Joyce has a life filled with pain, sorrow, and suffer. She is in love with Elliot, but because of where she comes from, she thinks she does not deserve him. She tries to not think about him by trying to crush on another guy, but it only makes everything worse. Therefore, she takes all her anger and sadness off on her life. The way she does that is by staying alone all the time. Nobody, not even her closest friends and family don't know about her love life, and around them she acts happy and jumpy. Her family are always fighting. Everyday she hears screams, yelling, and shouting. When she tries to stop it all, all she does is makes it worse. It has come to a point in her life where she believes that everything she touches breaks.
