Spontaneous is not a word easily associated with Crystal Moore. In fact, every moment of her life is meticulously organized...until she runs into Jacob Riley the summer before college. Known as the notoriously smart-mouthed bad boy of their local high school, there was certainly no love lost between the two. Their arguments were the stuff of legends-but Crystal intended on putting all of that behind her with a fresh start. However, when a party goes terribly wrong, it seems as though cleaning Jacob Riley off of her slate has become nearly impossible...and worse, Crystal's frightened to find that she may not want to. There are hidden depths smoldering in his fathomless hazel eyes that a forbidden part of her is longing to uncover layer by compelling layer. As she sinks deeper into the enigma that is Jake Riley, Crystal finds that "unplanned" seems to have become her middle name. When unexpected circumstances force them together in a way neither one of them could have ever imagined, Crystal discovers that the moments we don't plan for are the ones that teach us the most.

On steamy, hot summer days, the parched soil cracks like ice into jagged lines resembling lightning blowing up the midnight sky. Summer craves to be quenched and begs to feel the invigorating shower that only rain can douse. It takes what it can get from rain without considering the possibility of destruction. Rain is a necessary evil. It's prayed for yet cursed and hated. It brings forth destruction and life simultaneously. Rain is a refreshing sprinkle and an overwhelming flood. It's elusive, and it alone decides when and where to release its precipitation with no regard to the impact of its power. *** Summer breezed into McGrath's Pub like a breath of fresh air. Despite her miserable day and the tepid rain dampening the streets of Harrisburg, she lit up the bar with her bright smile the moment she entered. Rain is looking for a warm body to take to his bed. He spots Summer and immediately approaches her. She has no clue about his plans for her, and he's determined to bring those plans to fruition. Summer's heart and soul were destroyed by the torrential storm that is Rain Grant. Summer is determined not to let what happened to her happen to the "Next Girl." *** "Next Girl" I bet you probably met him at a bar Let him walk you to your car I bet he said he never fell this hard Yeah, I remember that part He knows how to say all the right things Knows how to get you outta that dress Knows how to make you think you're thе best thing But I know what happens next, girl Co-written and performed by Carly Pearce *** Cover by: @zmswift 1st Place 🥇 The Carnival Awards 2021 Chick-Lit Featured in WattpadShortStory's Realistic Fiction Reading List Qualified for Round 3 of the 2023 Amby Awards
