Gin Blossoms Until I Fall Away Novels & Stories

The Blossomland had been his go-to-cure for a bad day. The wide terrains and hills and plains filled with vibrant colors of flowers, dancing along with the strong breeze—the serene sound of petals and leaves rustling—the smell of the aromatic azalea and windrose flowers—the warm kiss of mid-morning sunlight—they all had used to help Kael calm his thoughts down. But this time was different. The worst thing he could’ve had imagined was happening now.

Inside the doorway was dark, but as the footsteps got closer, he could see a pink silhouette moving through the shadow towards him. The first thing that came into light was her beautiful white leather slipper, nearly visible from under the tail of her white dress. The bottom of the dress was laid with a puffy mess fabric that got slimmer as it went up to her waist, where the dress hugged her curves tightly. The pink fabric caressed her upper body, accentuating her breast, but left her shoulders bare. The most eye-catching thing about the dress was the cherry blossoms that would rise from the dress and into the air, only to dissolve into pink particles once it was a few feet above her head li

I told her and I could practically hear my Nana telling me I'm an idiot for apologising for how I feel. "Kiss me." She said, I looked up at her to see if she was joking or something but when I looked at her all I saw was pain and that little line that always formed whenever she was being serious in between her eyebrows. "One kiss and if you feel nothing then I'll give it up, I give you space and I don't know, I'll go away. But just one more kiss and if you feel even the slightest spark inside you, then there's still a chance, we can still be us. All I'm asking is for a kiss."

As she ripped the seal open, something fell into her lap. Dried cherry blossoms. A shuddering gasp left her lips as she lifted one of the thin blooms with unsteady fingers. Cherry blossoms were her favorite as a child. But it was summer now, and there were no spring blooms around. Which meant that this person had preserved them for her throughout spring. Like they were waiting to give it to her. Gianna’s chest felt too tight. It was like her heart had grown three sizes and was pressing against her ribs for more space. Only one person knew how she used to collect these blooms and press them between the pages of her favorite books.

Vivian sat alone in the shadowed corner of the bar, watching strangers drift beneath the amber glow of the lights. She could not believe she had actually fallen for a rumor. “The real reason the Hayes and Carter families postponed the wedding? Sebastian’s ex was kidnapped. He’d rather call off the marriage than leave her to die.” One reckless sentence was all it took for her to book the first flight to Harbor City. Sebastian was the untouchable heir everyone admired—a fixture on the covers of financial magazines and the polished businessman delivering keynote speeches at charity galas. What could a man like him possibly be doing in a place like this? Vivian shook her head, set down her g

“And he listens. Don’t let that go unnoticed.” Her eyes met mine—hopeful, a little scared. “You think…?” “I think,” I said, gently, “sometimes people need a little nudge. But don’t rush it. Let it be slow, real. That’s what makes it last.” Zoe nodded slowly, a quiet blush rising in her cheeks. That evening, I walked home alone. The spring air had begun to soften. The sky blushed a slow pink behind glass towers. Somewhere, music played from a balcony above a bakery. The world was layered with little signs of life returning—mine included.

Unfortunately, the happy times were long behind them. Cassiopeia took out the pictures and tore off Lucas's figure from each one of them before throwing them into the trash can. Anya and she were the only ones that remained. Halfway through packing, she caught the whiff of a repulsive smell. She frowned instinctively. When she went to open the door, the smell grew sharper. When she had taken a few steps forward, she was hit with a heavy wave of nausea and almost lost her balance. She staggered a few steps before planting herself against the wall. Her head felt like mud.

I whisper to her, attempting to bridge the chasm of emotion with words. "Do you?" she questions, her voice tinged with pain and uncertainty. Voicing her concern, Blossom fears I might be using our newfound love as a refuge from the grief over Eliza's passing. "I'm trying my best to cope with everything that's happened. I'm not using our love to mask my pain or as a cover, Blossom. I just need you beside me as I navigate this healing journey. Please," I plead, an unusual vulnerability in my voice. Blossom is not accustomed to seeing me like this, and she senses the depth of my hurt.

Her father died unexpectedly and left them in a sea of sorrow. Rosalia and her mother are living in a two-story house that her parents bought together. It’s a small house, but they’re happy there. She is strolling along the winding streets of the city. The streets are adorned with a delicate shower of cherry blossoms, their pale pink and white petals gently swaying in the breeze. Despite her efforts to catch a few in passing, the ephemeral nature of the blossoms eludes her grasp. As she is strolling along, the enchanting scene inspires a melody in her heart and a sense of melancholy as she realizes that this fleeting season will soon come to a close. This spring season holds a special place

She would no longer be a Princeton. Her face now dry of tears, she spread her arms as she stared up at the petals of cherry blossoms raining down on her, landing on her face and body. She chuckled and whispered, “Spring is nearly over.”
