Goodbye Was a Lie

Set in modern day Los Angeles, Jared Knight, an introverted art school student, is used to being a blur, keeping to himself and his closest friends while only being able to recently explore his romantic options after years of emotional toil. Serenity Prescott, nothing but a classmate from the past years is lovesick, delusional, and desires to be the center of Jared’s desires. Convinced to be the one for him, she struggles mentally with commitment, being in an abusive relationship and putting herself in risky and dangerous situations to fulfill her intense need for attention. Her pretend love for Jared is nothing but a repetitive, toxic cycle, and as Serenity has chosen to let her mental health destruct further, her chronic lying ultimately becomes a yandere’s demise–losing the interest of her one and only. The sweet and innocent act can only last so long until stalking becomes a daily act. Obsessed and hopeless, Jared’s friends notice the trickling dangers and strange behavior, seeing a psychopath in the making. For the love Serenity thinks she so badly deserves, she’s out to get revenge on Jared and return back with his heart–literally. After all, they do say revenge is a dish best served cold.
