Love isn't supposed to feel like this—like drowning and burning at the same time.

Chris was my safe harbor, the man who promised me peace after a lifetime of chaos. With him, I thought I'd finally found stability, a life where my past couldn't touch me. But even the safest places can feel like prisons when your heart is somewhere else.

And my heart? It belongs to Zayn.

He's relentless, consuming, impossible to ignore. Every time he looks at me, it's like he's stripping away the walls I've built, forcing me to face the fire I've tried so hard to extinguish. He doesn't just see me—he knows me. And that terrifies me more than anything.

Chris is comfort. Zayn is chaos. One offers safety, the other sets my soul ablaze. But the closer Zayn gets, the harder it is to pretend I'm not falling for him all over again.

Now I'm trapped between two men. One who keeps me grounded, and one who makes me feel alive. But chasing that fire means risking everything—the stability I've fought for, the love I've clung to, and maybe even myself.

Because with Zayn, there's no middle ground. It's all or nothing. And if I'm not careful, I might lose it all.
