A Short Story : A Story?

“So that’s it then? You’re just going to walk away? After everything we’ve been through just because things got tough?” she said as she wiped the tears from her cheeks with the back of her hands.

Tom’s lower lip trembled. “It’s my fault,” he whispered, his eyes shiny with tears. “I was so young, and I didn't know how to stop...”

The pad of my thumb slides over my cheek, wiping away tears. I step closer, putting my hands on her hips, pulling her closer. “I don’t understand,” I admit. “Why are you so upset, Juliet? Why are you overreacting? I went to a bar, drank a little, and kissed a girl.”

“What?”. “ I mean why did you want me to stay?” I answered. I just thought you had more left in you, and I think there still is.” he responded as he walked away.

Because of this, she started to miss her friends and teachers at the Moss,’ especially her best friend Mandy, even though she was treated badly. She also started to worry about the new place that she was going because of her past experiences. Being with a better family was so new to her that it was hard to face reality that she actually had people who cared for her. Going

I lay back down, glad that I had given her the anklet. I can’t believe how much she will miss me, even though we haven’t been that close lately, I thought as I drifted to sleep. I will really miss her, too.

“Darlin’, I’m so sorry that happened to you of all people. You are so sweet and kind. It’s just a downright shame.” Fiona reached out to stroke Casey’s trembling hand. “Go ahead and take your time, we have all day if need be. Why don’t you tell me about your daughter? I’m sure she was lovely.”

“Then how do you explain all the things that still happen to them now?” Savannah then asked me now sounding implacable.

Once again, his words were met with a desolate silence, and fearing he had said the wrong thing, he started to apologize, but Tom’s soft voice cut him off. “I just wanna go home.”

“Shhhh, it’s okay. Things will work out, but right now we need to leave.” Kara whispered gently, as she stared Aileen in the eyes and tried to comfort her.

"After that I went up to her, she said, 'You'll just forget me after this' and I said, 'No, I'll never forget you.' This was an unbelievable day and I'm glad to say she can have another day with us and I'm glad I was in the right place at the right time."

“We're home Coco. I guess we're going to have too start having a great wonderful exciting life together for what you have left.” This really worried me. I didn't feel like doing anything all I wanted to do was sleep. This was so depressing. But Max insisted on having us go to the park and through a ball but I just felt so down. I decided to go anyway for Max because I wanted to spend as much time as I could with him.

She nodded, gulping down her sobs. “I told him that you were coming to Vegas with Jenna. I told him that you called me and asked me to help you. I told him what a bastard you were for asking me to help you when I was pregnant with your baby and that it didn’t matter if you were still in love with her.” She sniffled. “I told him I wanted her gone. For good this time. And I told him I wanted it to hurt you. I wanted you to hurt so bad that you wouldn’t have any choice but to be with me.”

"This is horrible. Even though, it has been fifteen years, I'll never adjust to life without her." He wept. It annoyed him each time that he visited her grave and had trouble controlling his emotions. Returning to the truck, he promised to stop grieving for the love of his life. This is not what she wanted. I need to take care of a few things before I go home He thought going to the

Upon hearing her question, Hana winced at the mention of him. Not a name was said but the very thought of their relationship and memories still lingered in the depths of her mind and in truth, she hadn't forgotten about him. In all honesty, she still missed him, just slightly, the betrayal and breakup still fresh in her mind until now. Waterworks forming in her eyes, she nodded slowly, careful to not let herself cry and Seungwan rubbed her back sympathetically for her best friend.
