Raven's POV
You never really understand the power of a good shower until you're at your lowest. Trust me, I get it now. A shower isn't just for cleaning; it's for cleansing. It's like the water isn't just rinsing away the dirt, but it's washing off every ounce of the pain, the hurt, and the bitter words that come from people who think they can break you. So yeah, when I stepped under that hot stream, I didn't want to leave. For once, I felt like the world could just… wait. Everything could pause. The pressure, the frustration, the anger — it all just slid down the drain with the water.
How long had I been in there? I couldn't be sure. Time seemed irrelevant when all I could focus on was the rhythmic sound of water cascading down. The harsh thoughts that had been choking me earlier slowly drifted away, and I felt something close to peace.
