Novel & Cerita I Hate That We Didn't Make It To Forever

Zoe watch me in silent understanding, not saying a word. “I guess, forever doesn't exist after all.” I joke to ease the moment, my chest tightening at the thought of it. I guess I was an idiot because I believed it once did exist. A forever with him. When Zoe and I are done at the lockers,we head straight to class and the biology class starts immediately. Pushing all the heartache and pain at the back of my mind, I get lost in the lectures,the only escape... ______

But that is not part of the agreement, right? Then why am I hopeful? Why do I want a forever where a forever is least possible?

I'd kill the motherfucker who tried. Her youth gave me pause but only for a moment. It's my intention that should bear scrutiny. If I meant to go forward with this, it must be more than a momentary fling; it must be...forever. Could I do forever? Forever is a long fucking time. I've never wanted forever before. Somehow with my Blossom, I think I could do two lifetimes and still not have enough. So yes, the answer is yes, I most certainly can do forever.

Then smiles, “We are all immortal aren’t we. Gods, I’m going to have to get used to that idea.” Kai smiles and nods, Ash grins, and kisses her temple. “We actually have forever, if we don’t get killed. I’ll have forever either way, but it’ll be awkward if I die and you don’t, you’d have to raise a baby Mate.” Kai frowns, “You don’t get to die.” He feels himself getting angry, and tries to calm down, but is struggling, “I hate that thought, please don’t talk about it.” She immediately stands in front of him, pulling his forehead to hers.

"Let me explain it to you. ‘Forever’ is what we Filipinos say when two people fall in love and stay in love. It’s not just about being together; it’s about choosing each other every day until the very end. It’s cheesy, yes, but it's our kind of cheesy. The good kind. The kind that makes you believe in love that lasts a lifetime." "Does that even exist, Nelly?” she asked, her voice low and tinged with quiet disbelief. "I don’t believe in forever. People change. People get tired. Eventually, they fall out of love and walk away." "Maybe that’s because they weren’t with their forever person to begin with."

My heart hammered a tiny, frantic rhythm. A sliver of sunlight, fractured by the chandelier, caught the polished floor, and for a terrifying second, the reflection wasn't crystal. It was the low, corrugated tin roof back home. The images were always the same: golden dust motes, the distant, muffled rhythm of the neighborhood drums, and then the shift. The unnatural silence. The kind of silence that swallowed people. My mother, beautiful and fierce, gone. Kian, my brother, nine years old, gone, too.

Forever would never end. We were family. We were love. We were everything. And that was enough. More than enough. Perfect. THE END

“You took his immortality.” Forever had an expiry date.

Only us. Forever.

We'd found our way home to each other while this time nothing would tear us apart again. Forever started now. THE END
