― TONIGHT WAS ANOTHER LONG NIGHT OF PATROL WITH THE TEAM. As Courtney insisted that I would have to come once again tonight. Ugh! This is the 9th time this week itself that I had to still come after complaining. I get the whole idea of what Courtney wants to do with Patrol. But after three hours everyone including myself has had enough. 

I know Cindy Burman isn’t gone yet because she lived, The Gambler disappeared, Tigress and Sportsmaster have been put in jail, and Grundy I don’t know exactly what happened to him. Sometimes Skylar tells me that her brother spared him, but other than that she isn’t telling me much more about how the two of them are possibly looking for him. 

Flying in the sky, I still couldn’t see anything around me as I finally heard Courtney call for everyone. As my hair still hadn’t gone down. Flapping down on my wings, I finally touched down on the ground as my wings picked up the dust around. Making Skylar cough around me. Next to her was the ginger Maya King, who still had the same look on her face that she had months ago. Since Stephaine left at the beginning of the semester. 

She doesn’t seem to talk about it, so everyone including myself had to drop it. No matter if she can hear my thoughts about it. But not everyone dropped it, sometimes Courtney asks her forgetting that Maya has had no contact with her “friend”. 

Courtney continued to fight the team about patrol. As Rick was tired of constant patrol with no result, as he used sarcasm to tell Courtney he was done. Beth still hasn’t been able to get the goggles working, as they didn’t detect anyone. 

Yolanda had guilt when Rick talked about Brainwave being killed when it caved in. But knowing the truth was hard, she was a part of killing Brainwave. But nobody knew it was Maya except me from Courtney and I had to get her to tell me about it. 

Once everyone walked away I looked at Courtney, “You know Courtney, I love you're my sister, but this is getting to be too much. Take care of yourself more like Courtney than Stargirl. I will see you in the morning. Don’t stay up too late.” I told her as she looked at me sadly before I lifted off and flew in the sky back home, as I was ready to get changed, and shower before going to sleep before my one final tomorrow. 

After pulling over a large t-shirt and shorts, I knew that I was ready to in my father’s words, “Hit the hay.” As I turned off my phone looking over to the picture beside my bed of my parents. Seeing them both smile, and myself smiling. It was a month before they were killed. A month before they left me again...to be alone until I resurrect back into this body for the rest of my life. Death is what will haunt me forever, because I can’t die. Because dying doesn’t last. 

Setting it down I closed my eyes drawing a breath. Not long after did I return over to my bed, pulling my pillow closer into my head. Once slumber came into my body something felt off hours later...my eyes couldn’t be closed as something was haunting me.
