Humans are cruel creatures. Often times we are oblivious to even our own feelings. I guess sometimes all we want is someone who'd hold on to us and care for us.
One could spend a decade waiting for that certain someone to just barge in without knocking.
But what do you do when you lose that someone, that other half that completed you when you were shattered into pieces.
"Would you wanna go through those memories again?"
Maybe you would or maybe you won't.
But the question still remains, "Would you want to fall in love again? Cause if two people in love become one,
then maybe when you lose your other half, you just become half the person you were."
I guess in the end, it's the heartaches and heartbreaks that give our lives a meaning.

"If you love me, you won't leave me."
Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation.
With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook.
A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too.
She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him.
Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom?
