"will i freak can i calm down ?"

In Bellamy's road through hell, a tiny light blinded him as no other light did before.

It warmed the cold nights spent wandering in the streets of a dying city as he found reassurance in a meaningful picture he once took of the precious spark. It brought a shy smile to his heart as his face irradiated from the illumination revealed to him.

She gave him faith in life.

Not one in which he'll barely survive but one he'll have a devouring passion for.

The day she layed her charming eyes on his senseless existence and simply exchanged small talk with him marked the day of his revival.

She was so magnetic that he endlessly gazed at her beautiful face, his eyes stuck on her tempting lips.

His desire grew more and more oppressive as he'd sweat out of anxiety each time she would be around, losing it at her electric touch.

No other fall in his entire life had been so agreeable and still, he promised himself he'd never give in to this enchanting feeling.

Pretending as he would never take the stars out of the sky and put them in her eyes instead.

Pretending as each time she looked back at him, it didn't feel like the sun was warming up his devastated heart.

Pretending as if he was on top of the world, deserving of it all, when deep down he knew he'd never be good enough for the love of his life.

- - -

Breaking promises he repeated as an endless formula in hopes it'll be able to disenchant him from her spell, while staring at her in awe - always from a distance, hidden by the shadows of his own soul.

Breaking down the barriers established between two opposite individuals, her light eclipsing the darkness surrounding him.

Breaking free from the chains he decided to imprisoner himself with, only to taste the salvation of her lips.

"you're a sun : bright, beautiful, the world needs you."

"i'm a moon : constantly chasing you."

They loved to put parallels between the saying and their improbable couple, as the world constantly reminded Carmella she deserved better than to be put to rest in the shadows of her boyfriend.

Two entities in jeopardy, swearing up and down that no one would ever tear them apart, their bond stronger than breakable bones and carreers' ending threats.

Two wrestlers endlessly pushed to the sidelines of the independent scene but once they had the chance to burn the house down, their souls ignited in a fire so bright that nothing else remained except for their on screen's alliance and outdoors' eternal love.

But how long can one resist to the temptation ?

How much does one sacrifice to reach their dreams ?

After all, maybe what people said was right : "the light always runs away from the shadow to protect itself from disappearance."

✗

"i have wounds, only you can mend."

She left him high and dry, hurting his brain and annihilating the only door ever opened to access his heart, the remains of it still beating inside of her merciless fingers.

No goodbyes, no heartfelt accolade, no text, no letter.

Just the unlimited void she digged in his life, entity, soul and heart.

When Bellamy was feeling her graceful touch upon his damaged face, she instantly ignited the flames of a warm love and peaceful existence.

As soon as she walked away, her scent carved in his lungs forever as the only thing she bequeathed, Carmella unleashed the most glacial blizzard ever seen.

It froze his sweet memories in wait to be set free by her caress, exactly like the first time they kissed - and melt their hearts together.

Between the devastating grudge and the hopeful faith, he rapidly chose - refusing to be turned in a walking dead man. She showed him that his heart wasn't his biggest weakness but a strength he needed to cherish, to protect at all costs.

Even if she failed him, abandoning their oath to make it in the big leagues together, Bellamy would never fail her precious teaching. Instead he lays his tired eyes on the screen of an empty living room, the object of all his desires and prayers' sole sight able to race his heartbeat.

"May we meet again." He lets out in a whisper, his eyes shifting toward the WWE contract's papers, almost as a fresh promise marking the beginning of a new journey.

E L E N A ;

I just HAD to put the "moon/sun" reference to Glory&Gore haha! I'm overly excited about this new project of mine for so, so many reasons :

a) the vibe of it will be extremely far from g+g's one because, if I have it my way, it'll revolve almost entirely around relationships/friendships' growth and stuff on the human side.

b) not enough nxt stories. Carms is so precious to my heart + Bellamy is my fav. character from my fav current show.

c) first cover's attempt so pretty please, if it's ugly af, let me know haha!

Few clarifications : Bell/Carm were in a relationship already and, in this book, she's always been a wrestler and they both competed in the independent scene - wink wink to Mia and her growing love for the independent's circuit. I didn't put any promotions name regarding the one(s) I want them to come from because I need to do my research first - regarding the dates, the wrestlers they're connected to, etc.

She disappeared yadayada but since it's my writing, it's NEVER that easy because I'm just a psychopath - once you'll know the actual reason and how stuff actually unfolded, you'll hate me forever.  xD

Bellamy just signed with NXT and they'll meet again after a couple of years - and yep, both have changed a lot and again, you so gonna hate me by like what chapter 2 ? haha.

It's a pretty long note so I'll give you glimpses about the rest right and left as the story goes by. Please let me know your thoughts so far, it always helps me improve and is greatly appreciated!

ps ; the "breaking oath, we were supposed to make it together" is so, so inspired by Sami/Owens' segment in Jericho's highlight reel - because all my favs reunited couldn't have any other effect. And also by Hurts' "Stay" since it's one of my favourite songs.

love all of you cupcakes! ♥
