I don't believe in love anymore. Not even the idea of it. I have seen promises buried in words, vows that slowly turned into lies, relationships that faded without warning, and people who once swore "forever" but left nevertheless. So I stopped believing - because trusting felt more painful than staying guarded. I only knew how to love my family and friends. For me, they were enough - my safe place, my home, my reason to stay strong. They were the only kind of love I trusted, the only kind I believed would never leave. Axzhor Jarren Zamonte comes into my life and shows me that love can be stronger than my anxieties and deeper than I had previously believed in. But fate had cruel plans for me. Just when I thought I had finally reached the happiness I wanted and felt comfortable with, I found myself bleeding from the very leaves I once thought would protect me. And in the silence that followed, doubt began to whisper the questions I was too afraid to ask. What if one day, everything I held onto breaks and disappears? When the things I thought would stay suddenly vanish- What if everything I called permanent was meant to be temporary?
