sorrow & misery.

“People at war with themselves will always cause collateral damage in the lives of those around them.” — John Mark Green

Cordelia stared at the vodka bottle on the table. It was right in front of her. It’d be so easy to reach for it, so easy to down half the bottle like it was water. It’d take the edge off -- it’d numb the pain she was feeling. It would make her inner wounds scab over, even if it was only for a few hours. She just wanted the pain to stop -- the constant agony that she was always in. To the people around her, she may have appeared calm and collected. But behind closed doors, she was falling apart. 

Living without her husband was almost impossible. There was nobody to kiss her goodnight, nobody to hold her when she’d had a bad day at work. Nobody to help with Braelynn and Emersyn when they were getting out of hand. She was completely alone, save for Vinnie. He couldn’t provide what Aiden did, though. Her brother couldn’t comfort her like her husband could. All she wanted was for Aiden to walk through their front door, with the bright smile that he had reserved for only her and their children.  Cordelia wanted to feel his arms wrapped around her as she breathed in the scent of his cologne. She still had one of his hoodies, and she was wearing it as she sat at the table, letting the scent try and comfort her. But in reality, all it was doing was making her hurt more. She longed for him, and he was never coming back. It was something that she’d never be able to face.

Ayanna used to be one of her best friends. She dated her twin, which made her a sister. The woman was an aunt to her kids, and they loved her. But now? Now all of that was dead in the water. No longer would she be involved in family parties, or get-togethers. There was an issue, though. One big thing that got in the way of her staying away from her family. Vinnie. He loved her, and she loved him. They were starcrossed -- it was absolutely sickening. How could her brother feel something for the person who got his brother-in-law killed? It may not have been on purpose, but it still happened. Cordelia didn’t want Ayanna to die. She didn’t want anyone to lose their life. But if she had to choose between her and Aiden, she’d choose her. It was selfish. Completely unfair. That was what love did to people, though. It made them the worst version of themselves when it came down to hard decisions.

Cordelia reached for the vodka, unscrewing the cap. Vinnie had gone now. She didn’t know where. Maybe he was upstairs, cuddling the girls to make himself feel better. Or maybe he’d gone to see Ayanna behind her back. He could even be at a bar somewhere. She didn’t care right now. He said he was on her side, and that was all that mattered. That was all it took for her to forgive him. He had a hold on her as much as she had a hold on him. Their relationship was toxic, but everything in Cordelia’s life was right now. The only love that was pure and true was the love that came from her daughters. But even Braelynn was mad at her. Angry that her mother spent so much time away from home, away from them. She had to, though. Working full time to find their father’s killer was for them. 

She drank down some of the alcohol, then slammed the bottle down on the table. What had she done that was so bad that she deserved this? Cordelia could feel hot tears running down her cheeks, dripping onto her husband’s hoodie. She made no attempt to wipe them away, though. It was safe to cry here, away from the prying eyes of the people she worked with. Why did people have to break her trust? Was losing the man she loved, a brother-in-law, and a father figure not enough? Was that not enough hurt to last a lifetime? Everything was so fucking fucked up. Cordelia picked up the bottle again. Glug, glug, glug. She got up from her chair and made her way upstairs, bottle in hand. 

Opening the girls' bedroom door, she checked in on them. Vinnie wasn’t there. Whatever. Braelynn and Emersyn looked so angelic while they slept. There was no trace of sadness or anguish on their faces, just pure peace. She walked further into the room, pressing a kiss to both of their foreheads. They were so beautiful -- the one thing that she had left of Aiden. She’d protect them with her life. She had and would kill for them. “Mommy loves you both, so much. And daddy, too.” It was whispered, she didn’t want to wake them up. But maybe they’d hear her somehow. Her beautiful girls, her whole life. Ayanna would never come near them again. She’d never put their lives in jeopardy. 

Cordelia trudged to her bedroom, closing the door behind her. She stared at the kingsized bed. Stared at the canvas of her and Aiden’s wedding photo hanging above it. They were so, so happy. He looked so handsome. A sob wracked her body, and she clutched the bottle tighter. So much for numbing for the pain. This was the loneliest she had ever felt. Nobody was on her side, not even Vinnie, even if he said he was. She knew that he loved Ayanna. He’d never stop. It was like her love for Aiden, everlasting. Ever burning. Constant. She climbed into bed, placing the bottle on the bedside table. Cordelia pulled the comforter over her, even covering her head with it. 

