Left Behind Again

Left Behind Again

The parking lot is empty except for you and the dark. You watched the car pull away — Walker in the driver's seat, Isabella laughing from the passenger side, your phone still in her hand. Parker was in the back. He didn't stop it. This is the second time. Same smile from Isabella. Same silence from the guys you thought had your back. You're miles from home with no ride, no phone, and a knot in your chest that's finally turning into something sharper than hurt. Something that looks a lot like done.

Characters

Walker

Tall, messy brown hair, warm brown eyes, broad build, always in a hoodie. Easygoing and quick to laugh, the kind of guy who'd give you his last dollar without thinking. He's been drifting lately, pulled by Isabella's attention without seeing the cost. Your roommate - genuinely devoted, even if he's too fogged up right now to show it.

Parker

Lean build, sharp green eyes, dark hair pushed back, usually in a jacket. Sarcastic and perceptive, the kind of person who notices everything and says nothing until he can't help it. He's been sitting on guilt for weeks. He's been watching the pattern with Isabella - tonight broke something loose in him.

Isabella

Pretty, put-together, light brown hair always styled, warm smile that never quite reaches her eyes. Charming in a room but calculating in a crisis - she knows exactly which smile to use and when. Every kind word toward you is a move on a board. She sees you as competition to quietly, patiently remove.

Opening

you is stuck once again having to walk home with no phone.

meanwhile in the car.

Isabella

I bet it’s going to take her forever to get back this time. she laughs like it’s a joke. walker we should totally go back to your place and watch a movie and have popcorn and see how long it takes her to get back.

Walker

laughs quietly. yeah sounds like a plan. eyes flicking to the review mirror to check if Parker is ok he is too quiet.

Annoy that my character is gender locked.

Dorothy LevellJul 21

I can make one that’s not gender locked. Those are my favorites to make anyways. 😍

Race locked is one thing, I have no problem putting my human characters into a clan that gives them special powers But gender locked is just a crime. Bro I'm confident if I pick a male character it's just gonna call me she and her anyways

Dorothy LevellJul 21

That’s why I try to make a majority of my stories not gender locked. I have some that are because that’s how I seen them in my head. But i totally agree with you. I want my stories to be inclusive. Not everyone likes that but I don’t mind it. It makes them more fun for everyone.

Dorothy LevellJul 21

I will make one right now that is specific just for you. It won’t do that. 😍

The Switch at Dinner

The restaurant hums with soft jazz and the clink of glassware. Candles flicker across your table for four. Then Mia says it - casual, almost playful, like she just thought of it. "What if we switched partners?" Matteo laughs and says yes before the words fully land. He still won't look at you. Across the table, Stephanie goes very still. Her wine glass stops halfway to her lips. You realize this wasn't a joke. Mia is smiling, waiting. Your best friend is already leaning toward her. And the girl who got blindsided just like you is the only one watching your face. Everyone is waiting for your answer.

The Wife Who Came Back

It's past midnight when the front door opens. She's standing in the doorway with a single suitcase and a bump you never saw grow - months of absence written across her body like a confession she hasn't actually made. Marlowe. Your wife. Back like she never left, chin up, eyes reading your face for the reaction she's already calculated. You stayed silent when she disappeared. You stayed silent when the rumors reached you. Now she's home, and that silence is being handed back to you as a contract you never signed. She wants to stay. She wants to keep the life you built - and the one she's building with someone else. And she's watching to see if you'll say a single word to stop her.

She Doesn't Even Stop

The key still works. It always has. You don't know why you came home again tonight — maybe you were hoping the door would finally be locked. A sign. A reason. It isn't. The living room light is on. You hear her laugh before you see anything, low and easy, the laugh she used to save for you. Then you see them. She looks up the second you walk in. Not startled. Not ashamed. Just — present. Like she's been waiting. She holds your gaze for a long moment, something soft and deliberate in her expression. Then she turns back to him. And you're still standing in the doorway of your own home, key in hand, trying to remember who you were before this started feeling normal.

Almost

The key turns. The door opens. Mia is on the couch. Yuki is right there beside her, one hand resting low on Mia's stomach, neither of them moving fast enough. The second Mia sees you, her face drains of color. Her mouth opens - nothing comes out. Yuki doesn't flinch. Doesn't pull away. Just looks at you with something unreadable behind her eyes. Nothing happened. That's what they'll say. But you can feel it in the air - the weight of weeks of something you weren't supposed to know about. The silence stretches. Someone has to speak first. It won't be you.

Cabin Trip Sabotage

3 cabins, 1 campground, 3 couples. Everyone has their own space on this couple's trip. You've been best friends with Dylan and Shawn for years, since around high school. You see them as brothers and life long friends. Dylan and Shawn have girlfriends of their own. Dylan has Jennifer and Shawn has April. One day the men overheard the girls comparing relationships, referencing how much better of a partner you are to Krissy and this is what causes the gap between friends. The pine trees blur past the windows as the cars pull into the cabin lot. Cool mountain air, the smell of woodsmoke, the crunch of gravel under your feet - everything about this trip should feel perfect. Krissy squeezes your hand as you unload the bags. She leans into your shoulder and smiles like she always does, easy and real. But across the lot, Dylan catches Shawn's eye over the roof of his car. Something passes between them - quick, deliberate. A look that doesn't belong on a vacation. You missed it. Krissy almost didn't. The week has just begun, and the people you trust most already have a plan. Will any of your relationships last until the end of the week?

The Trip He Paid For

You almost didn't come. Five months is a long time, and the ticket felt like a gift - your boss, Stellan, covering the fare, telling you Mara deserved a visit. The hotel hallway smells like old wood and expensive soap. Room 412. The concierge didn't even call ahead. The door is cracked open. Warm light spills into the corridor. And then you hear it - his voice, low and easy, speaking her name like he's said it a thousand times. Because he has.
