For You I Hold My Breath Novels & Stories

I muttered. But my thumb betrayed me. The screen changed. Calling… My breath caught. The phone rang once. Twice. I held my breath, heart pounding so loud it drowned out everything else “Hello–”

"I've been thinking about you non-stop too." "Let me be your first dance," he put his hand out. I placed my hand on his and felt the sparks through my body, I looked up at Aspen to see him smirking back at me. We walked towards the dance floor and the song ‘say you won't let go’ by James Arthur started playing, I rested my cheek along his chest while he had his arm around my waist. -Aspen P.O.V- After the dance was over, I walked to my parents, they were standing next to Aurora and her mate Daniel.

"In. Hold it. Out. Breathe, Ivy. Breathe, Ivy." I don't know when my hand found the front of his shirt, only that at some point I was gripping the fabric so tightly my knuckles had gone white, like it was the only solid thing left in a world that wouldn't stop spinning. He let me hold on, his arms coming around me without hesitation, without a single teasing word, repeating the same steady rhythm against my ear, over and over, until the words themselves became the only thing anchoring me to the floor. "Breathe, Ivy. That's it. In. Out."

We were a couple who could weather the storms together, yet we couldn't bask in the clear skies. Morgan, who used to freak out if I so much as scraped my skin, was the same man who jammed a toothbrush down my throat to make me gag when I drank poison. "Milana, I'm begging you to spare yourself and me!" At times, I didn't understand myself either. Why on earth did I refuse to let go? Perhaps I was indignant.

Koi aansu tere daman par girakar Bund ko moti banaana chaahta hu Apne hothon par sajana chaahta hu. Thak gaya mai karte-karte yaad tujhko Ab tujhe mai yaad aana chaahta hu Apne hothon par sajana chaahta hu... Aakhri hichki tere zaano pe aaye Maut ko bhi shayarana chaahta hu Apne hothon par sajana chaahta hu... I feel those lines were so true..... Thak gaya mai karte-karte yaad tujhko

"Now, no overthinking! Twenty questions. Quick fire. I'll start. Favourite colour?" "Okay, I'll bite," he chuckled, picking up a dessert spoon. "Red. My turn. Favourite band?" "The Backstreet Boys," I replied instantly, without a shred of shame or hesitation. "Wow. Really? Okay..." he laughed, shaking his head in mock disbelief. "I can work with that." He pulled his phone from his pocket, tapped the screen, and connected to the smart speaker on the kitchen counter. "Alexa, play 'I'll Never Break Your Heart' by the Backstreet Boys."

His gaze is steady. "Just breathe," he whispers. "I'm breathing. I'm fine. I'm okay. I'm fine. I'm completely fine. I'm totally fine. I'm perfectly fine." "You're not. You're holding your breath. You're gripping my arm like I'm going to disappear. You're white as a sheet. You're shaking. You're about to pass out. You're about to run." I exhale. Slowly. Deliberately. I force my shoulders to drop. I force my jaw to unclench. I force my hands to relax. I force my heart to slow.

I stayed there frozen on my seat, unable to move an inch. “Breather in and breathe out. Breathe in and then breathe out….” I kept chanting those continuously until I could finally calm my nerves. “You can do this, Aiv! You’re a strong girl.” I mentally prepared myself and slowly turned my head to see the “person” staring right through the window at me with its dark ashy green eyes. I felt a chill run down my spine. It was like someone had poured icy cold water on my naked body in winter. Our eyes locked for a second,but before I could come back to my consciousness, he disappeared.

She asked him in a small voice. “Take all the time you need. Just remember that my heart only beats for you.” He kissed her forehead.

Andre said. "Don't let go. Just a few more seconds and I'm there" Alexander said and just then, he had reached his brother's hand and as he was about to hold it, he was not so lucky, Andre's hand had already slipped off the iron and before Alexander could grab it, Andre was already on the floor, before Sophia, lying lifeless.
