You Said Forever Now I Drive Alone Novels & Stories

"Don't be scared! I'm coming right now! I'll tuck you into bed. Nobody's going to lay a hand on you while I'm around." I watched her back grow smaller as she walked away, and looked down at my own body lying there on the ground. A single tear slid down my cheek. "Mom, why is it always me who gets left behind whenever it comes down to him or me? "See? You've gone and left me alone again."

Still harboring hope—even now. The taunts, the humiliation—they stung. But it was Ryan's silence, his passive watching from the sidelines, that broke her. That severed the last rope holding her above the drop. Tears slipped silently down her cheeks. She gave up.

He just turned away. I stormed out, fists clenched, the heat of my anger a stark contrast to the icy despair that settled around my heart. The frigid air of the hallway stung my cheeks, a painful reminder of the silent tears tracing paths down my face. One question, sharp and unrelenting, pierced the numbness: What promise had he made to Claire that could possibly outweigh our future together?

Fully. Forever.

Because sometimes the strongest thing you’ll ever do… Is nothing. No reply. No return. No relapsing into old patterns. Just walking away. Quietly. Softly. Completely.

In that moment, I felt genuinely fortunate to still have a retreat, a solid foundation to fall back on. Then my phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. As if possessed, I answered. The blast of club music screamed in my ear, along with the wild, drunken howls of a crowd. I frowned, ready to hang up until a familiar voice slurred through the chaos. Clearly drunk, Dario shouted, “To hell with marriage! To hell with family! I’m free now—no one can control me! Damn, it feels so good!” Around him, a chorus of jeers and cheers erupted.

“Now and forever. I swear on my life.” My cheeks rose as I smiled. “Good night, Dario.”

"Well, it means I'll always be with you. Forever." His eyes settled on mine softly, calm, and almost ethereal, like they were holding a promise. "And I..." I leaned into his chest, feeling his warmth, feeling home. "I was, I am and I will always be... Forever yours." The End
