Books Without Happy Endings Novels & Stories

Deen shrugged, "The main characters in my story hate each other, and I feel a strong urge to leave it like that." Jeff chuckled, "But you can't just leave it like that?" "Yes, I can not." Deen murmured regretfully, "Because this is a romance story, and my romance must end in a Happy Ending." "Why?" "Which one?" "Why should the Happy Ending?" Jeff stared hard at Deen, making Deen a little embarrassed. "Because in real life sometimes Happy Ending is not ours." Deen's memory immediately flew to Cliff and she smiled bitterly, "That's why at least my novel can be a remedy for heart wounds."

Under the influence, but not inebriated. "And," I say, pointing to my chest a second too soon. "I was the best reader out of any Unfortunate in my age group." As he sits in front of me, he smiles and drags his finger across his lip. He rests his ankle on his knee and holds his whiskey over his shin by the glass's rim. "What kind of books do they read in those camps anyway?" I shrug. "A bit of everything. Although, the stories were hard to follow as most of them were missing pages. Some of them, whole chapters had been ripped out."

We went inside the massive room, and she showed me all of her collections before she speaks. "The world is like a huge library that is filled with books. It’s a book that contains everyone's story. Everyone has their story written somewhere in the library. It can be a book of love between two lovers from a distance, an inspirational story of a family, a story of an unbreakable friendship, or the story of a war against long-time enemies. Our stories don't always have a happy endings. Some ends in tragedy and others end with a twist and unexpected turn of events. No matter what is written in our final chapter, it always ends up with a lesson.

As the door shut behind me, their laughter echoed, a stark contrast to the silence of my own heart. The morning after the engagement party, I found myself staring at my phone screen. Chester sent over a plane ticket. Then, another message popped up. [Stay safe out there. I'm waiting for you to come home.] That extra bit of tenderness would have once had me replying in an instant, maybe even saving a screenshot to swoon over later, tucked away in my bed, eagerly anticipating his next caring check-in. However, things changed. I barely gave the message a second glance before I hit delete and walked away, suitcase in hand, without a backward glance.

By noon, the porcelain cracked with a sharp snap when she moved it. Aria muttered, "What the hell…" She cleaned it up slowly, deliberately. Anything to keep her hands moving. To keep her from thinking about how it felt like the whole bookstore was… holding its breath. She wandered into the back aisles. The mythology section was a mess — again. Probably some college kid hunting for ancient conspiracies to turn into a thesis. Her fingers skimmed the titles. Worn, faded, some crumbling at the spine. One caught her eye. Legends of the End Times.

"It's not my fault, I love the book." "I am not a fan of it." "You love romantic books, you have always loved them." "I love happy endings. All love stories should have happy endings. Isn't that what love is about?" "The greatest love stories don't have happy endings though. The fault in our stars is another example." "Pride and prejudice gave Elizabeth and Mr Dacey a happy ending," Emma said. "Anna kareanin was bittersweet though." "Romance novels deserve happy endings only, I can't take the heartbreaks that happen at the end. Love is sweet, so why suffer for it."

This time, I would be happier. A week later, I walked into the event hall with Anthony. The moment I stepped inside, however, I saw Cyrus. My feet were instantly frozen to the ground, unable to move. Anthony held my arm and pulled me forward, whispering into my ear, “If you don’t cast away the shadows of your past completely, they’ll just come back to haunt you later.” I turned and met his gaze. His eyes were firm and warm, giving me strength. I took a deep breath and squeezed his arm with a smile. “Do I look good like this? Can you tell I’ve started over with a fresh slate?”

The old man closed his eyes one final time, his family wept, and the e book closed gently. Nova wiped away tears. "It ended." The First Memory nodded. "Yes." "But it was beautiful." Another nod. "Because it ended." Nova frowned. "I don't understand." The First Memory picked up another book, this one never closed, its pages repeated endlessly. The same family, the same meal, the same laughter again and again, nothing changed, no one aged, no one grew or even learned. The smiles slowly became empty, the laughter became hollow, the family stopped speaking. Not because they were unhappy, because nothing new could ever happen.
