Just Breathe By Jonny Diaz Novels & Stories

To try to exist again. I breathe. I finally breathe. ---

Really breathe. THE END.

It seemed as if someone was choking him and he was having some difficulty breathing. “Hi, umm granny. Pleasure meeting you.” Kevin greeted politely. Strange, the word granny sounded more like a question than a straight address. Something’s definitely fishy around here. “Okay, let’s celebrate now, shall we?” Aunt Mary cheered. We cut the cake and enjoyed the night. Uncle George put on this beautiful country song named Livin’ on love by Alan Jackson and we all started danced on our own pace. I so wished time stopped here and I could hold the moment so close to my heart. We took turns dancing with each other in a circle and yes, I landed on his arms. He placed his hands on my back as I placed m

His fist hit Demetrios’s jaw hard, sending him reeling back against the handrail. “What the fuck?” Demetrios’s hand flew to his jaw. He straightened, his hand rubbing the bruised flesh. No more grin this time. “Well, well, well…” he said slowly. There was something different in his voice. “Is this for real or it’s just my imagination? Nikolas Adamos, one of the powerful tycoons in the world, the man who disposes of women like they’re used tissues, defending a maiden’s honor? So, what’s with this nice piece of ass that you have to take it out on me in this way?”

But tonight, none of that mattered. As I went closer to the bar, my fears kept pulling me back, but no! I grabbed the bottle. "Johnny Walker," the label read. With a twisted grin, I uncapped it and placed it against my lips. I didn’t sip. I gulped. I kept drinking until a sharp pain tore through my chest. I gasped, pressing a hand against my ribs. But then, I laughed again—because Michael Finsch was a disgusting bastard, and I was an even bigger fool.

" I smiled softly. Just as I was about to reply to Jessie, Curtis suddenly barged in. "Hazel Falken! What have you done to Bree?" I didn't understand what Curtis was talking about and looked at him with a clueless expression. However, that only seemed to anger Curtis even further. He roughly grabbed me by the arm and said, "Bree's having a high fever! Don't tell me that you weren't the one who infected her with the zombie virus!" I froze in shock. "What zombie virus?" "You got jealous of her because I liked her and not you, so you infected her with the zombie virus! Let me tell you this, Hazel Falken. Even if Bree turns into a zombie, I'll still marry her, not you!"

She got nods from everyone, so she signaled for Dominic, the drummer to count them down, and the band came together with the opening notes, just as expected. Zach was right; the song did sound good. Maybe they could perform it on Saturday. Bree came in with the first verse, feeling the song like it was one she’d sang a hundred times before. By the time she got to the chorus, her eyes were closed as she lost herself in the music. “You are the reason I’m alive. You are the reason I can breathe. You are the reason I survive. You are the reason I can be Here to face anything the world throws my way

There was also a desperation in it—a desperation to keep breathing and to keep living. Ciel put on a gentle smile on his face. And with a soft voice, he told Andrew, “Breath, Martinez. Breath. Just calm down. You’ve got nothing to fear. Maverick won’t hurt you today. He won’t do anything, at least for today, so calm down and breathe. Just inhale and exhale. Do that over and over again. Breath, Martinez. Just calm down.”

Breathlessness soon became an issue and only worsened when hiccups and sobs clubbed with it. He will reject me …. The popping sounds of bones rearranging could be heard but my hiccups soon over powered those sounds. “Zara. Listen to me, baby. I WILL NEVER REJECT YOU. You are my life, babe,” Jax cooed as he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me closer to him. “Now just relax and inhale deeply for three seconds. Yes that’s my girl,” he triumphantly declared as I started to breathe after he assured me he won’t reject me.

And she believed him. When they started walking again, Jacob handed her one of his earphones. The song he was listening to was... beautiful. She'd never heard anything like it before. "Who is this?" she asked. "It's Breathe by Sienna skies," he told her. The lyrics almost made her start crying again. "Breath for me baby, Breathe for me, baby, Take me, take me, Take me back to a place where we are one." When they returned to school, Jenna planned to ask him to hang out after school. She tried to ask, so many times, but the sound wouldn't come out.
