Spoiler Alert: This story contains the spoilers of the "Forever" season finale, now streaming on Netflix.

In the last few minutes of "Forever", the year and a half love story between Mara Brock Akil's new Netflix drama series, Keisha Clark (Lovie Simone) and Justin Edwards (Michael Cooper Jr.) came to a stunning conclusion. In high school, a young lover stood on the streets of Los Angeles behind. Frank Ocean's "Moon River" meanders through the scene, and Justin kisses Keisha's forehead after stroking the infinite symbol necklace he gave her. She turned and walked away, turning back briefly. In turn, Justin took off in the opposite direction.

It's the eight episode season of "Forever" and it's a very beautiful and painful ending. Inspired by Judy Blume’s groundbreaking novel of the same name, the series shows two black teenagers from the late 2010s who fell in love and broke their hearts and got each other in trouble but remained intact but permanently changed.

"I don't think it's the end," star Lovie Simone told type. "I think this is the end of a chapter in this version. I don't want them to break up. I'm Justin and Keisha's team."

After watching the “Forever” of emotion and beauty, the audience will undoubtedly agree. From breakups to parties, mistakes and all the challenges of teenagers, Brock Akil offers a nuanced and extensive First Love. “It’s fun to work with Mara,” Simone said. "She is very enthusiastic every day, exciting and now. As an actress, it's very reassuring. It's also reassuring to love her after working with her because I love my girlfriend, "Love is..." and "Game".

With “forever” opening, Keisha and Justin attended kindergarten together – reconnecting at the New Year’s Eve party and doing electrochemistry immediately. The intensity between Simone and Cooper puts the series as the best romantic boost portrayed on TV.

"The bonds and friendship come naturally," Simone said of her co-star. "You're spending months with someone almost every day, and you have similar passions and interests. So it's not difficult. It's hard to be told not to connect. Our characters know each other in elementary school and reconnect as high school students. Regina King (who was executive producer on the show), director of episode 1, hopefully we can do a lot of things like we do. Talk to you, but it might not be.'"

Family obligations and academic expectations complicate teenage romance. But Keisha and Justin's alliance is desperately struggling to defeat by a secret Keisha: her ex-boyfriend, Xavier Mills, documented her sexual act, which she later shared with their classmates. Although Keisha moved the school to evade censorship, the weight of the sex tape was constantly hidden in her mother, and the blow to her reputation kept haunting her and her emerging relationship with Justin.

"I'm trying to have as much elegance as possible with Keisha," Simone reflects. "She's a teenager who is going through all these first-time things, love and romance, but she's also learning how to learn how to do it when it comes to the trauma that affects her and her movements. I agree with Keisha and her decisions because they're part of her journey, and her process is her self-awareness and self-love."

Keisha's mother Shelly (Xosha Roquemore), is a single mother who does everything she can to provide her daughter with opportunities she has never had before. Still, track and field athletes were eventually forced to clean up sex tapes. When Justin's parents learn about the video, his mother Dawn (a brilliant Karen Pittman) gave the two the last pass. In Episode 6's "Honeymoon", Kesha finally reveals to her dirty and terrified mom why she gave up her scholarship and left her former school.

"It was fun for me and Xosha," Simone recalled. "I had to really sit with Keisha and pull it out, she had to sit in Shelly. We were our relationship. We were friends. We were friends, so we got along and had chemistry. Working with her, it felt natural to have a feeling. She was a single mom. My young mom grew up, so I knew the relationship.

Sex, intimacy and consent are central themes in “Forever”, and Brock Akil does not shy away from uncertainty, desire and excitement caused by teenagers’ sexual and sexual experiences. "We had a close coordinator on the set, Sasha (Smith)," said Simone. "What Sasha does is different from what I've been used to with the close coordinator. Sasha, Michael, Mara and I will be on my own during rehearsals. We will run through the scene, discussing what we will do and what keeps innocent and acting. Although there's a lot of consent on the screen, there's a lot of footage on the screen, but it's also comfortable on the camera.

Simone's favorite romance is Constance Sayers' "Witch of Time" and a love legend between Whitley Gilbert and Dwayne Wayne. She eagerly read Blume’s 1975 novel, sitting down, and auditioned for “Forever.” Although she hasn't had a chance to meet the famous writer, Bloom's sons did visit the scene. "I did hear from Mara that she really liked the show," Simone said. "So I'm glad I could be a part of it."

"Forever" is already receiving rave reviews, with Simone receiving a nomination for Gotham TV for her outstanding lead role in the drama series. With the honor of the final episode, Simone hopes to see Keisha and Justin’s story provide viewers with some first love tests and triumphs. "I hope they want love," she said. "But I also want people to love themselves as much as they do."
