Been A Long Day Without You Novels & Stories

No response. “I miss you. I miss you every day and it’s more painful than I can take. Every time I look at your pictures, I feel as though someone is stabbing my heart with needles. I can’t take it. You being in a place where I cannot see or talk to you just tears me apart and I feel like I’m going to lose my mind.” A single tear fell down my cheek. “Just one more day. One day is what I’m asking for. Let me hold you just for one day and I promise it’s enough for me.”

The scent of his perfume lingered in the air, reminding me of his presence, but now, everything felt empty and cold. The next day had been long and terribly trying, each minute stretching like an eternity. I had been left alone in the room, the heavy silence enveloping me, without a shadow of a return from Varyon. The absence of his presence felt like a burning on my chest, a dull ache that I had tried to ignore, but which persisted, reminding me of how much he was missed.

Bright The house was silent. The echo of my thoughts filled every corner as I paced the hallways, frowning, my heart heavy. A whole day had passed since Sophia and I hadn’t spoken. Twenty-four hours of emptiness, distance, absolute loneliness. Every hour without hearing her voice was a painful reminder of how much I depended on her, how much I longed for her words to comfort me, and how, by her own choice, she had decided not to reach out.

“I missed you too.” “Really? I’m the one who texts and calls first every day. You were only gone for a few days, but it felt like years to me. When you’re not by my side, honey, minutes feel like years. I finally know what they mean when they say even a day feels like three years apart. The pain of longing is unbearable.”

But now, as I stood in the cold silence of my office, I couldn't escape the overwhelming sense of emptiness inside me. The past few days had been a blur. I hadn’t seen Aiden since I made the decision, and that fact alone was eating me alive. He hadn’t said a word to me. No texts, no calls. He had vanished into the silence in his room, and with every passing moment, I felt his absence like a wound that wouldn’t heal.

Now, I knew he was right. “I have lived without you for four thousand days and nights, and I have to be honest, I hated every second of those days. Without you, my life is nothing, Lotte. It’s plain and boring and sad.” I took a deep breath, trying to remember the exact words I had practiced in front of my bathroom mirror a gazillion times before.

I couldn't tell what was wrong, but I really didn't want him to leave. The longest I've stayed without him was a full day…or almost. Three full days didn't sound exciting one bit and it was even less exciting with the thought of where he was going. I shook my head, swallowing the piece of the words I had since I couldn't find a way to explain it. “It's nothing.”

But I couldn't help it. It had been three days since he left for the business meeting in New York. Three long days without him, and despite everything, I couldn’t deny the emptiness I felt when I woke up alone in the morning. I hated that I missed him. I hated how his absence left a gaping hole that nothing seemed to fill.

Anna allowed herself a weak smile. “Come to my place,” Vivian said. “I’m heading back home now.” “Okay. See you soon.” Anna hung up, and for the first time in twenty-four hours, a sense of calm washed over her. What would I do without a friend like Viv?

Anacá I trudged back home after another hectic day at the bakery. It was another day without Eros. For the last few days, I had been living a robotic life with no reason to smile whatsoever. Eros hadn’t contacted me or come over to see me. Had he forgotten me and moved on?
