Summary: She's changed somehow and she doesn't know if it's for better or for worse.
It's been three months.
She feels like she's changed somehow. She isn't able to exactly pinpoint what that's changed about her or the energy around her, but something has happened. Something has changed in Maya Fey, and she doesn't know if it's for better or worse. Maya climbs into bed, weary and drained from her intense study sessions.
She leaves the lights on when she sleeps. The lamp is in a far corner of her room, tucked away so it won't shine too much into her eyes.
In the deep crevices of her mind, she remembers a light filled hallway and the soft scribbles of pen on paper. He sits at his messy desk with a cup of coffee in one hand and a pen in the other. She drags her blanket to the couch and plops down.
"Aren't you tired?" A ghost of a smile is present as he brings the coffee mug to his lips. She shakes her head in disagreement. He nods and goes back to work, the soft scratches continuing. There were so many things she wanted to tell him. Maybe I love you would've been good. Or I'll come back. Or don't forget about me, please. Anything would've been sufficient. She wipes away a few tears that drop from her eyes and the memory scatters and diffuses, and all she remembers is a soft smile and tired eyes.
The silence sinks in and she cries herself to sleep.
DEAR READERS, YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA HOW BAD I FEEL FOR NOT WRITING FOR ABOUT A MONTH.
School has been catching up on me and so has writer's block. I do hope you all keep reading though. As long as there are readers, I will keep writing!
