Alessia Russo Oneshot

Finding Voice

The silence that enveloped you since your twin had moved abroad was suffocating. Every day felt like a battle against the emptiness left behind by their absence. Words seemed to stick in your throat, unable to escape the void that had settled in your heart.

Alessia, your girlfriend, noticed the change in you immediately. Her warm ocean eyes held concern as she watched you retreat into yourself, your once vibrant personality fading into the background. She longed to reach out, to bridge the gap that had formed between you, but she knew that healing took time.

One afternoon, as you sat together in the quiet comfort of your shared apartment, Alessia gently took your hand in hers, her touch a silent reassurance of her presence. You turned to look at her, your eyes reflecting the turmoil within your soul.

"I miss them," you finally whispered, your voice barely audible in the stillness of the room.

Alessia nodded understandingly, her thumb tracing soothing circles on the back of your hand. She knew that your twin had been your rock, your confidant, your other half. Their absence had left a void that seemed impossible to fill.

"I miss them too," Alessia replied softly, her voice a gentle melody that stirred something within you.

For the first time in what felt like an eternity, you felt a flicker of warmth ignite within your chest. It was as if Alessia's words had unlocked something deep inside of you, something that had been dormant for far too long.

With a shaky breath, you found the courage to speak, your voice trembling but determined. "I don't know how to live without them," you admitted, tears welling up in your eyes.

Alessia wrapped her arms around you, pulling you into a comforting embrace. "You don't have to do it alone," she whispered, her voice a soft promise that filled you with hope.

In that moment, surrounded by Alessia's love and support, you felt the weight of the silence begin to lift. It was a small victory, but it was a step forward nonetheless. With Alessia by your side, you knew that you could find your voice again, one word at a time.
