I Am The Only One Novels & Stories

On the last day before the college application portal closed, Juliette Larkin watched Colton Hayes reach for the mouse, delete the university choice they had agreed on together, and enter a completely different school. The school he picked was the one her best friend, Kelsey Tyndall, had been dreaming about for three years. Juliette's fingers went stiff over her keyboard. She could not process what she had just seen. "Colton, did you put in the wrong school? Why'd you suddenly pick Lakewood?" Colton closed the browser tab without so much as a glance her way. "It's not wrong. I'm not going to Stanmore anymore, Juliette. I'm going to Lakewood with Kelsey." "Why?" Juliette stared at him, u

His eyes flared, darkening, but I didn’t stop. “I am no one’s pack member. No one is my Beta, no one is my Gamma. No one is my protector or my keeper. I am no one’s crush. No one’s first love. No one’s Luna.” I rose from my seat, picking up my tray. “I belong to no one but myself. That is the only bond I accept.” Without waiting for his response, I turned and walked away.

Then I pause, letting it sink in, letting it root. “You belong here.” My fingers trail down slowly, deliberately…not rushed, never rushed. “Where you don’t have to pretend.” Another breath, another crack in her control. “And I…” A faint smile touches my lips, though she probably can’t see it in the shadows. “I’m the only one who sees you exactly as you are.” The silence that follows is heavy and complete.

I need her in my life, she is my medicine, my drug. 10 years ago I was dead even though my heart was still beating but when I met her once again I felt alive...I felt like I could breathe again. I felt like I had another chance in living, a second chance, a hope but that all came crashing down. Now I have nothing, nothing at all. I have money but I feel like I am poor, I have shelter but I feel homeless, I have a sister, I have friends yet I feel alone, I have a beating heart yet I feel numb and lifeless.

My head spins the whole way across the room, pounding behind my eyes. "Frig. Friggity frig. Ughhh..." I rub my tenples and stop just short of the window. I reach for the curtain and nearly scream as a face flashes, and in an instant is gone. I shake my head, cussing, and I peer out the window again. I crack it about two inches and I bend down to speak through the crack. "Hello! Hello? If anybody is out there, you're a jackass you know.

I thought that was what drove me to search for you but after I found you, I realized that I had fallen in love with you. I finally experienced what it felt like and it was exhilarating. I wanted you by my side all the time and I swore to myself that I would never let you go and here we are now. You are the best thing in my life, Tisha and because of you, everything suddenly feels worthwhile. You are the only woman I have ever loved and I will nurture this love and make it grow.

It shed from her bed sheets; dark spots appear with ever tears that touch the surface. Who would think that one break up can affect their family? April was the unika iha (Only daughter) in the family, thus if anyone hurts their precious sweet pea fill face the fist of her six brute brothers. “Fuck that JM! I want to beat him till God will regrets that he created that asshole!” Dan was breaming in anger. His fist was itching to punch someone, specifically the guy that starts J and ends with M. Baaaam.
