When I Get To Where I'm Going Novels & Stories

The tension in the air only heightened my sense of urgency, propelling me forward on my mission. Each step brought me closer to my destination—the door that stood as the final barrier between me and the answers I sought. The weight of the situation pressed upon me, threatening to break my resolve, but I refused to let it sway me. I had come too far, endured too much, to turn back now. I approached the grand entrance, my heart racing with a mix of anticipation and trepidation. The echo of my own footsteps reverberated through the hallway, a reminder of the importance of the moment. Taking a deep breath, I steadied myself for the encounter that awaited me beyond that door.

My panic started to rise, when Nana's voice calmed me, Do not overthink. Go one step at the time. Be brave for one second. These three lines always help, like my mind just ignores the panic. I am brave. With that I was on my way to school. Getting out of my car, I was greeted by Anna and her fellowship. This is just what I needed to help with my anxiety. One day I will stand up to her, just not today.

I get out before I realize what I am doing. “Where are you going? What’s wrong?” Ms.Raven asks. “Nothing, I just . . . I need uhh. To get fresh air,” I mumble. I know how stupid that sounds but I don’t care. “Be right back, I just need a second.” I march away quickly before she can follow me.

"Where do you think you are going?" I swallowed down a lump. "...home?" It came out like a question, because where was I going? Keep aside the fact that I have nowhere to go, I also have no idea where the hell we were. He simply told me to get in the car earlier and I did, eager to get as far away from the pack as I could and I was more than grateful when the car turned in another direction. But I did not pay heed, and I have absolutely no idea where we are.

They never get you where you want to be on time. I zoom, my silhouette blurred, up the stairs, through the door, and out onto the street. My legs are pounding so hard I can barely breathe. It's only a matter of seconds before I'm out of the city and into our territory. I am traveling incredibly fast, faster than I ever thought I could run.

Find 'er now. By the time I reach the bike, I’m shakin' with adrenaline, my fingers barely workin' as I start the engine. No plan, no direction—just the overwhelmin', gut-wrenchin' need to move. To do somethin'. I tear through the streets like a bat out of hell, my mind racin' as fast as the engine, searchin' for any lead, any clue that will take me to Krystie.

Babump. Babump. Babump. Babump. To the pounding, erratic beat of my heart, I let the pull take me to my destination. "Where the heck are you going?" the red head called out to me. "Hey!" I didn't bother to stop. I was too focused. Every step I took, the pull magnified to a new level.

I try to ignore this thought as I continue, hoping for the best the whole time. I don’t know where I’m going, but I’ll have to find my way and fast.

I need to stay focused on my mission, whatever it may entail. I push through the revolving doors and step into the brisk evening air, my mind already racing ahead to the journey. The moon looms heavy in the sky, a silent reminder of the transformation that might await me. Determined, I start my journey, knowing that every step brings me closer to my fate and whatever challenges lie ahead.

I haven't even gotten to class before going through this. I packed my books and shoved it into my locker. Dragging myself to the rest room, I turned on the tap and wiped my face. A reflection of me mirrored my motionless body and pictured my puffed eyes. I closed my eyes and inhaled a breath. " Sebastian, you can do it. This year will soon be over, you are strong and smart, I think. Even though it is just the beginning of senior year, I believe I can make it", I said to myself enthusiastically as I tried to smile.
