A chapter from my WIP novel: Their Foolish Hearts Were Darkened.

Nathan is lost from the world, or perhaps, he wonders, the world lost its way from him. Troubled and conflicted, and desperate to fight off the enemy, even at the risk of abandoning true love, he allows a fall deeper beyond the safety of rock bottom to fight a true Hell on earth. 

Wake up calls ignored, and running far beyond empty, the hope depletes by the hour after s much needed package goes missing.

A Love That Shouldn't Exist by TheyCraveeLyric
38 parts Complete Mature
Hematite has always loved Gynger in a way she shouldn't. In a way that burned too deep, too dangerously-something fragile and consuming all at once. But instead of confessing, she settled for friendship, convincing herself that having a piece of Gynger was better than losing her entirely. For years, Gynger danced on the blurred lines between them, touching, teasing, and holding Hematite close but never quite enough. She moved in and out of relationships, never looking at Hematite the way she craved to be seen. Until one drunken night, when Gynger kissed her-and then pretended like it never happened. Everything shattered when a toxic friend exposed Hematite's long-buried feelings, unraveling the delicate balance they had maintained. Gynger pulled away, distancing herself and finding solace in a new relationship-with a man. Hematite was left behind, forced to watch as Gynger found stability in someone else, while she drowned in her own emotions. Caught between her obsession with Gynger and the lingering toxicity of her ex, Sevyn -a street-affiliated man who left her broken more times than she could count-Hematite spirals. Her battle with BPD only makes things more volatile. Love turns into obsession, desire twists into destruction, and the lines between passion and pain blur beyond recognition. As fights to untangle herself from the past, she's forced to face the truth: Some love stories aren't meant to have a happy ending. Some love stories are only meant to ruin you. Themes: • Unrequited love and emotional dependence • Psychological turmoil and obsession • Betrayal, self-destruction, and toxic relationships • Dark, slow-burn romance with high emotional stakes • The pain of watching someone you love move on A deeply emotional and darkly intense story filled with longing, regret, and raw passion. A Love That Shouldn't Exist is an aching, slow-burn tragedy about love that was never meant to be-but that refuses to let go.

"Garrett Phillips stopped having grand dreams when he was nine years old. It didn't mean his dreams were irrelevant or that he didn't dream at all. It just meant that he had a new view about what the important things in life were. Losing your mother at such a young age tends to change you and make you realize things like that." "He was in love with Garrett. And what was there not to love? Garrett was everything anyone could ever dream of and even more. But when Nathaniel Wallace closed the door behind him, enveloped by the darkness of his apartment, he let himself slide down to the floor and hugged his knees. His loneliness was his safety and he couldn't let Garrett in. But again, how could Garrett ever love someone like him? Nate was imperfection, mistakes, doubts, and weakness. Yes, his loneliness was his safety, but it had also always been his tragedy."
