We All Fall Down Book Novels & Stories

My jaw tightened. Bellowing in anger, I grabbed a rock from the ground and hurled it in their direction, wishing that we could all perish together. As the mafia's Soldato, Jimmy dodged the rock with an agile move. Then, he charged at me and sent a kick right in my stomach. I fell to the ground and threw up a mouthful of blood. The pain drained the color from my face. Lilyanne let out a terrified scream as she took a few steps back before stumbling backward.

"Kyaah!" To my great surprise and shock, I stumbled backward, my foot losing its balance, causing me to lose my footing. I ended up sitting clumsily on the floor, and the three heavy books I was carrying slipped from my grasp, scattering across the floorboards with loud thuds that echoed through the empty corridor. "You okay there?" I shifted my gaze upward towards the person standing over me the moment I heard that familiar, calm voice. Of course. It was Eros.

She looked young, so she was probably still in high school. "Hey, lover boy! Let's go!" Landon shouted as the team finished packing and was ready to go. I got into the van where everyone was waiting. Not everyone, though. Kasey has already fallen asleep at the back. Landon was sitting cross-legged and playing with his I pad. I didn't want to bother Clark since he was probably tired too so I decided to listen to music instead. I rummaged into my bag, looking for my earphones, when an unfamiliar notebook fell.

I needed a textbook so I could answer the question I was working on, so I told Jasmine that I would be right back. I stood up and headed for the section where the textbook I needed was. I let my hair down then repacked it firmly before I checked through some books. After a while, I eventually found the one I was looking for, but it was way above my height. As I reached out my hand to pick the book, someone pressed me against the bookshelf and grabbed the book. I turned around immediately and that was when I recognized the person. It was Ryker. A sense of Déjà vu washed over me as I remembered the first time we met at a mall.

Mary continued, “Yuna, there’s more. A few days ago, remember when Daniel asked Mandy to book a hotel to entertain clients? Guess what she did? She booked a barbecue joint at a food market! “The clients were completely stunned when they showed up! I can still picture their confused looks, and Mandy just went on and on about how she’d carefully selected the place. She told everyone to sit down quickly, while the clients stared at the cheap folding chairs, looking like they were about to lose it.

I grabbed some sweats from the closet then headed to the bathroom to take a shower and remove all the makeup. When I got out of the bathroom, Nick was sat at the desk with Fallen in his hands. "This is a good book," he said as he looked up from the page. "It is. You should definitely watch the movie too, they really did the book justice," I answered with a smile. He beamed and gave me a boyish grin. "For you, I'll watch anything." I rolled my eyes with a small smile. "Are you coming downstairs with me?" I asked instead

"Besides, that was just an internal presentation, not the actual competition." A fire burned in my chest, and my blood boiled in my veins. I snapped, "What do you take me for?" My sharp tone startled him, and a flicker of unease crossed his face. "Come on. Yvette is just a girl fresh out of the irony tower. I'm doing this to help her grow." I turned around and left, unwilling to hear his excuses. He called after me, but I didn't turn back. ... The next morning, I avoided leaving at the same time as Elliot.

I said as I tried to stand up, but his weight on me held me down, and with this movement, it sent another roll of books falling down. Which one fell directly on me as I caught it and held it close to me for a few minutes before Luke could get his posture back? I sat there, not interested in standing any longer. As I looked at the book, it looked different, not like the ones I used to go through.

He tightens his grip, observing and knows that, the person reading that book, is someone he could never trust, and should never be. “Down, down, down. Alice thought to herself of how long will she fall and when will she be able to hit the ground. Even thinking that by now she is in the middle of the earth. With the latitude and longitude, even calculating her point and position and even thinks that she might as well went all through the earth.” “Silly, a bit silly.”

Stone and wood creaked, cracking free of its moorings before falling altogether. And then the floor fell away underneath all of us and we were falling down into darkness. I felt Caelum's arms gripping me, trying to shield me as we fell. Then impact, and it’s hard enough to knock the air from my chest. Pain. Dust choking my throat. Then nothing.
