But I Crumble Completely When You Cry Novels & Stories

AMBROSE I know myself and I know for a fact that I don’t cry, not because crying is for the weak but because I like to think that I’m tough enough and that I can take a lot of things without resulting to a pitiful break down. However, after how everything had piled up unexpectedly, tonight’s going to be a whole different story for me. Tears just began cascading down on my cheeks giving me this notion that I’ve reached my limit. I don’t even know I have a limit in the first place, but tonight was a ballooning testament that I can only take certain things at once.

My world was crumbling and I was watching it fall apart. “Please don’t leave me, I just found you” I whispered. A single water dropped from my eyes.

Chapter 2: Unveiling the Truth I walked into my apartment, feeling like the weight of the world had collapsed on me. The walls of my life were crumbling—James, work, everything. The memory of getting fired flashed through my mind, followed by the cruel end to my relationship with James. Everything was spiraling out of control, and all I could do was blink back the tears. But it was too much. The dam broke, and the tears came flooding out, falling like raindrops onto the floor.

I muttered, biting back tears as I sat there helplessly, my chest rising and falling in shaky breaths, the sting in my waist refusing to ease. I let the frustration pour out in hot tears. “God… just when I thought I could start this day peaceful for once…” My voice cracked as I buried my face in my hands, crying quietly. “Ma?” Collin’s worried voice drifted through the door again. “Are you sure everything is okay? I can hear you crying in there.” I pressed my lips together, not wanting him to hear how broken I felt. Still, the truth slipped out in a trembling whisper, “I… I don’t know, Collin. I can’t… I can’t really stand.”

FLASHBACK! I looked at the papers placed on the table with tears rolling in my eyes, I glanced at the pen and the people standing in front of me. I didn't know what to say! What to ask! My heart broke in a million parts and the pain was unbearable. Sometimes the pain crushes you- it leaves you incapable of everything. It leaves you broken- in and out. The tears won't roll down, and the screams won't escape past your quivering lips, this is what happens to me right now.

And now he's gone, leaving me alone and broken. I sink to the ground, unable to stand. Tears stream down my face, blurring my vision. I clutch my chest, trying to ease the ache. But it's useless. Nothing can fill the void he has left in me. Nothing can make me whole again. I'm shattered, like a glass vase that has fallen from a great height. I can't be fixed, I can't be saved. I'm doomed to live in this misery, this emptiness, this darkness.

The tears mist my eyes, my throat swelling so I almost can’t breathe as ache hits me low in the gut and threatens to make me crumble. I push the note back inside quickly, trying to combat it and flick through the cash, mentally counting almost two hundred dollars and it breaks the wall that’s been holding in the tears. I slump down onto the floor, like a disheveled sack and begin to cry, holding it close to my chest and completely break down. It’s not just for this, but for everything.

‘You were just a good fuck, nothing more. The last shred of light inside me vanished completely, replaced by desolation and raw pain. And finally, I broke down in tears. Pained, heart-rending sobs tore out of me as tears rained down my face, the salty teardrops a testament to a fragile heart dashed like glass against rock. ~

And then she breaks. The sobs hit her body so violently I can see the tremors even from this distance. Her shoulders shake. Her back curls inward. Her head drops against her knees as she cries like something inside her has shattered completely. My vision blurs instantly. A tear slips down my cheek before I even realize it’s there. It slides slowly down my skin, warm and silent. “Damn it…” I whisper hoarsely. My chest feels like it’s being ripped open from the inside. Lucian’s voice is fierce now.

🦋 NIKITA 🦋 Crying became an anthem and fear became a close friend, I still sat in one corner, fighting a battle between my mental health and physical health. A memory of Reyna being killed by Benita flashed through my mind again, and I buried my head deeper between my laps, trembling. I felt as if I was hit by a tidal wave, my emotions crashing down on me like an unrelenting storm. Tears streamed down my face, hot and bitter, as I wept uncontrollably.
