Heartbreak Library Novels & Stories

"I don't know what's happening to me… It hurts here, right in my heart." "Your heart hurts? I'll go get a doctor!" Madeline moved to leave the room. Halsey grabbed Madeline's arm, stopping her. "No, don't go! Don't get a doctor." Madeline looked at her in shock. "Why..."

When the petals fell, my Heartbreak Level soared to almost 90. I moved out early the next morning. Freddie stood by the window, watching my slender figure fade into the distance. His heart twisted in agony. The last 10% of the Heartbreak Level naturally came from the words he had spoken the day before his wedding. The moment I closed my eyes, my Heartbreak Level finally hit 100%. The system said he should go and say goodbye. But knowing the memories would remain, Freddie chose not to. Instead, he said silently in his heart, "Goodbye, Rosalie."

With my baby's ashes in tow, I saw breathtaking landscapes I'd never witnessed before. It wasn't until George Halloway, a photography enthusiast, approached me that I broke out of my silence. "Is that someone you lost?" he asked gently. "You look heartbroken." He handed me a photo he had just taken. In it, I was sitting with the urn in my arms, gazing into the distance. I forced a faint smile. "That's… my unborn child."

And it had all led me here, to this moment, with my heart in a million pieces at my feet, finally understanding that the boy I’d been crushing on had never, not for a single second, been mine to lose. _________________________________________ The numbness was a heavy blanket, smothering everything. I lay on my bed in the dark, staring at the ceiling, replaying the scene in the garden on a loop. The way he’d looked at her. The easy intimacy. I didn’t cry. The hurt was too deep for tears; it was just a vast, hollow ache. So this is a heartbreak, I thought, the words echoing in the empty quiet of my room. Will there ever be someone who looks at me like I’m their whole world? Or am I just destin

The library, her sanctuary of silence, had become a catalyst for her own story, a story waiting to be told, a story waiting to be shared with the world. The quiet hum of the library, once a source of solace and inspiration, now pulsed with a new energy, a vibrant rhythm that mirrored the awakening of Hazel's own voice. The library, her sanctuary of silence, had become a catalyst for her own story, a story waiting to be told, a story waiting to be shared with the world.

Neither realized that sometimes, heartbreak isn’t caused by lies it’s caused by stories told too soon, and truths told too late. The world slept. But between them, the ache stayed awake breathing, waiting, aching for something beyond forgiveness.

_________ Alec Heartbreak. Sadness. Cold. Torn. Pain. Regret. For the first time in my life…I think I’m experiencing true heartbreak and let me tell you, it feels like I’m having a heart attack. It felt like sh*t. The pain was too much. The second I stepped away from her apartment, I was disappointed in myself. I felt an emptiness. Could it be that this is how some girls felt after I ignored them once I had a taste of them? Is this karma coming back to me after using and hurting those girls? I used, discarded, and ignored them.

I had another hour before my next class so I just decided to go to the library and wait there because staying in one place somehow eases the pain. I walked into the library with a cup of black coffee in my hand. I walked to a quiet and secluded place and sat on a chair. I took a deep breath as I drank from my coffee. I took out my favorite book, The Notebook, from my bag and placed it on the desk. I can't count the number of times I had read the book. It has so much behind it, love, pain, sorrow, loss and grief. I cried the first time I read the book. I also cried the first time I watched the movie.

Then my mind wanders off to Antonio words: "Is not really the matter of being a softy dumbass. I just find the story similar to what happened to you. I'm dead serious! You've got to read this book, perhaps after reading you can tell me if I was wrong or right" I don't know when my fingers has typed the title of the book and it's author and now I was at A****n Kindle page. In the page, the book cover is designed with white background and then it had a broken shaped hearts on the background with the title written in red 'Shattered Hearts' and it's author name below the cover Micaela Alvarado. Seeing this book again sent turbulence to my heart like in the afternoon when I'd seen it.

"I'm sorry Charity, I won't be going to the victim's home today. Something came up. We'll go some other time" I think the phrase, shattering of heart is a bit too underrated and considered too literal, used in literary works and in certain kind of situations to prove how pleasant our grasp of good grammar is cause I can testify that my heart practically broke into a million pieces that all the glue in the world wouldn’t even dare put together if they tried as I read through Detective Roman's message that morning.
