@NayellyGonzalez0 As I said before. I never say and never thought that Keifer was a green flag from the start. Ofcourse he was not. He literally broke Jay's nose out of anger. I know he was terrible.
But you have to understand one thing that The theme of ANMSE is ( Enemies to Lovers ) So in that case, it quite obvious that they will treat eachother like hell first than kept falling harder and harder.
Coming to the other point... As you said "did she forgive every single bad thing Keifer did to her ?" So tell me one thing here besides I used you part what else has Keifer did bad to her ? From that day he threw those words at Jay, he suffered like hell. Burned in shame, guilt , pain, regret, self blame. Tell me does he not ?? He even left section e ( only in this story )
And I'm not forcing Jay to forgive him. I'm just saying when she get to know how much he regret because of that ?that how much her heart is telling her that what he did, wasn't totally and only his fault. Also he never truly meant those words than she should think about giving one just one more chance.
Because if from inside she still feels for him and wants to give him a chance but because of anger, hurt and self respect or even Pride she didn't do that and someday Keifer would gone... Then there will be nothing left. No anger. No pride. No self respect. Just ghost of memories.
And it still freakes me out even thinking what if Jay have to live in a world where Keifer didn't belong anymore.
Because than Jay would lost a soul, who was willing to sacrifice everything just to see her happy...
