"Your love is my drug, and I'd trade every addiction just to keep you forever."
⭐︎
From a young age, Haelyn Aguilar knew she was different. She understood people in ways others didn't, she was quiet and preferred to be alone, and she was quite smart. However for someone so bright, she had a tendency to not excel in school. Whether it was skipping classes or forgetting to do assignments - Haelyn had a habit of self-sabotage. It wasn't that she couldn't do the work, she just didn't see the point. Teachers called her lazy, people called her lost, but Haelyn simply felt disconnected. Rules bored her, structure suffocated her. She craved something more, something bigger than the small town she felt trapped in.
The last thing she thought she would be doing was falling in love with a drug addict.

Enzo knew how to lie. Lying was practically his middle name. Whether it was lying about where he was/what he was doing or how he's feeling, Enzo was good at it. After growing up in an environment full of hurt and bad influence, Enzo numbed his feelings with drugs and alcohol. He wore a mask so well that no one ever questioned it. To his teachers, he was the perfect student. To his friends, he was the guy who always had it together and did drugs for fun. But behind the carefully crafted facade, Enzo Martinez was crumbling. The pressure, the expectations, the loneliness-it all became too much. Enzo knew how to control his feelings and people.
He didn't expect a girl like Haelyn to see right through him.
