Why Do I Cry And Laugh At The Same Time Novels & Stories

Ana shooked her head chuckling to herself and hissed when she felt the muscles in her shoulders getting pulled again. Feeling the pain all over her body again - the pain she thought she had gotten used to, tears started to stream down her face. They say that darkness that can people go mad, maybe that's what was happening to her as she felt like laughing and crying at the same time which was not normal.

“Don’t apologize. I’m glad you told me.” She sniffed, her nose turning pink. Laughed again, this time watery and choked with emotion. “You’re gonna make me cry in public, bitch.” “Same.” I sniffed. We sat there for a minute, crying and laughing at the same time, tears mixing with smiles, people at the next table glancing over and then politely looking away. It felt ridiculous. It felt good. It felt ridiculous, absurd, like something out of a cheesy movie. It felt good, cathartic, like a weight had been lifted from both of our shoulders.

I would have just kept my goddamn mouth shut. “Hey baby, look at me. I'm sorry.” I didn't know what else to say or do, and my thoughts were conflicted at that moment. She suddenly burst into laughter, and I stood there looking at her, stupefied. How does one go from crying to laughing in a blink of an eye? “Who would have thought?” she laughed as she wiped the tears from her eyes, “Who would have thought the big bad Mafia boss has a sweet side to him?”

She bursted out laughing and it was so sudden because she didn’t stop until tears were rolling down her cheeks. Her eyes were red and I hated myself for making her cry but she was also laughing and I feel like I had something to do with that too. What do I do now? “Ah, I’m sorry, I really don’t mean to make you cry, I just thought—” “No, it’s not you,” she cut in before I could finish talking, “these are tears of joy and I can’t believe you caught on when I was trying so hard to keep it from you.” She continued.

I laughed. Hard. Because what else was there to do but laugh? Then cry again. I cried until my throat ached, until my body gave out. Until darkness wrapped me in its cold arms. And I let it...

He added while laughing at me. "Are you genuinely trying to comfort me or are you making fun of me?” I looked at him evilly and took the tissue he was handing me. "Well, I'm not good at comforting someone. So, instead of crying I rather choose to see you smile.” But after he said that, he took a deep breath and spoke again, "But, it doesn't mean you can't cry in front of me." He started driving, "Crying is normal when you are sad, hurt, or happy. I hope the next time I see your tears is because of joy, Lorain.”

I inquired, raising my grown up so I could bend to her level. She raised her head up and met my face then all of a sudden she started laughing boisterously while also crying as well. I had never seen someone laugh so loud and cry even louder. I didn't even know what to do at the moment, so I squatted before her, I joined in her craziness and began laughing loudly. “At least I know why I am laughing, so I won't be considered crazy. Do you know why you're laughing?” She questioned with a voice light but heavy at the same.

And one by one, they escape quietly, just like the tears that have been stuck in my eyes. This intense emotion is overwhelming me... it’s like a wave of fear and joy that I can’t even put into words. I don’t know how I can cry and smile at the same time, but yet, my face is wet from my watery eyes, and there’s a silly smile on my lips, a laugh that breaks out, and I don’t know if it’s because I’m happy or nervous, and maybe it’s both. I don’t know how to react. Is there even a right way to respond to this?

"Of course, you have to do that, look baby, I don't want you to overthink things or be sad or be alone, do you understand? Whatever happens, I am always going to be here for you and our family," "I know that Rafael ," She said crying again. "I know that that's why even if I want to be sad, I can't be because I have you, my mom and dad, Grace and our baby on my side," "Good, now let's stop crying, I don't like seeing my baby cry," "But that's the thing, I can't stop crying, I cry when I am happy and also get when I am sad, my hormones are not helping, so you have to be used to my crazy hormones."

Angela asked, then burst out laughing. I wiped my face, half-laughing, half-crying now. "Stop laughing,it's not funny".
