Layla Dalila's life had always been the same. Wake up sad, pretend to take her medicine that she was given because of her...issues, and wait for the meltdown that was eventually going to happen.
Things in her life changed when she met Nikolai and Dominic. Or rather, things in this lifetime changed. For the better or worse, she won't know until she chooses.
Well, unless she chooses wrong, which she had a habit of doing, her fate could be altered and her own again.

"The stories of the past always repeat themselves, Layla. They repeat and repeat until one day someone finally learns from the past! Tell me you've learned!" He begged desperately. His hands clutched on her shoulders as he looked into her eyes.
She stared back at him in panic. "I..." she trailed off. Looking past the man, she looked straight into the eyes of Nikolai. The chocolate eyes that were currently being leeched of life. Then her eyes were drawn to Dominic who's usually ocean eyes were black with power.

REMINISCENT
I frowned, thrown off "Do i...remember?" "Do you remember..." she starts but her voice falters. She glances down at the sand, biting her lip debating whether to even continue. She then takes a shaky breath and finally looks up. Eyes locking with mine " do you even remember how you got it?" Her question hits me like a slap. I open my mouth, then close it, my brows furrowing as I force my brain to rewind. How did I get it? Nothing. Not a single clear memory. She steps closer, her voice trembling, but the edge of anger sharpening her words. "Or when? Or where? Or for what reason? Or what it even means?!" I flinch at her tone, but I can't answer her. I try. God, I try.. I look down at the sand beneath my feet, forcing myself to dig through every memory, every hazy night out, every stupid decision I might've made-but nothing. Not a single moment of how I got it surfaced. I let out a frustrated breath and rake a hand through my hair, feeling the panic rise like bile in my throat. When I finally lift my head to speak, Ashley's already staring at me, and I can tell-she knows my answer before I say a word. "You don't remember," she says softly, nodding like she expected it all along. __________________________________________ Crazy thing happened...Three years ago, a tragic accident left Ashley scarred and shattered.
