Novel & Cerita Loose Me Once And Maybe Am Gone Forever

I never wanted her to end this whole mess in a way so final, so without hope, because by then, none of it mattered to me anymore anyway. From the moment my call for help got hung up on, I stopped having anything left tying me to this world. If I could choose all over again, I'd want to just be an ordinary person in my next life. To live out my days safe and quiet. That alone would be enough for me.

However, distance also made me realize that in this whole world, it is only by your side that I find peace, comfort, and the place I want to return to. Be prepared... I will soon come home to stay with you forever. Even if you drive me away then, I will still not leave you. Missing you so much. Love, Claire. P.S. I hope you like children because I want to have a lot of children very soon.

If only he knew how astute that statement was. “Thank you for inviting me, and sorry I bailed on you,” I found myself conversing as if my inside wasn’t in shreds — Practice, I suppose, years and years of practice. “I hope you finally let the poor girl go. I hate to get a call from the cops, man. Her friends were pretty freaked out.” “Sorry, you had to deal with that. And yes, she is gone. I would like to know if you know how to contact her though. With the drinks and … you know. I forgot to get her contact,” I said, trying to be carefree about it.

Sunday mornings were your favorite I used to meet you down on Woods Creek Road You did your hair up like you were famous Even though it's only church where we were going Now Sunday mornings, I just sleep in It's like I buried my faith with you I'm screaming at a God I don't know if I believe in 'Cause I don't know what else I can do I'm still holdin' on to everything that's dead and gone I don't wanna say goodbye 'Cause this one means forever Now you're in the stars And six-feet's never felt so far Here I am alone Between the heavens and the embers Oh, it hurts so hard For a million different reasons You took the best of my heart And left the rest in pieces Digging through your old birthday

No more endings. Just forever.

… It was a long time after Jack left before I finally let out a heavy breath. That night, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep. I couldn't let go of my lingering feelings for Jack, but being stuck in a love triangle was truly tormenting. So, as soon as dawn broke, I went to the old grounds of the Crescent pack. "Mom, should I break the mate bond?" I whispered to her tombstone. The wind blew, as though it were my mother sighing. I gently touched the tombstone. Suddenly, the wolf-fang bracelet that had been on my wrist for a long time snapped, and the fang fell to the ground.

Zara pushed down the sadness in her eyes and spoke casually. "As for the deadline…" she mumbled. "How about this? You help me with 99 things, no questions asked. Or once I've hurt you 99 times, we'll call the debt settled." It seemed that she had forgotten all about it. But it didn't matter anymore. This was the 97th time. Just two more, and whatever tied us together would finally be over. I took a slow breath and walked toward the stage.

I had fought cancer for eight years. I had waited for Liam for eight years. My greatest wish had only been to see him one more time. Now I had. That was enough. Goodbye, Liam. I love you.

I stared at the screen for ten minutes, just breathing. I didn’t cry. I didn’t smile. I just… remembered. Remembered the nights I begged for that message and never got it. Remembered all the times I felt disposable, quieted, confused. And now that I was gone — now that I’d stopped chasing, stopped needing — he wanted to reach back out. Of course he did. That’s how it always works with people who only miss you when they can no longer control you. I showed the message to my friend.

Connecting. Forever.
