I was in no mood to practice anymore after what just happened as I toss my stuff in my bag, walking to the door before I pause and turn back to Martín for a moment as he just nods and waves me off. The good thing about Martín and I being close friends was that he would always have my back in case of an emergency, which this situation most certainly is as I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket as I made my way out to the parking lot. I get my phone out from my pocket and see Martín had texted me the hospital Maya was at along with the room she was in, my heart started racing a little bit as a I started my car and drove over to the hospital anxiously to see Maya. My stomach was turning like crazy and I felt myself becoming quite nauseous the closer I got to the hospital, my instincts telling me that Maya might not even recognize me or might have a nervous mental break down because she was deliriously confined in somewhat unfamiliar surroundings.
I stop at the store to get a gift for Maya after I checked in at the front desk as I see a teddy bear I knew she'd love, I smile to like a giant goofball as I get the teddy bear and take it to the cash register so I can pay for it and go see Maya. I couldn't seem to get the smile still on my face when an employee comes up and sees how happy I am. The older woman smiles and nods because she could tell it was meant to be a special gift for someone I truly cared for, my heart starts fluttering wildly when I catch the scent of Maya's sweet flower and fruit perfume for some reason, there is no way I should smell her perfume since I was so far from her.

"Just the bear sir?"
"Yes ma'am, just the bear"
"That'll be $9.75"
"Here you go, thank you so much"
"You're very welcome honey"
I grab the teddy bear once I finished paying for it and make my way toward the elevator, gently fixing the bow which had been tied around the bear's neck as I waited patiently for the elevator to arrive. My nerves were slowly starting to take control as I imagined many of the worst case scenarios that Maya could potentially be going through now, from the gut wrenching possibility of her dying to the possibility that she might not remember anyone. I fiddle with my sweatshirt anxiously when the elevator doors finally open up as I walk over to the security table, clutching the bear tight as I wait for the security guard to finish with the other people who are waiting as well. I look down and saw my hands trembling uncontrollably as I attempt to compose myself and not look like a total fool, it also felt like my stomach was turned in several tightly coiled knots because I still wasn't entirely aware of the extent of the injuries Maya was dealing with.
"What's the name of the patient and room number sir?"
"Maya Suarez, room 531"
"Her doctor spoke to me and said she didn't want to have any visitors yet, I'm very sorry to tell you about that but I guess she just needs some time to compose herself now"
