Selena never let anyone too near. Never let them close enough to possibly hurt her. Her father died when she was young, and after her mother died many years later when she turned thirteen, that was when she broke. She broke and put up walls and shut out her heart from the world. The violin is a beautiful melody spelling a connection to her parents that can never make her feel closer with anything else.
Rhys struggles with his harmful father-in-law, and his mother has succumbed to him herself. He struggles to keep himself and his twin sister safe. The cello is something he confides in, something he uses as an escape, a sonata's notes blending into a distracting rhythm and hum in his ears to let him breathe.
So when Selena climbs her way to concertmaster during the first week of freshman year and Rhys is placed as the first chair cellist, the two get to know each other well, when said as an understatement.
They both heal their wounds and learn together. They learn how to love. And the bond they share becomes more beautiful than what any sound any orchestra could ever create.

I won't apologise for it." "Now you expect me to give you another chance?" His voice was angry, but he knew in his heart that had already forgiven her. How could he pretend that he wasn't in purgatory the entire time that she was gone? Or that seeing her again, was the first time the world seemed right again? How could he pretend that he didn't love her when all he wanted was to take her in his arms and kiss her senseless? "Just give me a chance to explain, please Killian." Rachel pleaded; it was strange he had never seen her bend so easily to anyone. She was a wildfire that couldn't be tamed, so then why did she look like her flames had been quietened? "Give me one good reason that I should." "Our daughter." *** Rachel is trouble. After her father's death, trouble and misfortune seems to follow her like a dark cloud.

Symphonic Note
'The only control I have in my life is music. It comforts me and keeps me going. My favorite instrument is the violin. I was drawn to how a tiny instrument could create such a high pitch sound. With each note played my fingers dance and run along the strings. The bow is the compositor as it instructs the melody and harmony.

The Swan
***COMPLETE*** Series coming down Nov 1st He asked me to tell him why I loved the cello and I told him but I wasn't expecting his response. "The way you describe it is so beautiful. Reminds me of what it feels like when you're really making love to someone." "Uh no. It's nothing like that," I said. "Oh I think it is. Perhaps you've never really had someone make love to you. It's euphoria and relaxation all at once if it's being done right. All those touches," he brushed his fingers against my neck and I shivered. "All the arousal," he stepped closer and dropped his head next to mine, his hot breath hitting my skin. "All the kisses in all the right places," he murmured, his lips brushing against my ear.

The Sweet Side of The Bad Boy.
Selena didn't know love, she knew nothing of it. She was almost like a balloon being held against a very sharp, dangerous object. You can see where she's caving in, yet she doesn't explode until you've driven it straight through. She relates completely, because of the pressure, the relationship.. because of everything. Unfortunately, she couldn't do anything about it, or he would've done something to her. Now, Selena knows love. But, from someone she never expected. Zero Cooper. He hated the attention that you couldn't help paying him. He looked like your typical bad boy. Lethal. Misunderstood. Sinfully good looking. But, he was unlike anyone you've ever encountered. Our Selena was absolutely terrified of him, just as anyone with good sense was. So, imagine her surprise when no matter what they do to avoid it, their paths keep crossing, their opposites kept attracting. There was only one explanation for it, really.Complete

This is just a fanfic I respect and love the relationship with her partner. I'm not trying to sexualise anyone in this story I have nothing but respect,love and admiration for cate. And in this story she lives in California) (Have in mind that I'm a writer who just starts writing when she feels like it. even I don't know how the story ends or how the story even turns out until I actually write the last sentence) English isn't my first language and I started writing in 2022 so my speech changed a bit throughout the book <33Complete
