You don’t grow up like I did and still believe people stay
Everyone calls me free
That’s one way of saying I have nothing tying me down
━━━━༻❁༺━━━━
Céleste De Clermont was born from a love story that was never meant to survive beyond a season. It had been the kind of romance people romanticize when they don’t have to live with the consequences. A summer in the south of France. Long evenings, too much wine, laughter that came easily, and promises that felt real in the moment. Her mother, a young actress working at a small local theatre, believed in it completely. She believed in him. In the way he looked at her, in the way he spoke about a future that never truly existed. But summer ended, as it always does. And he left. He returned to the United States, back to a life that had never included her — a wife, children, a reputation too valuable to risk. By the time Céleste’s mother realized she was pregnant, the story had already been rewritten. What had felt like love revealed itself as something far more one-sided. When she finally reached him, it was not with anger, but with hope. Hope that he would choose her. He didn’t. Instead, there were arrangements. Money, discreetly transferred. Conditions, quietly understood. No scandal. No disruption. No place for a child like Céleste in the life he had already built. And so Céleste grew up in a small apartment filled with echoes of something that had once felt like happiness. Her mother loved her. That much was never in question. But her love came tangled with grief, with disappointment, with a longing for a life that had slipped through her fingers. She was warm and affectionate in the way only someone deeply emotional can be — spontaneous, intense, almost overwhelming at times. On good days, she would dance barefoot in the kitchen, music playing too loudly, pulling Céleste into a world where everything felt light and alive. On bad days, the apartment grew quiet. Too quiet. Céleste learned early how to read the difference. The way her mother’s voice would slow. The way bottles lingered longer on the table. The way nights stretched into mornings without sleep. What began as heartbreak slowly shifted into something heavier — something chemical, something consuming.
Alcohol came first. Then other things. Not all at once. Never dramatically. It crept in slowly, like a fog that thickened over time. At first, it softened the edges of her mother’s pain. Later, it became the only way she knew how to exist with it. Céleste didn’t have the language for addiction, but she understood instability. She understood that love could feel warm one moment and unreachable the next. She understood that sometimes her mother would hold her close, whispering apologies into her hair, promising things would be different. And she understood that those promises rarely lasted. Still, she stayed. Children don’t leave. They adapt. She became observant. Quiet when she needed to be. Independent in ways no child should have to be. She learned how to take care of small things — making food, keeping routines, creating a sense of normalcy where there wasn’t one. And through it all, she never stopped loving her mother. Not even when it hurt. Especially not when it hurt.
By the time she turned thirteen, the apartment had grown smaller, somehow. Or maybe it was just the weight of everything inside it. Her mother had become a version of herself that felt both familiar and distant — still loving, still present in fragments, but slipping further away with each passing month. Her death wasn’t sudden in the way people imagine. It wasn’t dramatic. It wasn’t cinematic. It was quiet. A slow unraveling that ended in a stillness that felt too heavy for the space it filled. Céleste found her, and in that moment, something in her shifted permanently. Grief, at that age, doesn’t arrive cleanly. It comes in confusion, in numbness, in a strange detachment that makes everything feel unreal. There was no time to process it properly. No space to understand it. Just a series of events that followed — phone calls, decisions, arrangements made by people who spoke in calm, measured tones. And then, just like that, she was no longer in France.
America was not a transition. It was a replacement. One life ended, and another began so abruptly it felt almost disorienting. The apartment, the noise, the unpredictability — all of it exchanged for something vast, controlled, and impossibly polished. The mansion felt too big at first. Too quiet in a different way. Her father welcomed her into his world not with affection, but with obligation. He gave her everything she needed — a room, an education, financial freedom. There was no cruelty in him, but there was no warmth either. He treated her like something that needed to be handled correctly, efficiently, without disruption, and Céleste learned quickly: she was not a daughter in the way his other children were. She was a responsibility, an extension of a past he preferred not to revisit. Her stepmother, however, became something unexpected. Where her father was distant, she was present. Where he was cold, she was patient. She had always wanted a daughter, and instead of seeing Céleste as a complication, she saw her as something to care for. Not out of obligation — but out of genuine desire.
At first, Céleste didn’t trust it. Kindness, in her experience, had always come with instability. It could disappear. It could change. It could hurt. But over time, something in her softened, just slightly. Not completely. Never completely. But enough to let that presence exist without pushing it away. As she grew older, Céleste began to understand something fundamental about the world she had entered. Perception was everything, and if people were going to look at her — and they always did — she would decide what they saw.
She became effortless in a way that wasn’t entirely natural, but appeared to be. Beautiful, but not in a way that seemed forced. Social, but never desperate for attention. Always just slightly out of reach. She learned how to move through rooms, how to hold conversations, how to make people feel seen without ever revealing too much of herself in return. People became drawn to her, and she let them. But she never stayed long enough for it to matter. Because underneath it all, Céleste carried something she could never quite set down. She had seen what happens when you love too deeply, too completely, without being chosen in return. She had watched it unravel someone she loved more than anything. She had lived in the aftermath of it. So she made a choice — not consciously at first, but consistently. She would feel things in moments. Intensely, even.
But never permanently. Never in a way that could destroy her.
Céleste De Clermont is not careless. She is careful in a way that looks like recklessness. She laughs loudly, disappears suddenly, loves briefly, and leaves before anything has the chance to become irreversible. People call her wild, unpredictable, untouchable — and she lets them believe it, because it is easier than explaining the truth. That everything she does is shaped by what she lost. That beneath the effortless charm and fleeting connections is someone who learned, far too young, that love can disappear without warning, and that staying… is sometimes the most dangerous choice of all. -
