Novel & Cerita How Bro Felt After Writing That

It was as though they were put there on purpose, knowing I have these heavy feelings in my heart. Before my wolf slid to the table, I lifted my head to the ceiling, trying to control the tears that were about to drop from my eyes. I wanted to be tough as much as possible. "You can do it, Nathalie. The entire day hadn't been consumed yet. There's still a chance." I muttered to myself. After wiping the tear that voluntarily dropped from my left eye, I grabbed the pen and paper and started comprising the letter. And the letter goes like this. "Dear Josh,

Your best friend will be there to listen when you are, I am sure. Was that okay? I rewrote it three times, finally just giving up and saying what came to mind. There wasn’t really a reason to be embarrassed or hide my true feelings, because I didn’t know who I was writing with. I just had to make sure nobody would realize I was the one writing the notes. Thankfully nobody here knew anything about my personal life, so they wouldn’t be able to connect the dots. I hoped.

I try again. She leans her head on my shoulder and I pull her close. “I keep trying to write my impact statement. I can’t seem to get it out. Every time I go to write something down, I get sucked into an episode.” “What happened?” “I was thinking about my first few days at Brook Haven. I fought against the whole thing, just trying to get out. The episode was about when I had to be restrained...the first time.” My arms tighten around her. “Is it because you went to see my dad?” The guilt I feel seeps into my voice no matter how much I try to stop it.

**Chapter 197: Writing Our Story** Brooks The cursor blinked on the blank page like a heartbeat. I sat at the new desk we’d placed in the sunroom overlooking the backyard rink. Early Portland light filtered through the windows, catching on the frost that still clung to the boards some mornings. My fingers hovered over the keys. I’d written the title—*Full Circle*—and then nothing for twenty minutes. Callan appeared in the doorway with a mug of coffee, exactly how I liked it. “You’ve been staring at that screen since the kids went down for quiet time.”

"Ellie, Yvonne says there was a misunderstanding today. Don't let it get to you." A misunderstanding. I'd been beaten with a metal hanger until my fingers couldn't bend. I'd been pinned to a carpet, coughing up blood. He was calling that a misunderstanding. "Chris." "Yeah?" "You added a flag to my file." He paused. Then he laughed. "Oh, that. I was just —," "Just."

“This is not that serious.” It was a manuscript. That’s all. A book. A story. Something written. Something finished. But that wasn’t how it felt. And that was the problem. I walked back to the drawer. Slower this time. More aware. More deliberate. I reached down. Picked up the manuscript. And for a second— just held it. It felt the same. Light. Ordinary. Unassuming. Which made everything worse. Because nothing about it felt ordinary anymore. “If she knows,” I said quietly,

I wrote the first sentence, slowly: "I loved him. I lost him. I found myself again." It was simple, but it carried weight. I could feel the pull of the memories—the nights spent questioning my choices, the silent tears shed in hotel rooms and offices, the unbearable longing and the moments of fleeting joy. But writing them down, shaping them into words, made the pain more bearable. It made it something I could control.

AURORA The second message came a week later. I won’t write again. I just needed you to know — I kept the promise. I exhaled slowly. The promise. Restraint. Distance. Letting me live without shadow. I should have felt relief. Instead, something unsettled inside me — not longing, not regret, but awareness. Some connections don’t weaken with time. They sharpen. I typed one sentence before I could stop myself. I know. I stared at it, pulse loud in my ears. Then I hit send.

Brooks' POV There were many mornings in my life I wishedI could stuff myself deep into my comforter and become embedded into the mattress. Not even for sleep but to simply evade what was coming that day. Today proved to be one of those days from this hangover that was evident from my own karmic actions. But it wasn’t the thunderous pull of my head turning against me that made me want to shuffle myself into oblivion, but for the thirteen drafts of an embarrassing email I thankfully had enough sense to keep from actually sending. Although I couldn’t piece together the details of a single one without the words becoming a haze of desperation and broken pride, I knew it was enough to know I could

' She left the stall to get a closer look and watched Kai as he took a step toward Jacob. "Well, you see, I read this first page and I think you can do better," Kai teased. "So I think I'm going to do you a favour and tear up this one." "No, no," Jacob protested. He looked like he was about to cry as the torn pieces of artwork left Kai's fist and covered him like freshly falling snow. "I'll let you know what I think of the next one tomorrow," Kai said. "Kai, why do you have to do this?" Jacob cried. "Why me?"
