I Will Not Be The Supporting Character Forever Novels & Stories

“I think you should ditch that sinking ship. It’s not worth the stress. Even Jackson knew, and he ran away. Sell your shares, disappear, and go live your best life somewhere. I mean, if you start your own brand, you know I’ll be your biggest supporter. This family right here,” she gestures at Hannah and Chloe, our friends who sit side by side with cigarettes in one hand and glasses of alcohol in the other, would always support you.” She ended “I’m not leaving,” I say, lighting my own cigarette. “Not yet.” “Are you sure?” Chloe mumbles. “Or are you still hoping he’d come back?” She rolls her eyes. “No,” I lied. “I’m just not done winning,” I confess. The truth? I don’t know if I want him back

"You're a great guy, Godwin. Whatever happens, never forget that. And remember, I'm here for you, no matter what." As we continued our conversation, I couldn't help but reflect on the complexities of love and relationships. It was a reminder that even the strongest bonds could face challenges, and it was during those moments that true character was revealed. For now, I was determined to support my friend through his heartbreak, just as he had always been there for me in my times of need.

"Do you ever resent it? Being the secret I have to keep?" He's quiet for a moment, considering the question seriously. "Sometimes. Not because I doubt what we have, but because I wish I could stand beside you when you face things like this. I wish I could be there, visible, supporting you the way Damon can." "You support me in ways no one else can." "I know. But it doesn't stop the wishing." ***

In a soft voice she says, “A trip sounds nice.” I’m surprised by her answer and she slowly gets up on shaky legs and says, “I’m thinking a movie would be best right now. What do you guys think?” Charlie stands up and puts his arms around her as he says, “I know just the one.” I watch as the two of them walk away, Charlie never letting go of her, trying his best to be the support she needs. That boy is incredible and wise beyond his years. I follow behind them, here if they need me, but allowing them to have the time they need and the support they’ve needed from one another since Henry died.

I paused for a few seconds. “No,” I said finally. “He won’t be around.” She tilted her head. “Really? Not even for your show?” I shook my head, tried to keep my tone even. “He has something to handle. He can’t get away.” “That’s… unfortunate.” The way she said it felt a bit off. I looked at her face but she looked normal making it hard to read. “It would’ve been nice,” she continued. “Having him there for support.” “I’ll be fine without him.” The words came out sharper than I wanted.

He paused as we went round a corner and continued steadily "For as long as I have known you, you have been this cold, unreachable beta. I know you have a backstory, people like you always do. I won't ask, I won't prob and try to find out what it is because I honestly don't care enough about it if you won't tell me yourself. That said, you have never looked as alive as you did talking about the academy and wanting and training to get there no matter what. It's important to you and I have always helped you because I thought you needed that one person's support.

This seems to be the one subject we can’t fully agree on, and it’s causing a rift in our friendship. It hurts and bothers me he can’t support my happiness when I’ll I’ve ever done is support him. I’ve supported his wild ways, his want for an omega sex slave when I didn’t get it. I supported him to become my Beta. I’ve always had his back, even when he was in trouble as a teenager. Now I need him to back me, and he can’t.

“We shouldn't trust anyone on your mother's side.” I sighed. “I don’t trust him but I need him.” “He’s not going to help you, Ava,” Charles insisted, taking in deep breaths. “I thought he had moved past his grudges with Arthur but seems like I was wrong, he is definitely not supporting Jennifer because he thinks that she is capable,” he paused with a shrug. “One good thing about him, he was always right.” “Just like Arthur,” I muttered, swallowing the lump forming in my throat.

She flipped through her script and smiled when she saw her highlighted lines. Despite not having many lines, she liked her character. Bonnie Waters is the main character’s best friend since they were young. She always supported Zoe in her dreams while she remained on the sideline. She also fell in love with the male lead but knew that she didn’t have a chance, so she decided to keep her feelings to herself and support Zoe until the end. She had some major parts in the beginning, but her role fizzles out by the near end. She’s definitely a character that wouldn’t be remembered by many but would be a fan-favorite of a few.

"And for you. Because you deserve stability. Safety. A place that’s yours." I scoffed. "You barely know me." A flash of hurt crossed his face before he tried to mask it. "I know enough," he said softly. "I know you’ve spent years surviving instead of living. I know you’ve never had something that was truly yours without strings attached." My throat tightened despite myself. "Well… That’s not your job to fix," I said quietly. "I’m not fixing you," he replied just as quietly. "I’m supporting you." "With a house."
