6 parts Ongoing MatureValerie Vasquez and Elena Espinosa had been best friends since grade school. The two were inseparable, and although they were very different, they had one thing in common- their love for fashion. Now in the city of Los Angeles, they strive towards their mutual dream.
Growing up as the ugly duckling took a huge toll on Valerie's self esteem, whilst Elena had always been perfect, she was the girl everyone either wanted to be or be with. Valerie did everything she could to claw her way up the social hierarchy. Finally finding her place amidst the crowd, she fell into a group of unruly friends who introduced her to a life of drugs, sex, and crime. What was supposed to be a one time thing, turned into an addiction, something she depended on. Elena was eventually pushed away, fearful of the person her best friend was becoming.
As Valerie's life entered a downward spiral, Elena could only watch from afar as her former friend completely lost all sense of who she once was. It wasn't until Elena finally offered her aid, Valerie was able to heal.
Years later, the two were able to leave everything behind to pursue their dream. Valerie swore long ago that she'd suppress her feelings for Elena, in fear of losing the woman she loved. But, old habits die hard when people and problems from the past arise. Now challenged with the reality of adulthood, adversaries, her self-image, and the feeling that Elena is slowly drifting away, Valerie struggles to find control amidst the turmoil.
As her mental health slowly deteriorates, she can only find comfort in her old habits. Still, nothing can silence the voice in her head telling her to be completely, utterly perfect.
