*TRIGGER WARNING* *MENTION OF SUICIDE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE* This is my first time writing here. I haven't written anything in a very long time but something keeps eating at me making me want to write again so here we are lol. I hope you enjoy my first story. Feel free to leave me a comment or help critique my work. I would love the feedback. This is a short story about a traumatic event in my life that I went through at the age of 21. He was my first love. I miss him every day but through the darkness I found myself. I turned this nightmare into my biggest dream. I prevailed and so can you. *DISCLAIMER* The names in this story were changed from the real names to protect their privacy. Some aspects of the story are also dramatized.
