"I am standing in the ashes of whom I used to be." cover by: chishiyas_wifeyss

Brooke Routledge has always been told to act upon risk. She regrets it all. The love, the vulnerability, the true form that she provided to him. It wasn't worth it, and the cruelest part was the act of throwing it back into her face. She doesn't think he ever loved her. How could you? It runs so much deeper than that. Neither of them knew what they were doing, how they were feeling, and how to fix it all-though, under everything, they wanted to fix it. Risk. It's what destroyed Brooke Routledge. But in a strange way, she wondered, could risk be what saves her? OBX ␥ Rafe Cameron & JJ Maybank © elegancies
