Chapter 22 || Let me go
"You know I never meant to hurt you, Sarah." Noah said as we drove down the road, nearing my house.
I snorted.
He sighed.
After a couple moments of silence Noah spoke again, "If there is anything I want you to know, it's that I love you. Just remember that."
I snorted.
He sighed.
"Sarah..."
"What?" I asked, with a bite to my voice.
"Please, would you just listen to me?"
"Why?"
"Because I love you."
“No you don’t.”
“You have no idea of the love I have for you, Sarah.” Noah said, letting out a sigh of frustration.
"But that's the things, Noah! You don't love me, you never have, and I don't think you will ever be capable of it! You just need to get over this, okay! I am never going to love you, I’m not your other half, and honestly, even if you did love me, I don't think I would be able to reciprocate it. Because this relationship we have, it just isn't healthy, nothing about it is healthy, you can't build any sort of love off of a foundation like ours. It just isn't possible." I finished my rant off with a huff air escaping my lungs.
He wasn't in love with me, sure there was some strange unworldly attraction going on between us. But attraction doesn’t equal love. Because love is not built on attractions.
Being attracted to someone is a start to loving them.
Loving someone was trust, it was faithfulness, it was believing in them, it was fighting through the hard times, even when you don't feel like it.
What we had was and is not love.

“You’re wrong,” Noah replied.
"Would you just, stop? This isn't meant to be, you know that. I know that. There have been red flags every step of the way, I have noticed them, you have noticed them, I just don't think you have accepted them." I said, crossing my arms over my chest, glaring out the front window.
"Shut up! Just shut the hell up!" Noah growled, bringing the truck harshly to the side of the road.
Noah ran his hand through his hair roughly, bringing them down to cover his face in a frustrating manner.
"Noah-" I said in an exasperated tone, “-You just, you just have to let me go, okay?”
His eyes shot me with a glare, "Thats the thing, Sarah! I can't, okay! It is physically impossible for me too. Sure, for you it might be easy to do it, but that's just you. You're human, you can get over these things. I can't!"
I gulped a bit, edging closer to the door.
"You are freaking ingrained into my soul, by the moongoddess. My grandmother of all people. Did you know I have goddess blood in me? You know how that affects the bond? You know how hard it's for me to stay away from you right now? You know how painful it is going to be for me to let you get out of this truck, walk into your house, and away from me? Do you know how hard it's going to be for me not follow you? But it doesn't matter, because according to you ‘this isn’t love’” he said putting his hands his hands up to make quotation marks.
"Because love is trust, love is faith, love is hope. Let me tell you Sarah, my love may not be what you think of as love, but it is love never the less. I don't appreciate you discounting it, and I don't appreciate you telling me to let you go, because there is no doubt that I will never let you go. In the day I will be reminded of you in everything that I do, and in the nights i will be haunted by your face in my dreams. You want me to let you go? Well it isn't going to happen." He finished off. Staring at me hard.

Then he turned the truck back onto the gravel road and drove down the gravel, up and down the two hills that came before my house, down my drive, and parked in front of my home.
"You want me to let you go home, well there you have it, you're home. You want me to let you go, that's the last thing I will do, because when I love somebody, it's forever, and I love you."

Realm of Fantasy Online
The launch of the first ever VR MMO is underway. Grey gets ready to enter the game and start his life over again. By unforseen trajedy he is forced to become a nercromancer and all the friends he has wanted his whole life shun him. If only he could log out. City building, Crazy magic, death and despair, necromancer, this book will have it all. I hope you love it. Authors note: Hey everyone, this is my first book and I hope you like it. I will be going back and redoing the first two chapters with blue boxes for the system messages. I was going to rewrite it in 3rd person but my two favorite LitRPG's are "Ascend Online" and "Life Reset" both are written in first person so I am sticking with it. -Hammy Schedule: Currently I am able to write a chapter a day but I need time to edit and live my life so I am aiming for 3-4 days per upload. This is a hobby afterall. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Ghostified City
‘Ghostified City’ is a post-dystopian sci-fi tale, set in a fading world that might be a future version of ours, running out on autopilot into oblivion. Adaman Yimmand is a simple robofactory operator in The City who's working with robots and machines every day. He doesn’t even realise that he might not have met another actual human being in years. Everything begins when he breaks his routine for once and enters a bar where he meets Evelith. This pesky other person does not let him go after he has had his -rather terrible- beer, because according to her actual humans are much rarer than he’s aware of. And from then on ‘the genie is out of the bottle and won’t get back in’, to use her words: Adaman meets more people, and gradually he has no choice but to accept that the reality of The City is not what he always thought it was, and to face the darkness of a fading humanity on the brink of self-inflicted extinction.Is there any hope left for him, and for his species? I have selected 'sexual content' and 'traumatising content' to be on the safe side, because there is a stripclub-like venue in the background of the story, and an almost-extinct humanity that has institutionalised suicide which might be disturbing to some. Apart from that it's not really a heavy 'adult' story.('Ghostified City' is my first long story in English as opposed to my native language Dutch, and an earlier version was published on my fiction blog 'Oranderra' until I stopped updating. This is a slightly altered version of the first series.)

The Many Blades of Wuxia
Hundreds of years after the Heretic wars ended, life has returned to its blissful ignorant state that only peace could bring. Whilst the never-ending war between Man, Beast and Mutant rages on, most are not even aware of a war that happened between men. Its prophecies shattered, their remnants surviving only in obscure bard tales. One is about to grow. On the cracked face of the world, Essence storms and Beast Waves keep the citizenry locked atop the Emperor city of Qaelang. Knowledge of the past is as rare as the metals that flow into the hands of Sacred Artists and at the root of it all are whispers of a malignant force, ancient and terrible. Holding humanity back from achieving greatness, but hiding too are secrets best left untouched. Balance, discipline and order have held Qaelang secure since time immemorial, the powers within claiming to adhere to them. None are more fearful of change than the ones with the most to lose, but change is coming. Blade of Wuxia is a long character-focused epic fantasy with progression and growth. It's about a boy's quest to become powerful enough to save those he cares most for and give them a better life. It's set in a world of hidden pasts and uncovering them will set him on a path that shakes the Empire. As this is a rewrite that took on a wildly different spin, reviews are most welcome and help me do better. What can the reader expect? A Wuxia society set in a High fantasy world. People are only doing what they know and may have mistaken beliefs. A clever resourceful protagonist with human flaws A far-reaching hidden fantasy world, rich in history. Multiple points of view are used to follow the story to its natural conclusions, not every NPC has all the answers, but there is one MC in this book. Progression will take time and sometimes even unknowingly. MC is not trained in the ways and knowledge must be tempered against experimentation. Release Schedule. 2 chapters a week, family and work permitting. Only if I'm happy with the chapter will I release it. That being said I am open to revision should an articulated critical response show merit. This story is not completed yet but I do have a general idea of what the end looks like for both MC's (yes both) Ultimately feedback will be most influential on the progression of release as it's you guys I'm looking to entertain. Expected Changes None really, I'm writing as I go and have a path planned for 6 books Chapter release rate might change if we take off and feedback starts flowing, but for now, it is just about making sure Arcs flow smoothly onto the next. Cover, yes absolutely! If there is enough interest I will open a Patreon account and use the first proceeds to commission an EPIC cover and hopefully a few scary artworks of our brave Cultivators and the foes they face.
