❝ Music speaks your soul when words fail to do so.❞
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬⠀
⠀⠀⠀ In which they're symphonies too sickly sweet when sung together. But when circumstances do arise, Ash and Serena realize that they can't really exist in the same melody...
following is a series of unsent/sent texts in Ash and Serena's inboxes. the epilogue would be posted very soon, i just wrote this chapter cause i think it'll portray their pain better than any dramatic dialgoues or descriptions. enjoy!
(ps: spelling mistakes and lowercase letters are intentional. the time in itallics is wrt their separation day.)

ASH / that night, 2:03 A.M.
I know that you're probably asleep, but I'm sorry. I don't think any apology can ever mend what's already broken, but I'm still sorry. A million times over.
I can't fall asleep. But I've promised myself to not take those pills again, so I won't. Never.

Morning, Serena. I don't know what's the point of writing this text when I'm never gonna click that send button. Remember that I still love you.

No one talked to me today, they're all on your side. I don't mind it. I had it coming. I'm a horrible person. I miss you.
