I Survived War, but Not My First Love
The next morning, ignoring his stern warnings, I took two painkillers and ran straight toward the heart of the ruins.
Sebastian told me that if I went out there, I wouldn't make it back alive.
Honestly, he wasn't the only one who thought so. During those four years, everyone assumed I wouldn't survive to see the next day. But I couldn't die before I found Damian.
By nightfall, I staggered out from the smoke, carrying two children in my arms.
Sebastian grabbed the kids to rush them into triage, then glanced over at me as I collapsed onto a cot, barely alive.
