Jess Spike had come to know as a fact that nothing good ever happened in life, at least not to her. She had come to realize that once you feel that amber of hope in your heart, the chances of it turning into a fire were zero. Nothing was forever. Everything had its own ending. Constantly snapping at every one, being bitter and sarcastic, acting insensitive and emotionless, keeping up her facade had become her life. She's used to being in control, being able to intimidate everyone, she's used to getting her way with things and working til the crack of dawn. So she's completely thrown off guard when Connor Woods walks into her life, turning everything around, infuriating her to no end, taking control of everything she had ever come to know, opening doors to new possibilities and Jess, can not stand it. Love lies...but real eyes realize lies.
