"Mr. Matthews is in a coma. It doesn't look like he'll be coming out of it for a while. He has a malaria episode, and he hit his head. Concussion. He had a concussion and won't be waking up for... Well, we're not sure how long it'll be." She looks nice, but I've never wanted to strangle someone more in my life.
"Oh." I squeak and look at the floor. "Oh." My eyes fill with tears, and they threaten to spill over. I pick up my phone and the doctor walks away. I text our group chat.
I press send on my phone, and put it down. I wipe my tears away with my sleeve and sniffle.
"It's- It's been a while."
"It sure has."
"Well... Boy, you grew up gorgeous."
"You are not going to be my aunt."
"I can't hear you, I can't hear you."
"Maya!" I snap out of my daze to see Riley, Lucas, Zay, Farkle, and Smackle running toward me. I burst into a new river of fresh tears and Riley slides into the seat next to me, hugging me tightly. "Oh, Peaches. It'll be okay." She says, and I nod.
"Riley... There was a girl there. Before. I saw a... a pink thing." I say, looking at Lucas, Farkle and Zay awkwardly.
"Was it a bra?" Riley asks, and I close my eyes and nod.
"Riley, I want to hate him, I really do, but I can't!" I sob, and Lucas sits next to me and pats my back. "I'm so upset with him, but when I look at him I just... I hate him for doing this, and I don't know how I feel. I'm just so confused, I can't!" I say, and I stand up, running towards the front entrance, leaving everyone behind. I hear Riley stand up, but Lucas tells her to leave me. Thank you, Lucas. I run outside, and sit down on a bench, sobbing out a river of fresh tears.
"Boing."
"Ha, that's my uncle, Maya."
"Sweet, I would be your aunt."
I leave the hospital on my bike and pedal back to Lucas' apartment, running up the building stairs, and into his place. I go to the kitchen and grab a stick of chocolate, then dart to my room slamming the door behind me. I lay on my bed, tears rolling down my eyes, while I bite into the chocolate bar. I put in my headphones and listen to my playlist. The playlist Josh made for me. I turn the volume up, and close my eyes, chewing slowly on the chocolate.
"Maya?"
"Peaches, you in here?" I open my eyes, realizing that I must have fallen asleep. I hear Riley call out for me, and I get up, sitting on the edge of my bed. I suddenly feel my stomach lurch, and I push my door open, running to the bathroom.
"May- Maya! What's wrong?" I throw my head over the toilet as my stomach empties itself. Lucas comes, in and looks at me in shock. After a moment, he gets down and pats me on the back.
"Maya!" Riley runs in and sees me be the toilet. "Maya, what happened?" She asks, and I give her a weak shrug. "Oh my god, you're so pale." She says, and I run my face, trying to her up, but sitting back down as my head started spinning as I got up. Riley puts some water on a cloth, and wipes my face, and then Lucas carries me into my room, and Riley tucks me in and sits with me.
"Maya, Josh is going to be okay." She says, and tears spill out of my eyes.
"I know. But I just... I don't want to see him. I don't want to see him for a long time." I sigh. "Riley, I think he's broken my heart. He's broken the heart of a Hart." I say, with a weak laugh. Riley nods, not smiling and gets up.
"I know, Maya. I know." She says, patting my head, and walking out, closing the door behind her. I hear her a Lucas talking, but I can't make out their words. The muffled noise drills into my brain, making it fall asleep. I drift off into a deep sleep.
"Josh, you've broken my heart," I whisper, before letting my mind take over.
