Novel & Cerita But Nobody Came

But he didn’t come to me. Didn’t knock. Didn’t text. Didn’t explain. Just returned like a ghost. I don’t go outside. I grab my glass of juice and head upstairs instead.

Ten minutes later, William rushed breathlessly into the empty banquet hall. William almost lost his balance, grabbed a waiter, and asked with a trembling voice, "Where is everyone in this room?" The waiter was startled by his expression and stammered: "The, the bride hasn't arrived! We also found it strange, the groom hasn't come either. And no one of the family and friends' seats has arrived!" "Where are the woman's relatives and friends?" William asked again, unwilling to give up.

Something is amiss. I stepped out on the porch, trying to rid myself of the sense of dread that was creeping into my bones. The air was crisp, the sky was blue, but still no activity. No one had called to see me, no one had called to talk. It wasn't typical. There should at least be two or three members who drop in this time of day, bringing in their news, their report. But this time, nothing came. The pack was poised in expectation, looking for something to happen.

No check-ins. Nothing. It’s like he vanished with them, leaving me to stew in my thoughts. My brain keeps spinning the same web of worry, but I try to convince myself I’m overreacting. Still, something feels off. Why hasn’t he come back? Why is he staying away?

What about the student's parents? Are they here?" "No. Nobody came. No one at all" Celia replied. Mrs. Morgan widened her eyes. "You sure? No one came? Not even a single soul" "Judging from the silence, Yes... No soul came"

But Nova never appeared. *

But the gesture was so faint that no one around them seemed to notice. ****tbc****

"And for what it's worth, Katy is a complete bitch." I almost laughed. An actual almost laugh that surprised me. "Thanks, Soph." By seven o'clock everyone was there. Everyone except Grey. I checked my phone. Nothing. I texted him. ‘Where are you? Everyone's here.’ No response. I called. It rang through to voicemail. Sophia noticed my face. "Still nothing?" "No." "He'll be here," she said, but she did not sound entirely certain. By seven thirty people were getting restless. Grey's father checked his watch. "This is unlike him."

And no one waited for him, either. **********

Did she come inside, and I didn’t see her? I ran inside, but she wasn’t there either. “Caleb, what’s wrong?” Nate asks. “She is gone,” I said.
