Just Because Someone Stumbles Novels & Stories

I placed some cash on the table and dashed out. I bumped into the someone in the way out and fell in my butt. "Ouch!" I squirmed. "Watch where you are going?" He said and groaned at me. "I am so sorry," I said. He looked at me and was about to walk away but there was no way I was letting him go after meeting my stranger. "Min Jun," I called out. He turned to look at me and…

With the small bag in hand, I stepped back onto the sidewalk. As I walked back towards my apartment, my attention was briefly diverted when I felt something uncomfortable in my shoe. Bending down to investigate, I didn't notice the jogger coming towards me on the sidewalk. In my distracted state, I accidentally bumped into him, causing both of us to stop abruptly. "Oh, sorry!" I blurted out, looking up to apologize. But as my eyes met his, I couldn't help but be taken aback by his cold, brown-eyed gaze. His expression was devoid of any warmth, and my presence seemed to shock him. It was as if my accidental collision had disrupted his thoughts, leaving him momentarily speechless.

Parrish: Well okay then, but don't do anything stupid okay? Thea: haha like what? Parrish: Who knows hmmm anything could happen. Just be careful okay... Thea: alright. Parrish: see you tomorrow... I put my phone back into my pocket and decided to walk around the park. At least I'm not so lonely. I walk then suddenly I bump into someone. "Ow!" I fell down to the ground. Oh shit, my butt hurt so bad. "Ms, I'm sorry." It's a guy who I bump too. He gives a hand for me to get up and I take his hand and look at his face. Oh why him...

A cold voice suddenly stabbed me back into the present, and I stumbled backwards, whereas in that I bumped straight into someone that was walking down the road. Of all the few people walking down the alley, there should have been at least just one or two in number, and yet I managed to bump into a street-looking man—tall, with a very nasty look on his face as he glanced at me like I had offended him and the world in general. This had to be my most frustrating luck this year. I kept my head down, not wanting to draw attention to myself. "I'm sorry," I mumble, but he says something else nasty, something that I don't want to remember, and gives me a last insult before stomping off, his fists sh

I hear her car zoom off, and I sigh in relief. Just as I try to climb the stairs before me, someone bumps into my back, and I stumble, falling to the ground.

And in a place full of people trying too hard, normal actually stood out. She was looking around, probably trying to figure out where to put the food, when her foot caught on something…maybe one of the uneven stone edges. She tripped suddenly, the bags slipping as she stumbled forward. “Whoa…!” She hit the ground hard on one knee but somehow managed to keep the food from spilling. A few guys laughed…not cruelly, but not kindly either. I pushed away from the table before I even realized I was moving. By the time I reached her she was already trying to stand up. I crouched down instinctively. “Are you okay?”

Remember why you're here. “You seem lost in thoughts.” He pointed out as I tried to walk briskly in front of him. “Whatever it is, it can wait. The floor’s really slippery right now. You need to—” I whipped around, quicker than I'd intended to,“You don't have to! I'm fine—” My words got cut off as I tripped over my own damn feet from the turn, stumbling backwards from the slippery floors. Axel for some reason already felt like it was going to happen.

Just as we stepped out of the room, I felt a sudden pressure in my bladder. "I need to use the bathroom real quick," I told Aiden, feeling slightly embarrassed. "I'll be super fast!" I darted back into the room and used the bathroom. Coming out, I shook water from my hands while jogging toward the door. Halfway there, my foot caught on something and I stumbled. "Careful!" Aiden's deep voice cut through the air as he strode forward, catching me before I could fall. At the same moment, whatever had tripped me clattered loudly to the floor.

I had to be careful not to trip or fall; i didn't want to make things worse than they already were I made my way downstairs and began to walk outside, looking around to be sure he was not nearby. Fortunately, he was not. A smile formed on my face as I enjoyed the sweeping of the wind on my body. No sooner had I taken a couple of steps when I suddenly bumped into someone. Rather, the figure bumped into me and I staggered as I almost fell. I looked up to behold who it was but the figure continued walking away. I was taken aback by the lack of courtesy as well as the strange dressing the person had on.

A guy in black hoodie and black jeans who was walking by us suddenly bumped into my shoulder, making all the boxes he was carrying in his hand tumble down to the ground. “Oh, I’m sorry.” I said and bent down to help him pick the boxes. I noticed the guy was silent, only nodding his head as I kept on repeating how sorry I was even though I’m pretty sure he was the one who bumped into me. Scarlet also bent down to pick up a box that had rolled to the side of the road.
