Unexpected

Chapter 27

I haven't seen Maya for about 2 weeks now. Last week the doctor finally released me, but I needed physical therapy 3 times a week now.

I had to go to the place I once called home it was painful to say the least. When I had first walked through the door I only saw images of that night. I wanted to walk away but that wasn't an option.

I walked upstairs everything was left in place. No one had been here because I could still hear water droplets coming from the facet in my bathroom.

It was all so unreal I walked into my parents room remembering sleeping in their bed with Maya having no clue that they were dead. I shook my head at myself and just sat on the steps of the stairs.

Today was the day I'd be making my debut in school. I'm pretty sure everyone knew about what happened news spreads fast because everybody talks.

I took a shower which now a days was a pretty complicated thing to do. Mainly because I had to work hard to not wet the stitches or they would loosen up and start flowing out blood like niagra falls.

I didn't care about how I looked honestly I barely brushed my hair and threw on what felt comfortable.

I grabbed my books, book bag, and keys I was on my way. When I closed the door to lock it I couldn't help but glance over at Maya's place.

Her car was parked in the drive-way maybe I should go over there I think she deserves that much, wait no maybe not today but tomorrow instead. I fought with myself mentally before I actually made a decision.

After putting my stuff in the car I made my way next door. I rang the door bell twice no answer so I decided to knock a few times still nothing.

I wasn't going to stand in front of her door knocking all day so I walked away. Right when I turned away I heard the door swing open.

As I turned around there she was standing in the door way the girl looked washed out. Her hair was untamed, eyes were blood shot, and she simply looked a mess.

I walked in and she closed the door locking it behind her. I couldn't help but notice the multiple locks and chains she had on the door it was safe to say that someone was a little scared.

I saw her enter some numbers into a security thingy I never understood those.

"I just wanted to talk Maya last time we saw eachother it wasn't so good."

I got no response just emotionless eyes staring at me

"Um okay I guess I'll be the only one talking then. Look Maya you have to understand what I been through after what happened with both Peyton and Ben I didn't know who to trust. So I needed sometime to myself to just figure things out you know get to a better place."

Still she just stared at me which was sort of creeping me out now

"Well are you going to say anything?"

her lips twitched but she just headed for the kitchen I followed close behind.

Everything was a mess clothes all around the living room, dishes piled up in the sink. You'd think that 6 other people lived here but no just one person accomplished making such a mess.

I just stared at her maybe I was being selfish just thinking about my needs I mean she went through a lot herself. Seeing me in the state that I was in couldn't have been easy for her. She was getting up everyday to come and be with me and I didn't show any apperciation instead I had shut her out.

I walked over to her and stared into her deep hazel eyes I could see that she wanted to look away but I wouldn't let her. I grabbed her hand and put my fingers through hers
