U Lie In April Novels & Stories

she repeated a lot clearer and calmer this time. “Why would I– Sure, I’ll swap with you.” April no longer sounded annoyed but intrigued. Lucian huffed, but I continued to tap nonsense into my calculator. I heard April bound over but kept my eyes on my nonsensical work. I didn’t want April to wait on my table. I wanted Clem to. That way, she was forced to talk to me a little bit. “Hi, Liam! Do you need anything?” April gushed as she came over.

He excused himself and approached me. “It’s time to leave, April.” He said and my face fell. It was too early to leave. "There's something more important," He said calmly but I felt cold as I touched my arm silently and nodded at him. Lily and her mate approached us. "You guys are leaving so soon?" Lily asked. "Liam has some work back at the pack," I lied hesitantly. Lily faced Liam. "April looks so pale. I know she doesn't take care of herself. You should take care of her," Lily said to him and his jaw twitched slightly.

"But everything the app recorded is true, isn't it? I took you to the dentist. You cried, scared of the drill. I held your hand, accompanying you there every time." He paused and added, "I learned how to bake your birthday cake, ruining ten before getting it right. We took photos at your favorite movie's locations. I kept them all. I made a mistake, but I truly care for you. Can't you give me another chance?" My grip on the phone tightened, disappointment washing over me. "Your love comes with a price. When you don't get what you want, you regret your efforts. Admit it. You only love yourself. You're here only because you can't have kids or find anyone better."

“What? What is it?” April showed a sly smile and leaned in as if she were about to expose a nasty secret of their government. Then, she said very slowly, “It’s also a perfect way to dig up the memories of the past that one of the people you hate will get annoyed at and frustrated at.” The MC gasped and backed away, with his hands covering his mouth. He stared at her wide eyes. “That’s—that’s perfect!” April handed him a USB flash drive with a scheming smile. “Here.”

4 After leaving the prepared divorce agreement behind, I began packing my things. I didn’t have much—besides what Joanna had already thrown away, the most important item was my mother’s urn. Just then, Joanna entered the room, her high heels clicking against the floor. With the Jack and Cameron out of the house, she no longer pretended to be gentle and kind. Instead, her face turned sharp and vicious. “Well, looks like the stray dog finally knows when to leave.” “Since you’re already going, how about I tell you a little secret?”

The silence is relaxing and beautiful-- this is what I need and what I want, the responsibility, guilt, and regrets were eating me alive but realizing and taking my time changed everything especially when Leira came into my life, the first time I saw her smile at me, while her little hands held my finger-- that's when I knew that I found the thing I've been looking for and it took me months to realize that but it was all worth it. The lies-- were made for someone to believe what they're not supposed to know and it's something we can't even avoid, lying and keeping secrets. When we love someone we intend to lie to keep them safe-- some were to keep them, it's not something to be proud of but

Justin said. "I didn't. I was intoxicated." April replied. "Well, the way your nails dogged into my back didn't show you didn't enjoy it." "Stop it," April warned. "I already told you how I felt about you last night. Why won't you admit yours to me?" "That's because I feel nothing for you ." "You're lying." Justin accused. "Get out of my office," April said. "Apr..." Justin was cut off. "Get out of my office... Now!!!" April screamed.

“You’re thinking too much.” April let out a soft laugh, “My sister is missing. My dad is in the hospital. My mom cries every night. And you think I’m just ‘thinking too much’?” Lauren sighed, “I think you’re drowning in things you can’t control.” April looked at her, “And you’re not?” Lauren hesitated then smiled faintly, “I am. I’m just better at pretending I’m not.” That earned a small smile from April but it didn’t last. “I’m not going tomorrow,” April said suddenly.

With that, I switched off my phone and fell asleep, oblivious to the chaos unfolding in the comments. [What's going on, Jilian? Going through a phase?] [Wait… Are you getting divorced?] That comment received a reply that said, [Shut up. Give her some space.] In a group chat with Harvey's friends, someone wrote what no one dared say aloud. [I told you Harvey went out of line by turning a whole celebration into a funeral. Whatever happened, he should've waited until after the event. Jilian looked completely broken that day.] Someone stepped in and spoke up on Harvey's behalf. [Come on, a life was lost. We'd all pause for a stranger, let alone a first love. Everyone has a crush they never actua

April held the laugh that threatened to break from her lips. “Since you have nothing to say to each other, then you should both listen to me.” Her face turned serious. “I once shared with you all that I was pregnant for my husband Ethan.” She said, “But since we have all gotten to this point, I realise there is no need to keep this secret.” April wielded a triumphal smile on her face as she said the words. “It was all a lie. I was never pregnant with him. Ethan can't impregnate a woman.”
