Standing Next To You Novels & Stories

"For believing in me. For standing beside me. For everything." I pulled her closer. "I'll always stand beside you. No matter what." We stayed like that for a long time. The training room was quiet. The sun was setting. The day was ending. But I knew the fight was just beginning.

"Who was that guy beside you?" I asked, smiling secretly. "Who?" Bianca looked at me cluelessly. "The one you were standing next to. Isn’t he your friend?" "I don’t even know who you’re talking about. I was just standing there searching for you," she said, smiling. "What guy are you talking about?" Bianca asked again, trying to understand. "Let me show you."I turned her face toward him, subtly pointing at the guy in question. He stood there, looking uninterested—like he'd rather be anywhere but here Jayden,

Kenna At this banquet full of celebrities, I am getting a little tired of constantly introducing myself and talking to different people. At least Dante stands close to me. He has remained by my side and placed a hand at the small of my back sensing my mood. It feels comforting, maybe too comforting. I mean he’s my best friend and perhaps I shouldn’t like it quite as much as I do.

"Of course. It's your world as much as it is mine." I stepped closer, standing beside him as we both looked at the water. There was a comfortable silence between us, one that allowed me to collect my thoughts before speaking. "You seem different now, away from the party,"

“Don't worry I won't stand next to you while you shop, but I am going to be close enough to you so if something does happen at least I can react fast enough.” “You can walk with me, I don’t mind that.” Honestly, with what he told me about this new threat, I want him closer to me, I don’t want him to be worried something is going to happen and if it does at least his being next to me is going to make things easier for him and for me. “Are you sure that isnt going to weird you out too much?

I'm not even sure if there is still distance left between as you feel so close infront of me, towering the whole of me. I, then, tilted my head on the side a little as my brows furrowed slightly. I squinted my eyes as I observed your look. Meanwhile, there you are, just casually staring while smiling and standing infront of me.

He smiles and leans back up standing straight. The teacher comes over and stands in front of all of us, “Okay! Everyone find your partners and stand next to them.” I glance up at Gunner who gives me a curt nod, telling me I’m already where I need to be.
