Chasing What's Left
by CEJAYYL
Description:
Amara Dela Cruz is used to surviving. In a world that rewards perfection and punishes softness, she's mastered the art of keeping her head down acing deadlines, hiding burnout, and pretending she's fine even when she's not.
Then comes Silas Reyes.
A Mass Comm student who talks too much, laughs too loud, and carries grief behind the way he avoids silence. He's everything she's not chaotic, warm, unbothered. And yet, in the most inconvenient semester of her life, she finds herself drawn to him.
What starts as a forced group project slowly unravels the walls Amara spent years building.
Through late-night coffee runs, missed calls, and moments that feel too much like home, she begins to wonder
What if the things we run from are the same things we need?
This is a story of emotional baggage, healing friendships, pressure that bruises, and a love that grows when no one's looking.
Because sometimes, chasing what's left... is the only way to feel whole again.
