Band-Aid

"Come now, girl. Bandage your broken heart and quiet your cries of pain."

She's fallen enough times to know that the world is as cold as concrete and that it doesn't mind shattering you to pieces. All her life Celeste has learned to brush off the dust, smile through the pain, and walk away with a strong chin up. She only bent to pick up the pieces. It's helped her through her dad's death, her mom's absence, and her best friend's abandonment.

Smile, chin up, back straight.

Soon enough, she starts to believe her own facade.
Then she meets Alec.

And he teaches her that covering her pain isn't what's going to make it go away.
But will he be the one that destroys her completely?

We're going to need a lot more band-aids.
