"Okay, you all need to stop treating me like I'm the bad guy," Michelle says bluntly. "Of course I wanted to call you, but you didn't want anything to do with Maya, how am I supposed to know you would actually come?"
"You could've tried, especially when you found out about her amnesia."
"Well, she doesn't believe in my amnesia," I scoff.
Andy opens her mouth in surprise and Michelle shakes her head.
"I'm sorry, Maya," Michelle softens her tone. "I didn't mean that, it's just too much."
"It's fine," I say at last. "I'm sorry too, you have been here the whole time and I appreciate it."
Michelle throws herself at me and hugs me, I look back at Andy and she just rolls her eyes. I pat Michelle's back and when she pulls away, I see Carina walking towards us holding Michael's hand.
"Hi Michael!" Michelle says in a higher tone as she waves at Andy's kid.
Michael hides behind Carina, not really wanting anything to do with Michelle.
"Um, we have to get going," Andy stands up from the bench and looks at me.
"Thank you for coming Andy," I offer her a smile.
"Say bye to Auntie Maya," Carina gives a little nudge to Michael.
"Ba, bye," Michael waves his little hand at me.
"It was nice to meet you, Michael," I wave back at him and smile.
My little interaction with Michael makes Carina smile, but as soon as she looks back at me, her smiles fades because Michelle is now stroking my arm. Carina turns to Andy and after saying goodbye to Michael she turns back to Michelle and I.
"She needs to get back to her room," Carina strongly says to Michelle.
"It's okay, I got it," Michelle says, holding the handlebars of the wheelchair.
Michelle pushes the wheelchair and starts walking.
"But," I say looking back at Carina who is shaking her head.
Carina passes her hand through her hair and I see her mumbling something, but I can't hear her anymore.
"Why did you do that?" I ask to Michelle.
"Did what?" Michelle asks innocently while she pushes the wheelchair inside the hospital.
"Carina was just standing there," I harshly say.
"Maya, she's done a lot already, and please don't take this the wrong way, but I think you're asking too much of her. You are not together anymore," Michelle says calmly. "That's got to be really tough for her. But if you want I can turn around."
"Just take me to my room," I say defeated.

Today I'm finally getting out of here. I'm getting out of the bathroom, I just showered and I'm ready to start looking for all the answers that here are impossible to get. As I'm walking to the chair to sit and wait for Carina and Amelia to come back and tell me I can leave, I hear some voices. Although I'm not sure what they are saying I get closer to the door and I hear Amelia and Carina talking.
"Does Pablo know Maya is going to stay at your place?" Amelia tries to whisper.
"He offered me to stay at his place, but I can't do that," Carina answers.
"So, can you do this? With Maya?"
"You also think it's a terrible idea?" Carina asks anxiously.
