We Happy Few: We All Fall Down Novels & Stories

I marched straight to the bar, pulled out the gold card Damian had given me, and slammed it onto the sticky counter. "Drinks for everyone in here," I told the bartender, my voice loud and wild over the roaring music. "Put it all on this. Keep them coming." The announcement sparked a sudden, chaotic cheer through the crowded room. Strangers swarmed the bar, raising glasses to me, shouting words I couldn't hear over the bass. I didn't care. I grabbed a shot glass, swallowed the burning liquid, and followed it with another. And another. The alcohol hit my empty stomach like fire, blurring the sharp edges of my reality until the memory of the makeup stain and the stolen cologne felt miles away.

She couldn't help but let out a small cry of fear. Everyone was in chaos now, and the noise was even louder than before. No one had time to care about her. Hazel was extremely anxious and knew that she was in big trouble this time. However, just as she was about to fall, someone suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him. He then twisted her body slightly and quickly, and she landed safely in his broad embrace. Before she could even catch her breath, she heard the sound of the champagne tower falling to the ground in front of them. Because the glasses were stacked too high, even with the thick carpet on the ground, many of them still shattered, making a loud and crisp sound.

The thought of spending the next few days with Joy-i was terrible, how would they communicate, in fact, how would they even manage to breath the same air without ripping each other's necks out? "Uh, Cerise…" Halo taps her shoulder, trembling. "Do you think you could drop us off at the safe house first?" Considering the safety of the only swan in the group, Cerise agrees, meanwhile Nicholas is pissed, wants this entire thing to be over with already. "Can't you just hold off for a little bit, are you that much of a scaredy-cat?" Nicholas sneers at Halo, rolling his eyes when Cerise glares at him. "He's a swan, he's the most vulnerable out of all of us"

Monroe too felt so relieved in her heart that she had leaned against the wall in order to not fall to the ground. The scene was beautiful. The story of a kid who struggled for his passion had now reached its climax. The story where Kendrick Huntington was able to reach his goal, with numerous hurdles and scars marking his path. Jeremy held onto Roy's arm and wiped the tears that had unintentionally escaped from his eyes too after seeing the happy moment. Giving up shouldn't be the option when you can only survive through winning.

"It's a strange coincidence. If she hadn't mocked me the other day, I wouldn't have remembered her. I wouldn't have taken the video either." "What goes around comes around," I thought to myself. As it turned out, my small act of kindness ended up helping me in the long run. On the contrary, Mia's evil deeds single-handedly caused her own downfall.

RPOV—One Month Later A raindrop landed on my window. I pressed my finger to the glass that separated us, tracing its path as it clumsily slithered down. It collided with other raindrops along the way; however, that only drew it closer to its fall. Before I realized it, my finger ran out of glass to glide on, and the raindrop vanished, now replaced by its brethren that fell from the depressing sky. "Wouldn't it be wonderful, if we could disappear and be forgotten as easily as raindrops?"

Least of all me. ---

"There's no shame in losing. The only shame is trying to get out of paying." He chuckled and flipped his cup open, only to freeze the next second. "What? How is this possible? This can't be!" I casually lifted my own cup. "Sorry. Five ones. Best roll on the table." A wave of panic rippled through the group. They scrambled to reveal their own dice, but not one of them came close. I scanned the table and said, "My luck really is something else tonight, isn't it? It's not much, though. Just a little over 100 thousand dollars from each of you."

(song: NF- Let You Down) While heading home, I realized that we had the same taste in music. We would increase the volume at the same time when a song we like starts and turn off the radio when there is a bullshit. The ride was short but very pleasant. It was one of those small moments you wish would have never stopped. We may not know each other well yet but I know that behind that rud

There’s such a sad love Deep in your eyes a kind of pale jewel Open and closed within your eyes I’ll place the sky Within your eyes There’s such a fooled heart Beatin’ so fast In search of new dreams A love that will last Within your heart I’ll place the moon Within your heart As the pain sweeps through Makes no sense for you Every thrill is gone Wasn’t too much fun at all But I’ll be there for you When the world falls down Falling Falling down Falling in love I’ll paint you mornings of gold
