Push Someone Away Novels & Stories

“Then you’d better not make any more mistakes. If you think pushing me away will work, let me make this clear—I’ll destroy anything that tries to take you from me.” “Including me?”

I would convince her to stay away from me now because of Naya and then I would distance myself from her but by bit. Naya did not seem like she was willing to make up with this best friend of hers and so in that case, I really did not have any use for her. It was better for me to just get rid of her when I still could. "But, I don't want to have to leave you. I really don't want to distance myself from you. Why do we have to do that just because of her? She's just making a big deal out of nothing really, she is just...."

"The 'back off' sign." "And why is that?" He raises his eyebrow and leaned forward, thrilled with what I'd say next. "Because no matter how the person wants to stay away from you and avoid you, they would just get pulled back right in and...well, they can't help it and just break the rules."

“WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT TO ME?!” Raina just smiled. “Because it’s fun watching you suffer.” “Really? Really?” I said, backing away like they were both possessed by some giggling demon of drama. “I need to move far away from you girls. Like spiritually, emotionally, geographically. I need distance. I need sage. I need new friends who don’t laugh while my life burns.” Raina tilted her head, still chewing her gum like it was popcorn, and Zia was just beaming like I’d proposed to her or something.

He removed my hand from his face and held it. “You don't have to feel sorry for me, that would just make me feel worse. And you can forget about this whole thing like it never happened. If it makes you uncomfortable and you don't feel like you can be around me anymore, it's fine. I understand. I'll remove myself from your service-” “What are you talking about? Why would I feel that way? It makes no sense. It's a normal thing to happen, why would I push you away?” My heart felt like it was clenching so hard.

And turned her head down for a moment. It was the smile of a woman who had heard that sentence before, in this specific context, with this specific quality of careful emphasis, and found it more informative than a confession. "He'll push you away," Patricia said, "Before he lets himself feel something. I need you to understand that. It's not a personality quirk — it's a system. He built it after his wife left, and he maintains it the way he maintains everything." She looked at her coffee. "The closer something gets, the harder he pushes."

They pulled me toward them and hugged me. Then he replied to those people," Look I also have some ill intention as I am hugging him like this. Now we both are the same. So you guys can go back to your seats. They just greeted their teeth and then stomped their feet while leaving. I just saw that happening in front of my face. After they left Arjun pushed me away as I was still in his embrace. I was going to say something when he said," Don't think I am permitting you to flirt with me. It's the last warning for you to stay away from me."

The offer was insulting and she pulled herself away. “You’re disgusting,” she whispered as she walked away from him faster. She was starting to feel on edge, afraid of what the man could do to her. As she thought he left her alone, he grabbed her again but she forcefully pushed him away. “You’re coming with me whether you like it or not.”

“I need you… sometimes. But not like this. Not when you think I can’t make choices for myself.” He stepped closer finally, closer than he had in days. The heat radiating from his body, the tension in every muscle, made my knees weak. “I can’t stand not having you close,” he admitted quietly. “Not for a moment. And yet… you push me away.” “I’m pushing you away because I’m scared,” I said, voice trembling. “Because every time I get close, I think you’ll leave. Or that I’ll get hurt. Or that… you’re still thinking of Sophia.”

“Do you think he’ll buy it?” She asked. “I think you should wait a few days, maybe take a day off and say you have something you need to do? That would make it more believable. That is, if you are for sure you want to push him away for good.” I bit at my thumbnail. I wasn’t sure. I just thought maybe an extreme thing like I had planned would make it easier to keep the necessary distance between him and me. “Okay, I’ll do that. That’ll give me more time to think it over too.”
