people think silence is safe.
it isn't.
Silence is where things grow...slow, unnoticed.Until they become something you can't control anymore.
Tasha learnt that early.
In her house, silence meant survival.It meant saying the right things,doing the right things, becoming exactly what was expected.
No questions.No mistakes.No feelings
She was so good at it.Too good.
Before anyone noticed,she had already learnt how to hide everything, anything...anger, fear,even the part of herself that wanted something more.Especially that.
Because wanting things made you weak and vulnerable.and weak people got hurt.
But Damien??...
Damien learnt something different.
Silence to him wasn't safety ,it was a warning ⚠️.The type that came before doors slammed, voices rose or something broke... something that could never be fixed again
In his world silence never lasted.it just waited.so he stopped waiting.
He learned how to take control before anything could be taken from him.Hiw to read People before they could lie.How to hold on tight enough that nothing slipped through his hands again,even if it meant breaking it first.
They were never supposed to meet.Not really.
Different lives.Different rules...But the same kind of damage
But things like that don't stay for long...Not when silence begins to crack.
The first time she saw him,she knew two things.
He wasn't safe.
And neither was she.
She should have walked away.
But well she didn't.
And what can you do when two different worlds collide??...
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
