"I'll never forget the words of my mother that night my parents separated. I knew since then, love is not real."
Yessica Holmes; a truly cynical teenager. As a child, love was something she believed in deeply. The thought of being in someone's arms alone was enough to bring forth a sense of longing. However, after witnessing the departure of her parents, her views changed drastically. Love, to her, meant fake devotion. Love, romantic compatibility, it's all a big lie to her. Even she knows it's love that she's been longing, she feels shame even grazing the thought of it.
"Love is not real, it never will be."
Little does she know, continuing to deny such a strong feeling all the time means to burn. Love is going to form a scar on her heart, one that will seem to last forever.
