that I’m living and not surviving, not just existing.

It felt like we were in our own little world, free from the pressures of work and responsibilities. One evening, as we sat by the lake watching the sun dip below the horizon, Adrian took my hand. “You know,” he said, his voice soft, “this whole experience has taught me something important.” “What’s that?” “That I don’t have to do everything on my own. Whether it’s at work or in life, I’ve learned that it’s okay to lean on the people you trust. And you, Isla—you’ve been my rock through all of this. I couldn’t have gotten here without you.”

“Even with everything going on in your life, Marley, you still try to do everything by yourself. You still haven’t learned that you’re allowed to rely on other people.” “Rely on other people…” I repeated almost absentmindedly. She made a valid point. When I thought of all the people I could lean on, one person leaped out in my mind before everyone, even before Lana and Paulette. Maybe Jack could make it to town a little bit earlier.

“Like asking for help would somehow make you smaller.” I swallowed. “I’m fine.” He shook his head, just once. “I know you are. But I don’t want you to always have to be.” His hand brushed mine again, slower this time, giving me the chance to pull away. I didn’t. “I like you,” he simply said. “And if you let me, I want to be someone you lean on. Even just a little.” The city noise faded, and for the first time in a long while, the idea of not standing alone didn’t feel terrifying.

“I don’t have anything.” Shame flushed my face. The tears wouldn’t stop. Aria rose slowly, then came around the desk and crouched in front of me. She didn’t tell me I was strong. She didn’t feed me pretty lies about fate or bonds. She just took my hands in hers and held them tight. “You don’t need everything,” she said, voice low but steady. “You just need to keep going. One shift. One bill. One day at a time. And you’re not alone, Liv. You’ve got me. You’ll always have me.”
