Not All Men (Jordan Parrish + Brett Talbot)

"Boys are walking red flags and only good for flings."
Jaliyah grew up getting disappointed by the people around her, and soon figured out that the only person she could depend on was herself. She knew that if she wanted to survive life, especially in Beacon Hills, she needed to be tough. She didn't know everything that happened in the dead of the night, but she knew enough to get scarily good with the knife that she always kept up her sleeve--and how to utilize literally any object around her. And she knew people--specifically boys. She knew that a tough unbreakable exterior paired with leaving first would make them hurt instead of them hurting her. Playboy Brett Talbot was a perfect example of that. Except, he seems keen on sticking to her side. And don't even get her started on Deputy Jordan Parrish's quiet ability to lurk in her mind.
