Dear Readers,

So I was just going to comment but I didn't know if you all would read it so here we are.

For those who don't like the story anymore I am truly sorry but I can't make room for everyone. Not everyone will be satisfied in the end because I am writing this and in the end it is my vision, not yours. I will change some stuff around if I don't like it anymore but I will make sure that it fits the story that I want. Make a request just read my profile first before you flood me with requests.

So just leave the negative comments at the door because I am already clinically depressed. Though it isn't your problem, I don't need to be even more with those comments about not liking this story anymore. That just hurts bad. To hear, honestly.

The whole Zay relationship with Maya thing has been blown out of proportion. In the show Zay asks Josh for permission if he could sit with Maya at the movies, go out together as friends, so they won't be lonely. This is exactly their relationship in my story.

Their relationship is supposed to be just platonic but this is technically the closest thing Maya has had to a healthy relationship besides Josh. So she felt like he cheated on her when spoiler alert he starts to hang out with Missy because he likes her and he has to keep it a secret because everybody hates Missy. Maya is the only one who knows because they are really close friends and he was the guy she could talk to about her longing for Josh and he for Missy. Makes sense?

Maya wouldn't even be friends with Zay if he had actually cheated on her with Missy Bradford. If it was an actual relationship, Maya the Maya Hunter I know wouldn't care less if he kissed her and it was an accident; cheating is cheating. To her. I have never seen Maya as that type of girl after an actual breakup with a boyfriend would be willing to become friends with that said person.

They have never kissed or touched or whatever cuz that would kill me too. Yuck. Ewe.

With the cancer scenario I said that she knew that she had cancer just not how bad it was actually. I wanted to build up to why she didn't say anything about the cancer to her friends or her suspicions about Nia and Lucas.

I want this whole issue to be realistic cuz that is my writing style. My own sister didn't tell us she had cancer until it was almost too late because she didn't want us to worry. Knowing how much Maya cares for her family and friends, I think that she would have thought that her actions were selfless but her friends and family would have to remind her to rely on love and not fears.

Maya like anyone with cancer feared leaving everyone and everything behind because she had not really lived yet which is why she took a chance and finally asked Josh out.

I am really sorry I scared you all about the whole Zay relationship love thing...that actually makes my insides hurt a lot. Nia talking about how she didn't know what Zay was doing is because he was on the phone a lot with Missy. Lucas sure as hell didn't like Missy in the first season so I went with that as background for one of the next chapters. Nia didn't really know who Missy was to the gang so if her cousin was acting weird, he was acting weird to her.

If I am being honest, I plan for one thing to happen and then something else that I believe is great comes out. The joys of being a writer I guess.

Anyway, I shouldn't just post the author's notes but I needed to address this. Again I can't appease everyone because I don't write for you all to be satisfied. I write from my imagination and emotions.

I never really got the whole story on my sister's cancer and I wanted to write about it with one of the strongest female characters on Disney. I wanted something fun and goofy and lovey-dovey with Riarlie but I wanted something dark, scary and real with Joshaya. In reality, since Maya is so used to being on her own and relying on herself and just Riley maybe, Maya wouldn't share the cancer news so easily. If it was Riley, her family and friends would immediately know because Riley knows what she can handle in life whereas Maya has always had to handle big problems that seems like little bugs to her that she can step on.

That is life; you either deal with the bad with good or have nothing at all. I love Joshaya and I would never taint it with other people. Yuck.

Riley learns what real love feels like with Charlie and Maya learns to trust Josh more and never doubt it. Though they may agree to disagree on a lot of stuff, the love is still there. I haven't met not one person in my entire but short life who hasn't gone through something that brings them down to plain ol' sadness and heartbreak whether it is for friendship, love or money.

So this is my author's note and I really hope I cleared the air for a lot of you all. Thanks.
