Colliding Worlds: My Guardian Fairy

Chapter 1: Alex's Shattered Morning

The text message lit up my phone at 2:17 a.m. I had just drifted into uneasy sleep after hours of staring at the ceiling in my cramped Brooklyn studio.

"I'm sorry, Alex. I can't do this anymore. I need someone who's stable, someone who has their life together. It's not you—it's me needing more. Please don't hate me."

Three years. Three years of shared playlists, late-night talks, and promises that now glowed coldly in blue letters. I read it again. And again. Thumbs hovered. "Can we talk?" Delete. "What did I do wrong?" Delete. "I can change." Delete. Nothing sent. By dawn her number was blocked, her photos gone from my feeds. Clean cut. Jenna's specialty.
