Without You Here By The Goo Goo Dolls Novels & Stories

Eleanor forced down the discomfort in her stomach and kept filming. A little girl, her face covered in blood, clutched a body that had already gone cold and cried her heart out. Eleanor's eyes stung slightly, but she kept pressing the shutter. Even after three months here, she still hadn't learned how to come to terms with the brutality of war. Just then, a sharp whistling sound tore through the air above them. "Get down!" Alexander shouted. Almost at the same moment, the explosion hit.

Goof stays by my side until it is time for me. “ Are you ready to party?” Niel yells into his mic. I hear shouting of yes. I hear Connor’s guitar for Bon Jovi’s ‘ Bad Medicine.

It was a staggering amount of data to process before I’d even had caffiene hit. Beneath the barrage of dating alerts, the "Margarita Senoritas" group chat was already a war zone of activity. I tapped into it to find a selfie of Cleo and Marissa. They were jogging along the avenue, looking suspiciously glowy and athletic.

We have enough money to employ someone to do this for us but we have always wanted to clean our gallery ourselves. After a few hours, we were finally done with everything.. "Finally, we are done" Serena said as she laid on the floor. "Let us get something to eat, I am starving" I told her.
