Since I'm alone, it wouldn't matter if I jumped or not. Life can't get any worse than it is now. Lonely. Afraid. Weak. My heart feels every inch of my pain and, it too, wants me to jump. I can start over; feel remorse; feel free again. Maybe even happy.
I bend my legs, about to launch when I get interrupted.
"Stop! Don't jump!"

Darcy is broken, stuck in her world of darkness. Toby made the mistake to place all of the weight on her shoulders. There is nothing he regrets more than what he had done to her. But, does he tell her? Show her? Nope. Lets her go on with thinking the same old thing. "I wasn't good enough"
But, what will happen when he explains himself? Will the love be found once again, or will it only fall in to a world of unforgotten sorrows?

Unfinished Vows
"I wanted to hate him. I wanted to walk away without a second thought. But how do you forget someone who still lingers in your every breath?" Kate thought she was finally free. Three years of a cold, loveless marriage to Dev-her arrogant, emotionally distant husband-had left her shattered. Now, with divorce on the horizon, she should be relieved. But when circumstances force them to live under the same roof again, she realizes something is different. Dev isn't the same man who once ignored her existence. He watches her now, his eyes filled with something she can't quite name. Regret? Possession? Something deeper? Dev always believed he never wanted this marriage. But as Kate pulls away, he's gripped by an unfamiliar panic. What if letting her go was his biggest mistake? What if, deep down, he never truly wanted her to leave? Dev - "I believed you'd stand by me, even when I couldn't be there for you. I was wrong-you deserve better. I'll grow, I'll change, but I refuse to lose you." Trapped between past wounds and an uncertain future, Kate and Dev are forced to confront the emotions they've buried for years. But is it too late for second chances? Or were their vows never meant to be broken? A gripping tale of love, heartbreak, and the undeniable pull of fate. Will they fight for each other... or walk away forever?

Boss's Woman - Regretful Hero
-Completed- "I already said I am not dating her. Of course, I am not dating her." "Why would you give her attention then? I don't like it." She said whining. "Because she is overweight and I want to help. Nothing more, okay? She is just someone I am training with." He answered with a glimpse of impatience in his voice.

Enough | ✔️
#1 enough #1 notenough #3 in lifelessons #15 relatable "They say you regret the things you didn't do more than the things you did do in life," I whisper, glad that I can still form a coherent sentence with him so abnormally close to me. I would barely have to extend my arm halfway to touch him. I become painstakingly aware of every movement, watching his dark eyelashes flutter with every blink. He moves impossibly closer, eyes still concentrated on my lips. I swallow anxiously, forgetting how to breathe. "Well thank fuck for that," he mutters, before a hand against the back of my neck pulls us together. --- Never put effort into anything, I told myself. It will never help you. It will never beat those around you. You will never be competition for those geniuses. You will never be wanted by anyone in your life because there's always someone better than you. You will never amount to anything. You will never be good enough. I will never be good enough. And then I met Slater. Began: 2nd September 2016 Completed: 9th April 2018 (+585 days)Complete
