Josephine Price...fragile, sorrowful, forlorn, melancholy...she's been like this for most of her life, since her dad passed away 12 years ago. She's been scarred by the destruction of life. It seemed almost as if Chronos and nicked her with his sickle and taken away all the time she could've had with her father.
Her heart was breaking, the pieces descending, and being plastered back on with Gorilla glue. Her heart only recently sewn whole by a boy named Gale. He sometimes made her feel intoxicated with his presence, but among those times, he ignored her. Not even a simple text or hello for days. She always thought this was love.
Minor happiness, distrust, sadness, heartbreak, and if she was lucky, a respectful relationship with sweet, tender kisses and late night talks.
She grew up not knowing the difference between love, and attention.
All she needed is someone to show her what love really looks & feels like.
Someone like...Everett Thorn.

Or so had she thought until she collided with the cheeky green-eyed boy, Kayden Lawson, who had the most charming tricks up his sleeve - tricks just smooth enough to make Elaine realise, that maybe, indeed, she did wear her heart out on her sleeve. Maybe, for a few late night talks, stolen glances and shy flirty exchanges - Elaine was completely willing to change everything about herself - to fit in. To make Kayden keep looking at her. But unfortunately, every person does not know how to keep care of another's heart, and often end up breaking them. And spoiler alert, Kayden turned out to be one of them. Too bad that even after her heart was abandoned, Elaine's heart kept singing Kayden's name like a long-forgotten song. Too bad that, undoubtedly, heartbreak weather had come. • ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ • unedited. ©2022 to Aishi Mitra @aishixwrites.Complete
