Hi, my name is Serena and I do not believe in love.
I know how crazy that sounds; for a teenage girl like me to not believe in the whole concept of this 'warm, fuzzy feeling.' But everyone has their reasons.
When I was about 10, my parents started to fight, which caused my father to drift apart slowly. Eventually, he cheated on her and left her, along with my brother and I, for one of his mistresses. But that didn't really affect me as much as my brother and mom assumed; they thought it would be the end of the world for me. Crazy, huh.
Well, as much as I hate to admit it, in some ways they were both right about the divorce; it had changed me. I learned how to become stronger, and more independent. After those long 3 years of watching them, a loving couple who are supposed to love each other, fight and argue over every little thing, I eventually stopped believing in love. I didn't desire an epic romance like every girl in my grade. I have high expectations and I tend to close myself off when I fear people get too close.
Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of friends who I speak to everyday and see everyday at school. However, I don't welcome new people in with warm arms. I guess you could say I have trust issues after everything that went on with my parents, but their divorce only made me realize inside that every love dies eventually. Sometimes at night I just sit there and wonder about why people even date each other if there will come a time when they're going to breakup.
Heart breaks kill, that's why I vow to never let a boy get too close. I've built myself a good life, the last thing I need is for a boy to come in and ruin everything I've worked hard to forget and change. My parent's divorce served as a turning point in my life. I would not be one of those girls who allows themselves to get heartbroken by a guy.
A/N:
