As Soon As My Heart Stops Breaking Novels & Stories

I lay there alone in a bed that was far too big and lonely. I was already used to having bodies, touching hands, arms wrapped around me, and the sound of breathing. Now there was silence. And a dull ache in my chest. They made me and broke me just as Simon had done. At this point I knew I was only the one week fling but God it hurt Before dawn and before either of them could start their shifts, I packed my shit and checked out of the hotel.

The moment she said, “I don’t love you,” I felt the heart that was previously happy inside of me crack. It didn’t give a dramatic sound like the shatter of glass, but the quiet, brutal kind of break you only feel in your chest when the air suddenly refuses to move through your lungs due to external forces caused by an unpalatable situation.

The tightness in my chest was indescribable. Of all times, why did someone like him show up when my heart had been shattered? I couldn't give him any promises. The last nine years had worn down my ability to love someone. Would I step into another relationship just to be let down again? Promises were only meaningful when there was love. I couldn't give empty promises like Tyler. Fortunately, nothing had happened between Matthias and I yet. All we shared was that kiss on the night that I was drunk.

Because once when I'm alone this is me. The foolish, Stupid Broken Adassah. Who does nothing about her broken heart but to cry in pain again and again.

"And I won't be waiting for you when you open your eyes as it'll be too late for justifying common sense." The cruelty of life is that a heart can keep beating even after being broken in two. It can feel like it is being gripped in an ice-cold vice and ache as if it will implode in your chest, but the boom-boom continues. "We want you to be happy. I will go to make the arrangements. It would be best to say yes to Mr. King," said my parents, walking away, leaving me alone. I stood silent for a moment before dropping like a broken branch. The silence seemed to kill me as my heart broke into a million pieces. My life broke up like some great river's ice at the touch of spring. What do I do now?

Making it to the doorway, my heart drops to my feet as I see his heart rate flat line. "Someone fucking do something!!!!" I screech. "Don't just stand there. Someone... DO SOMETHING!!" I cry. I can feel the bond withering away, like ashes being swept into the wind.. My heart is constricting, my breathing feels like it could stop any second.

“My Dad said to me, ‘’Nothing is so broken that it can't be fixed.’ I believe I can mend your broken heart with my love and care.” My heart stopped and my whole body got stiff hearing his words. I just wanted to die at that moment. Otherwise, I want the earth to swallow me. Gathering all my courage I turned to face him and I heard something shatter inside. It was my heart that shattered into pieces when my eyes met his teary eyes. Tears were streaming down his eyes. And I felt my heart wailing in agony. Sorry, Zion……

She paused. Inhaling a soft breath, Crystal nodded. "Yes, sometimes literally the death of our heart occurs, but it's for a limited time. Our hearts don't stop beating even for a second. If it stopped beating, we'll be expired. When people feel sad, they'll be immersed in the word 'sad.' If we want to overcome it, all we have to do is to forget the words which make us sad, which makes us think."

Jordan said, causing everyone to laugh, as Brooklyn went ahead to switch off the lights. Just then, the movie began, and Micheal wrapped his arm on my shoulder as my back rested on his body. Ha. I hope this moment is going to last forever and ever. I never want this peace to end. … Author Tina Nwuba: “And this is it, readers. We have come to the end of, “Don't Break My Heart”. Don't forget to check out my other books. And thanks for all your support”.

Because somehow I know deep inside, what his words could do to my fragile heart and my messed up mind. “Elizabeth, you’re priceless.” They said it’s not the fall that kills; it’s the abrupt halt at the end. And dammit, I don’t know what to do. •••
