Both Leigh and Maia have issues. For Leigh, he's in love, with no hope of falling out of it with Maia. She on the other hand has too many problems of her own to think about love, after battling anorexia and physically hurting herself she thinks she can't handle romance or even close friendship in her life. Even with all these factors against them, love quickly blossoms then disappears after a tragic incident of rape between Maia and three prep-school boys.
