Stop Messing Around Novels & Stories

Waiting for the next take. Forever.

Resolve flooded my being. "Not this fucking time."

I fix my posture, returning to serious and nonchalant. "Forget it, let's go home." It's time to get back to the original plan and forget about distractions

By the end of the fourth week, I'd made a decision: I was going to stop trying to negotiate the terms of my own vulnerability. I was going to let this happen completely. "I want to move in with you," I said one evening, completely unprompted. Eli blinked. "Right now?" he asked. "No," I said. "But soon. I want to stop maintaining my apartment as a backup plan. I want to commit to this completely." "What brought this on?" he asked. "You," I said. "You've spent weeks reminding me that control is just another form of fear. And I'm tired of being afraid. I want to actually build something with you instead of constantly preparing for it to fail."

Sylvie was threatening to commit suicide—again. She stood at the edge of the building, started a live stream, and mentioned my name. I switched on the live broadcast and saw her crying in front of the camera. "Some days ago, I helped the husband of a woman named Lauren Falk get ointment for her after she suffered some burns. She left her hotel door open to seduce other men into satisfying her sexual frustration, but she later regretted it and called the police on them. I then got fired for leaving my post.

When you try your best, but you don't succeed When you get what you want, but not what you need When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone, but it goes to waste Could it be worse? Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you And high up above, or down below When you're too in love to let it go But if you never try, you'll never know Just what you're worth" Somehow, I believed my Mom was watching over me, and soon, all my pain and days of torture would be over!!

Let the decision lock in. No more holding back.
