Silent Chaos

<p><strong>Braxton</strong></p><p></p><p>Our senior year I promised my girl forever. </p><p>Forever as it turned out wasn't enough. She told me so in her actions. When she took a match to my life burning it to ash. </p><p>I headed to LA with my band-Raging Chaos-like we always planned while Kaylee went to college taking my damaged heart with her. </p><p>This was where our story was supposed to end. </p><p>Only six years later our lives collide again.</p><p>Kaylee is the only thing I ever loved more than music and I wish I could hate her for it but the line between love and hate is thin and often straddled.</p><p>And the thing about collisions? They result in deadly debris. </p><p></p><p><strong>Kaylee</strong></p><p></p><p>When you love someone you let them go. But what I did was so much worse. </p><p>Because instead of pushing him away I shoved Braxton straight over the edge.</p><p>I've spent the past several years avoiding him trying to make things right.</p><p>When my reputation has been dragged through the mud and I'm given the opportunity to clean it up I have no choice but to cross paths with him again.</p><p>Being around Braxton is a harsh reminder of the way I lit his life up in flames but I'm not sure he knows I've been burned too. </p><p>If suffering in silence is the cost I'll pay the price to make things right. </p><p>I just hope our history won't play on repeat and he'll see me as more than the stupid girl with the lit match.</p>
