Scarred Hearts: Edison Cresanto Axton (Season One)

Season One of Axton Series


[From Fritz's POV]

My stomach churned with nerves as I clutched my violin case, the worn leather a familiar comfort against the unfamiliar bustle of the train station. Leaving Edison felt like a wrong note, leaving our melody hanging unresolved. Ahead lay Willowbrook, a prestigious music school, the key to my future according to my mom. Yet, every step I took echoed with the memory of our last performance, the raw emotion in his eyes mirrored in mine.

Days bled into weeks, the rigorous practice at Willowbrook a demanding distraction. Each night, however, I found solace in Edison's compositions, their playful notes filled with a longing that resonated deep within me. One day, a new melody arrived, a single sheet of music that felt like a question, an invitation. My fingers itched to respond, to add my voice to the conversation. As our melodies intertwined, weaving a tapestry of shared emotions, a wave of relief washed over me. The distance remained, but the silence was shattered.

Now, standing in Willowbrook's grand hall, an unexpected opportunity awaited. A duet with a stranger named Ethan, a chance to showcase our original piece. My heart hammered a chaotic rhythm. Could I find a new harmony in this unlikely partnership, or would this just be another discordant note in the symphony of my life, forever overshadowed by the melody left unfinished with Edison?
