Dear, Ex: I'm Not Your Backup and I Deserve More Than This

"You don’t have to break me to keep me.”

Ava loved him deeply. Gave him her time, her loyalty, and her heart.
But to Jayden, she was always second the backup plan. The "maybe." The girl he only noticed when he was lonely.

After one too many broken promises, Ava finally walks away. Not because she stopped loving him but because she finally started loving herself.

Now, she’s rebuilding her life piece by piece. No more begging. No more waiting. No more half-love.

And just when she’s not looking for anyone new… Elijah walks in. Calm. Steady. Different.

He doesn't chase.
He doesn’t play games.
He sees her not as a backup, but as the main story.

But can Ava open her heart again after everything she’s survived?

Or will the past try to pull her back just when she’s ready for the love she truly deserves?
