Star-Crossed Lovers
ch-1 {Rugged-Book}
and it's street that never quite sleeps, it only changes rhythm
The buildings rise like tall stone bookshelves, each window glowing with a different story
Fire escapes cling to the walls like iron ladders left behind by giant
Yellow taxis glide and honk in impatient bursts, their headlights flickering across puddles on the asphalt
On the sidewalks, life rushes past in dozens of tiny worlds
A man in a suit speed-walks with a coffee he barely has time to drink.
Two friends laugh loudly outside a pizza place, the warm smell of baked dough and melted cheese floating out into the cold air.
Somewhere a street musician taps a rhythm on a bucket while coins clink into a metal cup
A lady wearing a blue top with black jeans a coat above and tab in one hand
Not in a rush nor too slow
A normal lady not more than 23 a book blogger or so she said
Viella Aster (Fl)
*chuckle*
Julien Mathew

Viella Aster (Fl)

Viella Aster (Fl)

Viella Aster (Fl)

Mostly covered with novels and books
and there stood "The Case He Lost" on the front table
The book cover rugged showing it had been read many times
Viella Aster (Fl)
*pick it up*
She won't remember herself how many times she had already read it
Viella Aster (Fl)
When will the 2 season come *exhale*
She read it again laying on her bed until her stomach made her realize one sandwich wouldn't ease her hunger
and she had to somehow drag herself off the bed to eat smtg
Viella Aster (Fl)
If only i could directly put food in my stomach

ch-2 {Eternity}
She was the kind of girl you might pass on a New York sidewalk and only notice a moment later
She looked… ordinary in the comfortable way cities are full of
Warm brown eyes that spent too much time reading screens and pages, faint dark circles from late night reading marathons, and a small habit of pushing her hair behind her ear whenever she was thinking about what to write next
Being a book blogger was her quiet kind of job
She spent her mornings reading in cafés, afternoons typing reviews, and nights arguing with herself over which line from a novel deserved to be quoted in her post
She lived in a not so flashy but a comfortable apartment that felt more like a book cave than a home
Stacks of novels leaned against the walls, coffee mugs appeared in suspicious numbers, and her laptop was almost always open on the table
Her blog wasn't famous in a flashy way, but people who loved books knew it
They trusted her words
If she said a story was worth reading, it probably was
And most days, somewhere between subway rides, coffee refills, and another half finished chapter, she would pause and think that living in New York as a girl who got paid to read books wasn't the worst life at all
Viella Aster (Fl)
What could probably happen next
Viella Aster (Fl)
*flip onto bed while reading that rugged novel*
Viella Aster (Fl)
Where Are You Author!?????
Or so anyone reading at first will think of it as
The plot revolved around "Cyrus Kendrix" a lawyer and "Elsie Mabel"
Cyrus who fought for justice
Though love was on neither side
They fell "OPPOSITE ATTRACTS?"
Viella Aster (Fl)
aish....
The one from which the story ends
Viella Aster (Fl)
Forever was not an eternity..
she turned the page just to read "To be Continued"
Viella Aster (Fl)
*ruffles her hair*
she closed that book and kept it on her side drawer laying on bed
Lionell Aron

3rd chp is lost in its way
ch-3 {lost light}
Viella and Julien both were walking through the glass floor
Talking over something which did feel serious looking at their facial expressions
Viella Aster (Fl)
So how did it go
Julien Mathew
lio said it went well, and now he is up
Julien Mathew
Hm he got through a mental breakdown yesterday
Julien Mathew
As lio said so
Julien Mathew
Ofc that pink bitch
viella rolled her eyes as she expected that was the case
stopping in front of the door they both looked at each other
The corridor outside the room smells faintly of antiseptic and something colder, like metal washed too many times
Viella Aster (Fl)
You go first
Julien Mathew
Nahhhh, you go
Viella Aster (Fl)
*breath in*
Hmm
The door opens, the room inside too quiet in that heavy hospital way, where even the smallest sound feels too loud
Lights were dimmed while sun rays made their way from the open window, leaving soft shadows along the pale walls
Machines sit beside the bed, blinking in slow, patient rhythms
The steady beep… beep… beep of a monitor filled the silence like a metronome keeping time for the room
Viella took a step inside and saw a man sitting on a chair beside the bed where a fragile body laid beneath white sheet
Lionell Aron
*look at viella*
Her gaze looked over the sleeping figure
a thick bandage covered his both eye and skin pale and tired
Lionell Aron
Hi-*about to stand from his chair*
Ryan Aron
ell-
*mumbled while turning his head towards the door*
Viella Aster (Fl)
*took another step in*
No-
She walked inside stopping just beside the bed
Viella Aster (Fl)
it's viella aster
Ryan Aron
Oh....ic
*turn his head towards the window*
Viella Aster (Fl)
Hm how do you feel now?
Lionell looked at Julien with a sympathetic look in his gaze while Julien just shooked her head in response
Viella Aster (Fl)
Gtk you are alive
Ryan Aron
Not everyone is as lucky as you i believe
Viella Aster (Fl)
I lost something too
Ryan Aron
So did i viella aster *turned to her and smile*
Even though he couldn't see he turned as if it was a habit which was of course
Ryan Aron
lio will you help me sit straight
Lionell Aron
no just lay for now-
Viella Aster (Fl)
*help him sit up*
Lionell Aron
Ella let him lay down
Viella Aster (Fl)
*put pillow behind ryan*
Let him get light for now
Ryan Aron

Those three just looked at him silently
'Uveal Melanoma' was such a bitch
