Rebel Friar

CHAPTER 14

"Will he be okay?" Asked Lucas's mother. Maya and Riley sat beside each other squeezing their hands together. Maya was hurt but didn't feel the need to cry, she knew it would make matters worse.

        "Well, we have some bad news, you see your son was hit to his skull and his skull has a crack." Everyone listened closer. "I am sorry but it would be a miracle if your son ever woke up from his coma." His mother fell into his father's arms. All she could do was cry. "We call it a compound fracture. It's when the skin is open and reaches the skull.'' Soon as Maya heard it she ran off once again. She ran to the stairs between the eating disorders. While sitting on the stairs trying her best not to cry a girl with skinny legs and small arms walked up to her. The girl had orange hair and freckles, she was wearing pink short shorts, green tank top with a pink jacket over it that said:PINK. She was also wearing black tights and green flats. Her hair was straight and long. 

        ''Why are you crying? Oh wait, this is a hospital the only thing you ask somebody is why aren't you crying. Well, whatever it is death, weighing,diagnosis, illness, whatever. I am here for you." She said.

        "Sorry but I just want to be alone right now." Maya exclaimed. 

        "Of course you want to be alone, or else you wouldn't here. You want to be alone but you don't want to be alone."

        'What?''

        "You want somebody with you but you just like everyone hates you so you ran off trying to find your own, inner, friend. But instead you found me."

        "Who are you?"

        "Laura Bowie."

        "Hi Laura, I'm Maya Hart."

        "Hello Maya, I see you were sad. So what was it?"

        Maya exlained everything that was happening with her life, Joshua, Lucas, Riley, school, and everything else. 

        "Wow, you life seems horrbile. I don't see how you got through that. Your so strong."

        ''Yeah, well I think I give up."

        "No,don't you have to keep fighting. Friends are friends. Maybe everything is not what it seems. I mean I thought my best friend was dating my boyfriend but it turned out that she wasn't. My other friend was. I guess that goes to show that thinking isn't knnwing. So before you go and blame you best friend you should get BOTH sides of the story. And she is really your best friend, in the end it will all be fine. I promise." Laura said walking back down to the anorexic halls. But before she left...

        "Wait! What if you saw it yourself?"

        "Trust me." 

        "But-" Laura had already left before Maya finished. Then Topanga opened the door and took Maya back to the place they were sitting. Everyone looked saw Maya wasn't crying. 

        "Is everything okay?" Asked the doctor.

        "Yeah, I just got done having a great conversation with a irl named Laura Bowie." Maya said.

        The doctor looked at her as if she had a head growing on the side of her neck. 

        "Laura Bowie? There is no Laura Bowie here anymore. She died 5 years ago."

        "But I  jsut saw her she was anorexic and..-"

        "I am sorry but she died of suicide. You may have been talking another person."

        Maya knew she was right. Did they think she was dumb or something. Then when Maya looked to the side she saw Laura smiling. Maya smiled back and Laura's body disappeared slowly.
