Can't Go Home Alone Again Novels & Stories

When we moved, he took leave just to order the movers like he did now, and he told me then, "One's own house must be designed by oneself to make living comfortable." Even now, the layout in the house was no different from before, but that man from back then was never coming back…. That was when my phone vibrated. I tried to hang up in my panic, only to up the volume, catching everyone's attention—including Lily and Paul. Once I finally hung up, Lily ran up to me, hugging my arm, "Paul's worried since it's dangerous for me to live alone, so he bought this house as a present! Once everything's arranged, you're welcomed as a guest!"

“Now, that you have back, move back to home. You don’t need to live alone.” Alice frowned, “No, dad. I have been fine living here.” “Alice, I know you have complaints about me because of your mother. But this is still your family. I am worried that you will run into a danger when living alone. You should…” “Dad.” Alice interrupted her father, “I have a good life now. I… I have a job, and I live near the company. I have something to do now. I will hang up. I will go back to visit you sometime.”

Before they left, there were a few highly-anticipated movies that were being released in theatres, and now it was released on streaming services. There was a small theatre in Colene's place. They brought the takeout into the room and ate while watching movies. Gabriella said with her feet crossed, "This is so comfortable! I want to buy a single-story house too. It's so nice to live alone." She felt embarrassed for staying at Colene's place. She also didn't want to return to Astral Heights. Then, she could only buy her place. Colene looked up. "Why don't I sell the other half of this place to you? We can stay together; isn't that even better?"

He opened his mouth, but no words came out. I pulled my wrist free from his grip and took a step back. “Mark… the person you love isn’t me. The person you love is someone called ‘my wife,’ a shadow who waits for you at home every day, cooks for you, worries about you. That shadow went with you abroad five years ago. She was alone in a foreign country, afraid to go out because of the language barrier, and wanted to continue her photography career but didn’t dare pick up the camera… because she was afraid of embarrassing you.”

Inside, a group of friends were laughing loudly, sharing drinks and stories. For a moment, Ethan watched them. Then he looked away. Moments like that always reminded him of the same painful truth. He had always been alone. Not just physically. But in every way that mattered. The Strange Feeling The rain began to fall even harder as Ethan turned into a narrow street behind several closed stores. This shortcut usually saved him ten minutes on the walk home. But tonight, something felt… different. The streetlights flickered above him. Once. Twice. Then suddenly—

A week later, I was finally discharged from the infirmary. On the way home, old memories began to flood my mind. I met Charles when my father brought me to his pack for a negotiation. While he was in the meeting, I wandered off into the territory to hunt alone. But I got lost—and worse, I was followed by a group of rogue wolves. Fear gripped me as I faced those feral beasts. I was completely outmatched. Just when I thought it was the end, a massive wolf leapt in front of me and drove them away.

"I'm okay. Just surface stuff." He caught my hand, voice rough. "I should've found you sooner." "It's not too late." I leaned into his shoulder. "This time, we found each other." In my past life, after they locked me up, it was nothing but pain. Following Simon's orders, the inmates used cold tools to destroy my uterus. When the prison doctor told me I'd never have kids, I didn't cry—I was already empty. Then chaos exploded outside. "Mr. Johnston! You can't go in!"

Shen I cannot help but to let out a sigh and I seriously looked at them. “Can’t you go home on your own? Because I can” that is what I said and the two shook their heads and with that simple gesture, I already got their point and that is they cannot go home without me. I bet it is the order of that bastard to not let me go home alone.

Sage The moment the call ends, everything inside me unravels. It doesn’t happen all at once. It’s not dramatic or loud. It’s quiet and insidious, like a crack spreading slowly through glass. I sit there on the couch with Theo still asleep against my chest, the TV murmuring nonsense in the background, Maya kneeling in front of me with concern etched into her face and yet I feel completely alone inside my own head. I have to go home. The words repeat over and over, each time heavier than the last.

Where everything came together. "Gross! Parent kissing!" Alex and Lily shouted. Skating over. Laughing. Teasing. We laughed. Broke apart. Family surrounded us. All four skated toward exit. Together. Family. Complete. I looked back at rink one last time. This place. This ice. This beginning. Thought to myself: They say you cannot go home again. But I did. I came back to this rink. This city. This man. And I found home. Not in place. In them. In us. In family we built from broken pieces and impossible odds.
