Can't Stop That Feeling Novels & Stories

The torment of the fall felt endless, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. Pow! Pow!

“But everything went downhill after hearing that I could also love him which I don’t want to and the hardest thing about it is that… I can’t control it!” My voice broke, holding my stomach, forcing myself to stand and he finally furrowed his eyebrows at me, contemplating the depth of my words. I got up and leaned on the wall, holding my side that was immersed in throb. “I can’t stop the attraction, I can’t stop these feelings… I can’t do it and loving him is never on my list.” I murmured quickly, breathlessly, wiping the tear on my cheek, lifting my gaze to see his reaction.

I’m not even sure I want to know. But I can’t stop thinking about it. I can’t stop thinking about him. I feel like something’s already started. Something I don’t understand. And maybe I’m afraid to.

It is all I can do to hold on, all I can do to hold. The tight, metallic taste of it is quick and sharp, quick and sharp in my mouth, in my veins, in my life, in my mind. It is more than I can handle, more than I am ready for, more than I know how to be, more than I know how to stop. It is fast and raw and fast, fast, fast. It is uncontrollable, untamable, wild. It’s happening.

“We are finished, do I need to spell it for you?” Shawn had already called Connor so many times he had lost count just during the time he had been on his way to Valentine Island. Connor had only answered one of the calls, and it was to tell Shawn to stop calling him. “We have five years together, babe.” Shawn pleaded. “Please just give me a second chance.” “Shawn, stop calling me! Stop texting me! We. Are. Done. D-O-N-E!” “Come on, Connor.” Shawn pleaded. “Just give me a second chance.”

He laughed bitterly, shaking his head “I’ve tried to stop, gosh! Goddess knows I’ve tried. I’ve told myself a thousand times that this can’t happen, that I need to be stronger, that I need to do the right thing” His eyes met mine again “But I can’t keep punishing myself for something I can’t control. I can’t keep pretending I don’t feel what I feel when I’m around you” “Reign—” “I know it’s selfish,” he cut me off “I know it makes me a terrible person. But I can’t hold back anymore. I just… can’t” The silence that followed was heavy, charged with everything unsaid My heart was pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears

“Then learn.” “I don’t know if I can.” “Try,” I said. “Because I can’t keep doing this. I can’t keep being close to you one moment and shut out the next. It’s breaking me.” His hands came up to cup my face. “I don’t want to break you.” “Then stop trying to control everything. Stop pushing me away when things feel too real.” “What if I can’t stop?” His thumb brushed my cheekbone. “What if this is who I am?”

This is something far worse. And I have absolutely no idea how to stop it.

“Stop it.” “Stop what?” I could see how serious he was looking at me right now. “Stop making me fall for you even more! I can’t–” “Why are you telling that to me?” He looked so mad right now. “I can’t do anything about it anymore! That’s why I’m telling you to stop–” “How can I stop it if you’re the one feeling it? Don’t be angry at me because I’m not doing anything to you!” I yelled at him.

Which isn't right! Yeah. I don't want this! I want to go back in time and live my non-complicated life! But no! Now, this Micah guy is all over my head! I am even wearing this stupid pheromone-stopper ring! Doesn't it have an effect on stopping us from falling for each other? No... Actually, pheromone stoppers can only stop our scents. Not our feelings. Wait what? So I have feelings for him!? No!
