Riley has gotten a lot better she gets out of bed, showers, eats but doesn't go out of the house. Maya brings home her class work, it's the only thing that keeps Riley sane. Today is the October 8th which means 1 month ago the baby died. Everyone was at the table eating talking having a good morning not expecting what was about to happen. Riley walks into the kitchen grabs some food and sits down, everyone stares at her.
"What just because a month ago today I lost my daughter and I can't act like a normal person" Riley asks
"Um yeah, because just a week ago you were picking rice crispy treats out of your hair and smelled like something that came out of Lucas's gym back" Zay says
"Well I've gotten to grieve and deal so now I'm going to go to the mall and look for something to wear for Halloween which is coming up" Riley says
"Ok well good luck and I'll be in the shower" Maya says then leaves the room.
--------
Riley got home from the mall and went to put her things in her room. She gets in there and sees Zay in the baby room taking something off the wall.
"What the hell are you doing!?" Riley yells
"Maya said that this would be good for you"
"Maya doesn't know what's good for me now put that down and get the hell out of my room!" Zay puts down the picture down and leaves

Maya's POV
I was doing my home work on my bed while Lucas sat by me watching tv when Riley came through the door
"Where do you get the right to tell Zay to take all of the baby stuff out of the room! I'll tell you, you don't have the right! So don't. I just want everyone to leave me alone! Can you do that? If you can't you can live somewhere else!" She tells then goes back to her room. I gets off my bed and walk to the kitchen Lucas follows
No ones POV
"Maya what are you doing?" Lucas asks as Maya grabs boxes from the closet. She goes upstairs to Riley's room barging through the door now with all the boys following. She opens one box and starts to put some of Riley's clothes in it
"What the hell are you doing!?" Riley yells and Maya stops
"Where do you get the right to barge in my room and ask me where I get the right to help you out?! And tell me either to leave you alone or move out! Because if you haven't noticed you are not the only person who lives here and is not the only person who pays rent! In fact you haven't paid a damn thing in a month! I get it your sad, your pissed at the world and you want someone to blame but there's just no one to blame. All I've been doing is trying to help and the only thing you've done it make everyone feel like shit. So you can either say thank you or leave" Maya says then just stares at Riley. The boys stand in the doorway not knowing what to say. Then the unexpected happens. Riley goes up to Maya and hugs her. All she needed was someone to yell at her and leave it to Maya to do it.
