Riley closed her eyes, she knew that if she told Maya everything it would be a matter of time before she went to Shawn and then it would be a domino effect that would leave her family in ruins.

-Riley? Please tell me why did you threw it away and almost had sex in the

-I WASN'T HAVING SEX!

Maya lowered her head, even though she had changed, Riley was still naive.

-Do you honestly think he would have settled for only touching you when he had you served in a silver platter?

-MAYA! I was in control, and I could tell him when enough was enough.

-Love… boys don't work like that… and when a girl… makes them think they can go all the way… they will go all the away… and you won't be able to stop them once they make that choice…

-OK, that's it, get out of my room.

-Riley please trust me, you

-OUT OF MY ROOM!

Heartbroken Maya went out the window, with such bad luck that she trampled and fell from the emergency ladder, luck had her crash only two flights of stairs below instead of the concrete three floors below. Yet the impact had its consequences, her ankle did not only hit the metal, also received the full weight of her body. Three hours later Shawn Hunter was about to eat a sandwich and watch a movie when he heard weak sobs on the hall, curious she opened the door, what he saw broke his heart, wet from the rain, her jeans dirty and rip where she had hurt, was Maya.

-Jesus Maya… what happened?

As he carried her inside she told her how did she got hurt. The man was quick to giver her hot cocoa and some clothes, more precisely sweatpants that more or less he thought would fit the teenager.

-Aren't you going to change?

Maya rose her face with her eyes opened wide. The look on the teenager made him realize the reason.

-I… I think I'll go get a friend of mine who's a Doctor… and… uh… I'll be back...

As he left Maya changed into the dry clothes and laid on the sofa, as much as she tried to sleep, she was in so much pain she was in the verge of crying again. It was then when Shawn, along with a woman, came in.

-Maya this is Dr. Mack, she wants to check on you.

-Well your ankle doesn't appear to be broken… Shawn this is what I want you to get from the pharmacy, we'll have to immobilize it for a while.

-But

-I'm sorry Maya, but you got hurt badly, you'll need to use the immobilizer for a couple of days.

Two hours later Maya had the device on her leg and was sound asleep on Shawn's couch.

-When are you going to have the guts to ask her mother and become this beautiful girl's dad?- she asked

Shawn blushed.

-I want to… but it's not that simple… what if Maya doesn't like the idea?

Dr. Mack glared at him.

-Are you kidding me? The girl got hurt and instead of going home she came here seeking you.

Shawn glared at the sleeping teenager, the words of her friend echoing in his mind. The following morning Maya walked in the classroom with the head of a clutch.

-Maya what happened to you? - Sarah asked helping her to her seat

-I had an accident, where's Riley?

-Where else? Detention.

Maya's eyes opened wide.

-what…?

-Why are you surprised? She has been there more than here nowadays…

The blond girl lowered her head.

-What did she do?

-She threw a paper ball to Miss Hopkins on Math class…

-Wait.. where's Mr. Matthews?

-He went to talk to the Principal about it. - Sarah finally said.

Meanwhile Riley was in the detention classroom.

-Hey babe, we have some unfinished business… wanna meet tonight?

Riley looked at him, up to that point what she had discovered about her mother had made her change and break many rules both in school and at home, yet there was one she had been adamant to break: sneaking out of her house in the middle of the night. Disregarding everything she knew about the dangers and risks of doing that, she smiled at the boy.

-Sure, at what time?

-I'll pick you up at 10pm.

That night Riley bathed, and decided to wear loosen gray dress, some boots she had borrowed from Maya and some black makeup. Silently she crawled out the window and walked one block down where Richard was waiting for her in his car.

-Hey Babe, I knew you wouldn't disappoint.

-So, where are we going? - Riley asked

-Someplace where we won't be bothered.

After driving for a while he took her to park where they sat and glared at the stars Richard produced a bottle and drank, then she offered it to Riley who was surprised.

-Wait.. this is… alcohol…

-Just have a sip, come on.

Riley drank and felt the flaming liquid go down her throat, by effect she began to cough. Richard laughed and encouraged her to drink more. She was starting to feel dizzy when she felt Richard starting to kiss her and pushing her down.

-Richard…

-shh… we were getting to the best part the other day… just relax and let go…

At first Riley allowed him to touch her as he pleased, she began to get nervous when he pulled the top her dress and started to caress and kiss her breasts.

-Ok… Richard… I.. I…

-shhh…

-Richard.. Wait…

Riley felt him get on top of her and between her legs, suddenly all that Maya had told her hit her like a hammer.

-Richard please stop…

She desperately tried to push him off as she felt him trying to pull her underwear down.

-Richard… please… no…

Riley opened her eyes as much as she could when he took her arms above her shoulders and glared at her.

-you're going to love it baby… you have teased me enough…

-please… no… Richard I'm a v…

The boy pressed his lips against hers muffling Riley's pleas...
