Envy

.

***If envy is a sin, then let me be damned.***

Graham was born to be a star.  

Once upon a time, that star shone only for me.  

Now, I have to share him with the rest of the world. 

For a while, I thought I could do it. Because, beneath the hypnotic smile, gorgeous body and God-given charm that made him famous, I still caught glimpses of my best friend.

Of the boy who called me sunshine and loved me. 

I wore that love like a crown . . . until he placed it on another’s head. 

Losing him was agony, distance felt like the only cure.  

When tragedy reunites us after years apart, it only takes one touch to erase the past. Just like that, I'm back in his arms. 

He promises this time will be different. But I’m afraid to believe him. 

Because behind his star’s blinding brilliance is a darkness that doesn’t want to let him go. 

I know a star that bright can’t belong to just one person, but my jealous heart doesn’t want to share him.

I want all of him . . . even if wanting what doesn't belong to me leads me to ruin.
