𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘴 𝘢 𝘍𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳, 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘗𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘚𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵. An interracial urban story in which a girl meets a boy who is the opposite of her but another version of her at the same time. They go through ups and downs as their love for each other sinks deeper into the roots of when they first met. She becomes so distracted trying to unwrap all of his layers, she forgets to guard her own; unbeknownst that he was doing the same thing. Only he was getting way closer to the goal than she was. -𝐌𝐒.

The only person capable of saying checkmate has always been me because I have saved my queen. Only in front of my queen shall I bow, but she is hidden from everyone, including me. A T H I R A N O V A K I'm not hurting anymore, hurting seems easy? Try shattered, destroyed, hollow. He was supposed to be my King, and this was supposed to be our game of chess, but he left. Now, twelve years later, he says that I am his queen but isn't the queen supposed to protect her king, after all this is a game of chess.
