𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐀 𝐆𝐈𝐋𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐓 was sixteen when her world ended. one moment, her parents were everything good and certain - the next, they were gone. and with their loss came silence, grief, and the unbearable weight of being left behind.
the stages of grief hit her one by one - denial, anger, bargaining, depression - each one twisting her into someone she no longer recognized. the once bright, hopeful girl fades into the background of her own life, learning to exist in the echoes of what used to be.
but then comes acceptance. and acceptance doesn't come softly.
it arrives in the form of a stranger with eyes like storms - a man who doesn't save her in the way she expects, but instead forces her to face every broken piece she's been running from.
because sometimes the savior isn't the one who heals you.
sometimes, he's the one who burns away the pain until all that's left is who you were meant to become.
