"Ow." Fleur winced as she fell against the door, not use to walking with crutches at all. As if that wasn't bad enough, the door was pulled open, and Fleur fell to the ground. "Ow!"
"Shit." Johnny lifted her by the arms. "Lean on the wall."
"I got here as soon as I could." Fleur made eye contact with Miguel, leaning on the wall while Johnny got her crutches for her. "Which, isn't very fast, because I kept falling. But i'm here."
Miguel gave a sad smile, shutting his eyes. "Thanks, Fleur."
"So, you don't seem broken." she held the crutches again, coming off the wall. "What happened?"
"A sprain at the most." Miguel shook his head, Fleur glanced toward Yaya and Carmen. "Can we have a minute?"
"Yeah, sorry, I can l-" Fleur began.
"No, not you." he stopped her, looking to the trio of adults. "Just a second."
"Of course, Miggy." Carmen gave a small smile. "Just right outside."
Johnny looked slightly alarmed as he left the two, Fleur hobbled over toward Miguel. "Any advice now that i'm pretty much paralyzed?"
Miguel cracked a grin as she now leaned on the bench he was sat on. "Eat a lot."
"That's something I specialize in." she nodded, eyeing him. "What's going on?"
"Can I ask you something?" Miguel looked her way, whispering almost.
"Anything." Fleur nodded her head.
"I don't know the entire story, but I know you left your dad, right?" Miguel asked, because unlike Moon, Eli, Demetri, and Johnny, not everyone knew all the details about Fleurs life before. "When you came here?"
"I ran away." Fleur nodded her head. "Why? Did something happen with your mom?"
"Do you ever regret it? Like, did you ever really know him?" Miguel didn't realize he was pushing it, because he didn't know. Fleur blinked slightly, staring back at Miguel. He sensed the change in her face. "Sorry, it's not-"
"I knew my dad. I didn't know my mom well." Fleur cut him off with a small shake of her head, inhaling. "She was obsessed with her job and we never really had a relationship. But, you know, she's still my mom."
Miguel nodded understandably . "Do you think about her?"
"Sure. But, i'm mainly just really angry." she swallowed slightly. "Probably because that's all I really know how to feel most of the time."
Miguel scanned Fleurs face. "Do you wish you had known her?"
"More then anything." Fleur admitted with a sad smile. "You know, I see how Amanda is with Sam, or Moon is with her mom, Demetri and his moms, and even you and Carmen. I just wish I could have had that with her. Like, maybe some things that happened wouldn't have happened if I had her."
