Upside Down

Upside Down.

That's what their life had been since they crossed paths. But in a good way.

After all this time, after all the pain, tears, laughs, excitement, and adventures they had shared, she didn't have anything to ask for more.

Knowing what would happen;
The pain, the pleasure, the love, the heartbreak, and the hope!

The hope.

It was always the hope that got her in trouble. Even after everything she had been through, she held onto the tiniest shred of hope that kept her going. It gave her the strength and belief that she would make it through.Or she would find someone who would compel her to make it through the pain.

And guess what? She did find that someone who frustrated her this second and excited her the next.

Who showed her the most delicious danger but kept her safe throughout.

He had made her realize that even though the world is full of monsters with friendly faces, it's also filled with angels with scars.

But would she go all over it again? Through those years of torture and pain?

For him?

She would because she knew that, along the way, he would be her northern star and guide her through all those broken roads.

So yeah, she would.

But we are getting ahead of ourselves.
