Tonight I End A Four Year Illusion Novels & Stories

Four mumbled as I felt my heart sink in my chest, despite being able to have a lot more freedoms, I was still restricted and I knew I would never fully be aloud to do what I wanted when I wanted. "What about if stay the night there. Tomorrow is Friday and you can pick me up tomorrow night?" I try one hopeless attempt, and I feel my hopes slightly get up when is see something flash in Four's eyes before I felt his body slump, his hand reaching out and grabbing ahold of my waist.

Time to end this one way or another. ***

She continued "But all of my delusions came to an end when one day she suddenly came back home after being missing for a week, she was now abusing drugs as well, I was shaken up from this unexpected finding that my world came crashing down, I couldn't handle it anymore and yelled at her to stop doing these horrible things which escalated to further physical fight" --Faye's Pov from 5 days ago-- "You are such a bitch!!, you keep complaining every day even though I provide this roof over your head"

It's surging in with a screaming lull that tickles with dread, reminding me that the party is set for tomorrow night. Tomorrow! It's not so much about the party that baffles me! No. The day itself is the dilemma. Tomorrow marks the exact last, or is it our presumed, last day of the five months of the contract. The period is over. We are supposed to part ways tomorrow. Tomorrow?! Can you believe it? Because I can't! No matter how I try to come to terms, I just can't bring myself to embrace the facts, That this actually is the end for us.

“There is a beach party happening later tonight” “Great” “I will go change” I said I was about to leave when he grabbed my hands and whispered in my ear “Isn’t this your outfit for today?” I felt a unique feeling when he whispered “No” I whispered to his ear because I left I was about to enter the restroom when Nora stopped me

Julian whispered, the fight draining out of him, leaving only a hollow, determined shell. “Just four days. They can’t beat us to it. They can’t.”

So much had happened in four years—too much to even process—but now that it had really started to kick in, I decided not to think about the past or the future. Not now. That meant no Baelor, no Mom, and no lies I had been carrying for years. Just for one night, I wanted to forget it all and enjoy what little time I had left here. Seeing Claire and Greg just now made me want to appreciate all the time I had left with Alaric.
