I Left My Family Novels & Stories

"I'm..." I give him my best judgmental glare. "If you say sorry again, I'm leaving this amazing date and finding Fiona so we can enjoy it together." I clasp his hand harder. "I missed you too, Oisin. You, Fiona, Liam, even Rian surprisingly. You all are my family. Living here has taught me that family is whatever we want it to be. My mother and father don't see me like you and your family does."

She asks. "Yeah, they left a while ago," I tell her, looking at all the boxes. "What's wrong, I can feel that something is bothering you." She asks with a raised brow. I let out a sigh as I walk over taking a seat on the bed. "Lisa's gone and soon BJ and Fred boys will be gone too. I just got back and it kinda feels like I'm losing my family again." It's hard seeing them leave, but they're not kids and I can't stop them.

"Among all the family members, I'm the only one who is different. They are good at something. And as for me, I was always left behind. I couldn't keep up with them. Before, mommy always scolded me because I was always failing every time he asked me to try something like musical instruments, fashion designing and many others. It's just that, I am not good at anything she wanted me to try on." My friend was silent for a few seconds before speaking up again. "Your family looks perfect." She said. "That's one of the reasons why I left. In the eyes of the many, we are perfect. But the truth is, there is no such thing as a perfect family. I used to consider our house to be hell because of the thin

I sent an air kiss up to his bedroom window and climbed into the car. As we pulled off, I watched my family disappear in the back window. Now, it was just Irene and Jaedon who were my family. Would a war actually happen?

F-ck. I rubbed my face and stood up to get dressed because I don’t feel like going to work right now and would rather rest. When I remembered what had happened to my parents and Sophia, I froze once more, and I’ve noticed mom avoiding dad because they’re arguing. Is this related to what happened to me, and that I left, telling no one? I sat on the bed, staring at the photo of the four of us. I took it, caressed it, and smirked when I noticed we look like a happy family in this photo, but the truth is… it has destroyed our family for a long time because of the problems we are facing today.

I'm not the type to just set a trap like that. My desire to stay in Manila is for my means, and I know my family has shown a lot of understanding. I'm not a perfect person. I make a lot of mistakes too, I know. Yes, that's when I first realized that I was too carried away by my means. What happened to Rezoir and me? The way I was able to flee from everyone, including him, the father of the child I'm carrying, and my... family The family did nothing but always support me; age doesn't matter between younger and older lovers. I know.

I might be alone but I deserve the world. I left my home leaving a note. At that time, I wasn't ready to explain everything to my family. It was a rash decision. I never regretted it for a moment all these days. Of course, I wanted to talk with them a few times but I didn't. I had been exploring European towns and villages. It was great meeting new people of new languages.

Iris's POV Closing my eyes with headphones, playing Ed Shereen as an escape from my thoughts. Though it's not helping much but still a good distraction. So much is going on in my brain, I don't want this plain ride to end sooner. Or I say, I am not too eager to meet my family. 'Family ' is a word just for the sake. Because people who are known as my family were never one. If it was not because of my mom, I never would have been on this plane, now.

When Aunt Eleanor and Jimena found out about my decision to go back to the Capital to pursue my career, they obviously got sad but chose to support and respect my decision. It's sad to leave because they have become a family to me. In fact, they almost treat me more like a real family than my own. They accepted me during a time when I was really down and had nowhere to go. They are indeed my family. When everything goes wrong, people who stand by you without flinching are considered your family, by blood or not. For me, a family is what you make, not by the number of heads counted at a dinner table. It is by the memories you share, the commitment of time, caring, and love you show to one ano

"Money could leave but your family would never leave you if they are truly your family. You could say you want your money and eventually, you will run back to your family. Just like the prodigal son that ran back to his father in the bible. I am a family type of person. I don't joke with my family. I love and appreciate them. And the thought of me losing them makes me scared sometimes. Staying alone without having anyone to talk to isn't the best way to leave life. I love my family, I don't care about money, thank you."
