Nothing Left For Us Novels & Stories

Someone who no longer existed. “I keep waiting for the fight to come back,” I whispered into the quiet. My voice sounded small and hoarse, barely more than a breath. “But it does not. There is only this… hollow. This feeling that I was carved out and left open. Every time you touched me, every knot, every whispered claim, you took another piece. And now there is nothing left to give. Nothing left to hide behind.”

and then I felt it. “It’s not consequence,” I said. “not balance. “not even the system.” The silence held because now that left only one thing. the thing we never accounted for. “It’s what we left behind,” I said. The words soft because now this was truth. the one we didn’t see. “When we chose the world over each other… “we didn’t erase that choice. “we preserved it.” The space cracked because now that meant this wasn’t loss. this was something that remained.

Theodore tenses “What now?!” I stare at what’s happening Feeling something I didn’t expect “…It’s not stopping us…” A pause My voice drops “…it’s letting us leave.” Silence Because that means It doesn’t need us anymore At all And whatever it becomes next We won’t be part of it

Three years after my family committed me to a psychiatric hospital, I finally managed to escape. But my freedom didn't mean much, not when the cancer had already metastasized. Knowing my days were numbered, I just wanted one decent meal. I used the pocket change I'd scraped together from collecting recycling to buy an ice cream cone—something I had never been allowed to try before. I stood on the street, happily enjoying it, when a metal chain suddenly whipped across my face. "Chantal is seriously ill, and you have the nerve to stand here enjoying yourself? I knew you always wanted her dead." It was my mother, whom I hadn't seen in years. She screamed hysterically, swinging the heavy met

Jason couldn't keep up appearances anymore as he shouted, "She's already dead! What else do you want?!" I took a step back and shouted, "I want her to pay the price she deserves!"

My husband, Jasper Anderson, never showed up for any of our daughter's activities and events. He said that there were thousands of employees relying on him for a living, so he had no time for what he called children's games. Still, he made an exception for Sadie performing Swan Lake for the first time. "I'll be seated in the front row." He promised her sincerely. The show had already been going on for ten minutes, yet his seat remained empty. I tried to call him many times in the lobby.

While I was with a client looking at watches at a luxury boutique, I spotted a Chanel bag sitting on the authentication counter. "You've got a great eye, sir. This bag retails for eleven thousand dollars, and the young lady who brought it in wants to let it go for under three thousand." As the sales associate opened the inner pocket, a hand-drawn dried-flower card slipped out. "May my girl never have another worry." I wasn't seeing things. It was the seventh-anniversary gift I'd given Veronica Hale, with a note in my own handwriting. The sales associate started chatting idly. "A young woman dropped it off the day before yesterday. It's already been authenticated. She said she needed ca

Gavin Torez, my half-cast beautiful ex, had called me out yesterday evening to my best ice cream shop and while I was snacking on my milk chocolate ice cream, he just said, "I'm sorry, I can't do this anymore." Almost choking on my spoon, I questioned him and he shook his head and left. I was so confused and heartbroken. Stupidly, I footed the ice cream bill and walked out to look for him but he was already gone. Called him and his phone was switched off. Gavin, the love of my life, had broken up with me for no good reason at all and it hurt so intensely. He was not even in my school, so there was no way that I could ask him there. And after a long time of thinking, I entered a club.

The bright street lamps outside made it look exceptionally beautiful. "Look. It's starting to snow." All traces of sleepiness immediately vanished for both Dylan and me. Dylan hugged me tightly from the back as we both admired the first snow falling outside the window. Then, he whispered into my ear, "I love you."
