Howie Day You And I Collide Novels & Stories

While I was crying like a madwoman in the hallway with everyone staring, just one wall away, Lionel was covering Eva's ears. "What's all that noise outside?" Fiona asked. Lionel replied casually, "It's a hospital, and people die here all the time. It's normal! Don't be scared. I'm here for you and Eva." After passing out countless times from crying outside the morgue, I checked my phone. Fiona had posted a new photo on social media showing Lionel sitting by her hospital bed, embracing her and Eva Haywood like a happy family. The caption read, [We survived. We're one loving family.]

"Could you maybe kiss me? Just one?" Before she could finish, I had her pressed against the car window, our lips meeting in a kiss that felt like destiny. Right then, fireworks burst in the sky, lighting up the cityscape, while the car's stereo played a tune that seemed to capture the beat of our hearts. Fireworks burst in a dazzling display above, and at last, the restless journey of love came to a peaceful end.

The skin on my body and face throbbed painfully, as if it were about to split apart. I noticed some soothing ointment on the doctor's cart. I put on my mask and walked over to ask the doctor's assistant, "Could I have just a little of that?" Someone snapped, "What are you doing here, Sofia? Because of your reckless driving, Bianca nearly ended up scarred from the accident. Be grateful that she only scraped her fingers. You're the reason why she's hurt. How can you still have the nerve to cause trouble?" Giuliano shoved me back into the storage room roughly.

However, in a heartbeat, a thunderous crash echoed through the room. The door flew open, and a swarm of figures clad in black stormed in, encircling Yoel, Ethan, Nelson and Amelia.

At that moment, Mason finally had to face the truth. Evelyn no longer wanted him. She had truly decided to marry another man. The icy winter wind of the city cut across the streets like blades, but Mason seemed unable to feel it at all as he wandered along in a daze. Before he realized it, he had arrived at the park they used to visit often during their student days. In a corner, a young couple was arguing. The girl’s eyes were red, but she stubbornly refused to let her tears fall. “If you’ve fallen for someone else, just tell me. I won’t cling to you like some desperate fool.”

I wouldn’t have passed some tests if he hadn’t helped. And, if I think back, he never used slurs unless he was high. His voice echoed from the walls. At least, I think it was that. Everything began to sound distant, and I felt like I had retreated into my body. Then Matthew convulsed, beginning to shake as if he were possessed. His throat bulged as he tried to speak, but only garbled sounds passed his lips before a wave of vomit spilt out, splashing down his shirt and over his crisp denim jeans.

Leigh put on a false obedient face, but her eyes grew icier when she turned back to me. Just as she reached for my last bone to perform the replacement, a massive force of spirit power exploded through the chamber. She was struck from within and coughed up blood before collapsing hard onto the ground. “Chloe. I’m here.” I vaguely saw a shadow scoop me up around the waist and fly out of the Divine Spring Cave. When I woke up, Evan was on top of me, smothering me with a barrage of kisses. In my haze, I saw horns on his head and blue-violet light radiating from him. He was trying to rescue me through dual cultivation.

On one sunny day, Liam went down on one knee, presenting me with a diamond ring he had designed himself, and asked, "Eleanor, will you marry me?" I smiled, held out my hand, and answered without hesitation, "Yes."

"Now, please leave." Eric looked at the finality on my face, then at the way Elliot stood protectively beside me. Only then did he seem to realize that he had truly lost me for good. The light in his eyes faded little by little until only ashes remained. He turned in a daze and slowly left my studio. When the door closed, Elliot looked at me with concern. "Are you okay?" I smiled at him. "I'm fine. Better than I've ever been." After that day, Eric exposed the truth about Isabelle's identity with ruthless speed.

Perhaps I was indignant. For him, I had defied my parents, given up the easy life as an heiress to weather bitter, lean years. We had finally made it through the worst, yet with a single, casual remark that he didn't love me anymore, he expected me to just walk away. How could I ever make peace with that? I was still lost in my thoughts when the car behind me abruptly lost control and rammed into me. With a deafening crash, the chassis juddered violently.
