Wounded

Chapter Fifteen

"Maya? Are you sure you want to have dinner with Catherine?" You asked from the bedroom.
It had been three weeks since your accident, and you were ready to get out of the house. But nervous for a sit down dinner with your godmother.
"Yes Y/N. I want to get to know your family." Maya said walking into the bedroom.
"Damn. I don't think we're gonna make it to dinner." You said, putting your hands on her hips.
She wore the skin tight jeans you loved, and a low cut black shirt.
"Nope. One more week." She said tapping your hand.
"Ugh come on! I've been good." You said pouting.
"It's not about being good. It's about you healing correctly."
"Fine." You said crossing your arms.
"The second it turns four weeks since your accident and you get checked out, I promise I'll give it to you." She gave you a kiss on your forehead.

"Fine. We better go. Catherine will kill me if we're late." You stood up and grabbed your keys.
The two of you walked to your car, and you handed your keys to her.
You typed in the address for her, and she drove you to Catherine and Richard's house.

"Damn this house is beautiful." Maya muttered as she pulled up.
"Well, Catherine is... extra." You said getting out of the car.
You grabbed her hand, and walked inside the house.
"Catherine! Uncle Richard?" You said, your voice echoing through the huge house.
"In the kitchen dear." They heard Catherine say.
"C'mon." You led her to the kitchen, and saw Jackson, Catherine, and Richard standing there.
"Oh baby! I've missed your pretty face." Catherine said hugging you.
"I just saw you three weeks ago." You said laughing.
"That's too long."

"Uncle Richard, this is my girlfriend Maya. Maya, this is Richard. He works at Seattle Grace."
"Nice to meet you Sir." She said shaking his hand.
"You too. Y/N, why did I have to hear from Catherine that you were hurt?"
"Oh boy." Jackson said.
"I didn't want to bother you."
"You are never a bother to me." Richard said, squeezing your arm.

"That's enough of that talk. Everyone come eat dinner." Catherine said walking into the dining room.

A while later, they were all finished with dinner and sat around talking.

They heard the front door open and shut. "I'm sorry I'm late! There was terrible traffic." A woman with dark hair walked in.
"Mom? What are you doing here?" You asked.
"It's a family dinner. I'm family." She said sitting next to you.
You reached over and took Maya's hand, she could feel you shaking.
"Nice of you to join us." Catherine told her with a smile.
"Hi, I'm Y/N's mom. You must be her friend." Your mom said looking at Maya.
"Girlfriend." You corrected quietly.

"Oh really Y/N? You still haven't gotten out of that phase?"
"Kelly..." Richard warned.
"It's not a phase mom. If you bothered to hang around long enough you'd get that." You muttered, looking down at your lap.

"You know after everything I've done for you Y/N I'd think that I would've earned a little bit of respect. I fed and clothed you and put a roof over your head-"
"Oh well congratulations you did the bare necessities for a kid." You said with an attitude.
"I will not sit here and be spoken to like that." Your mom said angrily.

"Then just sit there. We're leaving. C'mon Maya." You stood up and grabbed Maya's hand.
"Richard, Catherine, Jackson, thank you for dinner. We'll have to do this again soon." You walked out of the living room with Maya behind you.
The two of you walked outside, and heard the door open behind you.

"You two are going to burn in hell! You are a worthless piece of shit Y/N and-" Your mom started to say.
Maya turned, and quickly got in your mom's face. "Shut up! Don't talk to her like that. You have five seconds to get back in that house, before I make it my life's mission to make your life a living hell."
Your mom stared at her angrily, and stormed back inside.

You got in the passenger side, and Maya the drivers.
She started the drive home, the two of you stayed silent the whole way there.

She pulled in the driveway, and put the car in park.
"Y/N..." she reached for your hand, but you got out of the car and walked to the front door.
She got out and followed you, unlocking the front door.
You silently walked to her bedroom, and got in bed.
She stood in the doorway of the room, looking at you.
"Y/N, are you okay?"
She could see your head shake back and forth.

Maya got into the bed with you, and held you close.
You let out the tears, bawling into Maya's chest.

"Shh it's okay. I got you." She whispered.

She gently started rubbing your back, singing in a whispered voice,
"It's like a storm
That cuts a path
It breaks your will
It feels like that

You think you're lost
But you're not lost on your own
You're not alone

I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
And you can't cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I won't let go

It hurts my heart
To see you cry
I know it's dark
This part of life
Oh it finds us all
And we're too small
To stop the rain
Oh but when it rains

I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
And you can't cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight

And I won't let you fall
Don't be afraid to fall
I'm right here to catch you
I won't let you down
It won't get you down
You're gonna make it
Yeah I know you can make it

Cause I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
And you can't cope
And I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I won't let go
Oh I'm gonna hold you
And I won't let go
Won't let you go
No I won't."

You sniffled and looked up at her, "Please, don't ever leave me."
"I'm not going anywhere Y/N. I promise." She kissed your forehead.
"My mom didn't scare you off?"
"Oh baby. An entire army couldn't scare me off from you." She said stroking your chin with her thumb.
"Thank you for sticking up for me. It's been a long time since anyones done that for me."

"I'd fight anyone for you. I'd run through a burning building for you. But I've already done that second one." Maya joked.
You laughed and wiped the tears from your face.
"Hey, don't let her get to you okay? I won't let anyone hurt you."
"I love you." You gave her a kiss.
"And I love you."
