Feel Again

Of all the words in the universe, it might've been are the saddest ones. They speak of lost potential, a greatness that never was. But what is even worse is being oblivious to the love around, and the love you feel. Maybe the worst thing is waking up after years of friendship and realizing just why your gaze always seems to travel to the kindest eyes in any room and the person they belong to. Always a thousand things to say and a thousand reasons not to.

Zendaya and Val are growing apart from each other as they go on with their lives. Their friendship is haunted by unsaid things and the people they have let close to them. Will they be able to find their way to where they first started or are they destined to be a footnote in each other's stories?

Notes:

I drew an incredible amount of inspiration from music, like I always do. I made a fanmix for anyone who is interested in stepping into my brain and listening to the music that inspired this fic. I also drew inspiration from the movie Runaway Bride, starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere.

There are so many people to thank. First of all I'd like to thank my artist, @poeticespionage [tumblr], who helped me more than she probably knows. Her positive attitude and cheerleading made this whole thing possible. Everyone should watch her amazing video that parallels the story to absolute perfection. @sabxxrina [tumblr], was the best Beta anyone could've asked for and whenever I disliked something I had written she was able to change it into perfection.
