Hi I'm Maya Hart and I'm sixteen I don't have family except my daughter ava and I love her with all my heart she's 12 years old so yeah

We live in Austin Texas
And it's beautiful
The lights the stars
The horses
Everything I couldn't ask for a better place to live

Today ava and I are going to the park she has playsets outside but I take her to the park so she could have new friends and meet new people and adventures

When we got to the park ava went to go play with her bestfriend oliva while I sat on the bench and read the fault in are stars

I just love the fault in are stars it's not just romantic it tells a story behind it like a message saying don't worry about dying just make the best of everyday of your life and thats what I'm doing because you don't no how much time you have so why don't make the best of everyday

I'm reading page 164 and its 270 pages so yeah I have a lot to go

My boyfriend and I-

Umm well my ex boyfriend watched the movie before I read the book but before I started reading the book he ran off and I don't know where he is I'm pretty sure he's moved on and I didn't tell ava because. A girl should think highly of her father

I felt a tap on my knee I looked up and it was a young boy with greenish brown eyes and curly brown hair

Hi I like your outfit
He said

I laughed

Well it's not much but thank you I like your two
I said smiling

Why is one of your eyes blue and the other one is green
He asked while switching my face from side to side

Well my mother had the exact same eyes and my daughter has the exact same eyes

Weres your daughter

She's over there in the blue

Wow she's pretty can I go play with her

Go ahead she's trying to make new friends anyway

He ran off to ava and I smiled than I noticed someone sat beside me I looked up and saw a dirty blonde guy he was staring at me

Why are you staring at me
I asked smileing while laughing

Because your beautiful

Wow.........I......

He asked sitting up smirking

It's just that you said that with no problem once so ever
I said looking in his eyes

Well that's because it's true

Well thank you
I said smiling

No that's my daughter she's twelve and I'm sixteen

I'm 17 i have a son you know the one you were talking to

Oh yeah him he's so nice and sweet

Yeah he's thirteen

I got up and was about to throw my candy rapper away but he stopped me

No no a beautiful girl shouldn't get up and throw trash away

Well that's a tough one for you because I really love to keep the world clean

Well let me help you

He got up and threw away the paper

I could've did it by myself
I said smiling

Like I said a beautiful girl shouldn't have to get up and throw trash away

I checked the time and it was 7:00

Well I gotta go because ava my daughter has school tomorrow and so do I so I-
