Here's To Never Growing Up Lyrics Novels & Stories

The cool night air brushed against my skin, and for a moment, it felt like we were the only two people in the world. “Wow,” I breathed. Logan smiled, sitting down and motioning for me to join him. “I used to come up here all the time when I was a kid. It was my escape.” I sat down carefully, my legs dangling over the edge. “Escape from what?” He shrugged, cracking open a beer and handing it to me before opening one for himself. “Everything. Expectations, arguments, the pressure of figuring out who I was supposed to be. Up here, none of it mattered.”

The lyrics drifted away; only half-hearted humming lingered on. My baby is a girl. She is going to be beautiful. It will be hard for her to grow up without a dad. But maybe he will come back, maybe he’ll answer my calls. It’s hard to have an adult life with adults looking down at you. I’m sure my parents think I’m into drugs or something. Ha. Maybe that would be easier . . .

/I don't wanna go another day So, I'm telling you what is on my mind Seems like everybody's breaking up And throwing their love away But I know I got a good thing right here That's why I say, hey/ /Nobody gonna love me better I'ma stick with you forever Nobody gonna take me higher I'ma stick with you/ /You know how to appreciate me I'ma stick with you, my baby Nobody ever made me feel this way I'ma stick with you/ "Seriously?" I ask her with my brows raised after hearing the song. "Do you want to sing that?"

They walked side by side down the street and entered a convenience store where they found a table and ordered some snacks. Gary gazed at her profile. "I can hardly tell if this is reality or a dream." Kimberly smiled, and he continued, "Remember college? We were broke, always eating snacks at convenience stores. Who would have thought, years later, we'd sit together like this?" Kimberly sighed, memories flooding back like a tidal wave. Back then, she was young and carefree, yet to meet Daniel. Gary tilted his head, curious. "I heard from our classmates that you got married. How is that going? Are you happy?"

"Daniel, a betrayal is a betrayal. No matter the reason, I will never forgive it. I love the life I have now. Please don't disturb it anymore." As I turned to leave, I could not help but add one last thing. "Take care of that child. I know what it's like to grow up unwanted by both parents. No child should have to go through that." With that, I walked away without hesitation. Behind me, Daniel’s sobs broke the silence—raw and helpless, like that of a child. Even so, I would never look back again. Afterward, our team won first place in the competition. On the way home, Matilda leaned close to my ear and whispered, "Mommy, is Mr. Cooper not coming today? I wanted to say goodbye."

"I haven't been eating properly. It'll correct itself." "In that man's house." "Mum." "I'm not starting anything." Neva came to stand beside her at the glass. For a moment neither of them spoke. The city moved below them, indifferent and constant. "I just need to say one thing and then I won't say it again." Corinna closed her eyes briefly. "Say it."

With Janet on board, my digital media company scaled fast and went international. Meanwhile, Jerome was spiraling. As soon as I got home, I heard Laura crying, begging Dad. "Sweetheart, I've stayed with you all these years. I may not have done much, but I've been there through everything. Look at Jerome, he's at rock bottom now. Are you really going to just leave him like this?" Dad sat in his wheelchair with color back in his cheeks. He looked a lot better, his expression distant and thoughtful. The moment Laura knew she had him, she practically melted against him, her voice turning even sweeter.

She stood right in front of me, the faint fragrance she carried cutting straight through my chest. The dressing room lights flickered, shadows overlapping, and in the mirror I saw our silhouettes so close that they were almost one. Her fingers brushed through the ends of my hair without thought, until the emcee's countdown carried in from the stage. "It's time." She stepped back half a pace, looking at me with absolute focus. "Remember. Tonight, every clap is for the bird that broke free of its cage." By curtain call, I was leaning back, beer in hand, watching Lilian mingle under the rain.
