Maya's P.O.V.
Like I said, he was an angel, a god, a knight in shining armor, someone I would gladly BE with if I got the chance. He said "So... are you gonna stare all day, or are you going to give me an answer"? I push through my imagination of all the things he could do to me and all the things I could do to him and respond with a shrug of my shoulders and say, " I wouldn't mind staring a little longer...". I realize what just came out of my mouth... even though it's true... and instantly say "I'm sorry, I meant to say that in my head... not that it's true I- I- I mean we- well not that it's not true, bu- but. " What's your name"? he asked. "Maya, and you"? he responded with a quick " Cole. So what's the answer? " To what? I remember and blurt, Oh... just having a rough time with the family. I say standing up, he stares at my neck, I grasp at my neck feeling for my scarf that I put on to hide the wounds that my mother so carefully placed last night and start to walk away but before I can do anything Cole grabs my arms and pulls up my sleeve revealing the scar my dad gave years ago... I stutter " I- I Ple- Please". He looks up at me and he just pulls me into his arms and without any hesitation I sink into his arms and start crying, feeling so relieved, yet scared that somebody finally knew.
