Chapter 1: I really loved you, I`m in tears
Maya pov
I woke up in the hospital waiting room with Riley on my left and Josh on my right. I slowly got up and went to the reception desk. The lady`s curly blonde hair almost hit my face when I leaned over. "Excuse me miss," she looked up "is there a update on Katy Hart?" I asked her. She typed something in on her computer before looking up. "The surgery didn't go well, she doesn't look like she is going to make it, they might need the family`s permission to let her go. I am sorry hon." She said and smiled sadly at me. "Can I see her real quick to say goodbye?" I asked. She nodded and I ran down the long hallway to room 102. I was shocked when I got there. My mom was lying there, looking dead, with so many machines it looked like a science fiction movie. Her face was torn and ripped up, and the rest of her body broken and covered up with a blanket. "Hi mom, I know now that I have to let you go. I just wanted to say, I forgive you. I love you so much!" I said, I saw her eyes flutter open and she said what would be her last words. "I love you too. Goodbye honey." She said, her voice mumbled. I heard the flat line of her heartbeat and saw the doctors running in. The rest was a blur, as tears rolled down my cheek and I froze in place. "She`s gone, and I am all alone." I said once I came to terms with what was happening. "No you`re not, I am going to be here for you." A voice said. I first I thought it was Riley, "Riley, I love you but, you can`t help me." I said. It wasn't Riley, "It`s not Riley Maya." The voice said. I was confused. "Corey?" I asked. "Nope, it is Shawn." The voice replied and walked in front of me. "What do you mean you are going to be there for me? You hate me." I said, referring to his entrance statement. "No I don't. I am taking you in under my care, you are now technically my child." He said. I let more tears roll down my cheek as my mind finally realized, I was gonna need a new home. Shawn looked at me sadly as I silently cried. Finally he came and sat down with me, he hugged me and I lied on his shoulder. "It is gonna be okay, we will make it Maya." He said. After a couple minutes of whispering soothing words into my hair, he got up and offered his hand. I took it and we left, apparently to go get my stuff.
