Promise- A commitment by someone to do or not do something. A vow that is meant to be preserved.
Yet, why is it so sweet as it is so painful, like a rose bush covered in thorns. Why are the sounds that were so good to hear are as hard to grasp and hold on. Why is it that underneath this word that is meant for something, filled with malicious things. Why is it a double-edged sword? Why? Why? Why? For why if one holds on for so long, will only be left scarred, bruised and hopeless? But what if those bitter-sweet words turned out to be worth the pain for, worth the hardships under the bludgeoning of time? Or what if it is the same old lies embedded on such hopeful words? Hidden beneath the sweet sight and smell of roses are thorns that bring pain and sorrow. Are promises just the painful truth embedded behind the sweetest lies?

2| PROMISE ☆ BUCKY BARNES
𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞 | ❝WHEN HAVE I EVER, BROKEN A PROMISE?❞ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ Someone once told Carmen a promise. A promise that her younger brother would be safe if she left. A promise that her brother would no longer be a missing child who kidnapped. A promise that he wouldn't be murdered right in front of her like their mother was in front of him. Just for that promise to be broken, by the man who broke her. It wasn't until that moment that Carmen knew how much a broken promise could really hurt someone. So though Carmen forgot her whole self for thirty-five years. She forgot about 'her boys,' she forgot about her brother, she forget about her father, she forgot about her mother, but there's only one thing Carmen never forgot. The day a promise was broken, Carmen vowed to herself that she would keep her streak of never breaking a promise. And with that she promised herself, for her own sanity, to never keep her feelings bottled up. Because someone once told Carmen that it's not okay to bottle up your emotions. And she never did bottle her emotions up. She only had Theo to talk to, especially when being on the run from Hydra you couldn't exactly make other friends. But it's when Carmen and Theo see the news that a man Carmen once knew very well came back from being frozen and to fight someone named 'Loki from Asgard' did her interest peak. But in the end they never went back to see him, at the time it was too dangerous. And even now it still is, but they know they have to go back to Steve once finding out someone from Hydra is back; the winter soldier. Meaning for the second time, Carmen's life is about to change. ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ (sequel to 'lose something') (extended summary inside) (ca:tws - ca:cw) (started 8/3/18) (ended 5/30/20)Complete
