Story Notes

Originally written on Wattpad. Reimagined with intention.


REM began as a raw, emotional story I first shared on Wattpad. Over time, it grew into something bigger. This version of REM has been revised slightly, and AI tools were used to fix grammatical errors. My original narrative and writing tone remain intact.


What you’re reading now is a deeper version of the story:

More emotional weight

Stronger character arcs

Cleaner pacing

Still rooted in real trauma, survival, and love


The edits were guided by my vision, my voice, and my characters.


Thank you for riding with me, whether this is your first read or your return to Jazelle and Blaze’s journey. This is for the ones who’ve been through hell and still choose love.
