Break, Burn, Repeat

Cassidy and Joseph have it all.

They are the undisputed king and queen of Silverlake High: Joseph, the sculpted, commanding captain of the football team, and Cassidy, the dazzling junior whose magnetic popularity ensures all the guys want her and all the girls want to be her. They have been inseparable for two years, their love a fiery, all-consuming spectacle that everyone envies.

But behind the perfect smiles and shared hallway dominance, their two-year relationship is a ticking time bomb. Their love isn't sweet; it's toxic, abusive, and utterly dependent. They thrive on the chaos, believing the intensity of their arguments is proof of their deep, inescapable passion. This is how they love.

The façade finally shatters one explosive night when Joseph pushes Cassidy too far. The resulting confrontation rips away all pretense of control: words are traded for curses, and arguments devolve into a desperate, physical fight until one word-breakup-is spoken.

Now they are separated, but the truth remains: they need each other to function. Joseph needs her because she is the only one who can truly calm him down and genuinely love him. Cassidy needs him because he is the only one she has ever truly loved. Unable to admit their crippling codependency, they spiral into a destructive, endless cycle: calculated provocations designed to spark jealousy, rage-filled fights, desperate reconciliation fueled by explosive sex, and then a cold departure-only to start the pattern again days later.

Will Cassidy and Joseph be trapped forever in this punishing loop of pain and temporary pleasure, or will the queen and captain find their way back to the only love they know: their shared, toxic obsession?
