Hold Me Today Novels & Stories

🦋 BENITA 🦋 This morning is exceptionally strange, even more so than the countless weird mornings before it. Today is the 25th of September, 2024, a day I absolutely refuse to accept. If only night could stretch on indefinitely and day could be cut short—or better yet, if there should be no day at all. I couldn’t help but think something terrible was going to happen, and deep down, I was preparing myself for it. No bad news was going to meet me unaware again.

, she ordered. Aahan put the can aside and walked towards her, "What !! Why would I do breakfast ? It’s your turn today." he shouted. "Oh! Sweetie come I will show you calendar ..See today is Sunday actually holiday for both of us but I have work so you have to do it.", she pouted at him surpassing a chuckle. “What the hell, I won’t ..I planned to sleep all day ..I have no time for your breakfast.", he seethed.

Today would be perfect. I am so happy. Matty will propose!! He has invited me to Riverside. I am so excited, I must look pretty for him. He doesn't know, I have already seen the ring. Cornelia was literally floating as she got ready for her date with Matt. She had put on a turquoise dress that perfectly complemented her dark complexion. She was wearing light makeup when she received the phone call she never expected. On the other end was the nurse from City Hospital. Cornelia couldn't process what she heard from the other end of the line, so she asked the nurse to repeat those dreadful words.

Ethan’s expression froze, and he stared at me in disbelief. As I did not understand his reaction, I turned to face Hudson instead. He used to be the manor’s resident physician, so he should be able to make the call on a matter like this. “I was very good today. I even ate the steak you cut for me. This time, I’d like some… painkillers. Is that okay?” Hudson’s face turned as white as paper, but he still did not answer me.

"You staged a car accident a couple of days ago, and now you're acting all independent. When are you going to grow up, Ms. Brook?" As soon as her words fell, Morgan snorted behind me. "If you want to leave, be my guest. Don't ever show your face in front of me again!" I strode out without a backward glance. "Morgan, after today, may we never cross paths again for the rest of our lives," I thought to myself. I waited on the helipad, and as the aircraft came into view, I pulled out my SIM card. The last message on my phone before it powered off read, "Your parcel has been delivered."

I could not handle this anymore. Me : Hey my love. I know we agreed to meet tomorrow. I know you're busy today. Me : But please. I really need you. Can you squeeze out time for me today? Please? I pressed the send button and pressed the phone to my chest almost as tight as my eyes were shut. It felt like I had a thousand things running through my mind with no means to calm down.

It recoiled, arching it back and hissed at Suzanne before sprinting away. Suzanne stood back up, looking at her palm. It’s an ominous sign, she thought just as the phone in her back pocket began to ring. The ringtone was a BTS ‘Not Today’ ringtone. It was old man Hendricks. Suzanne blinked, wonder of wonders, Hendricks never called. She pressed the answer button and stepped into her grandmother’s unit. Grandmother was sitting on her bed sipping a can of beer. How grandmother had managed to smuggle in such rarity was beyond Suzanne’s understanding.

Ngiti na lamang ang naging tugon niya rito. "Ma, pagkatapos pala natin dito, daan na rin tayo sa mall. Bibili kasi sana ako ng bagong cellphone, palitan mo na rin ang cellphone mo ma. At ano, bibili na rin ako ng gamit kasi next monday na ang pasukan namin." pagbibigay niyang alam dito. Kwinento pa niya sa mama niya kung ano pa ang napag-meeting-an nila kagabi. Binigay na rin naman ang schedule nila at mabuti na lamang, wala siyang panggabi na subject this sem kung hindi ay mahihirapan siya.

I laugh and say, "Ha-ha Let's go. We have the get-together at Ava's and we have a party to attend tomorrow and we need our beauty sleep before the Dinner and Gala." We open the door and sit inside. While she is busy starting the car engine, I switch on my bluetooth and connect it to the speaker and start playing Taylor Swift's latest album. We drive away, singing loudly and jamming to the song. I roll down the window, allowing the cold wind to enter. I look outside, admiring the beauty of my neighbourhood and I repeat to myself that everything I achieved is definitely due to the hard work I put in. I couldn't help but think to myself,

Sophie POV Today is my first day on my new school. I feel so lucky and confused at the same time. Lucky because, the owner of the University, personally called me and offered me a scholarship.
