"Every now and then the stars align,
Boy and girl meet by the great design..."
- Lucky Ones, Lana Del Rey


You are the peace I seek in my sadness;
You are the stars in all my senses.


BROOKLYN is all about parties and getting wasted, she considers this the only way to get the grief out of her system. But she's secretly in love with the sky and everything living on the canvas of nature, she used to write endless little poems about it. But now, hiding her heart away is the only thing she thinks she does best.

DERL the loner, the freak, the weirdo, the shy kid with dark hair and big blue eyes-only has eyes for the sky and stars. People always say he's a mystery but that's not quite true. Excellent music taste is one undeniable charm about this "mysterious" boy, along with his dope talent of painting the immortals of life on mortal canvases. 

When sparks between the unlikely pair drag them out of their comfort zones, it's left to them to decide which weighs more in the spectacular relationship: finding each other within themselves or finding themselves within each other?

He ate your pussy out, didn't he?" He placed his chin on my shoulder as my body chilled. "Kylen-" "Answer me, I can tell, the hickeys all over your thighs baby," he breathed against my ear, his lips brushing against my jaw. "He did," I sighed defeatedly as he hummed in realization. "Did you, enjoy it?" Kylen murmured deeply, his hand touching part of my ass. "I don't know-" "There's no need to lie Aloe, I won't get upset if you tell me." His tone was manipulative as it always was when he needed an honest confession. "Fine, I did." He hummed again before kissing my neck. Tell me why my skin was burning at the contact.

"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances. But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you. I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey.
