Starting Over Without You Mga Nobela at Kwento

“I’ll start from the beginning then and please believe me I never wanted to hide this from any of you It’s just that I did not know what to say and most importantly I was just scared of being judged. You all are the most important people in my life disappointing you was never something I wanted to do. I wanted you to all be proud of me and I didn’t think by telling you the truth at that time you’d regard me as how you used to before that’s why I decided not to tell you the truth sooner.” I started from the very beginning while reminiscing in the memories. “When we left for school four years ago, we didn’t go directly to Italy we went clubbing in New York. It was just our own way of having fu

“Sure. But it’s only normal for normal families. And there’s nothing normal about us.” “Then let’s be normal,” he says, suddenly stepping too close. His fingers wrap around mine, firm and unyielding. “I’m not Caden Lawrence anymore, and you’re not the same Vivienne Sinclair either. Why not start over? Something new. Something that lasts forever.”

"But that does not mean I know what to do with all of this. With us." "What if we started over?" he asked gently. "No pressure to be anything we are not ready for. No waiting for things to happen. Just us. Getting to know each other again. Like we are meeting for the first time." Like people who had never met before, I thought. Like two people learning about each other without all the hurt and memories getting in the way. Seeing each other as we are now, not as we used to be. I looked down at our hands joined together. Then back up at his face. "That sounds fair."

But I forced myself through it, jaw clenched, breathing slow. He watched me the entire time. “You’re still shaking,” he said quietly. “So are you.” He didn’t deny it. When I finished, I wrapped his arm carefully. My touch lingered longer than necessary. I didn’t pull away immediately. Neither did he. The silence stretched between us, thick with everything we hadn’t said yet. Finally, I spoke. “Is this what you meant by starting over?” He exhaled. “It’s what I can give you right now. No shadows. No handlers. No names that matter. Just… us.”

His eyes went back to the road. "Part of starting a new life is being able to trust people again. Are you even trying?" I stared. Could he not tell that I was? I was talking to him. I was going to parties. I was acting normal. "It's hard. I don't think you understand." "No, I don't," he answered, "but I'm trying." I sighed. " You should try once more. Start over one more time. Try and make things right with with the ones you feel like you can't trust or that you got off on the wrong foot with. Start fresh." I turned and faced the window. I could think of a few names I may need a fresh start with.

not his apologies, not his love, not his knowledge of where I was going—would stop me. Nothing. I was leaving, and I wasn't coming back. Not for him,not for anyone. Just moving forward. Into the unknown. Into London, into the rest of my life. Without Damon, without the pain. Without any of it. Just me and my baby. Starting over.

Nothing but emptiness "I know it’s incredibly tough to see beyond the pain. But things can and do change. It might not happen overnight, but there’s hope, even if it feels distant. I’m here to support you, to help you find that hope again. She said with a genuine soft smile across her face. "Thank you. I just… I don’t even know where to start.” I said "Starting over can be the hardest part. Maybe just take it one step at a time and explore different ways to find your own way. And remember, I’m here for you every step of the way." Eliana said

“I mean, after mom died… how did you know it was okay to move on? To start over with someone new?” He sighed heavily. “First of all, let me tell you,” he said, carefully, “there is no ‘starting over,’ ever. You just keep moving forward, turning the page of each chapter and meeting the characters as they come.” A flash of melancholy crossed his brow, and I wondered if I made a mistake bringing this up.

She kissed my cheek and slammed the door on her way out. “Sure,” I muttered, wiping the lipstick off my face. And just like that, silence crept back in like a bad habit. One thing about starting over—I have to get used to what’s missing. Like waking up without flirtatious comments. Or a wink from Johnny. “Why the hell are you even thinking about him, Cassidy?” I muttered to myself. “Get over it. You’re done with him.” I sighed, tossing the book lazily and reached for the remote, flipping on the TV.

Didn't care that I was pregnant. "When you wake up screaming—does that child ever show up in your dreams?" I stepped back. Calm. Steady. "Memories don't disappear. But my world is my husband and my daughter now. As for people who don't matter?" I shrugged. "I stopped caring a long time ago." I gave him his own words back. "Whatever we had is over. Completely." He staggered back. Face white as a sheet. I was done. I took Adrian's hand, ready to leave.
