Maia's first time is less than pleasing. Then a mysterious bad boy comes to town and Maia can't get her mind off of him. Then when Maia finds herself in rehab she meets a girl who has more to her than meets the eye. Will she fall In love or will she...
"So you haven't brought your boyfriend here?" I don't know why Joel cares about that.
"Ex-Boyfriend and no, I don't think he would even appreciate it." I catch Joel looking at me with raised brows.
"You dumped that asshole, way to go." Joel enthuses.
"Yeah, not exactly." Joel furrows his brows.
"What?"
"Yeah, he just kinda ghosted me."
"What? Why?" I look away from Joel and fidget with the rip in my faded blue skinny jeans.
"I guess he just wanted sex and when he got it, he didn't need me anymore." I avert Joel's gaze for as long as possible until his strong hand reaches towards my chin. Joel's touch electrifies me, as he pulls my head to face him. Our faces are centimeters from each other.
"That guy was a dick, he didn't deserve you." Joel murmured his strong hand still on my face sending shivers throughout my body.
"Are you cold?"
"No, I'm fine." Joel lays his hand on my shoulder.
"Please, you are shivering and you are physically freezing." Joel takes his jacket off and drapes it over my shoulders.
"You ... you don't have to do that." I start shrugging off the jacket but Joel stops me.
"I may be an asshole but I'm not that much of an asshole, you're freezing, I have a jacket, simple."
"Oh simple huh?" I chuckle leaning slightly towards Joel, we gaze into each other's eyes. Joel's perfect brown eyes flicker towards my lips, as he leans in closer. Then, because the universe hates me, my cell phone pings ruining the perfect moment.

"Shit!"
"What?"
"Avery is performing at the pep rally and I have to be there. I've got to go." Joel's eyes sadden, then his face flickers to a stone-cold expression as he gets up and walks away, his jacket still around me.

I'd like to say that none of you are ever alone, there is always someone that is willing to listen. You should never feel pressured into doing something you don't want to. You should never feel like you owe someone sex for any reason, it is your body you choose what to do with it.
