Regrets In Your Tears Novels & Stories

It was the opposite of everything I'd had as Luna. It was perfect. I sat on the edge of the bed, my single suitcase at my feet, and I finally let myself fall apart. The tears came without warning, wracking sobs that shook my entire body. I cried for five years of wasted love. I cried for the girl I'd been at twenty, so desperate for someone to love her that she'd ignored every red flag. I cried for Theo, for the confusion he'd face, for the mother who'd left him behind even though leaving was the only way to save them both.

In his place stood someone utterly broken. His lips trembled. His throat worked like the words were stuck. Then the tears started pouring down his face. “Gigi... please forgive me.” His voice cracked, heavy with all the regret in the world.

And, now that it did, my heart thudded in my chest. It felt as though someone had dropped ice over me and the chilly water was now dripping down my back. My heart seemed to break all over again and it wasn't until tears filled my vision that I snapped back to reality. Hurriedly, I turned my back to hide my fast approaching tears. Derek couldn't see, he couldn't know that the mere thought of him getting remarried had forced these tears into my vision. "I'm fine, Daddy," I heard Danielle mutter with a forced cheerful voice behind me that Derek somehow believed, because he let go of Danielle and walked around me to face me.

Then, in a flash, Becky was holding his hand, and all I could see were their backs as I tried to catch up. When I woke up, my face was wet with tears. The door to the basement swung open, and the butler gave me a nod. "Ms. Gilbert, Mr. Gilbert says you've been punished enough. You can go now." I dried my tears, hauled up my heavy body, and went straight to my room to pack. I was not just leaving the basement. I was leaving this house for good. I did not want my last days to be filled with pain. I just wanted to find a quiet place to be alone and let go.

"I know you never listen to anyone, so I'm not going to bother talking you out of it." Lucy lounged back on the couch in a relaxed posture as she spoke to John. "I just hope you'll think this through. If Sierra and Tommy walk away over this and never look back, are you going to regret it?" John held the bottle in his left hand and poured himself another drink without saying a word. There were already too many regrets in his life. The one he regretted most had happened when he was still young.

Her body shook as she sobbed into his chest. "Caleb," she whispered, her voice trembling, "I dreamt that Grace came back... that she wanted her kidney back... and that you... that you fell in love with her again, leaving me behind." She pulled back, her wide, tear-soaked eyes searching his face, her voice small and trembling. "You wouldn’t do that to me, would you? You wouldn’t abandon me for her?" I watched as Caleb’s jaw tightened, a flash of something unreadable passing through his eyes. For a brief, fragile second, he hesitated.

Stella reached out to Eric with her hand and spoke softly and tenderly. "It's all over for now. It's time for you to chat with my parents." "You're right. They must be tired of waiting." The spark in Noel's eyes gradually dimmed as he watched them walk away while leaning against each other. He felt a pang of pain in his heart. It hurt so much that tears welled in his eyes. Noel felt something leaving his body and floating away. He knew he could no longer get it back.

I thought back to five years ago when I foolishly rebelled against my parents, even cutting off ties with them. Now, here I was, battered and bruised, left with nothing but regret. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized the weight of it all. Seeing me cry, Titus, who had been visibly angry moments ago, suddenly panicked. "Wait, you're really crying? When I got your text yesterday, I rushed back. Who hurt you? Tell me, I'll make them pay! "Mom and Dad are downstairs. It's been five years. They've really missed you."

Her smile grew wider yet not even expressing the joy she was feeling by half. Tears glistened in her eyes, her smile never fading, and a single droplet came tumbling down her cheek. Her small hands raised to his smooth face and cupped it gently. Romeo no longer had a smile on his face though. His gentle expressions morphed into deeper confusion and pain. How much it hurt him just to see a single droplet of tears in her eyes. He immediately wiped it away, worry drenching his soul. "What's going on? Why are you in tears? Did my parents... Say something to you? Speak to me Cara." The questions left his mouth desperately after the other.
