“After she got hurt by someone that she cared about, she's so scared to get attached again. Do you know what kind of effect getting hurt does to a girl's head? It changes her personality. It makes her more protective of herself by putting up this wall to block anybody out who tries to get in. It taught her to be more careful on who she should trust because not everybody has good intentions with her, not everybody is gonna be honest with her & not everybody actually cares. It puts this fear inside of her, this fear that every guy she starts to like is going to break her heart.”
