If I Stay 2 Novels & Stories

“Then let’s not waste any more time.” He blinked. “What are you talking about?” “I’ll leave,” I said, voice calm. “You want to be with her? Fine. Be with her. But I’m not going to stand here and make it easier for you.” His brow furrowed. “Ava—”

“But I wanted to stay. I just didn’t know how to stay without messing it up.” “Then figure it out,” I whisper back. “Because I’m not offering second chances again.” He nods slowly, like he knows I mean it and maybe, just maybe, he means it too.

All night, I tossed and turned-and this time, it was not because of the springy motel mattress that usually kept me up. "You said you leave when there's nothing left for you to do. So-what if I gave you a reason to stay?" Dean's words rang in my head like a broken record. I didn't know how to make it stop. I hadn't even given him a proper response.
