Novel & Cerita Mending A Broken Love

Not finding a word to say at the moment. “There are some things that can't be amended, like a broken glass or plate can’t be fixed, a shredded piece of paper can’t be fixed except by being torn off slightly, a worn out clothes can’t return to their old sparkling color, and lastly, a broken heart that’s filled with anger and hatred can never be clouded with love and concern. You failed your sister Emilia, so it will take you a while to be on her good terms again,” Beta Lucky said before walking past her. Heading up to his room. What he just said was the pure truth. Not everything can be fixed or repaired, especially when it involves the heart.

~Matt~ Mending a broken heart felt like an impossible task, akin to building a sandcastle in a perpetually wet place. No matter how hard I tried, a wave would inevitably crash upon me, obliterating everything I had painstakingly constructed. How foolish was I to find myself in the same situation again? I had developed a special connection with Neeral, only to witness her accepting Taylor’s ring. Falling in love once more required effort, but I failed to nurture it. Our story seemed to leap to its climax before it even had a chance to begin.

She whispered, on the edge of breaking down. “The irony of our situation, Gem, is that we are both broken. I am as broken and as damaged as you are, if not more. I need someone to mend me and you need someone to mend you, what better match is there than the both of us?” he moved closer to her and began rubbing his nose delicately against hers. “We are like two pieces in a puzzle, love and what do two missing pieces in a puzzle do, Gem?” he asked. “They stick together?”

love isn’t supposed to leave you bleeding. He said he’d fix me. Mend my broken heart. That he’d prove I was worth something. Is this what mending looks like? Because if it is, then maybe I was never meant to be whole in the first place. A heart can only break so many times before it forgets how to feel. Before it forgets what real love even looks like. That night, I realized something: I didn’t know how to trust anymore. Not him. Not anyone. Not even myself.

"Tell her that you still love her. That you want her back. That's your purpose here, isn't it? What are you waiting for?" "It's not easy. Repairing broken trust is like gluing a broken glass back together. It's never quite the same as it was before it was broken." "So what are you going to do? Dude, are you giving up?" "I never said that. I'm just waiting for the right time." ~*~ CALI's POV

We stayed like that, tangled in each other, her grief pouring into me, my strength pouring into her. And I held her, through the pain, through the memories, through the aching loss that neither of us could fix. Because sometimes, love wasn’t about fixing what was broken—it was about holding the pieces together until they didn’t hurt as much anymore.

You're just gone. I was done. I was completely, soul-crushingly done. I locked the screen of my phone, my vision blurring with heat and rage. My fingers brushed over the ring again. This time, I took it off. It didn't mean anything anymore. I picked up my phone and called his mother, Fiona Moretti. She answered almost instantly. "Mother," I said, trying to keep my voice steady, "I'm sorry, but this year… I might not be able to make it to the family reunion, because..."

I just rested my chin against his chest and stayed there, not sure what to say. Because even then, I think I already knew— Something was broken. And I didn’t know how to fix it. “Time... it just keeps moving, huh?” I said softly, not really looking at him. “Things change. We’ve changed.” My voice wavered a little, hesitant to let it all out. “You ripped my heart out back then… but somehow, you sewed it right back in place—with love, no less. Like it had never been broken.”

Can't we start over, please? My smile slowly disappeared. "No, we can't," I answered, each word deliberate. "Zack, there's no going back for us." Zack opened his mouth to protest, but he noticed someone stepping out from behind me. "So you're the Alpha who broke my Maggie's heart?" Damon slung his arm around my shoulder. "I've got to see for myself the idiot who let my Maggie slip away." I gave Damon a helpless look and whispered a warning. "Damon!"

“I’ve already told you most of it. My childhood ended when I moved to the castle. I don’t want us to talk about it. It makes me uncomfortable, and it’ll start giving you ideas.” “Ideas?” “Yes… that I’m a broken man and you can fix me. I don’t want you to feel like you married a specimen for some experiment.” Maybe I would’ve been tempted to do that. Maybe. Just maybe. Because sometimes broken things feel like they need fixing, and maybe I would've wanted to be the one to do it. But I also know I don’t want to be anyone’s project. If I were to love him,I would love genuinely not repair him but I'm in love with him and I'm out to break him. I try to push my plans aside and focus on this. On be
