Maya couldn't sleep. She'd never been a heavy sleeper, anyway. But she'd rarely actually had a hard time getting to sleep before now. She wasn't sure what it was. A new school year in this place, maybe. Or the fact that she was a little older, and having more grown up thoughts. And a boyfriend who made her feel things she didn't know she could feel, and now Lucas was here too and she had feelings for him, and she worried about Riley having feelings for him. Lucas was a good guy, though, for the most part, but Maya wasn't sure she trusted him with Riley's heart. She wouldn't trust anyone with Riley's heart, though so that was hardly personal.
She sighed and slipped out of bed. She texted Shawn's phone to let him know she was going to the park, so he wouldn't worry when he woke up and she wasn't there. She grabbed her guitar and headed out, found herself a quiet spot to sit and strum. She wished she'd brought a notebook so she could write out her thoughts, but she hadn't. That just left her the option to sing what she was feeling.
The words came with little difficulty. She had a few false starts, and couple stumbles along the way, but she kept at it until the words flowed like water. And she sang.
