M is for Manipulative. A is for Attitude. I is for Impulsive. S is for Sarcastic. I is for Irresistible. E is for Emotionally unavailable. Put them all together and you get me - Maisie Scarlett Brooks. And yeah, I'm exactly the girl your parents warned you about. Growing up, they tell you the safest thing to do in a messed-up situation is walk away. Whether it's a toxic person or a bad party, you're supposed to listen to that little voice in your head - your conscience - and leave. -Mine booked a one-way flight to the Bermuda Triangle and never looked back. I'm the girl who tells you it's fine to take the pills - "just once." The one who throws parties that end in cops, crying, or chaos - usually all three. I'll invite you out, ghost you halfway through, and leave you stranded in a field without cell service. Don't say I didn't warn you. I didn't care about much. I didn't have much to give. Maybe you'd see things differently if you knew what I've been through. The kind of things you don't come back from without turning a little bit... cracked. Then came the night of the binge. The drive. The flashing lights. And suddenly, I wasn't just trouble - I was in it. "Maisie Scarlett Brooks, what were you thinking?!" "I was thinking it was time to go to bed. Instead, I got pulled over by some obnoxious police officer." This is the story of a girl who's been through hell, set it on fire, and is still standing in the ashes - smirking. Meet Maisie. She's a beautiful disaster, and she's not sorry.

M for manipulative (only 50% now). A for attitude (always 100%). I for impulsive (cut in half). S for sarcastic (full strength). I for irresistible (you're welcome). E for emotionally unavailable (...still climbing). I used to be alone. Beaten, bruised, and begging for someone to stay. My mother never believed I was worth loving over men, and the men in my life made sure I believed her. Then I hit rock bottom-prison-level rock bottom. And he showed up. Levi. A cop who should've walked away. Instead, he fought for me. Protected me. Taught me kindness... and then love. But that was before. Now he's gone. And I'm not sure what's left of me this time.
