"I feel like you will ruin me one day, Angelica." His voice was hoarse.



His forehead came to rest against mine.



"But why do I want to be ruined so badly?" He breathed.

~~

He was lightning and thunder, frightening, but so magnificent.

I was a hurricane, lost and in search of purpose.

When we met it was like a collision of two catastrophes.

But who knew chaos could be so beautiful, so addicting.

And for a moment, he made me forget the destruction that is inevitable when two storms collide.

When Storms Collide

/"Not really./" I grit out. /"Now get out of my way./"

He studied me for a moment but retracted his hand and stepped away.

I turned my back to him and started walking away.

I'd almost reached the exit when he grabbed me from behind. I shrieked and suddenly his hand clamped over my mouth harshly. I could feel myself being dragged into a dark hallway. Panic consumed me as I started to struggle wildly.

The back of my head slammed against his chin making him grunt in pain but he didn't loosen his hold.

He pushed me against the wall my cheek collided with the stone surface making my eyes tear up from the pain. His body pressed against my back restraining me.

/"Stop pretending like you don't want me. Why would you come here again if you didn't?/" He chuckled, I could feel his breath against my neck. /"Stop fighting it, just give in./"
