Skylar was raised to believe she was nothing. Hatred and solitary was all she ever has. It's not what she wants, but it's all she's familiar to.
Darkness and pain is what defines her, for these are the things she turns to. It's her comfort zone.
She knows nothing can save her, because no matter how far she runs, she can't hide.
There is nothing she could do. Nothing. She was empty.
Lucas, on the other hand, was done. He was drained with hope. Lost in darkness. Drowned in hatred. He was fading. Forgotten. Lost. He was empty.
His eyes and emotionless actions trigger a great war within Skylar. But through it all, she realizes how much she's really worth.
She may not be saved, but was she really worthless?

War of Praisers
Nothing left my mouth as I stared at him in shock. He truly believed that I was part of this. The man, who I had lived with and served for months. The man who I had protected with my life and soul.

Always is not. Every day is.
He meant the world to her until he set eyes on her and couldn't recognize the pain and afflictions behind it. He meant a different person to her until he took her just like one of the many girls running after him. He meant her as that person who wanted to save her instead of allowing her to slide a silent clasp knife against the cold veins. He meant her something more than a singer until he proved that wrong. But even after that she couldn't deny the fact of calling him her savior. Nothing could change that. A savior remains a savior. This story revolves around the two characters broken inside yet living for the sake of others. Layken, She is an ordinary girl but still disparate from others because she is constructed from a past which no one else possess. Too petrified to live it and too confused to end it. But she decides to finally end it until the words echo in her mind. The same words that breaks the ice of that frozen lake revealing those lively hidden traits that she has but is unaware about them.

He might not want to know about it but no way in the world he can ignore it now. No way in the world he can ignore her now. This is the story of the two broken hearts fusing together, the story of two characters giving reasons to each other to live and not survive or endure. "We will make it for always or if not, then for every day."Complete
