It was a usual night out for the two, Maya had found a party and made a call to her best friend; Lucas. That was their thing, she would find the parties and he would go along with her. At first, it was just to keep an eye on her because he knew what she could be like but two or three parties later he joined in with her. Most of those times he would lie and say he was staying at one of his teammates houses for the night because it's safe to assume his parents didn't like the influence the rebel girl had on him. So he often lied about being with her, she was his best friend and he was not letting her go just because his parents thought she wasn't good enough for him. He meets her outside of her apartment window, a smile across his face as she climbed out and led the way towards the party. They talked about what they had planned for the weekend, Lucas had a game and she said she'd go and that night his parents were going on a date so they were going to end up having a movie night at his place. Game day, Movie Night's were something they claimed as theirs. The night went into the early mornings of the next day. Maya and Lucas were walking down an empty street, their steps in time with each other as they laughed about how a guy in their year, Charlie Gardner got sucker punched by this girl. The pair were running of guesses as to what he may have said to have the girl do that to him. If they weren't talking it was just silent as they walked down the middle of the road, eyes fixated up at the stars that shinned up above them. Maybe they were too distracted or too drunk to hear the car coming, but it came and hit them. It separated the friends; Lucas rolled to the side the hit only leaving him with a limp and with a few scraps upon his arm, face and leg. He did his best to pick himself up and get himself over to Maya. When he did she her, his eyes widened in shock as he looked at her. It seemed like it hit her harder, and he could barely feel her pulse. The blood running from the wound at the top of her head dripped into her messy blonde hair. It was a lot to process, he even forgot that he had to call 911 but he didn't need to as almost ten minutes later he heard sirens as he was trying to get her to wake up but it wouldn't work.
Oh god, the ride to the hospital seemed like it was going on forever. He had ridden with Maya, he was prepared to lie about their relationship just so he could ride, but it was when he was reminded of his own injuries did he realises he didn't need too. It was painful watching as one of the medics attended his friend, while the other was looking him over. The wait to hear if she was going to be okay was very long, it had also given his parents enough time to come and see him. They worried about their son, he know this despite their dislike for his friend, or the fact that they fight often they cared about him.
"Just a few scraps but I'm okay. Mama, Sir, I am sorry for sneaking out and scaring you. I'm sorry." Lucas said as he pulled away from the hug that his parents had pulled him into.
"What were you doing out this late anyway?" His mother asked, worry settling into her voice as she over looked her son. He was just going to go say he was at one of his teammates houses but the doctor came in asking for the people who were here for Maya. It was quick, the change in his parent's facial expressions, it turned from sadness and worry to disappointment.
"Yeah, I'm here." Lucas spoke up, pushing past his parents to get closer to the doctor.
"And your relation to her?" He asked in return.
"I am her friend but I am all she has at this moment." He replied, hoping that it would be enough for him to tell him what was going on. He knows if Katy, Maya's mother could be here she would be, having low paying jobs and a daughter take care of was a lot of work and he understood and that and he knows Maya would understand it. "Please just tell me because I am practically a part of her family to her. I need to know how she is."
The doctor let out a sigh before he spoke. "She has made it through, but she won't wake up. She's in a coma and we aren't sure of when she'll wake up."
Lucas covered his hand with his mouth, no this could not be happening. "Can I see her?"
Nodding the doctor told him the room and he left, and Lucas made his way towards her room. Her form was pretty lifeless as it lay in the bed, hooked up to tubes and machines. He walked in, pulling a seat close to the bed and taking her hand into his. His parents seemed to have followed him in, but he ignored them. "You are Maya Hart, and you will make it through this."
"Well if you hadn't gone out with her she wouldn't be here like this." The words started to send an alarm through Lucas body as he turned to look at his parents.
Were they really accusing them of going out being the sole problem? The anger was quick to build up in him and he pulled his hand back and let his fist fly towards his father's face. "How is it doing our usual thing the reason for this? No one knew it was going to happen so fuck you. Let me go Mama." Lucas said as he felt his mother pulling him back from his father, he wanted another swing at his father for trying to accuse them for it being their fault. Sure it was partially their fault but it was also the driver's for not stopping and for driving drunk.
"We're going home and taking you with us. No questions about it Lucas, go!" His mother ordered as she pointed towards the door. Feeling like he had no other choice he exited the room, he would just come back later. He won't be playing in tomorrow's game anyway not with his injuries.
