C. Lynne  \nDr. O’Donnell  \n11 April 2022  \nIn Love with Toxicity  \nIn the fall of 2018, I met a girl named Maryanne, and she changed my life. I quickly became infatuated with her, and I gave her every ounce of love I could give. However, her struggles with mental health quickly took a toll on both of us, and I was left with all the pieces to pick up.  \n(For the sake of privacy, names have been changed) Trigger warning: eating disorders, drug use, mentions of suicide  \nI began my junior year of high school in the fall of 2018. During the summer of 2018, I had gotten out of a two-year relationship, and I felt the emptiness in my stomach every day afterwards. It sounds crazy that as a 16-year-old I thought I had found the person I was going to spend the rest of my life with, but I always tend to love harder than what realistically makes sense. Love always seemed to hurt, but I longed to have someone I could give everything to. But at that point, I had no one to love in Crossville, Tennessee. Nevertheless, I started my junior year at Cumberland County High School, alone and vulnerable. There were times when I tried to find someone to fill a void, but no one ever held a candle to the love I experienced before. However, all of that changed in October of that year. I met a girl named Maryanne, and my whole world took a completely different turn.  \nI met Maryanne in a group chat I created. Some friends that I met online decided to make this group chat centered around true crime because that is what we all bonded over. This chat varied from text messages to actual videos and audios of each other talking and interacting.  \nMaryanne joined this group chat in late October after seeing a post about it on Tumblr. Immediately after Maryanne joined, I was drawn to her. She laughed at my stupid, selfdeprecating jokes about school and got a kick out of my joy for everything SpongeBob-related. Even though she barely knew anyone in the group chat, she answered everyone with such confidence. There was never a moment where I could catch her sweating about how to respond to a large group of strangers. She radiated confidence, and I admired that. After a couple of weeks of interacting in the group chat, I worked up the nerve to directly message her. Being the awkward 16-year-old I was, the only thing I could think to type was  \n“Hi, I think you are pretty cool and would love to get to know you more .”  \nTo my surprise, she responded quickly and said she would be more than happy to talk one-on-one with me. We exchanged our Instagram usernames with each other and began to text on that platform. Our conversations began with little facts about our daily lives. Maryanne was a year younger than me and lived in Puerto Rico. She had a black cat named Peanut, loved to draw, and enjoyed music from Queen, specifically the song “Radio Ga Ga”. Living in Tennessee, I was saddened that we were so far apart, but that did not take away any of the excitement I had when I received a text from her.  \nMy heart raced every time she enjoyed my rants about school or gushed about how cute my dogs were. I could not remember the last time I was so infatuated with someone. Maryanne quickly became the topic of discussion every time I spoke to my other friends. They would tell me how my face lit up every time I received a notification from her. Her brown eyes and curly black hair mesmerized me; she was a vision of beauty to me. After about a few weeks of texting non-stop, we had our first phone call.  \nMaryanne’s voice became my happy place. Her Puerto Rican accent made me smile, and she enjoyed me trying to say certain words in Spanish, and failing miserably, I might add. One of our phone calls really solidified that I was head over heels for her. I laid in bed and she said this to me:  \n“I want you to look out your window and stare at th","cbCaiaDdX0zZeuOH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaDdX0zZeuOH","pdf",305487,11,"English","# In Love with Toxicity\n## Meeting through a true crime group chat\n## Growing intimacy through texting and calls\n## First crisis and fear after intoxication\n## Early signs of deeper struggles","[{\"question\":\"How did the narrator meet Maryanne?\",\"answer\":\"The narrator met Maryanne in a group chat the narrator created, centered on true crime.
