Taking A Stand Novels & Stories

When it was over I sat back on my heels and wiped my mouth and stayed very still. "Okay," I said, to nobody. I got my feet under me. I stood up.

She wrapped my arms around my shoulders and leaned her head on mine. "Then we'll stand with you. No matter what… even if I dont remember." I smiled a little. "Thanks." The became quiet once more. The TV provided some background noise, but we weren't paying attention. "Do you think the judge will believe us?" I asked after a while. "We don't need them to know everything," Stanley said. "We only need them to notice something. To feel that something is not right."

“Nоt good еnоugh, Blake. Take me bасk now.” I stand uр, cross my аrmѕ оvеr mу сhеѕt аnd widen mу ѕtаnсе. I’m still a соuрlе of fееt smaller thаn hіm, but іt dоеѕn’t mаttеr. I feel ѕtrоng. I nееd tо gеt out of here bеfоrе I’m pulled bасk іntо hіm.

I watched them all every single time and I couldn’t be more proud than I am now as I witnessed them take a stand for something they believed in. The arena stand was roaring with applause, except from the Council and those who were not in favor of the abolition. Just by looking at the faces at the stand, I already knew the answer - the Claiming would stay. But I wasn't losing hope. I knew one day, someone would rise up and abolish it completely.

TAKEN fifteen Marcus worried nervously. He wasn't sure how he would tell Stella he wanted to leave home. He just got back from wherever he went to and he was not going to work today, what other explanation could he give if he didn't want to reveal his fitness practice to her. He paced the room three times beating his legs continuously. Stella sat with her phone as she watched her husband in disarray. He was casually dressed to go out but he looked bothered about telling her where.

It felt like it was my mum standing up for me. " I also want you to know that no matter what you do, you can't break us. You may think that you have won but your fall will be a great and a disgrace to you all. You can keep spreading all the lies you have cooked up against but we will stand united. I also know he will conquer you all and STAND AGAIN!!!." This definitely brought tears to the brink of my eyes. I was beginning to love this woman. "Yes! He will stand again." The interviewer said,

But I refuse to be intimidated. I straighten my posture, my voice is steady and firm as I respond, "You can try to break me, Julie, but I won't be silenced.

I took a step towards table and planted my hand on the surface with defiance, "Either you take me in, or I'll find my own way to fight this war. And trust me, you don't want me going behind your backs."

I hadn't done anything wrong or inappropriate, and I refused to let these people diminish my worth or judge me. Why should I let their opinions affect me? It wasn't as if Landon and Jason were fighting over who would sit right next to me. I wasn't about to run to the bathroom and cry like a baby; I wasn't going to give in to those tears. No, I couldn't, and I wouldn't. I had to stand my ground because, in this corporate world, I was determined to prove my strength and resilience. So, I sat there with my chin up, refusing to let their judgment define me.
