She didn't say a work, and I gave up trying, because you couldn't hear either one of us over the shattering noise of hearts breaking and the looming shadow of the last word, the one we refused to say.

Lena made a face. She almost never wore makeup she didn't have to. You know, it's not like we all sign a contract with Maybelline when we turn thirteen.

Even when I didn't know anything else about where I was or what I was supposed to be doing. You were my Wayward, even then. Everything always brought me back to you. Everything.

There was a choice to be made, and Lena hadn't made it. The songs never lied. At least, they hadn't yet.
