Novel & Cerita It's Not Going To Be Easy The Notebook

He wasn’t asking for her permission; he was making a final stand. “Okay,” she whispered, her heart sinking. “Okay, I’ll get it.” Jessica brought the notebook—a simple black cover, a pen clipped neatly to the side. She handed it over with a tight, pained expression. “He shouldn’t be exerting himself like this, Lydia,” she muttered under her breath. “I know,” Lydia replied. “But look at him. He’s not going to stop.” They adjusted the bed with agonizing care, every degree of incline monitored by the flashing screens. Lydia placed the notebook against Noah’s stronger hand. His fingers curled around the pen, slow and trembling, like a child learning a language for the first time.

Startled, I quickly shrank back, but it was too late. He strode out, grabbed me by the back of my collar, and hauled me in like a little chick. "Quinn, this notebook is yours?" I was forced to look straight into Nathan's overpowering eyes. "So what if it is?" I shot back, jutting my chin out. "Can't I just doodle whatever I want?" "Doodle?" Nathan shoved the notebook in my face. "Not even a pro coach could come up with these tactics. And a laundry girl drew them?"

“I heard from Grace that you’re transferring to the Springdale branch?” “Yeah,” I replied flatly. His expression shifted, clearly unhappy. “That’s a big decision. Why didn’t you talk to me about it first?” I gave him a side glance. “I called you the day before yesterday. You didn’t pick up.” James frowned and opened the passenger door for me. He looked down as he said, “Let’s celebrate New Year’s today instead. How about that farm-to-table place you liked? You said the food was great.” “Sure.”

But I'm guessing that it still wouldn't happen since we bought a lot yesterday and also, I'm too tired of dealing with those vicious stares and gossips. Ugh, I should probably just sleep for the whole day. I love sleep so it shouldn't be a problem. "Watch tv, then." He said without looking in my direction. As always, Neal is still sitting on his office swivel chair, getting very preoccupied with some business of his. He's always busy. Doesn't he have time for himself? For both of us? Well, I mean, what's the use of staying together for three weeks if this is what's going to happen at most times? Getting-to-know-each-other? What a joke.

“He can’t say directly, but he won’t stop you either. It’s up to you, Miss Toth. I’m sorry—this is how I’m programmed.” Her apology sounded almost human. I wanted answers more than anything, but the notebook sat between us like a door I could open or keep closed. I set the pen to paper and began to write—questions, fear, the small, raw memories of Zebasthian—letting the ink hold what my voice could not. While Lyra sat quietly beside me, I read and wrote down what I could from the notes in that old book.

"To tell you about a notebook. That is not normal human behavior. That is a boy looking for a reason." I looked away. "Or he just found a notebook and did the reasonable thing." "Reasonable." She repeated the word like it tasted strange. "Zachary Reed. Reasonable." I said nothing. She grinned. The dangerous kind. "We're going to get that notebook today." "I was going to go alone—" "Absolutely not." She was already reaching for her jacket. "You need moral support." "I need you to not embarrass me." She paused. Then smiled sweetly.

You can't just think about that. -I must because if I don’t, I'll go crazy in a matter of time with you... being that way. -He sat up. Go take a bath and then meet me in the kitchen. -Do I suck that much? -She wrinkled her nose, looking at him angrily. Although," he said, pretending to think, "if we bathe separately, you won't be able to lay a hand on me... We'll bathe together," He stood up. ... Booke looked at her notebook, the notebook looked at her. Enjoying a weekend with Nathan made her realize that this was not an amazing idea. The moment Nathan told her they had to go back, she should not have insisted on staying another day there, but she had failed completely.

Cassandra. “You look pale…” A familiar voice whispered, and I raised my head with a smile. “And tired…did you sleep well?” Anna asked. I chuckled. “You already know the answer to that question.” Last night I couldn’t sleep and decided to stroll, coincidentally I saw Anna and we both had a good chat until dawn. She sat down, a smile on her face. “It must be tough.” She added, handing me a cup of tea. “Thanks. I’m just trying to navigate it all. Nathan is so difficult to crack in. He is too uptight and… it’s so exhausting having to put in my best only to get insults and degrading.”

How far was he willing to take it? “I don’t know how this is going to end,” I whispered, barely able to contain the knot of frustration in my stomach. “But I’m sure it’s not going to be easy.” “Just stay out of his way for now,” Kate suggested, her tone softer now, but still holding a note of caution. “He’s a stubborn one, but he’ll get over it.” I wanted to believe her, but the look in Nathaniel’s eyes said otherwise. This wasn’t just a momentary frustration—it was the start of something bigger, something that would only make things harder for all of us.

“Look, man, she’s complicated. She’s been through hell. Nothing in life is easy. But some answers are worth the risk. You don’t ask, you’ll never know. And not knowing will eat you alive.” “What if what I find changes everything?” I asked quietly. “Then you deal with it,” Theo said simply. “But don’t expect her to make it easy for you.” He was right. Lily never made anything easy. ** Later that day, I found her at the dining table, papers spread out everywhere. She had her glasses perched on her nose—God, I hated how much I wanted to rip them off and kiss her—and she was scribbling notes like a woman possessed.
