Oh oh…

So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Maya had to get away for a while. So she grabbed her jacket and Mohinder's keys and got in the car and began driving. Maybe some fresh air would help her clear her mind...

It had been nearly a month since she had seen Gabriel…

A song reached her ears, filling the air with a story of a love that was lost… She wasn't really listening, thinking mostly. Gabriel was everything that she was looking for. He was kind, caring, and above everything else he understood her… Or at least she thought he did.

Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

Deep down, Maya still cared for him, but after what he did to her brother, she found it hard to forgive him.

She found herself wondering where he was; and what would have been if the things that had happened hadn't surfaced…

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

He delivered them safely to America. He believed in her. He helped her to control her curse… her ability. He loved her, she could feel it. But that changed, she didn't know why at first. But then again she still didn't know why…

It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done

She parked the car and walked to central park… She looked up at the sky hoping to find answers. Why did he do it? Why did he leave? Did he even love her at all? He was everything… What happened to us, Gabriel?


He was everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away

Maya lowered her gaze to the ground… Was he thinking of her too? She sighed and stifled a bitter laugh and whispered to herself, 'all this time you were pretending… so much for my happy ending…'
