Throw Away is about the love story of two characters named Jessie Jones, a prostitute and Gabriel Adam, a cop. Although I'm only half way done I know that Jessie's and Gabriel's love will only cause complications. Jessie, who fell into the wrong hands when she was kicked out of foster care at 18 tries really hard to stay positive about her job. Then her boss gets into trouble with the "big dogs" and attracts the attention from the police so he makes Jessie and her roommate work along a dangerous street so that they can report back to him anything they find unusual. Then Jessie meets Gabriel (on her day off) and without knowing he's the cop investigating her bosses case she falls in love with him. Things start getting worse and worse because first Jessie can't date, second her boss is getting into a lot of debt and trouble and third Gabriel is drafted and has to go to Vietnam not knowing that Jessie is now pregnant (Jessie doesn't know either). So now Jessie is trying to solve things her own way, which I don't think its a great idea because the way she's handing things is by living with Spencer to become a spy for the police. It's not like he's touching her or anything but I'm really excited to learn what happens next. I think Spencer is going to get beat up or worse killed.
Tough Questions Note and Notice:
So when Jessie starts dating Gabriel they always get into an argument about Jessie quitting her job but its not that simple. Because Jessie is Spencer's "favorite employee" he has her on a leash, repeatedly saying that Jessie is his property and that she will never have a life of her own. Jessie knows that if she tries to quite her job she could put both Gabriel and herself into extreme danger although it could also mean living her life with Gabriel. Gabriel has offered to take Jessie to the small town he grew up in, where he is sure Spencer and his screw won't find them but Jessie is hesitant. Jessie has to ask herself if she is welling to live a hidden and fear filled life with Gabriel or ending Spencer so that other girls can live their lives at the cost of maybe even getting killed.
