Another Word For Desperate Novels & Stories

I said, trying to hide my desperation to get away. “Come on in.”

Words turned into breath, into tension, into something that burned just as hard but felt entirely different. It wasn’t soft. It wasn’t slow. It was desperate in a way that matched everything else about this world now... too much, too fast, like we were both trying to prove something neither of us would say out loud…

More desperate. But still buried. Still trapped. Still waiting. For her moment. For her chance. For something. Anything. To break free.

"You're just desperate. There's a difference." "Theo—" "A big difference‚ actually." He cut me off without raising his voice‚ which was somehow worse than if he'd shouted. "Blind means you couldn't see. Desperate means you're choosing to see whatever makes you feel better about what you did. Those aren't the same thing." My jaw clenched so hard my teeth ached.

How could I not think of what I thought I had forgotten? “I know you are pissed, but please hear me out.” She pleaded, desperation thick in every word she spoke. She was desperate. Desperate to explain something I might never get to understand. Desperate to clear things up, but that might only make things complicated. Her hands held mine, as her eyes shone with unshed tears - my gaze fell on her. A desperate attempt at making me listen, but it didn't; rather, it made me angrier. “Hear you out? What exactly do you want to tell me, huh? How you fucked a guy who is hell-bent on making me suffer?” I spat.

That crushing desperation flooded me all over again, especially when my phone wouldn’t even turn back on. “What the hell is all this, damn it?!”

He was now reduced to pleading. "I doubt you really know the definition of the word care. You know what? I'll make this easy for you. Stay away from me and I'll be sure to keep my distance off you. Sounds fair?" "You don't understand. As long as I'm anywhere near you, he will find you and make mincemeat out of your skin and bones," the desperation in his voice matched the one in his eyes. Against my instincts, I sighed making an in the moment decision. "Who will find me?" A conflicted look crossed his eyes.

"Do you know what to call a slap that lands on your face? It's called a slap for a desperate." "Desperate, my ass. On the two of us, you're the desperate one. Desperate to make Denver fall in love with you no matter how many times he turns his back on you. Do you know where Denver goes after he turns his back on you? To me, Sandra. To me, because he deserves me better that you." "Oh, really?" Madame Madelle said then laugh afterwards. 'Ah, I might high blood.' "You too." Abby look at her. "After you couldn't attract my uncle, you attracted Anthony. Because you're desperate to make money. How come you were just a mustard seller outside the mall then."

because it did. Desperation took hold of me as I reached the back door of the house. My hands trembled as I struggled with the lock, but it stubbornly refused to open. I pounded on the door, my voice filled with desperation as I begged for someone to let me in. Before me, a fierce battle raged, with blood being spilled in every direction. Time was running out. It wouldn't be long before someone noticed me and I became another target in this brutal conflict.
