Silence Can Seem So Loud

She hated life.

Not just to be dramatic but she honestly hated life.

Having to go home to a father who didn't want her and constantly blamed her for the death of his wife, her mother. Dealing with an abusive boyfriend who she just couldn't get rid of in fear of what he would do. Lying to her best friend about all of the cuts, bruises, and marks that littered her skin.

Eleana hated life.

He loves her.

As in an all out, do anything for her, wanted to be with all the time to see her smile. Love.

He knew everything about her. How winter was her favorite season because that meant sitting by a fireplace to study or how she could snuggle up in his University of Michigan sweaters. How thunderstorms always had the ability to put her directly to sleep. He knew the smell of lilies and hazelnut cream candles made her stop in her tracks just to get a lung full of the sent.

Darren loves her.
