Novel & Cerita The Day You Left

"I might forget how to act." "Doubtful." I leaned over and kissed him again. "See you tomorrow." "See you tomorrow, Tess." I climbed out of the SUV, grabbed my bag, and waved as he drove away. Then I headed upstairs. Tomorrow was the Fourth of July, and honestly, life was pretty damn good. 64 DAYS LEFT

my mom cooed in her usual sweet tone before leaving the room. A faint smile tugged beneath my lips because I refused to fall for lies anymore and outside the window the bright morning sun made the city look peaceful and beautiful but I knew better now that this was my second life and I would change everything and the first thing I changed was simple… I would not meet Richard Hale tomorrow. “I will never fall for his lies again!!”

"If one day I disappear from your life, what would you do?" He froze. His lips moved, but no sound came out at first. A flicker of unease crossed his face. He grabbed his drink and took two quick swallows before answering. "I'd go abroad with Demi and start over. Forget you completely." I met his eyes and said nothing. Then I stood up, walked into the bathroom, and climbed out through the window. I made my way to that street corner, the place where everything had started. I tossed my phone into a dark corner. Then I looked up at the moon and raised my hand, forming a small circle with my fingers. "Send me back."

She quickly whipped out her phone, but all the tickets were sold out until next week. The turnstile stood in my way like an impassable barrier. Something called exhaustion seeped into my heart. I stood here, separated from them by the barrier like an afterthought. "Let's break up, Zoe," I said. Zoe jerked her head up. "You're breaking up just because I forgot to get you a ticket?" "Yeah." I pulled my suitcase and left the station alone. The sabotaged pen story could stay hidden for a while longer. I'd love to see the look on their faces when the results were out.

When I was deep in love, I traded fifty years of my lifespan to save my girlfriend. Seven years later, on our wedding day, the System notified me that I only had three days left to live. I called my girlfriend, hoping she wouldn’t be late so I could have closure. Then, a phone began ringing behind me. I turned around to see her dressed in a white wedding dress, though it wasn’t the one I had chosen for her. She was holding my younger brother’s hand, and with her head hung low, she said sheepishly, “Henry is terminally ill and doesn’t have much time left. His only wish is to get married. Can you compromise and let him have this wedding?” My father chimed in, “An older brother should al

The first month of school, I found out the whole school was calling me a leech behind my back. That vicious nickname was coined by my childhood friend Sebastian's new influencer friend, Chloe. Because as far as they were concerned, I always rode to school in Sebastian's car, spent his Venmo, and lived near the old Rivers family estate. But that wasn't the truth. I brought my ruined homework to Sebastian and asked why he let them smear me. He just laughed. "It's a high school joke. Chloe just likes to joke around. Don't be so sensitive." "Besides, you're always riding in my car, following me around. People thinking that... well, it's kind of normal." I froze. Cold went through my whole body.

My dad had started missing me. “And I'm leaving on Saturday,” I broke the silence I hadn't planned when I would be leaving. Saturday would be the day after the next day. The only thing I had to prepare was the accommodations in Manhattan, which I'm going to do later in the day. Maybe at night. The day after the next day. Saturday.

Mom has terminal cancer, and her dying wish is to see me in a wedding dress. After I beg my boyfriend and my best friend 88 times, they finally agree to help me stage a wedding so I can make her wish come true. But on the wedding day, Mom holds on with the last of her strength, waiting until her eyes can barely focus. The groom never shows up. Neither does my bridesmaid. Then my best friend, Jolene Cohen, posts a photo. Isaac is in his tux, and Jolene is still in her bridesmaid dress. They're posing with a cake, both grinning at the camera. "My bestie was so nervous about her wedding that her groom came halfway across town with me just to pick up a cake. She's seriously lucky to have a

When you're gone The pieces of my heart are missing you When you're gone The face I came to know is missing too When you're gone The words I need to hear to always get me through the day And make it OK I miss you I've never felt this way before Everything that I do reminds me of you And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do When you walk away I count the steps that you take Do you see how much I need you right now? When you're gone The pieces of my heart are missing you When you're gone

Then I say it slowly and with much thought, “Yes, I do. I don’t think I will ever get over you. But, under the conditions you wanted me to live, I cannot. I refuse to share you with anyone, and I certainly don’t wish to have anyone else. That is a fact. So, if you feel that I am not good enough, and you need to have more than one, I am not your woman.” “Kaitlyn.” He says and then his voice trails off. He looks at me again with those eyes filled with hurt and I realize finally that I must leave before he wins. Opening the door, I get out and walk quickly to the office. As I enter the building, Mr. Sandhill stares at me and then approaches. Crap! I am late and he has no idea why. Now,
