Guilty
Author: ArianaWhen I'm not crying secretly under the covers, I hide as inconspicuously as possible from Claire's company. After I somehow managed to report on the visit to Jake's parents - although of course I justified my hasty departure differently than that a world had collapsed for me - I only had a makeshift conversation with Claire and my absence in justified our common rooms with the fact that I still have a few things to do at the university for the last week. Fortunately, she's really too busy enj

The Heartbreaker (Completed) Epilogue
I look down in shame and nod. "I've been asking myself that over and over again in the last few days, but I can't find the answer," I mumble softly. “I was so scared you would break my heart, but actually I already did it myself by pushing you away from me. And I'm so sorry that I hurt you too. That I broke what we had together ... ”I wipe the tears from my cheeks with both hands. “I'm so sorry, Jake. I'll make it up somehow. If you ... if you give us another chance. I totally understand that you cannot forgive me immediately, but ... " The words get stuck in my throat as he releases his rigid posture and approaches me, bridging the distance and stopping right in front of me. My eyes soak up every inch of his beloved as I slide my gaze up to his face, and my heart skips hard as he puts his hands to my face and wipes away the next gush of tears with his thumbs."But?" He asked.I can no longer think clearly because he is so close to
The Heartbreaker (Completed) THE END
This smile. It's still so familiar to me, even if I haven't seen it in a very long time. When I was little, it comforted me from grief, warmed me, and made me believe that everything would be fine because my mom always told me after something bad happened. Only later did I understand that she was smiling to cover up her own worries and the hopelessness. Your smile now doesn't seem fake, it's warm and inviting - and it comes from the heart.Before I can think any further about what I'm doing here, my legs have already started moving and bridging the gap between my mother and me. As soon as I stand in front of her, I only register briefly how good she looks - not at all exhausted, tired or sick. The next moment she pulls me into her arms and presses me tightly against her slim body."Hello, darling," she whispers next to my ear as I cling to her and let my tears flow.Her smell, her warmth - I missed all of it so much, even if I always made it up to myself that I
The Heartbreaker (Completed) My mother
The tension is only slowly releasing from my shoulders, the uncomfortable pressure in my stomach disappears and I can breathe deeply again.The mattress sinks next to me and Jake's lips gently brush my temple. "Done it," he whispers next to my ear.I look to the side and try to smile. "I can't decide whether it went reasonably okay or totally catastrophic," I reply, also quietly. Talking to Jake's family drained my last strength. If I lie down now, I will definitely sleep like a rock."Somehow both." He frowns slightly, probably thinking back to the conversation. After we returned to his parents' house in the evening, his parents and siblings were waiting for us in the living room. Mr McAdams got straight to the point of our visit, which his wife had probably already told him about. His anger was mainly directed at Claire, who dared come into his house and rage around like a berserk . Jake stood by his best friend immediately, and then everything ha

The Heartbreaker (Completed) Head over heels in love
Of course Claire is right about everything she says, but I can no longer watch her beat Anne down. Not when Jake's mom clearly shows how much she regrets her behavior. She loves her son, of course, but she's caught between two stools. And Claire's finger pointing only makes her situation more unbearable.This will probably also be clear to Claire, because in the next moment she sits down on Anne's other side and covers her hands. "Show Jake that you're proud of him," she says, this time in a gentler tone. “Show him that he did absolutely nothing wrong. Whether your husband agrees or not, you are his mother. Everyone needs their mother, and every mother must not just watch her child suffer. Get his trust back. "I swallow hard when the picture of my mom pops into my mind's eye. It's been a good four years since I last saw her. And I absolutely do not know what happened in her life at that time. Again and again I wonder if she's okay ... if she's even still alive.
The Heartbreaker (Completed) Cry with her
The journey seems forever to me. Much longer than my escape two weeks ago. Probably because at the time I was numb inside and now I can hardly wait to finally reach our goal.We change several times, spend the night in a small hotel and definitely not go back by train or bus. But even if sitting for a long time is quite exhausting for us, we enjoy this trip, which bonds the three of us a little more together, and promise each other to do something together more often in the future. Because we've been neglecting that lately. Mainly because of me and the secrecy or the heartache, but Claire had also made herself very rare because of course she is freshly in love and wants to spend a lot of time with David. It would just be sad if our friendship breaks because we no longer care for it enough. "Our cooking evening will definitely be reintroduced," says Claire, pointing to me. “And since you and Jake don't have to hide anymore, we can go out together in th

I nod. “But at least now I know it wasn't my fault. As stupid as it sounds, I've never been able to shake off these thoughts completely and have always dragged him around with me. "Jake frowns and thinks for a moment. "Why did he suddenly want to tell you the reason?""Well,
The Heartbreaker (Completed) That's tough
The corners of my mouth should be slowly sore, as often as I smile to myself that day. I guess that's because I'm spending it with Jake. Just the two of us, far from the people who know us and shouldn't know that something is going on between us. Already in the morning I slipped away with an excu
The Heartbreaker (Completed) Right now
Since Jake played your boyfriend a while ago to make Sebastian jealous, you could return the favor soon.""Claire, let it go," Jake says, and I look back and forth between the two of them, confused."I'm telling you this is a good idea," Claire replies, turning back to me. "Actually

I did it. There is no turning back, no possibility of doing anything differently. My thesis is finished and must now be read, checked and assessed. I can only hope and pray that I will convince with the content, because even after the most infinite time of improvement I was not satisfied, so I fi
