"No, stop! Just stop..." My voice comes out as a whisper. "Stop being so nice to me. Stop making me wish and dream for something that... that's never gonna-" I place a hand over my mouth, an attempt to muffle my sobs, and shut my eyes.

***

Celeste Brown believed in love; she loved love. She craved it more than anything. She had been in love once, and it was beautiful. He was beautiful. But when that love had come to an end, she couldn't comprehend what or why it went wrong. She reasoned that it was because she was undeserving of love--that no one would ever stay in love with her. After all, Jordan hadn't.

Celeste swore off love, never wanting to taste the bitterness of heartbreak again. Which is why when unwanted but familiar feelings started to bubble up towards the surface again, she tried everything in her power to stay away. But fate seemed to have other plans...


Prompt 45: "Keep your happily ever after, it ain't mine." (Main)
Prompt 8: You start singing along to a movie soundtrack late at night forgetting that your window is open. Someone from the outside starts singing with you.
