Between Them Novels & Stories

"You are going to regret this." "Sure. But do you know what I think? I think we are both going to regret it if I do not leave and go to pee right now. We do not want to ruin this nice carpet. Goodbye." Nathan turned around and walked away before she could stop him again. The door closed behind him and he breathed out a sigh of relief.

Elsa blinked, not so sure of what he was doing to do and stared back into his lovely brown eyes. She hadn’t taken note of the colours of his eyes before, but now that they were standing so close to each other, she took the opportunity to. It was then she noticed they weren’t particularly just blue but had a touch of brown or was it green in them. She wasn’t so sure but as the seconds ticked her, she soon found out that that was the least of her worries and would soon be thrown out the window. Eric leaned his head closer to her so that their faces were only but a few inches away.

"Yeah but…she was 'Kathrina's best friend' because now, they're not on good terms. Of a matter of fact, they ceased to be friends since Kathrina's strange disappearance and return. They had a big quarrel and that ended their friendship." "But I thought you said they were inseparable? I mean, you know the kind of relationship Lita and Kathrina shared. They were meant to be bonded together, weren't they?" Xander asked. "Well I thought so until Kathrina's accident back then. Things just changed since that accident, you know," I shrugged. "Well, don't you find it suspicious, or rather, something to garner attention the way they separated. Like, I am literally surprised with what you're telling m

she whispered, her voice barely audible. I nodded, trying to shake off the weight of Liam’s words. “Yeah, you’re right. He’s probably just half-asleep.” We exchanged a glance, but the unspoken tension lingered. The morning had taken an unexpected turn, unraveling layers of our relationship that we hadn’t delved into before. I wondered if Amy felt the same whirlwind of thoughts. Despite our attempts to brush off the gravity of the moment, an unspoken tension settled between us, thickening the air with a palpable sense of unease.

Hailey rolled her eyes and let out a sigh. "Unbelievable," she said. Hailey's roommate did the same. They never had a good relationship with each other during their college days and have always been putting up a front. People call them the two-faced roommates because they were always bitting each other's back but when face to face, they cannot.

Their eyes locked, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still as they regarded each other from across the room. The air between them was thick with unspoken emotions, their connection palpable despite the distance. As they stood frozen in place, the world around them faded away, and all that remained were two people, bound by a complex history and a deep understanding of one another.

Bella I feel like a lost child seeking help, but there's no one out there who could possibly save me. The world looks scarier than it was before, and I see nothing except its dark side. These aren’t just thoughts; they’re my reality. I'm afraid, not only because of Alex's absence but because my baby, who did nothing wrong, might end up living without a father. As I was walking across the silent road, I suddenly lost my balance. I tried to keep myself standing, but I didn’t have the energy. Just when I felt like I was going to completely fall, I suddenly felt the warmth of someone's arms catching me, and then everything went blurry.

I hadn't gone over the fact that it would affect both our families. “Well, you and I both know you’re shit when it comes to relationships, it never lasts long, everyone was surprised when you brought Vee”, she continued. “Okay fine, we’re not breaking up, we’re stuck together for life”, I assured her. “You’ll fix whatever is going on with the both of you? ‘Yes Analissee” “Pinky promise?”, she held out her little finger for me to interlock it with mine. I chuckled, “Okay fine I promise.”

Yet neither of them was brave enough to break the fragile agreement they had made without words. That night, as they left together, they walked side by side down the empty street. The city hummed around them—cars, neon lights, distant laughter—but in their bubble of silence, it felt like the world had narrowed to just the two of them. Their hands brushed once, twice, until finally, his fingers lingered against hers. Not holding, not claiming—just there. Just enough to feel real. Neither spoke. Neither needed to. The unspoken agreement held firm, delicate as glass. Their relationship existed not in declarations but in silences. Not in promises, but in stolen moments. And for now, it was enoug

“Maybe I would have. Back then. But I’m not that guy anymore.” She looked up. “Neither am I.” A moment of silence. Then: “Do you regret it?” he asked. Her breath caught. “Every day. And no days at all.” “I think I understand that.” They sat for a long time. No accusations. No demands. Just two people trying to relearn each other in the spaces pain had left behind. ⸻ Later That Afternoon They drove out to the lake. Adrian didn’t say where they were going, just asked her to come. She didn’t ask why.
