Love for Us When I first saw you, I was afraid to talk to you. When I first talked to you, I was afraid to like you. When I first liked you, I was afraid to love you. And now I love you, I am afraid to lose you. -Druvan Enriquez What happens when a young girl encounters different kinds of love before she even understands what love truly means? Jailla Aliquerece is an eighth-grade student who is slowly discovering the complicated world of friendship, family, admiration, and young love. Then she meets Druvan-a quiet boy who somehow catches her attention and, eventually, becomes the person her heart chooses. But young love is never as simple as it seems. A misunderstanding during a confession changes everything between them, leaving Jailla to believe that perhaps some feelings are better left unspoken. Years pass, and when fate gives them another chance, they discover that the feelings they once had may not have disappeared after all. But this time, it's not just a misunderstanding standing between them. People, circumstances, pasts, and the choices they make will continue to test what they have. Yet through every separation and every obstacle, one question remains: If two hearts keep choosing each other, will love be enough to keep them together? This is a story about the different faces of love- the love we find, the love we lose, the love that teaches us, and the love we choose to fight for. This is our story. This is LOVE FOR US.
