We return to the Matthews resident hand in hand.

I listened as she told me about her friends, and her mom, and just her life in random spurs on our way there.

It's unusual, for me to find joy in the company of someone so young, or someone in general, but she's actually really... Cool.

Kids- teens... Well really just people in general, don't get along too well with me, ironic since I'm a psychiatrist.

I mean I literally get paid to talk and give advice

"Maya? Oh my- ok, let me- just can I explain?" Katy asks, standing up from her seat at the table.

I look around, all the Matthews had coincidentally disappeared.

Slowly, Maya goes and sits across from her mom, hands placed in her lap, staring hard at the table.

Katy opens her mouth to speak but Maya lifts a hand, signaling for her to stop before she looks at me. "You gonna leave me on my own now? Or sit with me?"

My eyes widen with shock for a millisecond before I walk over, taking a seat beside her, Shawn shooting an uneasy smirk at me.

"Ok," Katy starts after the four of us were seated. "Maya, I never intended for you to find out-"

"You planned on keeping this from me, forever?"

"Like this...But when I saw Shawn here, I knew it wasn't right to keep him in the dark so I had to tell him... But then all of you over heard"

"Why didn't you tell me he wasn't my father? When he left me? When I cried for years? You could have at least said he wasn't even my real dad." I could see the tears threatening to spill in her eyes, I could see how hurt she was.  "How could you do that to me?"

"I wanted to, but it never seemed like the right time. I know I'm a crappy mom, I've messed up many times, this is one of them..."

"Maya," Shawn speaks for the first time since we arrived "Maya... Could we maybe go grab something to eat? we could get to know eachother..."

She pretends to think "Under one condition"

"Of course, what is it?"

"Y/n comes with us."

"Maya I think-"

"It's fine with me" Shawn shrugs

I glare at him, then look at Maya "I think-"

"Y/n, you're coming." Her words demanding but her features soft, afraid.

I sigh "I guess I'm going with you two."
