It was a week before I was supposed to visit Maya. A week before the start of an awesome summer filled with laughter and memories. That all changed that Friday afternoon when uncle Shawn called..

-Flashback-
I was sitting on my bed getting Maya's present ready. I brought us friendship rings with matching bracelets I was putting the finishing touches on the boxes when my phone ringed. I picked it up to see it was Uncle Shawn.

"Hey! Uncle Shawn I'm so excited I get to see u guys in less than a week!"

"Riley.. " his voice sounded weak and broken now I was scared

Uncle Shawn? Is everything okay? I say calmly and as I await an answer

I start hearing sobs from him that can't be controlled and then he speaks in between his crying
"M-Maya I-is in the Hospital."

My heart started to beat faster than it ever as before, my mind was working ten times faster trying to process the words I just heard , my view was becoming blurry with the forms of tears in my eyes when I saw the picture of me and Maya on my desk. NO NO!Maya no it can't be real she can't be hurt no...

"No! Why?!" Is all I can say before I start to cry uncontrollably

His voice is filled with angry and hurt " it was him. He did this to her, he broke her! He took away her spirt and light!

Who's him who's this person that destroyed my friend. Then it hit me.. I wiped my tears and clenched my fist

"Lucas" I hissed

- End of flashback-

It has been a month since the accident. A month of anger building inside of me as I watched my best friend struggle to get a hold of her life. I walked up the stair to Maya's room , I reached her door and took a deep breath. I see her sitting at the bay window looking out into the city her blonde wavy hair shines with the sun rays. She turns around and sees me and smiles

"Hey Riles"

"Hey Peaches" I say as I make my way to her "how are u feeling" she gives me an annoyed face

"Riley,I'm fine okay it been a month I'm not doing that again" she says as she looks down at the bandages on her arms.
