Novel & Cerita Never Look Back

There is no turning back now. "No turning back! I won't travel the same path ever again which I know will take me towards him. " With this promise to myself, I am trying to move forth. Moving forth and kept moving so that not a single moment of past could ever haunt me again.

I ran. No strategy. No pattern. Just speed. My feet hit the pavement hard, breath already tightening in my chest as I pushed forward without looking back. “Don’t look,” she said sharply through the phone. “I’m not,” I replied, though every instinct screamed at me to check. To confirm. To see how close it was. But I didn’t. Because now I understood something. Looking gave it something. Position. Awareness. Connection. And I couldn’t afford that.

My phone rings before I reach my car. Lucien. I let it go to voicemail. He calls again. Again. I turn off my phone. Get in my car. Drive away. And I don't let myself look back. Because if I look back, if I see him standing in that window, I'll go back. And I can't keep going back to someone who doesn't know if they want me there. Even if it breaks me. Even if leaving breaks us both. Some things you have to walk away from.

What if she went back and met the person or what if the person was waiting for her at the other end. Zren didn't know what to do anymore! She didn't even know why the heck someone was following her. If she remembered it correctly, it had been a long time since she offended someone, probably a week ago or so? Zren let out a deep sigh and finally came up with her decision. She would continue to walk further. If you were in a battle, never look back, or else you would be the one who would be going to be left behind. Zren's grip on the pen knife became even tighter.

"Did you notice something?" "Notice what, Marcus, that we are trapped in this shit cell getting fed human or dog meat?" On top was a red light flickering, "Look up, guys." "What are we looking at?" "That light flickering, it's recording us." "Nicole, was that there before?" Said Angela. "I dont know too much was happening, but now is our chance to get back at this, guys.”

The leather smelled like rain and old money. As we pulled away, the mansion grew smaller in the rear-view mirror until it disappeared completely. I didn’t cry. Eryss glanced over. “You’re not looking back.” “No point.” “Because you’ll return?” “Because if I do, I might turn around.” She nodded, approving. “Good. The first lesson, then: never look back. The past only follows when you feed it.” I looked out the window. The road ahead was dark, endless, glittering with city light.

Third person POV Marco watched Isabella retreat, a knot forming in his gut. That sharp retort… it wasn't like her. Had he miscalculated? "Did I say something wrong, my love?" Sofia murmured, her eyes glistening as she steadied him. He squeezed her hand, forcing a smile. "Don't worry your pretty little head. Isabella's just being… difficult tonight." He steered Sofia towards the treatment room, dismissing his wife as a temporary annoyance.

Tomorrow would bring new stories, new adventures. Luke was just a footnote in my journey, a reminder of the person I used to be. [The End]

When the show ended, heavy rain poured down, washing away all the filth and ugliness. A rainbow stretched across the horizon. I understood then that whatever didn’t kill me would only make me stronger. Now that I had a new life, there was no need to be chained to the past. I was no longer someone who stayed still. I would keep moving forward because only then could I find more beautiful scenery. My future was full of endless possibilities.

He takes a deep breath, smiling lovingly at me. "You never looked back", he gasps. "You always looked ahead of time. To the future, you can hope for. All those years we can be together. But I can't—" his words make my heart stop. "I can't only look at the future to be together. I always look behind and wonder what would happen if I stayed. We might already have a decade of togetherness and I regret all those things we could have had like any random couple in love"
