Until Your Heart Stops Novels & Stories

“The one I’ve been waiting for. Your strength will be mine...” “Screw you,” I spat, through gritted teeth. Ba-dump. Ba-dump. Ba-dump. My heart raced faster, the sound deafening in my ears. I don’t want to die. No, I don’t want to die. The pain intensified, and my vision began to fade. Ba-dump. Ba-dump. Ba-dump. And then... nothing. My heart stopped. Darkness consumed me as I drew my last breath.

My heart was pounding so hard I thought it would explode. Then, finally, everything stopped.

"There's no pulse. I can't find a pulse." "Check the carotid properly, girl," Kovac ordered, his voice thin, losing its strength as he leaned as far forward in his wheelchair as his harness would allow. "Do not panic. If the heart has stopped, you have less than four minutes before the brain suffers irreversible damage. Start compressions."

Bordermark breached.” Buis’ voice echoed loudly, a large warning sign on the screen but I kept going, thinking it was trying to stop me. But then my heart started to slow down, making it hard to breathe. I could barely take a step forward as I felt my heart slow to a stop and I dropped to my knees. “Warning, heart will stop beating in ten seconds. Ten, nine…”

My heart stops. My heart does the thing a heart does when a man has been saying I missed this and alive and good and I will be here at five and sleep and I do not know what it is yet but I am done lying about it and has not, in six weeks, said the thing that he is about to say, and is now saying it, in a car, on a side street, in Echo Park, on a Saturday, in the dark, in a way that is the entire thing. My heart stops.

The blade was still in his chest. "Isabella, look at me," Dante cupped my face. "Don't look at him." I nodded, but my body began to shake uncontrollably. Fear, rage, and a profound sense of relief washed over me, leaving me breathless. "I want to go home..." my voice was small. "We're going home now," Dante held me tighter. "Right now..." My vision blurred, and my body felt heavy. The last thing I heard before I passed out was Dante calling my name.
