You never think the last time is the last. The last time to hug someone to tell them you love them, you never think it's actually the last. You think you have forever but you don't.
Maya Ayad had to learn that lesson the hard way. As she powers through her life, she can't help but feel dead inside, or to be honest actually dead. Maya has the golden ticket opportunity that wasn't given to many of her friends : learn to navigate without the people that cared for you the most.
She could tell you it wasn't fun.

The Sun And The Stars •completed•
Audrey Kepler wants to breathe, to run, to live. It should be a given, after all, a gift everyone receives at birth. The day she gets on the bus is the day she finally admits to herself that being alive and living are two separate things. And Audrey wants to live. When she meets Eli Davis, a mysterious, quiet, and timid boy, she assumes that they are opposites. But, they are more similar than she could have ever imagined. Eli wants to live, he thinks. He at least wants to taste what it's like before he decides. She was the sun; warm, bright, radiant, and full of the purest light. He was the stars; distant and scarce, yet fascinating and effervescent if you took the time to look closely enough. They seem so different at first glance, the sun and the stars, but they are just alike.Complete
