CHAPTER 1

I was a woman who believed in love and fairy tales. But that was before my heart was broken into tiny pieces, leaving me broken and scarred. I had been deeply in love with Jaxon, my ex boyfriend, only to be rejected and abandoned by him in the cruelest way possible.

As the days turned into weeks and the weeks turned into months, I cried an ocean's worth of tears. I could not comprehend how someone I loved so deeply would treat me with disregard. The pain she felt consumed her every waking moment and I found solace in the darkness that surrounded me.

Little did I know that the whole pain which Jaxon has caused me has taken a toll on my mental well-being. I began to experience symptoms of depression and develop aversion to being around people. Every conversation with people felt absolutely like pure agony, and the thought of facing the world outside filled me with dreads.
