Is It True That Love Lasts(maya Hart

INTRODUCTION

Hi there Maya here I'm a sixteen year old model dancer and singer I live in Chicago windy city at least that's what
I call it I love it here I can't think of any place more beautiful and humble
And I know what your gonna say

Chicago is not humble it's full of violence and crime I wouldn't live there ever.....but your missing the good part do you even hear yourself every place has a bad side you just have to make it positive

And that's what I've been doing for the past nine years every since my dad left me and my mom when I was
Seven years old I still cry my eyes out about it and I still miss him but I try not to think to much about it or if I do I would be having a mental break down right now but I just try to stay positive and not to think about it that much

Right now I'm at home

In my bedroom

Drawing sitting in my desk top when my mom comes through the door and sits on my bed she pats the spot next to her I put down my pencil and color pencils and sat next to her and smiled

What is it mom. I asked as I was starting to get worried

Umm baby girl....You know that I've been doing all kinds of business trips and on one of my trips I went to new York and met a guy named shawn shawn Hunter and we've been talking for almost two years now and last week I went back to new York and he proposed so what I'm saying is......baby girl...........we're moving to new York

I can't believe this is she seriously doing this to me everything I love always had to be taken away from me

But mom I love Chicago you even said that you love Chicago this is where I was born this is where I grew up for crying out loud I have so many memories here my whole life is here

Sweetie sometimes you have to make sacrifices for love Maya we need help I can't keep taking care of you on my own Maya ever since your father-

Mom don't bring dad into this...he didn't do anything wrong

Your right Maya he didn't but...I still need help with you Maya you are a freshman in high school soon enough you'll be going to college and I can't pay for that on my own....maya for crying out loud I work at a nighthawk diner that only pays 10 dollars every Friday and every time I get paid I have to spend that on food or clothes for you and for myself or for the house and child support Maya I've been getting calls from my child support lawyer Maya....if I keep getting behind on paying baby girl their gonna take you away from me Maya and I can't loose you to I just can't

She started crying and I hugged her and cried to, I can't believe I did this to her I made her cry my own mother just because she wanted what's best for me and I made her cry

Okay mom if that's what we need right now and if this shawn guy makes you happy and if you want to marry him than......I don't care lets move to new York...as long as your happy I'm happy

That was so true if my mom was happy about anything than I would be happy to I don't know it's just this special bond we have every time I see her smile I smile it just makes me so happy that Shes happy and if she's happy than that's all I need

Really....thank you so much baby girl tomorrow morning when you get home from school start packing because were leaving the day right after that Okay

Okay mom I love you

I love you to sweetie

We hugged again than she left out, I was happy for my mom that she found true love but I was also scared and sad about this whole situation

What if this guy doesn't even really love my mom what if he doesn't even want to marry her what if when they do get married and he becomes my step dad he leaves us to because the only thing he wants is sex this is gonna end up just like my biological father he left my mom right after he had sex with him and she told him that she was pregnant he left like he was flash

But I can't do that I can't expect every guy that my mom runs into or every guy that I run into to be just like my father I can't do that it's just wrong you know some guys are different and some are the Same but you just have to be Careful and just give people chances before the chances are gone

I grabbed my sletchbook and pencils I put them in my bookbag and zipped it I got some pajamas got in the shower brushed my teeth and washed my hair I also shaved my legs arms and private part than I changed into my pajamas and walked out of my bathroom, I turned on my tv because to be honest I cannot sleep without the tv I can't even go one day without a tv anyway I turned on the tv and k.c undercover was on I love this show

I walked over to my window and turned on the air conditioner I mean like come on who can sleep with hot air I know I can't, I turned to my bed got in it and turned of my light that was right above my bed I was dozing off and was about to go to sleep when my room door opened and I saw my mom

Goodnight baby girl I love you with all my heart

I love you to mom goodnight

She smiled and closed my door and when she did I finally fell asleep
