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.All Rights Reserved

Before she can object, I carry on. 'Maya you are beautiful beyond perfection. You are strong. You are brave. You are funny. You are sweet. You are incredible. Look at yourself,' I nod down towards the scars on her arm and she slowly glances down at them before meeting my gaze again, 'those scars are beautiful. Do you know why?' I ask her. She wipes a tear from her already tear-stricken face before she shakes her head. 'Because every time you decided to do that to yourself, you didn't go further, you didn't end your life. You decided to carry on living even when you thought you couldn't manage it. Those scars right there,' I gesture to them again, 'show the battles you won against yourself. They are your battle-scars and you shouldn't be ashamed of them. And you know what? I am so proud of you for making it to where you are today because you are a fighter and If I can see that, anyone can.'

And he might just be able to save her from herself. Because he believes that he's been given a second chance to save someone like her for a reason. And he would make sure he saves her no matter what.
