The siren sings.

The shots ring out.

Are you ready for the spotlight?

Wade

They say if you love something, you should let it go. But no one tells you what to do when that thing you loved is suddenly standing center-stage in your life once again, glowing in the spotlight that she was born to shine under. She didn’t come back for me. The haunted look in her eyes isn’t from wondering and tormenting herself for the last decade over the way things ended. I am alone in the prison she built. No - she’s running from something, and I’m as likely to get answers about what secrets haunt her as I am for why she left to begin with. I’ve had more than enough time to get over her, to forget her smile, the way she sways when she catches a beat, and the way her heart sings to mine. But it doesn’t matter how much time has passed, her song still lures me in, leading me to bad decisions and danger with every note.

Stella

I’ve imagined so many times what it would be like to see him again, the one that got away. More accurately, the one I left behind. It’s been years, but I still cling to that puppy love. Surviving on the memory of being happy and safe in his arms. But I am alone in my nostalgia, time not soothing the burn of how I left him all those years ago, chasing a dream that brought me nothing but debts and despair. Leaving him behind may not have been my idea, but it was the last good decision I made. Now, all the mistakes since are bleeding into this new life I’ve tried to build, the walls closing in with only one way out. I know it will break me to leave him again, but when the option of staying might put everything and everyone I love in danger, there is only one choice left to make.
