Chapter 18: Memories

Tw: Drugs! Bad interaction with father (if that can trigger anyone), mention of abuse, anxiety attack. If any of those trigger you just skip the flashback. Have a good reading. If anything else can trigger someone in this chapter that I haven't thought of let me know I'll put it here. 

Maya's pov:

We arrived at the police station they putted Hailee and I in the same cell. We were waiting until a guy came to the cell. My heart was pounding, my breath was going away, what if he looked into my criminal record? Yeah I have one. I did some things back in the days, because of my father actually. 

Cop: So Hailee Julia Ledger, you have never been in a police station, never got in trouble, you don't have any record. You have a warning. But you won't have any record.

Hailee: Really?!

Cop: Yes. And you Maya Florence Coleman, you are the opposite of your friend, you-

Me: Don't say. 

Cop: Oh your little friend don't know? Okay. Anyway you won't have this on your record. We're nice. It can happen once not twice. 

He went away. I was actually relieved that he respected my wish to not tell her anything. I looked at Hailee who was staring at me with anger and frustration in her eyes.

Hailee: What did you do?

Me: Nothing too serious. 

Hailee: Tell me.

Me: No it's nothing.

Hailee: You always do that! If we're gonna continue to be friends you need to tell me things! You are not alone for god sakes! Fuck I'm here. I'm here. It's not because I'm a fucking idiot that I'm here! If you told me I would've stopped you! Fuck you wouldn't have been to the hospital! I was such an idiot that I couldn't see that! I'm...

I took her in my arms but she pushed me away. She putted herself against the wall, her back facing me. She was sobbing. She was sobbing really hardly.

Me: I'm sorry...

Hailee: It's not your fault...

Me: It is. I am sorry. I won't push you away. You are not an idiot and you are not a pathetic friend Hailee. You are not. I did not tell you, how did you want to know? You're not psychic Hailee. But no more lies okay? 

Hailee: Okay...I kinda...I kinda want that hug now.

I went towards her, she hugged me really tightly. She needed that hug. She needed me and I was glad she did. I was not totally worthless. She got out of the hug a small smile on her face. She dried her tears then looked at me.

Hailee: So what happened?

Me: Oh...

*flashback*

Dad: MAYA! COME HERE YOU LITTLE BITCH!

Me: What dad?

I was afraid of him, one time he was really angry due to drugs, he took a swing at me. It wasn't bad just a few kicks and punches. He looked at me, his eyes were red, he nose was bleeding, he looked sick. I looked over his shoulders, all kinds of drugs were on the kitchen table. It's been a few month since my mom went on a work trip, their relationship was as stable as the Titanic. 

Dad: I got a guy coming. I owe him money, so I can't talk to him. You will go for me. Tell him to come back later. 

I went outside waiting for him. He arrived with 5 guys, looking at me all confused.

?: Where's yo father?

Me: He doesn't have the money, come back later. 

?: No no no, that's not how it works. I give him the stuff he give me the money.
