When It All Fell Apart Novel Novels & Stories

After that, sure enough, Adrian didn't come back. Not even a single message. But there was one thing worth being glad about. At night, I could finally sleep without leaning on anything. That night I slept well, deep and dreamless, all the way through. Today was my last day here. I gathered up everything in this house that Adrian had given me. What could be donated, I donated. What couldn't, I burned. The fire roared and turned every memory of us to ash, the way our love would never be whole again.

Everything was falling apart, and I was all alone in the center of it. "Why me? Why is my life falling apart?"

With each floor, I felt pieces of myself cracking, breaking, falling away. By the time we reached Harper's floor, I was barely holding it together. She unlocked her apartment, pulled me inside, and locked the door behind us. The moment I heard that lock click, something in me gave way completely. I collapsed. Not gracefully. Not cinematically. Just... collapsed. My legs stopped working and I went down hard, suitcase clattering beside me, and the sound that came out of me was animal. Raw. Broken. "I've got you." Harper was on the floor with me, arms around me, holding me while I shattered. "Let it out. Just let it out."

I was tired of falling apart. When Nikolai broke my heart, I cried all day and night. I was completely shattered over what we lost. But this wasn't the same thing. Levi hadn’t betrayed me. He had not lied. We got too close to something at the wrong time. And I refused to kill myself over what might have been.

I hit end call. That witch thinks she can get next to me again. I laugh at the thought. I don’t care what anybody says about it. She thinks that she can lie to me, betray me, and everything is going to be okay. I shake my head. What am I saying? Of course, that’s what she thinks. That girl has always been trouble, but against my better judgment, I overlooked that. That’s a mistake I will never make again. She’s a spoiled rich girl who is used to getting what she wants. Her father babied her because her mother abandoned her, and she was his only child. She’s crazy, and spoiled all rolled up in one, and that’s some shit I want nothing to do with.

Kylo moved fast. In just three days, he'd completely bankrupted the Cullen family. The Cullens had always been a third-tier family with an unstable foundation. It had taken them ten years to climb to their current position. But bringing them down was child's play. "I heard the Cullen estate caught fire in the middle of the night. All their documents burned. Nora's parents died in the fire, and she herself barely survived. But her entire body is covered in burns. She's hardly recognizable anymore.

At least then I could make some money. My stomach sunk lower when I saw the entire meal was destroyed. During his angry spell, Rick threw the food on the floor. The chicken was covered in dirt. As if he took his precious time stepping on each piece. The rice was scattered around. I sighed. It was the only thing I could do. Refusing to shed one more tear tonight. Gathering my strength, I reached for the broom and commenced cleaning the mess. By the time it was midnight I was back in my room with a growling tummy. I lay there revisiting the idea of breaking a few laws to put some money in my pockets. It was on nights like this that I felt the need for cash more than any.

There were only a couple of other kids that chose to read over the computers. I browsed the bookshelf searching for a book to read, my step-father set fire to all my books in the wheel barrow when he first moved in with us. I picked a book up from the shelf, my father had bought me it before he died, I was surprised to see it in a school library. The Darkest Minds. I found my way over to a comfy seat in the corner of the room. Fishing out my glasses from my bag I made sure no one was looking before I put them on. "Hey." A boy interupted me three chapters in. "I'm Aaron." Peeking up from behind my book I saw a guy staring at me with a huge grin on his face. I had no idea how long he had been

Tears streamed down my face as I realized that in a single night, I had lost the trust of someone I cared deeply about, and my refuge had been transformed into a shattered, lifeless shell of its former self. I couldn't hold back the tears as I sat in the wreckage of my apartment, surrounded by shattered remnants of my life. My tablet lay in ruins on the coffee table, its once pristine screen now a spiderweb of cracks. The once comfortable couches were torn and defiled, stuffing spilling out like wounded soldiers. Broken mirrors cast fractured reflections of my shattered world. With trembling hands, I began sifting through the debris. Each item I touched felt like another stab to my heart. Th
