You know those cheeky movies where there's a girl who is stuck in a love triangle with two guys? The one she's meant to be with is obvious, but there's always drama and heartbreak with a happy ending right?
This is a story that is kind of like that, but there's a dark twist.
Jax lived the life of a normal girl. She went to college, paid bills, lived in an apartment, and cut herself a lot.
Wait what?
With her dream of moving to LA complete, Jax thought that her life with her boyfriend, Aiden, would finally turn happy. Unfortunately, things got worse. Every night she would come home to Aiden with a random girl.
Jax wanted this to end. She tried leaving him, but he always got her back, sometimes with charm... sometimes with force. Jax wanted a way out, and so, suicide called her name.
Just as she was about to take the jump, a guardian angel came to save her. More like a half Korean youtuber who happened to be jogging by. But that's where the love triangle comes in.
Markiplier, the one who saved her, brought her to his house where she met his girlfriend, Amy, and his roommate, another youtuber who went by the name, Max, or his YouTube handle, Modifier321.
It was just one kiss.
But it meant so much more.
So begins the love triangle of a lifetime, but the ending of a life.
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
