Hard to Hold On by Shanora Williams
Excerpt:
It seemed as if everything was
spinning around us. The sunset had faded into night but Nolan was still going.
The wind grew harsher, almost intimidating. It seemed as if a tornado was
coming our way from being so strong. If I weren’t mistaken, chaos was trying to
interrupt our perfect moment.
And then he just stopped. He
stared down at me, his eyes confused. Hurt. Lost. He didn’t say a word as he
pushed himself into a stand. I couldn’t help but stare at him. I watched his
every move. The way he buttoned his jeans sullenly. The way he ran his hand
through his hair continuously. Nolan looked down at me, his eyes clouded with
worry.
“I have to go,” he murmured, eyes
glistening. “She needs me. I have to go.”
I couldn’t speak—I wanted to so
badly, but I couldn’t. Where did he have to go? Who needed him? It was then
that I’d noticed that I wanted to stand but couldn’t. My body was frozen in
place and the only thing that seemed to be moving was my eyes. He started to walk
away from me, not looking back at all. I could hear myself crying his name but
it was like he couldn’t even hear me. It was like I didn’t even exist—like
somehow I had become invisible. Nolan’s walk turned into a sprint in the
direction of the moon and I continued to watch until he was gone. Until he was
completely out of sight and there was no remainder of his presence.
As soon as he was gone, I
happened to inhale and scramble to my feet. I was left in the dark, alone.
Terrified. Confused. I raced in the direction he had taken off in and searched
for him everywhere, but I couldn’t find him, no matter how hard I’d looked.
