"Why is it that I always come back to you?

•maya

The rain hits the outside of the windows in Lucas's apartment just as loud crashes of thunder vibrates the room.

I sat quietly on Lucas's bed brushing out my hair from the shower I had just taken.

It's pretty easy to tell that some how I've found a way to like Lucas. Maybe it's his smile or the way he makes me laugh. Whatever it is I'm glad that I have this feeling.

Lucas was still in the bathroom from the shower he had taken moments before the thunder and lighting began going off.

"Hey can I borrow some of your clothes?" I shouted to Lucas in the bathroom.

Lucas popped his head through the bathroom door, "You do know your apartment is right across the hall."

I pouted my lips, "Please you know I'm scared of storms."

Lucas rolled his eyes at me, "Fine. You can grab a pair of my sweatpants and one of my sweatshirts."

"Thank you," I smiled, "You're awesome."

Lucas ran back off into the bathroom and I quickly grabbed a pair of his sweatpants and threw on one of his long sleeve shirts. The shirt smelled just like him.

I jumped back up on Lucas's bed, "I'm dressed, you can back into the room."

The bathroom door opened and Lucas jumped up on the bed next to me. I laid on my side and Lucas turned on his side so we could face each other.

"Thanks for letting me stay over night," I said.

Lucas smiled at me, "I like having you over."

"I like being over," I replied.

Lucas let out a little yawn and rubbed his eyes.

"Go to sleep," I mumbled.

"Are you gonna be okay?"

"Yeah. I'll be okay, your still sitting down next to me. Jerry is also at the foot of your bed."

Lucas nodded his head before shutting his eyes. I laid down on my back trying to fall asleep to the sound of the rain hitting the window. But no matter how hard I tried to fall asleep it didn't work.

I threw off the covers and jumped out of the bed and walked out to the kitchen. I felt the strange urge to do the one thing that I hadn't done in forever.

I picked up the guitar that Farkle bought to impress Riley and began strumming the chords.

Loving can hurt
Loving can hurt sometimes
But it's the only thing
That I know

And when it gets hard
You know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And times are forever frozen still

So you can keep me
Inside the pocket
Of your ripped jeans
Holdin' me closer
Til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone
Wait for me to come home

Loving can heal
Loving can mend your soul
And is the only thing
That I know (know)
I swear it will get easier
Remember that with every piece of ya
And it's the only thing we take with us when we die

We keep this love in a photograph
We make these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Our hearts were never broken
And times forever frozen still
So you can keep me
Inside the pocket
Of your ripped jeans
Holdin' me closer
Till our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone

And if you hurt me
Well that's ok baby only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go

Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home

Oh you can fit me
Inside the necklace you got when you were 16
Next to your heartbeat
Where I should be
Keep it deep within your soul

And if you hurt me
Well that's ok baby only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go

When I'm away
I will remember how you kissed me
Under the lamppost
Back on 6th street
Hearing you whisper through the phone
Wait for me to come home

"Sometimes I forget how amazing your voice is."

I jumped at the sound of Lucas talking. Lucas sat down next to me and put his hand on my leg.

"I thought you were sleeping," I said.

Lucas laughed, "Surprisingly it's very hard to sleep when someone is singing."

"Sorry," I sarcastically said.

"It's cool. I've wanting to hear you sing for a while now."

"You've heard me sing before though."

"I've heard Maya Hart the famous popstar sing. All I want is to hear Maya sing."

I mumbled, "I love this song."

"Me too," He agreed.

I drew circles in the palm of Lucas' hand as I started thinking.

"What are you doing?" Lucas asked.

"Just thinking."

About us. About how I like you. About how I really like you.

"Maybe you should do a little less thinking."

I leaned over and kissed his lips gently. My arms found his neck and his arms found my waist, like all our other kisses before. Our lips moved together perfectly in sync filling the void that I've carried for so long.

I reluctantly pulled out of kiss after sometime.

"Lucas I need you to know that I like you. I really really like you."

"I really like you too."

"Good."

"Maya will you go on a date with me."

"Of course."

What would you do if I just ended Empty right there?

Just kidding.

There is still so much more that needs to happen before this ends. Hope that's okay with you guys.

Does anyone know if Maya has a middle name? If not what should her middle name be?

Also who doesn't love Ed Sheeran's photograph
