What We Could Have Been

Lost Cause Series #1

Azalea Celestine Acosta
Crius Rowan Vancouver

despite the stars roaring in sweet desperation for me to come back, i devoted myself to my silent pleas of rectitude. for in every illusion of my mind, there lies the blood and life that captures my lips open, to blurt and whisper the words that shape the magic in your name.

For Azalea, the pleasure of living the life is something that she's no longer capable of reaching. The downfall of their once grand prosperity had left her with only choice to be able to get through it: to grovel so hard just to survive.

The picture was a constant daydream of the past though for her, it somehow opened her to a new much more tolerable side of the the world. However, an uninvited anomaly had come to turn the picture around. And she was everything but prepared for any of it.

With things going on a perfect disarray, will she still be able to withstand the midnight storm that had managed to slip off her past? And if things had been finally revealed, can she muster the courage to look back and remember what she had forgotten? Even if it means diving back to the deep and ruling waves that had caused her downfall?

In times where hearts are tangled together with nothing but a hidden mess of lies and betrayal, can it ever find a way to go back to what things have been before? Or between her and the guy who owned the darkest midnights of all, do they even have a beginning to go back to in the first place?
