IN THE SHADOWS

Standing here, watching it all unfold in slow motion, Vivian never could’ve thought that this is how it would all end. Not after the last few months together. Not after what happened last night. Vivian had finally dropped all her walls, opened her heart to Everett, and trusted him with everything she had to give. She wasn’t sure if they would survive what they had to do, but she thought that whatever did happen they would do it together - forever. 


Watching him walking away from her, Vivian already knew she’d miss every part of Everett. Despite her anger towards him at this moment, she knew it would pass. The anger would fade and all she’d have would be the memories to wrap around her in the dark night. The memories would haunt her, that much she already knew, but it was worse because she was going with him. Everett had done exactly what he said he’d never do - he chose her.
