BACK AT THE HOSPITAL

They tried to cheer her up; but they knew that nothing would; she was dying, she had fought as hard as she could and now her body was fighting against her. Every day they visited her, she just looked weaker.

Riley was reading "To Kill A Mockingbird" to Maya when she noticed her wrist "Maya where's your bracelet gone?" She asked softly.

"I took it off." She said sadly "Well actually the nurses took it off." She corrected herself.

"Why?" Riley asked, knowing deep down what the reason was.

"Because Shawn gave it to me for fighting, but I can't fight anymore." She said weakly, confirming Riley's fears.

Riley held Maya's hand "Listen Maya, just because you're not going to make it, doesn't mean you're not fighting." She said softly, her voice breaking.

After hours of talking, Riley finally left Maya to get some rest.

Maya was sleeping peacefully when suddenly she had a nightmare, she woke up crying and saw Shawn sat beside her bed, smiling and holding her hand.

"Another nightmare kiddo?" He asked softly.

"Yeah." She whispered weakly.

"Did you want to talk about it honey?" He asked.

"I died." She mumbled "I mean I know I'm going to die in here but..." Her voice broke.

"It's okay, you don't have to say if you don't want to." He reassured her, bending down to hug her.

Maya continued anyway "I was back there, I had just been stabbed, no one found me and I died, I bled to death." She said tearfully.

Shawn sighed, trying to stop himself from crying "Are you scared you're going to die alone?" He asked her softly, holding her hand tightly.

"Yes." Maya said sadly, tears running down her face.

Shawn wiped away her tears and sighed "In that case, we will be with you until your final breath." He told her.

As he held her hand, he noticed she had taken her bracelet off "If you weren't fighting Maya, you would've died by now." He said, stroking her hand.

Maya rolled her eyes in annoyance and went back to sleep.

"It's okay Maya, you can let go." He whispered, kissing her on her forehead.

Eventually Shawn left, leaving Riley to talk to her friend again.

Maya seemed more tired this time, so they just decided to watch a movie on Riley's DVD player instead. The movie was a comedy about two girls liking the same guy; maybe not the best film to watch, but they enjoyed it.

As the movie finished, Maya cried "I love you Riles." She said tearfully.

"Thunder?" Riley replied, holding up her hand.

Riley waited for a reply but instead heard a long monotone beep.

She burst into tears and hugged Maya "Good…bye." She said slowly, heartbroken.

MAYAS FUNERAL

Riley and Lucas had both written a eulogy for Maya, Farkle was going to but he couldn't think of any words to say so instead he wrote her a poem.

Riley stood up and was about to give her eulogy when she burst into tears, Zay walked up to the podium "Keep reading, you can do it." He told her softly, holding her hand.

Riley wiped away her tears and started reading.

"Maya died on 24th September 2016 at 8:02pm; two days before her 16th birthday, she never made it. Right up until she died, she fought; she was in SO much pain, you could see it on her face, but every time I came to see her she pretended to be fine, until her final night. I was watching a movie with her when she started crying "I love you Riles." She told me, I think…. she knew she was going to die that night. We all promised Maya that she wouldn't die alone and we kept it; I sat beside her until she passed, watching her final breath. Maya was always there for me so I had to be there for her." Riley said tearfully.

Riley continued reading, wiping her eyes "She was a beautiful artist; Maya didn't like to show her emotions to the outside world, or even most of her friends, so instead she expressed them through drawings, whilst I just paint purple cats." She laughed nervously.

"Maya didn't ask for much; the one thing she ever really wanted was a mother and father, and she finally got that, just not for very long." She said, gesturing over to Shawn and Katy, who were at the front crying.

"I love you too Maya, your pain is gone now, sleep well." Riley said, taking off her friendship ring and placing it on Maya's coffin.

Zay and Riley walked back to their seats, holding hands.

"Thank you Zay." Riley whispered tearfully.

BACK AT RILEYS APPARTMENT

Once the service was over, all Maya's classmates went back to the bay window and shared their memories of Maya; how she would always have something to say back to you and she was the most loved person in the class.

Lucas got angry "No hang on, you were the ones that said Maya was attention seeking and now you're talking about her like she was your best friend, well she wasn't, she was ours." He yelled, gesturing to Zay, Smackle, Riley, and Farkle.

Riley stood up "Lucas calm down." She whispered.

"No Riley, I won't calm down, if you guys are going to pretend like they're not being two-faced, then fine, but leave me out of it." He said, walking out of Riley's room.
