•••••••••• Insp. 'Daylight' Maroon 5 •••••••••••
Charlie knew he would have to give her up in the end. He knew when the sun comes up, he'll have to go. But tonight, he needs to hold her so close and hope for the best, hope for the impossible. He needs her, but she is leaving and he knew she was going to leave in the end but stupidly, inevitably, he had to fall in love. They had been meeting each other at night for a while, and she didn't try to seduce him, but her little quirks and flirts had drawn him in even closer as time went by. He won't be able to make her stay, for their friends, for him, even for herself. They both knew all too well that she needed to leave, and he needed her, and she was going to leave.
God, she was going to leave. No matter what. And in the end...
She left.

RUN AWAY || H.S
𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐕𝐘 𝐒𝐄𝐗𝐔𝐀𝐋 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓! 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐂𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍. 𝗖𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱. For five years, I was caged-locked in a life I couldn't escape, a nightmare I couldn't wake up from. At an age when I should have been dancing under the stars, laughing with friends, living recklessly-I was caged. A life wasted on pain, drowned in tears. A hollow existence, a nightmare I couldn't wake up from. But I ran. And now I'm here. Safe. Loved. No longer just surviving-but living. Wrapped in the warmth of friendship, held in his arms. And for the first time in years, I feel whole. But peace never lasts, does it? Because soon, I will have to choose. Between the man I love and the darkness I escaped. Between a future filled with love and a past that refuses to let me go. What will I do when the nightmare comes knocking again? What will I choose? *** 𝗨𝗻𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱. I have everything-money, success, power. Women want me, men envy me. I move through life with ease, collecting victories like trophies. And yet, something is missing. Someone is missing. Then she walks in. She doesn't try to impress me. She doesn't need to. Just by existing, she undoes me. She is fire and shadows, warmth and distance. She steals my breath and doesn't even realize it. But she is guarded, locked behind walls so high I wonder if anyone has ever climbed them. No matter how much I try, how patient I am, she keeps her past buried. Until one night. One unexpected night changes everything. Because someone from her past walks back into her life. And in an instant, our present starts to unravel, our future hanging by a thread. And suddenly, I understand. This isn't just about her choosing me. It's about whether I will stay when the truth finally comes out. Will I? ℝ𝔼ℙ𝕌𝔹𝕃𝕀𝕊ℍ𝔼𝔻!Complete

This Love: Spencer Reid
spencer, i'll remember how i'd loved you. even after i saw the hate behind your sweet eyes and messy statistics. even after i heard casually cruel words leave the same sugary lips that you used to plant soft kisses on my cheeks. even after i saw you kill right in front of me. the loss of your presence would still hurt the same. it probably wouldn't even matter what you did or didn't do because at night, i would still be crying into my pillow about everything that happened to you regardless. that's another thing that hurts so bad about this all. your loss. it's obvious, i know that. but i feel so alone. and you're actually gone this time.Complete
Inevitable Heartbreak
Invalidation is something I know too well, Love only gives you heartbreak. She is just a girl who keeps to herself, afraid that if she falls she'll never get back up. But Love is something she needs to feel alive. Love is in the songs she listens to, the books she reads, and the art she draws. Her heart is so big she can can't see past the goodness she sees in everyone, but what she doesn't know is that everyone has a darkness to them. Him on the other hand, he thinks the thought of love is utterly ridiculous. There is no need for it, it's such a waste of time. Why would he waste his precious time running after a girl? He makes a bet this little miss Sunshine can become diminished he'll have anything done to have her sun set. At least that's what he thought until he got to know her. Until he saw that there's darkness underneath her sunny exterior. Will she find out that everything was a lie? Just a game to him. Will he leave her broken? Maybe she can melt his icy heart, or maybe he'll end her reign. Maybe it'll be both.
