I immediately speed up as soon as the coast is clear. From the corner of my eye, I can see her struggling to breathe. I whisper sweet nothings to calm her. After driving a bit further, I pull over at the side of the road.

I turn towards her and see that she has her head down, covering her face. Her other hand is fisting her dress tightly. Gently, I remove her hand from her face and squeeze it, noticing the red marks from her nails.

" Storm, please tell me you're okay?" I ask softly.

She looks up and just stares at me for a moment. Then, suddenly, she nods while looking ahead. Breathing harshly "Storm?" I say again, this time with a slight relief,

"What the heck just happened?" I asks, breaking the silence "my ex is a fucking peace of shit .that's what happened but  Storm? Seriously Lucas? " she asks, still smiling  a bit. Her smile is so beautiful

"What? That nickname suits you perfectly," I say defensively.

"Sure," she replies, rolling her eyes. "No, really. Your whole personality screams Storm. You're mysterious as hell, fiercely determined, and you don't let anyone mess with you. I mean, ten minutes ago, you were ready to throw fists at Mr. Douchebag. So Storm fits you just right." She giggles at his nickname.

"Well then, okay, Lyn," she says, and now it's my turn to roll my eyes. "Lyn?" I ask playfully. She responds with a shrug and a smile, "Well, 'Lyn' is often associated with tranquility. It's related to water bodies and water itself is soft enough to give life and powerful enough to take it away. That perfectly describes you. I've seen you protecting Celeste and well , thanks for today ." she says trailing .

Shit , I've never liked a nickname so much. I mean, I've never had one before. Giving nicknames is my love language, but people usually call me by my name. "You really don't miss a thing, do you?" I say, teasing her. I pass her a bottle of water and take one for myself.

"Come on, now Storm, tell me-do you have plans for the rest of the night?"

"Um, no, not really," she replies. "Well then, do you want to go to the beach? A little birdie told me you're a beach person," I ask since we're close to the beach .

"Um, okay," she says after thinking . I start driving again. The sun has set, and the weather is dark with wind blowing and clouds covering the sky. I turn on the music, and 'All of the Stars' by Hayd starts playing.

And I hope you know
If all of the stars align in the sky
Then, I would be yours and you would be mine
But not in this life, it's not the right time
It's not you and I

Listening to the lyrics we both look at each other at the same time. This song. It does something to me.

If all of the pieces fell into place
We'd make it all work through time and through space
We know it's too late, know we can't wait
It's better this way.
