Under And Alone Book Novels & Stories

“This is tasteless. Just tasteless.” I held the lurid paperback up like it was evidence in a crime. “It’s called Underwater Sex.” Only Alonzo would send me something like this. Only Alonzo would think dumping nearly a thousand books on my doorstep—delivered in crates so heavy the movers cursed—was some grand gesture. I hadn’t even wanted to accept them. But returning that many boxes would’ve cost a small fortune. So, instead, my friends and I had spent the afternoon in my spare bedroom, trying to sort through the chaos.

Do you like the idea of being fucked senseless by a pack of wolves who’d buy you like livestock if they could? The mirror didn’t answer and neither did Ivy for a heartbeat. Then she whispered, small and wounded, "I just… don’t want you to be alone if they don’t come back." I let out a short, ugly, the sound that sounded like a cackle or laughter “Alone?” I hissed, dragging the zipper the rest of the way up. It caught again on a fresh welt. I yanked harder. Pain bloomed bright across my ribs. Good. Pain I understood. “Tesoro, I’ve been alone since the day my dad died. Alone is my default setting. Alone is safe. Alone means no one gets to break me except me.”

She won’t know what it’s like to sleep alone for the first time in her life. I fight the tears that threaten to fall, grabbing a book and sitting on the bed with the bedside lamp on. I’ll just catch up on my reading. I’ve read the same paragraph over and over, the words refusing to register in my mind, before I toss the book aside and turn off the light. As I lay in the dark, I can’t stop the tears from coming. ‘You’re not alone,’ Minka says quietly in my mind. ‘I know, it’s just…’

I didn’t waste a second—I bolted for the door and ran as fast as I could. I could hear him shouting my name, but I didn’t stop. I kept running. Why is everything falling apart all at once? First, I lose my job. Then that letter. And now Lucas, the one person I thought I could trust. I found myself in a bar, downing drink after drink. It didn’t take long for me to get drunk. “What am I supposed to do now?” I muttered, staring at my empty glass. “Why is my life such a mess?”

Maddie yelled on the other side of the line. "Stop screaming, it's really late." "Well, that's one of the benefits of living alone." Maddie said. It took a while for Maddie to calm herself down, and only then, Selena could continue the report, telling her how he threw some cold water on her after that. "Honestly, he's such a gentleman. You know, it's almost impossible to find a man that cares about this kind of stuff." Maddie added. "If he was any other guy, he wouldn't care at all if you deserve the best and most romantic night of your life."

Sure I'd been able to make enough to pay off the rent but I could still feel the strong fingers clutching my arm like a vice.

I'm alone. Completely alone, except for my job, which is my life, and my two best friends, who have actual social lives. But I'm alone. I was alone in High School when my Dad was forced to leave and my Mother forcefully took my sister and I away from him. I was alone in College when I spent my whole four years studying and only studying for a degree no one but my father cared about, and I'm alone now, as I cry on my kitchen floor, with my dog, Pedro, who looks confused, because I truly have no one who cares with me.

Coupled with the fact that he was allergic to touch, Darryl had been living a very lonely life for a long time. "That is good news! That is really good news." Darryl cheered gleefully. "How is this a good news?" Abigail replied rhetorically and continued.
