Joshua Graham Fallout Novels & Stories

she asked in a trembling voice, the word barely escaping her lips. Her heart raced, and her hands shook as tears began to spill from her eyes, blurring her vision. The floodgates of emotion had opened, and she couldn’t stop the torrent of grief and confusion that poured out. The world she had known—her life with Lucas, the dreams they had shared—was now tainted with a truth she could hardly bear.

Senior Mr Huxley ended the call. “ Haaaa” Jayden groaned in fury, hauled his phone acrossed the office to the wall and it shattered instantly.

The blackness inside him was coming out in many tears, and he couldn't turn his lower eyelids into stone to stop them. “I have nothing else I can do, okay?” Josh said. His feet went soft, and all his secrets in a box were being cracked and slowly destroyed by Tristan. “Jo-josh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to… I didn’t know I was causing such a massive event in your life. I just thought you were a spoiled brat student. I’m really so sorry.” Tristan’s voice cracked. His eyes filled with grief, and his chest revealed the guilt rising up while his hands were clenched into balls at his sides.

"Didn't I tell you, you're a disappointment to everybody, a fucking burden, and am glad that British finally figured it out, and oh, am sorry you would be ditched in the end again.... just kidding am not..." Immediately I read that bullshit that would make anyone's heart sink, I played the voice note after hesitating for a while, and I really wish I didn't, cause I wouldn't have heard the familiar voice, and wouldn't have heard his words "Elias is coping, but am literally stressed out"

Joshua walked onto the stage, trembling. He fell to his knees with a thump, and the moment his knees touched the floor, he felt utter despair. He could never show his face in the industry again. No one in Sartvale, at least, would think of him as an expert or treat him with respect any longer. Joshua's whole body shook as he groveled to the crowd, and sweat trickled down his forehead. Tears brimmed in his eyes. Once he had finished groveling, he fainted.

He took one step forward but I grabbed his wrist quickly. “Let him go,” I whispered. “Morgan Group will collapse by his own hands.” He stared at me for a moment…part disbelief, part admiration and then sighed. “I just… can’t stand how he talks to you.” “Oh trust me,” I said quietly, “I know. And what he pulled in there actually pained me, Josh. Not because I wanted Investor Joel’s validation but because I spent years building something he just tossed around like trash.” Josh scoffed, rubbing the back of his neck. “Yeah… well, now that the deal fell through… how about we disappear for a while? Some long vacation? A trip? Just something far from this madness.”

Now I look like an ungrateful twit because she has kept her promise, and I am rejecting it. Seth’s mother starts telling everyone off, to go about their business, and the lords and ladies scatter out to buy their coats and bobbles and drink red honey under moonlight. While this is happening I realized I’m still clinging to Seth because he’s grinning, amused by the faces I was making, and let go. “This means nothing.” “Yes, I am aware that you are strong enough to handle yourself,” he said with a grin. “I am! So glad that you understand,” I replied.

Zach snickered. "Then why aren't you there?" Keira smiled. "I was hungry, figured missing one practice would be fine. I mean I am the best one on the team, I need to give them time to catch up..." He laughed. I smiled at the pair thinking they would be an adorable couple. Keira glanced at me through her thick eyelashes, as if she needed help to talk to him. I have her a shrug and she rolled her eyes, as if we were having a private conversation. "Subtle guys..." Sophie broke the silence and we all laughed. The bell rang signalling the end of lunch, Keira and I headed towards the gym for PE, just as we reached the door it was swung open and I felt a sharp pain as I walked into what felt like a

I tell him. “See, her being a fallen automatically makes her a part. Don’t worry, we won’t hurt her. He has other plans for her.” Then he hung up. Damn it! He knows more than I expected. This is really bad. I need to meet up with the guys tomorrow. I crawled back in the bed and pulled my mate flush against my body, probably tighter than necessary. I couldn’t sleep a wink the whole night. Joel’s POV Max: I need to call a bro meeting, it’s important

Joshua, who's voice seem shaken, said softly to me. I looked at where Joshua was looking. The television. 'Flight APTX 4869 has crashed, no survivors found.' "What?" I looked at Joshua once again and this time, I had a better angle of his face. He was crying. And it seemed like he had been crying for the past few hours. "Wait, what?" I said once more, this time looking at Caleb. "I am so sorry." He whispered, hugging me tightly. Something in my body is aching. I don't know which part. It just feels like a thousand paper cuts all over my body. And then I started crying. But for what, exactly? It's done. I can't do anything.
