I'll see you again-Marina [ON HOLD]

Chapter 6

*TW mentioning of SH and ED (I am gonna mention when as usual)*

She heard every single word the Italian mother-daughter duo said, but she remains with her eyes closed, scared that they realize that the blonde wasn't asleep anymore.

Maya's pov:

I pretend to wake up after a few minutes, laying there, pretending to sleep.. Carina holds my hand since she admitted that she likes me and I had to try and not crack a smile. It's cute and I totally adore that. How she caresses the back of my hand with her thumb.

Carina's pov:

I caress her hand with my thumb. It calms me down, feeling her touch and seeing her chest rise and fall as she takes one breath after another.

As Maya starts to stir I make a move to take my hand away from her very bruised one but she doesn't let mine go.

The blonde opens her eyes and gets confronted by Carina's soft, calming ones, watching her every move. They smile, getting lost in each others eyes. A silly grin plastered on Maya's face, that wears of as soon as she starts feeling the pain again. She grips Carina's Hand tightly and clenches her Jaw to try and muffle the screams of pain.

"MOM" Carina yells.

A few seconds later, Lucia appears in the door and rushes over to the blonde to give her some medicine to ease her pain, while Carina breathes with her, trying to already ease the pain a little bit.

After a few minutes, Maya's breath goes back to normal and Lucia speaks up.

"Hello Maya..." Lucia smiles a little "So I gave you some medication to ease the pain" She sits down on the gurney and lays her hand on Maya's leg, on a part that is not plastered with wrapped up, bloody cuts. "I think sooner or later we have to talk about this...you know?"

Maya tries to look away. "Hey Maya it's okay..." Carina starts caressing Maya's hand again. "We just want to help you Bambina...okay?" Maya nods but still avoids eye contact.

"M...my...my dad...h...he" Maya breaks down in tears and Carina's heart scatters in thousands of pieces. The younger Italian pulls her up and scoops her Into her arms, carefully not to hurt her. Maya nuzzles her nose into Carina's neck in order to calm herself down. Carina's scent is calming her down slowly. After a few minutes the cries of the blonde turn into quiet whimpers and sobs. She pulls away and Carina wipes her tear stained cheeks with her thumb and lays the runner back onto the gurney. Lucia watches the scene in front of her in awe but her heart also shatters from seeing this young woman so vulnerable and sad. Maya clinges to the younger Italians Hand and starts talking again, the lump in her throat almost disappeared. "My dad is just... I can't do this anymore... I am exhausted and tired. I want to live like a normal teenager of our age..." she swallows hard before continuing. "I am doing that since I was twelve...I never had someone to talk to who wouldn't judge me. My mom is scared of my dad because of his rages so she can't do anything ether. My brother is mostly at his girlfriends house so he doesn't even notice everything that is going on that much. Everyone thinks I am happy because of my success but it's not that easy... with that the blonde finishes her story and wipes away some tears.

Lucia looks at Carina and motions with her head to the door. "Carina, could we talk for a second?"Lucia asks softly. "Of course, only if you're comfortable alone here for a second, Maya" Lucia looks at Maya with an unsure look on her face.

"Yeah...yeah... of course mrs. DeLuca..... I already brought you enough distraction" Maya says, looking unsure at the ground. "Oh Bambina, you can call me Lucia and you aren't a distraction at all! Okay sweetie?" "O...okay" Maya smiles shy. "We'll be back in a minute" And with that, Carina and her mom are out of the door.

"I think we should take her in..." Lucia blurts out,

"W...what? What do you mean?" Carina asks

"I meant it the way I said it."

"Are you sure Mamma?" Carina asks unsure but kinda happy at the same time,

"Yes. We can help her and she is safe with us, but only if you are okay with it of course." Lucia states.

"Yes of course! What a question!? We can't leave her in that household... we can see what happened with her living with her parents."

"Exactly, maybe she will need therapy or meds or..."

"Or maybe we start with meals everyday and sleeping longer than till 3:30 am?" Carina interrupts sarcastically.

"You know what I mean, Carina... but you're absolutely right, should I ask her

or you?" The older Italian asks.

"I'll do it, okay?"

"Sí"

The young woman makes her way back in the room and sits back on Maya's bedside.

"Is it okay if I sit here?"

"Yes, of course...thank you..." the blonde grabs the hand of the Italian again, "My mom had an Idea...only if you are comfortable with it and only if you would like t..."

"Spit it out Carina" Maya chuckles softly.

"We would like to take you in... you can't keep living under these circumstances. We can all see what it did to you..."

"I can't ask you to do that, I..."

"No you don't because we did, we want you to stay with us... we want to help you..." Carina interrupts the blonde.

"Are you sure? I mean you already saved my life" Maya chuckles nervously

"Totally sure!"
