Maya's POV 

I sat up a while longer, peering out the window. I tried counting the stars in the sky, but there were too many to even fathom. 

I looked back over at Zay and my heart grew sad. First of all, I was sad that it wasn't Zay that I was in love with. That would've been so much easier. Out friendship always came so easily and he was so kind-hearted and funny. I just felt like if I was with Zay I wouldn't be this broken. 

But I knew Zay and I weren't meant to be more than friends. We never were. And I think by now, we both understand that, hopefully.

 I turned my back to Zay and faced the window. I pulled the blanket tight around me so that I was warm and snuggly. My eyes began to hold a heavy weight. So I closed my eyes again and prayed for some clarity and strength until I fell asleep.
