They Said I Wouldn't Make It Novels & Stories

“You don’t think the rest of us are going to make it.” “No,” he says. “I wish I did. But it doesn’t seem possible.”

“There used to be a way here” My voice was small, I didn’t know how to tell them that I’d let them down

I wasn’t good enough to fix this. I took a shaky breath, trying to steady myself. "This isn’t my fault," I muttered, more to myself than anything else. But even as the words left my lips, I could feel the weight of them. They didn’t feel true. They didn’t feel like they would make everything better. No one said it was. But if you can fix it, you’ll be the savior of the day. Instead of the one who…. “Don’t.” My voice was sharp, shaking. “Don’t say it.”

Still waiting for me to break. I didn’t. I acted like the didn't exist

They felt like a promise. And this time, I wasn’t going to lose.
