It's Not Me It's You Novels & Stories

I say in disbelief and look at him like this is some kind of joke. "That's exactly what I'm saying! And you won't be able to snap out of it"

I hug him tighter because it feels like I haven't done this in a long time, even though I'm aware I've been here. -You don't have to be sorry. You didn't know who I am. I was an impulsive idiot, but I couldn't stay away from you for even a second. -I'm sorry I forgot who you are! -Please, stop apologizing! It wasn't your fault. It was my fault for not doing what I promised I would do. I didn't take care of you. -No, that's not true! You insisted on coming, but I didn't want that.

This is neither. "It's nothing," I say anyway. "Overworked. Long few days." "Didn't ask for an explanation." "I know. I'm giving you one anyway." Something in his face shifts, not quite a smile, but close enough to it that I feel it land somewhere in my chest.

I didn't bring my car; I just commuted, and one of my closest friends picked me up at the bus stop. As I hopped into Charlie's car, I replied, "I'm sorry man, something suddenly came to my mind. He started the engine as soon as I got inside. "Jericko, do you still have your ex-girlfriend on your mind? " he asked. “No. I simply said, "I've moved on to her already.” "You know what, man, try to put your life first and try to forget about her, even though it's hard. Spend some time alone.”

What's up. You: Nothing........no that's a lie. I'm fucked up. Rez: What's wrong? You: Anna. Rez: Geez, man. You need to let it go. She's not into you. You: I can't. I can't do it, Rez. Anna is special. I don't know how to tell her. Rez: If you tell her, she'll just stop seeing you. Is that what you want?

As she stood to leave, Marcus rose with her and paused by the door. “Laya?” She turned. “You’re brave. This may not look like courage — but sometimes, the bravest thing we do is sacrifice our own future for someone else’s.” Laya didn’t answer. She simply nodded once and walked out the door, her heels echoing across the tiled hallway like the ticking of a clock she could no longer control.

Cleaning up the broken mirror and making myself look pretty again for him, because he doesn't like when I looked bad. I know what he did was to show me, remind me that he loves me. If he didn't care then he wouldn't react the way he did. Blake comes in to the room and says "you know Ana, I just want you to be the best version of yourself, that's why sometimes I have to do what you make me do. I love you but you need an adjustment", I silently agree nodding my head, that was his apology or what I justified as one, he shouldn't have to tell me twice.

"Do you understand me?" "Yes," I said. "Say it back to me." "I understand you," I said. "Not one real piece…not one."

His face fell, and he stuttered, “S-She’s fine. She didn’t actually try anything. When I got back, I found out it was all pretend. She drank fake wolfsbane to trick me into returning.” As he spoke, he reached out to grab my hand. “But listen, it’s over. I sent her away. She won’t bother us again. Mia, I was wrong. Please, forgive me.” I looked at him, but there was no emotion left in my chest. “Lucien,” I said quietly, “I’m done with you. I’m not going back.” Lucien went pale, and his voice rose in disbelief. “Why? Mia, you loved me. I know you did. Why won’t you just give me another chance?”

He said a few words regarding the topic and ended the speech by saying, "just remember you came alone, you'll live alone and you'll die alone. Don't trust anybody more than yourself. Be your own best friend and your own worst enemy to keep the balance of life. Never underestimate yourself and never look back to the people who stab you. They are not worth it, and loyalty is rare. So raise your standards and wear your self respect as the most valuable outfit but ever undress it in front of anybody especially not in love"Students raised clap throughout the auditorium and he walked away from the stage.
