TRAINING PART 8: How far apart?

In only one miraculous night, my life was turned around. The only thing that still felt unstable, was my relationship with Jace. I thought about talking to him the next day, I wanted to know what had happened to us, whether he still loved me or not. I needed to know.

I spent the night awake, staying back by the river after they all left for the dorms, hoping to think a little about how everything has a habit of turning around all of a sudden.

I thought of how much we’d lost, but also how much we had gained during the past few weeks. Yes! We lost our normal lives, our studies, our homes, our stuff, even some of our friends, people we knew who died during the attack. But, if we think about it, because of this war, our friendship grew stronger than ever, I found Jace, and not only did we build a relationship, but we built one where we became each other’s source of life, of happiness, of inspiration. A relationship that now filled my head with doubts.
