Trying To Leave Something Behind Novels & Stories

“Drop your keys before you leave.” “The lease hasn’t expired yet and my name is on it so I still have access to the house.” I smiled at her. “But I do not wish to stay in the same place as you anymore so I’ll drop them when I am done packing everything that belongs to me,” I emphasized everything so she would know I wouldn’t leave one thing behind.

Molly I can't deal with this anymore so it's now or never. It may not be the time for this conversation but it's happening. I may be leaving soon but still, this conversation needs to happen for Tom's sake at least. I may be gone soon but I don't want anything left behind that he will be left to deal with.

she finally said. "What did he want?" he asked in a gruff voice, he wasn't happy hearing that name. "It seemed Auxton Oaks was listed in the merger but it wasn't specified what will happen to it following the divorce. I told him he can retain it." "Auxton Oaks? I would very much like to have that property back." "You do?" "Yes that property matters a lot to me. I will talk to Claire about it." "If you value that property so much, then why did you hand it over to them in the first place?"

I asked trying to solve a small rubix cube I found under my bed. She sighed and answered, "Just because someone left, doesn't mean you need to change. If you want that someone to come back, then don't change what that someone has left to you." She said touching the decorationof my door. Grandma has a point. I wish I told that to myself when everybody left me behind. But I'm not left behind by everyone, I have Grannies.

I had a lot of things on my mind, and I'm not sure if I'd ever be able to get them off my mind. I'm not leaving because of something someone said to me; I simply want to take a break; at first, I wanted to sleep forever when Cherry was settled in her life, but now that I think about it, I still have to see you guys getting married and having kids, so don't worry, I won't die easily; I'll return when I think the moment is right; don't look for me; the more you look for me, the more you'll lose me. “Wh… What is all this? How could she just leave us behind like this? Does she even know what it means?”

"Happy anniversary, honey! We're going to stay at Wildrose Estate today, where you'll finally get to see the sea of flowers I've prepared for you by tonight." I smiled without saying a word. I took out the divorce papers I'd prepared and pushed them toward him. "Sign them." I'd already flipped to the last page. Claude took them and signed without hesitation. I froze for a second. "Are you not even going to check what it is?" Claude didn't seem to care. "Isn't it just an adjustment to the IVF plan? We've always signed something like this whenever it failed before." I held the flash drive in my hand, feeling nothing but irony.

Despite the circumstances, Claire had made it as cheerful a home as possible, with fresh flowers on the counter and bright curtains over the window. She’d enjoyed decorating the space over the last few weeks. Now, looking around for a moment, she realized she was going to miss it when she left. But leaving was exactly what she needed to do. That scene with Nathan in the exam room had proven it. If Claire wanted to build a life of her own, she needed to leave the pack in order to do it. But how? She knew she needed to leave, but the steps to take to actually do that felt overwhelming. Where was she even going to start?

I lean back against the wall. The hallway is quiet. Too quiet. Of course she thinks that. Of course she left like that. That’s exactly how she would do it. Clean. Contained. Like she’s protecting something. I type. Stop. Delete it. Start again. No. Not like that. I don’t need to convince her. I just need to be clear. I type again. I don’t agree with you. I look at it. Leave it. Add another line. But I understand why you left.
