Life and love of hurricanes- sequel to Six drawings (gmw)

Changes

Riley held Maya's hand during dinner for support. It was helping. She could. Slowly but surly, she ate some of what was on her plate.
There were no more knifes there and any medicine was hidden but Maya was miserable and it killed them to watch her like that. Silent, always tired, eating the minimum, and staring off all of the time. They saw her effort, but it barely stood any chance against her depression. She rarely came around, feeling bad about being so difficult. Cory stopped letting her leave and eventually started asking her to stay in the room. She mostly slept whether it was on the couch in Topanga's office, the couch in the living room, or occasionally the lunch table. Cory didn't blame her. Her soul was restless with her mind and in the nights that he woke up around three, he would follow her quiet singing to the fire escape. He put a lock on the window but Maya did not sleep. It became a ritual for him to wake up, check on her without or knowing, and going back to sleep. No matter what Riley did to alter her sleeping schedule by keeping her up during the day, it didn't work. Instead, she fainted on the third day of her attempt. But then somethings started to change. Ever so slowly, life began to seep into her sullen blank eyes just a bit, and little actions like adjusting things that were out of place or playing with Riley's bracelet began to appear, followed by slight smile. Cory checked her journal everyday without her knowing but one day, as he slipped it out, she caught him.
"I just-"
"It's okay."
"Sorry."
"No. I've only written one thing since." She noticed her voice not as flat and her eyes reaching his. He placed the journal in her hands. Riley stood up.
"Will you read it?" Maya bit her lip and opened it.
"Days are long. Nights are the longest, and I rarely sleep at the right time, eat everything on my plate, or smile more then just a bit, but from where I was, this is so different. I can't get thrown back into this hurricane of my life because I'm already in it. And with these people besides me, I know I'm not just going to live in it, but love it."
