Heart Falling Novels & Stories

“I'm sorry about Asher. I would say he's not always like that, but I'd be lying” “It's ok”, I laughed. “I think he's funny.” Whatever reply was on Nathans's tongue was cut short when the door was flung open, and before I could see who it was, I was thrown against the wall with Nathan pressed against me, hiding me from view with his hand over my mouth. My heart started racing, and I wasn't sure if it was from fear of whoever burst in or from Nathan being pressed against me. I felt further embarrassed when I realised that he could hear my erratic heartbeat.

There’s such a sad love Deep in your eyes a kind of pale jewel Open and closed within your eyes I’ll place the sky Within your eyes There’s such a fooled heart Beatin’ so fast In search of new dreams A love that will last Within your heart I’ll place the moon Within your heart As the pain sweeps through Makes no sense for you Every thrill is gone Wasn’t too much fun at all But I’ll be there for you When the world falls down Falling Falling down Falling in love I’ll paint you mornings of gold

He had rejected me. A choked sob tore from my throat, my knees buckling beneath me as I collapsed onto the rough wooden floor. My body trembled violently, wracked with the weight of my sorrow. The dam I had built around my heart shattered, unleashing a flood of emotions I had tried so hard to suppress. Tears streamed down my face in relentless rivers, my fingers clenching into the fabric of my dress as though I could physically hold myself together. But I was breaking—splintering like glass beneath the force of my anguish.

It lasted like fresh blood straight from my newly shattered heart. "Please..." Dry heaves ripped out of me as the first unrestricted sob carved its way out of my throat. I dropped onto my knees, feeling spent and utterly dead... The tears kept coming, hot and bitter, and I continued struggling for air. Seconds turned into minutes, or the time fucking stopped I do not know... Because I was falling. Down into the dark, coldest bottomless abyss of despair, and I was not reaching the ground. On and on, I kept falling, fighting for air to fill my painfully empty chest.

My body moved on its own. My eyes widened when I felt I was about to reach the peak of happiness, but instead of closing my eyes completely, I opened them and looked at the man…who was also looking at me. For a moment, I was lost as our bodies moved in a perfect rhythm. At that moment I felt strange for Dale. It's like he sucked my soul. I couldn't explain it but in those same moments, I realized that I really had to leave. My heart completely fell for Dale and I was afraid that I might end up like the dead Luna, who loved a man too much and did something bad in the end.

I couldn't find a single word to say. Hearing my quiet sobs, Diego's tone softened. "Hey, why are you crying? The principal position is gone, but there's still a place for you here. Just come back." Listening to his reassurance, my tears flowed even harder. Five years ago, I played Chopin's "The Farewell Waltz" in this piano shop. I never imagined that the sadness in the music would someday mirror my heartbreak, as if everything had been destined. Just then, my phone buzzed with a text from my lawyer. "Ms. Tucker, your divorce documents are ready and have been sent to your email. Please check them at your convenience."

After all, Leo was one of the more popular students on campus. "Drink some water," Archer said, twisting the cap open on a water bottle before placing it in Leo's open hands. Leo grinned and asked, "I was great, wasn't I?" Archer naturally reached out toward him and wiped Leo's sweat away with the back of his hand. "You were superb. Youngsters like you are always full of energy." Leo felt stunned. Suddenly, he wasn't sure why his heart was beating so quickly anymore—whether it was because of the match earlier or because of his crush who was standing right before him.

HAYLEE ~<>~ My heart was pounding, relentless and deafening. It raced uncontrollably, each beat echoing in my ears like a relentless drum. The faster it soared, the louder the sound became, drowning out everything else. Every piece of bad news I received—from people I trusted, people I thought wouldn’t give up on me—caused it to thud harder, as if my chest itself were breaking apart. When I heard that there was no other way, it shattered me more profoundly than words can express.

Hurrying towards the stairs, my eyes were already burning with hot tears as I was slowly getting a hang of what had happened. All of a sudden I halted when I stepped on a wrapped paper; lowering myself to the floor, I discovered it was a condom pack. That was the last straw that broke the camel's back. “Mulan believe me, I can explain.” His words were followed by a hard slap that caused him to stagger backwards. “What do you take me for? A fool?” I yelled, my veins popping out of my neck in protest. “I'm sorry, please.” He said in a sing song voice. Grabbing my shoulder, he went on his knees, “I honestly don't know what came over me last night.”

“How can I believe that? How can I trust anything you say when I know you’re capable of planning something so calculated?” “You can’t. I know you can’t.” He looked broken. Utterly destroyed. “But I’m standing here anyway. I’m standing in this rain for as long as it takes. I’m making myself a public spectacle. I’m letting the whole world see me fall apart. Because I need you to know that this is real. What I feel for you is real.” I was crying openly now. “Standing in the rain doesn’t prove anything.”
