She was tired of it. People asking her how she was. And expecting her to say she was okay. Because who would be okay in a sitiuation like hers?

The Matthews' tried to help. As best they could. But no one could ever help her. No one had gone through what she had. Seen what she seen. Touched what she touched. Heard what she heard.

Shawn an her mom were trying to help her. Have her eat. Dress. Clean herself. It was like her body was on auto pilot.
Had been for 149 days.

Maya had finally fixed the damn clock that Smackle gave her. The tick tock had been the only thing that kept her going. But it would be forever stuck at 11:26
149 days ago.
Thursdays where always Maya's favorite day of the week. It was the day when Lucas' mom would pack 2 lunches. For Lucas. For Maya. Always 2 lunches.
And this Thursday was a half day. So Lucas naturally took his girlfriend to the park right next to their school.
Maya had her head on her boyfriend's shoulder as she ate her chili. "I'm going to dump you and marry your mom."
Lucas raised a brow. "And why on earth...I can make the chili too!"
Maya laughed. "Like you can make it as good as her."
Lucas rolled his eyes as he kissed the top of her blonde hair.
Maya hummed a little as she played with is fingers and looked up. "I love you."
Lucas smiled widely. "I love you, too." He said.

The 2 teens were walking back to the school when they saw it.
Some random man was trying to steal a woman's purse.
Maya held Lucas' hand so tight ot make sure he didn't do anything stupid.
That wasn't until the same man came up and tried to take Maya's purse.
"Hey!" She yelled.
Lucas looked over and raised a brow as he pulled Maya away. "You don't touch her or her purse. " He said when he looked the man in the eyes.

At 11:26 a.m. was when Maya Hunter's life was ruined.
It was over.
She was never going to find anything like what her and Lucas had again.
Maya took a drink of water as she looked into the mirror. The bags under her eyes. The obvious weight lose. The hoodie of Lucas' that she hadn't taken off since he...

Maya Hunter threw a book at the clock.
