"What happens when a nerdy girl falls for a playboy?"

"They say that pain is a sign of weakness leaving your body but in my case, it's a clamp that refuses to let go of my heart no matter how hard I try."

Chisom has had a complicated life but when she meets him, the world seems brighter and everything feels a thousand times better. 

 Even though Chisom masquerades as the strongest person she knows with nothing being able to move her, deep down, her emotions are as fragile as an egg: easily shattered. Meeting him was one of the best things to happen to her. He was her first love but would he be her last?

Painful Addiction

"You're not stupid for loving him or wanting a future with him. He's the stupid one for taking it all for granted. I do not want you to blame yourself for anything."

Those words were the only thing that kept me from shutting off again. I recited them like a mantra whenever I felt myself slipping into melancholy.

The moment Mariam said them to me, I etched them in my brain, never to be erased.

I never wanted to forget them for as long as I lived.

Whilst packing into my new lodge off-campus, her other advice popped into my memory.

"Chisom, he is not the last guy you will love. You will love again perhaps even sooner than you think."

I didn't completely believe her.

I had spent two years of my life loving one person so how could I just fall in love with someone new.

How would I be able to feel that spark with anyone else?

How would I ever be able to completely open my heart out to someone new?
