Only The Good Die Young Book Novels & Stories

Holding the phone, Lucian stood at the entrance of the police station as if struck by lightning. Outside, the rain poured heavily, soaking through his body, yet he felt nothing. He rushed to the hospital in a frenzy, only to see a cold body covered by a white sheet. The nurse told him that before she died, Miriam had been calling out his name—and mine. She passed away in regret, lamenting that she had enabled Lucian’s bad behavior, that she had missed out on such a good daughter-in-law, and that she had ever spoken up for that “vixen” in the first place.

Third-person POV Adrian enjoyed the entire day with his friends. It wasn’t until they arrived at the hotel that they were informed the birthday dinner and the reserved room had been fully canceled. Everyone was exhausted and hungry, and complaints immediately broke out. Still, deep down, they all understood. Being ignored so completely on her own birthday, Julia was bound to feel wronged.

He'd never heard of anyone dancing right before they died. Soon, they arrived at the young man's home. There was only an elderly, gray-haired woman still living there. She was the deceased young man's mother. Once Darren explained their purpose, the old woman opened the door and let Cassian and the others inside. Cassian carefully asked her about her son's death, and it turned out to be pretty much the same as Darren had described. The young man had died abruptly, but just before that, he'd danced for a while.

She tilted her chin to the piece of paper in Ace's hold, "That's a piece of my journal." "Oh, trust me it didn't disrupt anything." She smiled and walked closer, "glad to hear that," she eyed the name inscribed on the tombstone, "Death is really something else, huh? Losing someone dear feels like losing a big part of you and your life you never knew existed. She was a good person, wasn't she?" She quickly turned to Ace who nodded sadly. "Funny how the world is: the bad prevail and the good perish."

‘I am now reading the second book you sent me, your favorite, Tuesday with Morrie by Mich Albom. Irina: ‘Oh yeah, that’s one of the best.’ I said and lifted a fork to my mouth. ‘Learn from it by heart, the book tells you about time and death and other things in between. It’ll tell you simple and priceless things in life,’ I added. ‘It goes like, we live not just to make a living but to really live life, and have no regrets when death comes to us,’ I said and put down the fork to the small white porcelain plate. ‘Morrie teaches us to love and be human.’

Thankfully the gun man spoke up, cause if I had spoken I won't even like what I would have said. "Dubem abeg free me, when you were threatening the boy with a gun you didn't know he was small then." Hearing his voice he actually sounded nice and harmless, but he didn't stop there "Joba bah??, Please answer my question" he face me again. Do I really have to answer. Goshh.

She also reeks of at least two males and their cheap cologne. “Welcome to the Flying Death Nina,” I say, as Missile steps back, reaches into his jeans and lights up a joint. When he passes it, I take a hit. She sits up, but Klunk’s wolf sits close and doesn’t let her stand. “The… Flying… You’re in the Flying Death,” she mumbles, her eyes wide.

My stomach lurches. “O…kay?” Heather sits up. “You seem messed up. Come sit, and I’ll make tea.” I shake my head, following her instructions anyway. I can’t sit until I stop vibrating. “We had another best friend, Theresa, and—and she doesn’t matter to this story, so I’m going to focus. Cool. Thanks.” I pace behind the back of the couch. “Ryan died. Senior year. Car accident.” I can’t say anything more than that without my whole stomach pushing itself out through my mouth. Even that much burns like acid.

As the last words left his mouth, a gunshot cracked through the air. "Ah!" "Call an ambulance! Hurry!" Strangers around us shouted in panic. I didn't turn around. All I saw was the armband from the Navarro casino, splattered with bright red blood. A gust of wind blew past and carried away the tear that had just fallen from the corner of my eye.