A few minutes passed. Minutes filled with sobs. She grabbed Aiden’s pillow, burying her face in it. If she closed her eyes, she could almost imagine him there, lying next to her with a dopey smile on his face. That was how she’d always remember him. Her goofy, loving, fun husband. A man filled with nothing but adoration for his wife and children. Life was cruel -- it was unkind and vicious. If it wasn’t for the kids, Cordelia would’ve died with him. She would have used a knife and traced the blade up her old scars. There would be no Aiden to save her this time. But no, she had to stay alive. She had to live through everyday feeling like she was dying inside. It was for the girls. It was for Vinnie. It was what Aiden would want.

Cordelia would live, even if she wanted to die.

Carmen looked up from her phone, her gaze landing on the person standing in front of her. “If you need me to patch you up, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow morning,” she told them, locking her phone and sliding it into her pocket. “I finished work an hour ago, and I’ve had two whiskey sours. These steady hands can’t be trusted right now,” she said, a grin on her face as she held them up. “But if you’ve come to chat, I’m all ears.”

[coeurfroid]

“So many things went wrong in my life, but the one thing that went right was you.” - Vee and Lilith

“Baby,” Lilith said gently, her lips pressing a loving kiss to Vanessa’s bare shoulder. She knew that her girlfriend hadn’t had the best upbringing in France, and on top of that, her ex had been abusive towards her. It was hard to understand how anyone could be so malicious and evil towards someone so beautiful, inside and out. “You know that I feel the same way about you, don’t you? I have fucked so many things up – relationships, life in general. But you’re the most amazing thing to ever be mine, and I won’t let anything change that.” Her hand reached for Vanessa’s, and she kissed the back of it. “I know how people have taken advantage of you, and hurt you, before you came here. This is what you deserve now – happiness and things going right.” She let go of the other’s hand and wrapped her arms around her. “You’re my world, Vee. One day we’ll have everything you’ve ever dreamed of. We’ll always be right for each other, I promise.” ( @temptationsbeauty )

[coeurfroid]

“I don't think I'll ever be able to live without you.” Lilith and Aya

Lilith kept her head on Ayanna’s shoulder, her hand finding hers to gently squeeze it. “It’s a good thing you’ll never have to then, aye lass?” She smiled up at her best friend, then pecked her cheek. After breaking the news to Cordelia about what had really happened the night Aiden died, Ayanna had needed her, and Lilith would always have her back. Even if that meant facing the wrath of her boss in the future. “We’re both tough cookies, we’ll survive this shit storm. We just have to ride it out,” she reassured her. “And if she tries to hurt you, I’ll hurt her twice as hard. She’ll get over this, though. It wasn’t your fault. You didn’t know, you didn’t ask for it,” she sighed. Cordelia was being unreasonable, but when wasn’t she since Aiden and Andrew had died? “I love you, angel. Everything will be peachy-fuckin’-keen in the end.” ( @labelletragedies )

[coeurfroid]

“Don't you dare touch her!” twins!

“Are you fucking serious right now, Vincent?” Cordelia stood in front of him, her blue eyes fixed on his. Was he really this much of an idiot? She’d told him not to get involved with Ayanna again before she’d even found out about Aiden, and he obviously hadn’t heeded her advice. “You’re standing here in my house, telling me to not touch the woman who waited until now to tell me that my husband died so that she didn’t have to? Can you hear yourself?” Ever since they were born, it had been them against the world. And after their mother died, they were all each other had. He was jeopardising years of love and loyalty for a woman who had gotten her husband killed. 

Cordelia barged past him, her shoulder hitting his. “You sound as fucking crazy as mom used to.” It was a low blow, and she knew it. But she felt betrayed, and everything was hurting. Sadness had even managed to seep into her bones. She kept her back to him, grabbing a bottle of vodka from the liquor cabinet and unscrewing the cap. “I’ve defended you throughout our entire lives. I helped you get a diagnosis. I’ve given you money in the past. Supported you no matter what choices you made. Loved you unconditionally. And you have the balls to stand here and tell me not to touch her.” She chugged a few mouthfuls of alcohol, ignoring the burning sensation in her throat and chest. “You either side with me, or you can get the fuck out, too. Choose wisely, little brother. If I can cut dad out of my life, I can do it to you.”  ( @temptationsbeauty )

