Getting Over You Novels & Stories

I stayed on the call for another awkward 5 seconds before I ended it I exhaled. Okay Sebastian, you have to get your game back on. Whatever you put it, find it back. I think a year is enough to get over him, right? I hope so

And at times when you're too weak, I'll be your strength. We're a team. You need not to face a storm alone cause I'll always be with you. I love you with extreme certainty, Maze Johnson-Thornton. We still have one wedding left. But for now, I want you to take my hand and begin again. Let's love each other, all over again." THE END

Why did he regret it again? Three days before I was due to leave the country, we finalized our divorce. The moment we stepped out, he stumbled toward Michelle, looking almost pathetic. I caught the triumphant, provocative look on her face before turning around and walking away, emotionless. Only someone like her would pin her entire future on a man. If one failed, she would just move on to the next. How ridiculous. When the plane landed, I still felt like I was floating. The first week passed in a haze, but eventually, I adjusted to the time difference.

I muttered mostly to myself, but Chloe heard me. "You fell for him," Chloe said-so matter-of-fact, her vigor with working the vegetables was making me edgy-she chopped away. "That's what went wrong." I let out a bitter laugh and laid my head on the back of the couch. "Yeah, I guess you're right." She turned then and looked over at me, her eyes softening just for a second. "You'll get over him, Tessa. You always do. It'll suck for a while but you'll move on.”

I furrow my brow. "Enough to know he's successful and cute." "Wow, Katie Bug, I just can't even deal right now!" "Enjoy his company. I'm not saying to go out and marry the guy but test the waters." "I'm still not over, Jackson." I hang my head lower, the realization hitting me like a ton of bricks. I loved Jackson, didn't I? "The quickest way to get over a guy is to get under another." She says, laughing. "Have you been listening to Betty White again?"

This must stop anyway. I know feelings won’t go away in an instant. There will still be bad day when you feel low, and there will still be days when you feel more hopeful. Hopeful that you can overcome your feelings. As cliché as it sounds, time heals. I know this is just an infatuation, I know I’m just overacting but this is my first time, and I’m struggling to overcome it.

I rip down that distance now and stare up at him, letting him see the pent-up emotions I’ve spent two long years ignoring and denying. I’ve spent two long years ignoring a whole lot. Shane’s dark eyes go wide and then hot before he shutters his response, locking himself up tight. But, almost as if he can’t resist, he swipes the pad of his thumb over my bare ring finger again. “Tell me what happened.” “We’re over.” My voice catches, and I hate that it catches. “No going back, no crossing Go, no collecting two hundred dollars. Really He nods slowly and then squeezes my hand. “Sounds like you could use a drink.”

happy? "'Cause it's easier said, it's easier said than done." The song ends and I decide to drive the rest of the way in silence. Three whole months of crying and self-pity might have actually helped. I mean saying I'm over him is completely pushing it but the time off from him made me focus on me.

Then he hooked a chair with the cane and pulled it to the bedside. He sat down and typed another line on his phone. “If you cannot make sense of something, then stop trying to force an answer. Not everything in this world comes with one. Chris may have interfered with your life, but you are still Winter Scott. No one can change that except you. “If you give up on yourself, then the Winter Scott I know will truly disappear. You are still you. No matter what Chris took from you, no one gets to take away the part of you that survived. Not even you.”

I just let out a deep sigh before facing her. "Mom, there are things that are just not meant as we think, I mean, Zac and I. Being with him in the future is one of the scariest things I could think of. I know how many girls are dying just to get his attention, and I just want to leave everything the way it really is between us. I guess we are way better this way and, for sure, he's aware of it." I saw how my Mom grimaced and face me, the reason why I turned my back to look back at her.
