Love Me Like This Love Me Like That
A woman experiences persistent sadness that never leaves her, like an ever-present companion. This feeling is sometimes comforting but often times tormenting.
She hears voices in her head that sometimes blur the lines between her thoughts and its will. Her forever companion is her shadow, a reflection of herself that is in constant support of her, it assures and comforts her.
She has grown dependent on these inner companions.
Jenna, a 24 year old black girl has had it tough, she’s your textbook ghetto girl.
From a crack dealing father, to a mother who got knocked up as a teenager and kept popping babies as fast as she was popping pills, Jenna has seen it all.
The only solace Jenna has is herself and her three friends, the voice in her head, her shadow and depression. That is until she meets Adam.
Adam is the polar opposite of Jenna, he grew up sheltered in a loving home and never had to worry about money unlike Jenna who fought for her survival every day of her life.
To Jenna, he is just a rich white kid who is playing with her because he finds her interesting. An accidental murder or two, maybe even three brings them closer and they fall deeply for each other.
Adam wants to pull Jenna out of the darkness but Jenna wants to bring him down with her because there is nowhere better than rock bottom for someone hiding from the light.
Will Jenna be able to leave the darkness and find comfort in the light Adam provides her or will she succumb to her inner demon and prove that broken girls stay broken and break everything around them.
