Unexpected

Chapter 26

The flashback only brought tears to my eyes. Someone wanted me dead and not just anyone but Peyton. That's what hurt the most and finally I learned who had killed my best friend and it just made things worst. I had just endured the same pain and confusion Jessica must have felt in those last hours of her life.

God knows how much I wanted to know who had killed Jess, but if given the choice of not knowing just so none of this would have happened I wouldn't want to know.

"Hey are you okay? I can come back again?"

I almost forgot that Maya was sitting right here next to me her voice shook me out of my thoughts.

"Wait, what?"

"I said if you want I can come back another time"

"No, no please stay right now your the only person I have."

She didn't say anything she just nodded her head and smiled.

Its been a month since I've been in the hospital I needed surgery on my spine and the stab wounds kept opening regardless of the stitches that I had. I reframed from feeling miserble for myself what was the point in that.

The doctors still didn't know who was the mysterious person that brought me to the ER and the police heard no sign of Peyton or her little pathetic helpers. Including Ben or whoever he really was.

I had missed 2 months of my senior year. At least school was something to look forward to when I get out of the hospital.

I got out of bed slowly my back ached and I had to hold my stomach to walk. The doctor said I may need a wheelchair for 2 weeks when I'm discharged. I took baby steps lifting one leg at time attempting to make it to the bathroom.

After what seemed liked an hour I finally made it. I walked over to the mirror hardly recognizing who I was. I mean I know its been awhile since I'v gotten a good look at myself but I was no longer Eva.

I had become someone else with scars to prove it. My face was flushed I didn't look human. My hair looked like I had just stuck a pin into a plug. My eyes were worst you could see sorrow, pain, & anger in them.

I had lost my parents and nearly died myself. Only Maya was here for me but it was hard for me to even trust her. I had just been assaulted by someone I knew for years so why should I trust someone who I barely knew.

It was all so complicated I didn't want to look at myself anymore it just made me sick.

After using the restroom I walked back to the bed. I saw Maya she was in the room sitting on the chair watching the t.v.

I didn't say anything to her I just got back into bed. I guess she understood she gave me a quick smile and went back to watching t.v.

We sat there in silence for quite sometime with only the noise coming from the television. I decided to turn it off when the screen went black she turned facing me.

"Maya look I apperciate you being here for me I really do, but I just can't be around you right now its too painful"

She didn't say anything to me instead she got up and walked away.
