When Your Life Is Falling Apart Novels & Stories

The foundation of love she had built her life upon had crumbled, leaving her to navigate the fragments of her once-cherished relationships with a wounded spirit and a mind overwhelmed by conflicting emotions. Riya's heart, once whole and vibrant, now lay shattered into innumerable fragments, each piece representing the trust she once held for others. It seemed as if the very foundation of her existence had crumbled, leaving her adrift in a sea of despair. Waves of anguish washed over her as the stark reality of her pathetic life took hold. No respite could be found from the relentless tears that streamed down her face, a reflection of the overwhelming pain that consumed her.

I continued to read her CV to know more about her. I found something about her, though it was a little details. She used to live in the countryside, and came to the city three days ago in search of a job. It was the same day she fell down from the sky or maybe a building. The poor girl had to experience bad things on her arrival to the city. I felt bad and sad for her but why? I shouldn't think about this. Maybe because my head is hurting. I closed my eyes for a while to relax, but I accidentally slept off with my laptop beside me.

“You know no one gives a fuck about you and you're still trying all this shit to survive” “What do you possibly have to live for?” “What do you possibly have to live for?” I could hold the heartbreak no longer and I fell to the floor in a disheveled heap as my grief and helplessness poured out in a flood of uncontrollable tears. “What do you possibly have to live for?” Maybe, I shouldn't live... Maybe, I should just give up... I stood up with trembling legs and went to the bathroom. “Cosa Nostra's whore” “Cosa Nostra's whore”

Until now. Her heart ached her and she watched two years of her life burning in those pictures, and she felt this resounding defeat. And pain. And betrayal of being lied to everyday when her boyfriend called her on the phone to tell him what an awesome day he had had. She sat there in the church, but the voice of the pastor faded out and the only sound she heard was that of her thumping heart. The lights in the church suddenly grew brighter, sending piercing rays to her eyes, and she had to flinch and look away sometimes, until she retreated to just resting her head on the desk. Memories flashed in her head—of everything she had been through with him, of all the video calls they had had to k

Bo Ra said, “Yeah! He is the sunshine in my life. Because of him my life turned into heaven. He helped me a lot. He solved all of my problems.” Yoo Na said, “Sorry I opened your past. I know it would hurt you.” Bo Ra said, “It’s hurting me… but still my friends. They cared me a lot when I broke up with my ex. They bring joy to my life.” Yoo Na said, “I really envy you all. You are all talking about yourself only. You didn’t mention your family.” Ji Soon said, “We are more than a family. We advise you all. We will care you. We will beat you.”

My mouth opened, then closed, then opened again. But no words came. There was nothing to say. Nothing to explain. And in that moment, I realized— Everything was falling apart. Again. And I was standing in the middle of it. Watching.

This family is falling apart. Emily slipping away piece by piece. Charlotte breaking under trauma she hides from everyone else. Louis collapsing under grief and stress. Lucy alone behind walls. Madelin fragile on the farm. Barrett strained by responsibility. Charles drowning in guilt behind closed doors. And Maya, now actively working to destroy something sacred. Something in me cracks, a thin fracture along the interior of my ribcage. I press my forehead against the glass, closing my eyes. Why does it always come to this? Why can I not hold anything steady? Why do I fail the people who rely on me?

Tears escaped my eyes as thoughts of us flooded my head and the the thought of us ever being officially TOGETHER vanished. I'm an emotional wreck. I don't give two fucks about anyone or anything and I haven't eaten in weeks. Maybe I'm more miserable here than I was there. Who cares? Not me. I seriously don't care about anything anymore. I don't want anything to do with anyone. But the worst part is, I go back to school for the first time since I left tomorrow. Great. Ella's P.O.V Jack looked so sad and venerable yet so god damn fuckable. And since he's going on a fucking spree minds well get him while I can.

Like I'm standing in a life that suddenly no longer recognizes me. And right now? I have no solid reason why my life is falling apart like this.

But her words faded into the background, dissolving into the steady beep-beep-beep beside my head. My life was falling apart. My heart was failing. And nothing—nothing—felt like it could ever be alright again. I stared at the ceiling until the tears dried on their own. She kept holding my hand. But even with her sitting right beside me… I felt completely alone. Because my whole life was ruined. Because I was tied down to a heart that didn’t want me anymore. Because everything I touched turned to blood and pain. Because I wouldn’t even be able to take my first semester exams. I missed my last tests. I wouldn’t pass. I wouldn’t get the grade. My first year in college—already broken, already de
