Texas Shadows

Chapter 21

RILEY'S POV

I walked back with Farkle hoping to find Maya. Through the window I saw her laying by his side. She had fallen asleep again. I nodded at Farkle and he went in to get her. I followed behind him.

Farkle shook at Maya's arms and she jolted awake. "Maya I know you want to stay but you need some good sleep, at home." She didn't move. "The doctor said the chances of him waking up during the night are slim, let me take you home." Farkle explained extending his hand out.

"Carry me." She moved her head and there was a small line of blood dripping from her eye. "I'm not strong enough, We just have to get you home." She nodded and walked out. I looked at him laying there at an odd angle. "I'll be out in a minute."

I sat down in the chair. His hands were cold. "I'm not sure if you can hear me, but i'll take a shot. She needs you right now, man. I have seen her pretty low and so have you, but this is nothing like it. Shes a mess. I just need you awake." I got up and kissed his forehead before I walked out.

MAYA'S POV

I woke up in my bed, my cheeks were dry and sticky from the tears of last night. My hair was a mess and my clothes were nasty. I went to take a shower, wishing Lucas was awake the entire time.

When I went back downstairs Riley was telling Smackle and Zay what had happened. Riley looked upset telling the story but Farkle was beside her. When they saw me walk into the kitchen they all went silent. Smackle ran over with teary eyes and hugged me. "I'm so sorry Maya." Zay just looked at me with pity in his eyes. "I just want to see him."

The car ride was silent, I was hoping it wouldn't be. I turned on the radio to hear my favorite song 'All We Have Is Love'. I turned to look out the window, silently a tear rolled down my recently moisturized cheeks. I started biting the left side of my lip.

He hadn't moved since last night. He was still in that ugly ass hospital gown. He still had cuts and bruises all over his face. He wasn't awake.

I sat in the hallway with Riley and Farkle while Smackle and Zay were "talking" to him. I wonder what hes thinking about, or if he is at all. Riley broke the much-needed silence.

"Maya I think we are gonna head home, Farkle and I are moving into my bedroom." She looked excited and I didn't want to ruin it. "Have fun." I nodded. Soon after Smackle and Zay decided to go out for lunch.

The room was silent and had a depressing glow. There was a small counter with a sink in the corner, cabinets above. The tv was mounted in the opposite corner of the room. Straight across from the bed was a small bathroom. It was like a prison cell, with tv.

I sat down in the horribly cushioned chair that was placed next to the bed. "Day two I guess. I think I cried so much I ran out of tears." I picked up the water bottle I had brought along. "Riley keeps saying I need to drink water, that I will get sick without it. But, I'm already sick. I'm sick of this hospital. I'm sick of you being taken away from me again. I'm sick of being here, with you laying there."

I leaned back in the chair, thinking. If he never woke up, what would I do. I would go insane.
Look what two days has done to me.
