Lucas pov

"You really need to think before you do sometimes Lucas.. I thought you had learned that now!" He said took off his hat.

"I have.." I mumbled.

He turned to face me and once again looked me deep in the eyes.

"Then why did you make this mistake?" He asked.

That pushed me over the edge and I couldn't control it. My anger was build up from my talk with my dad and this was just the last piece.

"I'm so upset about everyone keep on saying that MY CHILD is a mistake! It's not, it's never gonna be. I do know that I wasn't super responsible, but you can not take that out on my child! So stop it." I said and banged my fists in my tight and stood up.

I had tears in my eyes now and I had control over my breathing and anger.

I cleaned my thorat and looked down at Pappy Joe. "I'm sorry.. it's just-.." I started.

"Lucas, I was just going to see how you would react. You see, that says a lot about how much you care." He said and patted me on the back.

I nobbed. "Sorry, to take it out like that on you."

"That's okay. Now, tell me, why did you come here? How did you know Maya was here." He asked.

"You see, when I was in coma and they were all in my room to say goodbye, I heard that they were there. That they talked, but it took time to understand what it was they actually was saying. But it was only Maya I focused on, therefore I only heard what she said.." I took a breath.

"And when I heard she saying I was going to be a dad, something inside me gave me the last powers I had too wake up. And here I am. Everything because of Maya. She also said ahe was sorry for everything and that it was her fault, and that she really appreciated what we had done for her... but she couldn't stay with mom and dad anymore now. She said she would go to her safe place and that is here." I finished.

It took some time for Pappy Joe to understand everything, but he soon smiled to himself.

"Safe place? Huh, I been called a lot of things but never a safe place." He said.

I chuckled at him, but stop when his smile disappeared.

"But why did she leave then? If I'm her safe place.." He asked.

I shook my head. "I don't know Pappy Joe... I don't know."

We sat in silence for a while, thinking about were she may had gone. But nothing seemed like a place for Maya to go too.

The clock was ticking and I felt my nerves press on. My headache was still ruining my brain, but I couldn't stop wondering where Maya had gone.

I walked around and stopped at a empty spot on the wall. "Where's that photo of me?" I asked.

Pappy Joe came up to me. "Maya must have taken it with her." He said and chuckled.
