✧.* letters addressed to the fire // drake parker

drake usually hops from girl to girl, but what happens when he finds someone he sees a real future with? will he trust himself to love, or will he leave her behind?

"you know, I thought you loved me," nova said, her voice tinged with hurt, as she watched drake pace around the room. she fought to keep his attention, to bridge the growing chasm between them, but it seemed like an impossible task. no matter what she did, drake's walls remained impenetrable.

drake stopped abruptly, his gaze meeting hers with a mixture of frustration and regret. "you know I love you. don't be that way," he replied, his words carrying a weight of truth but lacking the conviction she longed to hear.

"then act like it," nova shot back, her voice trembling with emotion. she was tired of empty assurances and hollow promises. she needed drake to show her, to prove to her that their love was real, not just words spoken in moments of desperation.

silence hung heavy in the air, each word spoken and unspoken echoing between them like a painful reminder of their fractured relationship. nova held her breath, waiting for drake's response, praying that this time, he would break down his walls and let her in.
