Phillit Stories

A amateur / newbie story which I made out of the blue because I want somehow like to express my story and tweak it a bit on how things was suppose to be.

She taught him how to feel. He taught her why she shouldn't have. Elara Mercado has mastered the art of being okay. She smiles when she needs to. She helps when she's asked. She never says no. No one knows that behind her quiet eyes is a girl who has been pretending since she was fifteen. Theo Reyes doesn't pretend. He doesn't smile. He doesn't talk. He sits in the back corner of the library and folds his poetry into paper cranes that no one will ever see. He learned a long time ago that people leave. So, he leaves first. When a group project forces them together, Elara sees something in Theo's gray-blue eyes that she recognizes. Something tired. Something broken. Something that makes her want to stay. She doesn't know that staying is the most dangerous thing she can do. Because Theo doesn't know how to let people in. And Elara doesn't know how to let herself be seen. Their love is soft. Their love is quiet. Their love is not enough. This is not a love story. This is a story about what happens when the person you love can't love you back. When the walls don't come down. When the light goes out and never comes back on. The Art of Letting Go is a slow-burn hurt/comfort story with no happy ending. Read at your own risk. **READ AT YOUR OWN RISK***
