Leaving Him To His Own Devices Novels & Stories

"You're in this when I say you are." "And yet," he says quietly, "here you stand. In my office. Using my satellite. Looking at my screen." The smallest tilt of his head. "Tell me again where your independence starts." The room goes silent. I pick up the schematic from the desk — he printed it before I asked, which I notice, and say nothing about — and fold it once. "I don't need your help," I say. "I'm leaving." I walk to the door. "Shawn."

Sienna: “Do you think that it is a good idea for him to go on his own, Diablo?” I asked, looking at my husband whose eyes softened as he looked at his father leaving towards the car. “Though I don't want him to leave, I know that it is good for him to go. He wants to find his own way and I do not want to stop him. I don't want to be the person to get in his way when it comes to that. I know that it is not something that you might understand right now, but I know that it is the right thing to do.” He said. And I could tell that he was ignoring the cleanse that formed on his chest, that he was trying to fight back the pain that he felt.

It was only natural that he'd start getting overconfident and eventually face a big fall. Before he left, he came to find me. Like the first time we met, I stood on the marble steps and looked down at him. He stood below, awkward and stiff. "I'm heading to Oakheart. I might be there for a long time. Is this my way of atoning?" "It's not," I replied coolly. "Your wrong decisions led to this. It has nothing to do with me." I turned away without waiting for his response. Sienna was going with him to the south. She had no family or friends in Riverhaven. I was the only person seeing her off.

“This isn’t enough if you want to be… adequate and enough for Kael.” Then he left, just like that, leaving me sitting alone in my own release. Fuck him.

“Stay away from me, okay? You have that down to a science, anyway, it shouldn't be a problem for you. I’ll do the same for you. If things work themselves out in the end, so be it.” And then he turns and leaves.

A nurse nearby sighs, looking up from the chart she’s holding. “He checked himself out,” she says simply, like this is just another discharge, just another patient leaving too soon. “He got dressed and walked out, I saw him on cctv. We can’t force him to stay.” I breathe hard through my nose, my mind already moving to the next problem. He’s alone. “Was he with anyone?” I demand. “You’re sure he was alone?” She hesitates for a second, like she’s running through her memory, then nods. “Yeah. He left on his own.”

But I wasn't ready to give up—not on him, not on myself. “Please just leave.” He said quietly. I stood there staring at him, my heart breaking for him. He was once a strong and powerful man who never had to ask for help with anything, and now he couldn’t even do the simplest things that we all take for granted. I didn’t want to leave him, but I knew that I had to. He was trying to work things out on his own.

"And that’s exactly what I’m doing. I’m going out there to find myself." "That’s not what I said, and you know it." He argues. "Then what did you say?" I challenge. "Please, explain it to me like I’m a two-year-old." He exhales, but I don’t give him a chance to respond. "I thought everything was clear. I had choices to make. Either I dragged you to the altar with a gun to the head, or I left to ‘find myself.’ Well, guess what? I chose C." I lift my bag slightly. "I’m leaving. I’m leaving you and your ultimatums and your rules and your choices. I am just done. I am leaving."

I don’t know what I can do to him when I lost my patience because even I have no idea how to control my ability so he better leave now or face his death any moment from now. "Just leave Dash, please! I don't want to witness another fight between the two of you again because I might help him take your life away" I begged him, hoping he would have followed me this way but he still stood with his words and gladly, he finally decided to leave. “I’ll leave It here Aze, you have to see this unwillingly and willingly, and by the time you throw that away you will only regret it when you find out what is really the truth, I hope you'll make up your mind and stop being so soft" he placed a device in f
