Amara's wake-up call, Amara never thought she'd be the kind of person to get blindsided. She wasn't naive. At least, that's what she told herself. At 26, she thought she'd learned how to spot red flags, hell, she'd watched enough of her friends crash and burn in toxic relationships to know the signs. But with Jordan, she'd let her guard down. She loved him, trusted him, believed in him. For three years, it felt like they were building something real. The kind of love people wrote songs about, the lazy Sunday mornings tangled in each other's arms, spontaneous road trips with the windows down and music blasting, birthdays where they couldn't stop laughing long enough to blow out the candles. It wasn't perfect, but what relationship

was? And yet, lately, something felt wrong. It started small. Missed Tech. here and there. Sorry, babe, been slammed at work. That was fine. Amara got it, she was a graphic designer, she knew what it was like to grind for deadlines. But then came the cancelled plans. Movie nights she'd been looking forward to for days turned into, Raincheck, something came up at the office. Dinner she cooked went cold on the table while his phone went straight to voicemail. She tried to silence the little voice in her head whispering, he's pulling away. She told herself not to overthink. Jordan loves you, she said out loud one night, staring at her reflection in the bathroom mirror.

Don't ruin this by being paranoid, but social media told a different story. While she was at home sketching new designs or trying to keep her succulence alive, Jordan was out. Posts tagged at bars, clubs, rooftops, nights with friends she'd never met, people she wasn't invited to hang out with. Pictures of him smiling with his arm draped casually over other women's shoulders. Nothing obvious. Nothing incriminating. But something about it didn't sit right. Girl, that man is moving funny, Tasha said one night over wine.

Amara sighed. You don't know that. He's probably just stressed. He's been working late a lot. Tasha raised an eyebrow. Working late or working someone else. Don't let your loyalty make you look like a clown, Amara. She hated that Tasha's words burrowed under her skin.

The rainy Thursday. It was a Thursday when everything broke. The rain was coming down in sheets, drumming against her car as she sat parked outside Jordan's apartment. She hadn't planned to go over. She didn't want to seem clingy. But she'd left her phone charger there two nights ago, and her phone was down to 7%. He wouldn't mind, she would. she reasoned. He was supposed to be working late anyway. She grabbed her spare key from her bag,

he'd given it to her last year, said he wanted her to feel at home in his space, and jogged to the door, shaking the rain from her jacket. The apartment was quiet when she stepped in. Too quiet. Then she heard it. A laugh. A woman's laugh. Amara froze. Her fingers tightened around the key still in her hand. Slowly, she moved toward the living room. And there they were. Jordan. And her. The girl was curled up on the couch wearing one of Jordan's shirts, his shirt. Her legs were tucked beneath her as she laughed at something on his phone. Jordan sat next to her, not touching her, but close enough. Too close. When he saw Amara standing there, his face went pale. His mouth opened, but no words came out.

The silence was louder than a scream. Amara felt her heart crack in two. No tears, she didn't cry. Not then. Not there. Okay, she said softly. Her voice didn't even sound like her own. It was too calm, too steady.

Jordan jumped up. Wait, Amara, this isn't what it looks like, but she was already turning to leave. She didn't slam the door. She didn't yell. She didn't demand explanations or shout accusations. She just walked out into the rain, the cold drops mixing with the heat burning in her chest. The aftermath. Back in her apartment, Amara sat on her bed with her phone in her lap.

She scrolled through old photos of them, beach trips, birthday dinners, selfies where Jordan had his arms wrapped around her like she was in. entire world. She deleted them one by one. Every smile, every, I love you, every memory felt like a lie now. Her phone buzzed. It was Jordan. She didn't answer. He texted. Please, Amara. Let me explain. It was a mistake. She doesn't mean anything to me. You mean everything. She stared at the screen for a long time before typing. You made your choice. Now I'm making mine. Then she blocked his number. Rebuilding.

The first week was hell. She cried. She raged. She screamed into pillows until her throat went raw. Tasha showed up with ice cream, wine, and every breakup cliche in the book. You're better off without him, Tasha said, rubbing her back. Amara wanted to believe that, but her heart still felt like it had been torn out of her chest. By week three, something shifted. She started drawing again, not for clients, not

for deadlines, but for herself. Sketches of broken hearts, of phoenix's rising from ashes, of women standing tall with fire in their eyes. She went out with Tasha. She laughed, really laughed, for the first time in weeks. Slowly, she began to feel like herself again. reflection. Looking back, Amara realized Jordan wasn't her whole world. She was. Losing him hurt like hell, but finding herself again. That was worth every tear. She didn't need closure. She didn't need him to tell her why he betrayed her. She just needed peace. And now, she finally had it. To be continued.
