Unscripted Truths

Chapter 11: Pain

Maya POV

I ran as fast as I could away form Lucas's apartment building. I didn't know where I was going and soon I was lost. I didn't have a phone or anything to call anyone. And I was in the middle of nowhere. Great Maya now you've really screwed up. Then it starts to rain. So I sit down for a minute and cry. I cry out all the pain Lucas, My parents, Riley, and everyone has caused me. Why can't I just be normal like every other girl. Why can't I be likable. Why did my dad have to abandon me. Was I not go enough then too? Why can't I just be dead? Why do I have to mess everything up? Why can't I just disappear. I don't deserve friends. I don't deserve a family. I don't deserve a life.

"I hate my life. I hate my self!" I yell as tears come streaming down my face. I fall to my knees and scream as loud as I can. Then I start to run again. I don't know where I'm going but i really don't care. Then I stop to catch my breath. After a minute I begin to run again. Then I slip and fall. I try to get up but then a shot of pain goes through my left leg. After about five minutes I manage to get up.

I limp for about another 10 minutes down the street until I come across a hospital. So I decide to go in. So I tell the front desk lady about my leg and how I don't know where I am. So she tells me to take a seat. After 20 minutes they say they are now going to take a look at my leg. So a nurse takes me to one of the hospital rooms.

As I'm walking something catches my eye so I stop for a brief moment. I see a women about 35 years old lying on a hospital bed. I can tell she has some type of cancer and it looks like it's getting worse. Then there's a boy my age sitting by what I'm guessing is his mothers bed side holding her hand. They stay like that for a couple minutes, then finally the boy looks at me and I can't believe what I see.
