#possibly !

 * ╰        EDEN IS NOTHING BUT A HEARTBEAT, BREATH, AND SWEAT as he pushes through the night air ; gravel crunching beneath his running feet as he hastens to ágata’s place. she’d called him and asked him to come over not much longer than half an hour ago ; her words were so quiet, like perhaps she had fallen somewhere dark and she was lost. eden was a soft spoken man ; someone who never raised his voice —— but a gentle tremble in the sound of ágata’s voice made eden want to scream, and before the call had even finished eden had found himself dressed in mismatched clothes and running out of the house like a mad man —— wanting, needing to reach ágata as soon as possible. there was a panic that had fallen in a veil over eden’s mind, and he had no thought of calling a cab, or even calling sihyun for a ride —— running, running, running ; he was running to ágata. 

          by the time eden reaches ágata’s doorstep he’s covered in a thin sheen of sweat and his chest moves in a rapid rise and fall as he tries to catch his breath. he allows himself just one moment to recover ; taking a deep breath in, and then one out, before he raps with a gentle urgency at the wood of the front door. 

          “ ágata ? darling, it’s me —— it’s eden. ” 

that was the funny thing about the past , it ALWAYS had a way of catching up with you — even if you try your hardest to run from it . but staying in the same area that you grew up in ? having friends that were now friends with people one knew once upon a time ? it wasn’t exactly a recipe for success . but it seemed success was something that had slipped from justine’s grasp long ago . that , however , didn’t mean she’d tried her damned hardest to AVOID the one person on campus since the day she discovered they were both attending the same university . it wasn’t due to hatred , far from it really . justine had assumed keeping her distance was for the better , she didn’t imagine it was all that fair on theo to have to juggle things because she had made a decision to pull away . to shut her out of her life after her accident . but something , the world wasn’t on either of their sides . she’d only stepped across the threshold of # twelve when she heard movement down the hall towards the kitchen area . her mind didn’t even once go to the thought that maybe it was someone other than her four , but as she stepped into the kitchen / living area the smile upon her lips & the impending bright greeting faded slowly as eyes fell upon the dark haired girl who’d once been someone her features would have instantly brightened upon seeing . “ oh . it’s YOU . ” the last thing she’d meant was for her words to come out sharp & negative , but the surprised shock was unable to be hidden from both her features & voice . but , there was a quick scramble to recover at least a little bit , “ i just mean — i didn’t expect you , i thought it was one of the girls in here . ”
