her mind has been all over the place , whether she wants to admit it or not . long hair flows down seline's back like a 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎 making it's way down to earth , blessing mortals and gods alike . she's sitting with her legs crossed , comfortably on the bar stool with her elbows on the counter top , eyes thoughtfully peering at her phone . sel wasn't an avid reader , but once a book drew her in , she was firmly grasped in the authors hands . it also helped calm her mind down , especially with recent events and the likes occurring . in a past life , seline was positive she spit in the 𝕗𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕠𝕗 𝕗𝕒𝕥𝕖 . there was no other ( logical explanation , at least ) as to why she kept bumping into jonas , of all people . he was her past , he should've remained there , stuck in the boot of italy . as always , the 𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖘 𝖔𝖋 𝖋𝖆𝖙𝖊 taunted seline , showing her things she couldn't have . living in the sharehouse was the biggest blow at the girl's face . she could deal with seeing him around town , even . but living with him ? there had to be a final straw somewhere , right ? privacy was a luxury at yujaen , and now it seemed out of sel's grasp , with a familiar face practically haunting her . she made it blatantly clear she didn't want to be around him , going as far as exiting the room & the house itself when he was around . it was just too much . too much history , too much promises , too much hopes & dreams . she could feel it floating around in the air when they were in close proximity of each other . as sel fell further into stephen king's spell , she was interrupted by footsteps entering the kitchen . tired eyes rolled to the back of her skull as she looked up , air halting at the tip of her 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐭 . and of course , it had been jonas . ❝ should we have a rule or something ? like if i'm here , you aren't . and vice versa . so we can just cut the bullshit and not have to be forced to be around one another , ❞ her words were crueler than intended , venom laced around each one as she finally looked at him . he had differed only slightly in the last five plus years , grown a bit taller and into his features . his eyes were still as soft as she could remember , how could she forget ? most nights they spent together , sel gazed into them , lost in the 𝓼𝓮𝓬𝓾𝓻𝓲𝓽𝔂 of their friendship & the thought that he'd always be with her .
