Love me or leave me alone depicts an average teenage relationship between a boy and girl. The short delves into the hormonal rage of puberty that teenagers experience through how the two characters treat each other. The short begins with the boy and girl arguing on what seems to be a school football field, evoking the teenage age of the two characters due to the location being linked to education. In a medium shot a boy spits onto a girls face. The girl reacts by shouting at the boy and pushing him in medium shot also. The girl then walks away from the teenage boy to a shelter. The short then cuts to a wide shot communicating the sudden distance the two characters have made between each other.