[coeurfroid]

“Even if it means giving up my life, everything I’ve done, I’ll do it for you; in a heartbeat.” (aya to Delia) AKA ITS TIME

Cordelia couldn’t believe what Aya was telling her. How could she sit there and say that Aiden’s hit was meant for her? Did she not know what she was doing to Cordelia’s insides? Her stomach felt like it was tied into knots, and the pain in her chest made her eyes well up with tears. But beyond that – beyond the sadness and the hurt, there was anger. So much unbridled rage. Up until now, she’d been taken it out on the opposing mafias. Blaming them for what had happened. But, she could see things clearly now. The problem was standing in front of her, pleading with her, and saying things she thought Cordelia wanted to hear.

“You think you can trade your life for his? Is that how you think this works?” she asked, lifting her head to look at Ayanna. The woman she’d once seen as a friend – no, family – was now the enemy. “I lost a husband,” Cordelia all but spat. “My kids lost their dad!” She began to pace the floor of her home, shaking her head and clenching her fists. This wasn’t real. It couldn’t be. Her breathing was heavy, and she could feel Ayanna’s eyes on her. She was waiting. Waiting for the volcano to erupt. With a steeliness to her eyes that hadn’t been there before, she turned to look at the other woman. “My kids are sleeping upstairs, and they don’t need any more pain. I won’t let them hear their mom lose it. I’m still good in their eyes. The innocence of kids, huh? The kids who lost their father because he took a bullet meant for you.” Her tone was eerily calm, and cold. “Get out of my house, and stay away from my family. This is the only warning I’ll give you, out of respect for what we used to be.” ( @labelletragedies )

[coeurfroid]

“Have you always been this beautiful?” Magdalena and Andie

“Have you always been this charming?” Andie replied, wrapping an arm around Magdalena’s waist to pull her closer. “But to answer your question, no, I haven’t. When I was a teenager, I used to have braces and glasses. Kids made fun of me, but I didn’t care. I had other things to worry about.” She smiled at the other woman, letting out a soft sigh. “I didn’t really have a glow up until I ditched my family and moved to Australia. I stayed there for years, and I met some girls who taught me about makeup and stuff like that. I learnt how to be beautiful, and it paid off. I mean, it bagged me you, for a start,” she said, her tone teasing. “And where would I be without you? Probably crying in a bathtub with a bottle of red, or punching Cordelia in the mouth.” Andie brushed the tip of her nose against Magdalena’s, then gave her a soft kiss. “You’re beautiful too, you know. Probably the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met.” ( @labelletragedies )

CARMEN TAG DROP !

[coeurfroid]

( carmela zumbado, 28, cis female, she/her ) speaking of the bardet crime family, there goes CARMEN ÁLVAREZ. i’ve heard that the BISEXUAL & PISCES works underground as a DOCTOR, but that’s all stuff of rumors. however, the fact that they’re notoriously + EMPATHETIC and + GENTLE as well as - INSECURE and - IRRESOLUTE doesn’t bode well for their rep. gentle hands bandaging up the wounded, serious glares from across the room, dancing in her underwear to reggaeton when nobody is around.

Hii! It’s Valky back at it again with another muse. I’m throwing this bio up quick and will add more later.

Carmen was born and raised in Havana, Cuba. 

She moved to Los Angeles when she was 13 years old. Her parents died in a car accident and she was sent to live with her aunt. 

Her childhood had been happy in Havana, and she loved her parents very much. Losing them tore out a piece of her heart, and she’s never truly healed.

Carmen has a little sister -- she’d protect her with her life. She’s still living in LA as she’s still in school. 

She loves her aunt, but she struggled to raise both Carmen and her sister. Money was tight, and it still is. Carmen sends her money every month.

Carmen had funding to get through school. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to do her dream job.

She moved to Amiens after hearing about a doctor position opening up. The money is better than any other doctors job would pay her, but she knows the reason why. 

Working for a crime family isn’t something she wants to do, but helping the wounded has always been her calling. And if she makes enough money, she can buy a house for her and sister to move into.

Carmen has yet to get truly caught up in mob business. All she’s done for now is help a few injured soldiers.

She’s very open to people but keeps her feelings to herself. She doesn’t trust many with her secrets or heart.
