Chapter 6

Amy lied down in her bed waiting for her test results. Shaun, Claire, and Morgan walked into the room.

"We have your test results," Claire said.

"And?" Amy asked.

"You have Lyme disease," Shaun informed her.

"I do?" Amy asked.

"Yes," Morgan replied.

"So what now?" Amy asked.

"You need to start taking antibiotics," Shaun replied. "But we highly recommend you visit a Lyme disease specialist."

"That way you can get consulted and go over potential treatments," Claire added.

"Here," Morgan said as she handed Amy an information sheet she printed. "This is a list of specialists in San Jose."

"Thank you," Amy said. "I'm relieved that I finally know what's wrong with me. For the past 6 months, I've been turned away by so many doctors who thought I was crazy."

"They were stupid," Shaun said.

Later, Shaun walked into the apartment where Lea was watching TV.

"Hello, Lea," Shaun said. "I didn't think you'd be up. It's almost 3:00 AM."

"I'm upset," Lea said.

"What happened?" Shaun asked.

"Nothing, Shaun," Lea lied. "I'm going to bed."

"You are lying," Shaun said. "What happened?"

"Okay," Lea said. "Just please don't get angry."

"Why would I get angry?" Shaun asked.

"Max called me a bitch," Lea replied.

"What?" Shaun asked.

"He called me a bitch," Lea repeated.

"Why would he do that?" Shaun asked.

"Shaun…" Lea said.

"I have to talk to him," Shaun said before storming out of the apartment.

"Uh oh," Lea said.

Shaun arrived at Clark and Shayna' hotel room and pounded of the door. Clark opened the door and stood there in his pajamas.

"Shaun?" Clark asked. "What are you doing here?"

"I need to talk to you," Shaun said. "Outside please."

"Okay," Clark said. "Just let me get my shoes on."

After Clark put his shoes on he followed Shaun outside the hotel.

"What's up?" Clark asked.

"I talked to Lea," Shaun said. "Did you call her a bitch?"

"No," Clark lied.

"You are lying," Shaun said.

"Okay," Clark said. "I did."

"Why?" Shaun asked.

"She's being a bitch," Clark replied. "Look, Shaun. I know you don't want to believe it, but she's using you."

"She is not," Shaun said. "You had no right calling her a bitch."

"I don't like her, Shaun," Clark said. "She's not a nice person."

"Stop it," Shaun said.

"I'm sorry," Clark said. "Look, I'll call you when Shayna and I land in Long Beach."

"Don't bother," Shaun said. "You're not my friend anymore."

"What?" Clark asked in disbelief.

"Goodbye, Max," Shaun said as he began walking off.

"Shaun!" Clark pleaded. "Don't be this way! You're my best friend! We need each other!"

Shaun stopped and turned around.

"I do not need you!" Shaun screamed. "You called Lea a bitch and hurt her feelings! Friends don't hurt people who their friends care about! Never talk to me again! Never call me again! I hate you and I will never forgive you! If you were really my best friend, you wouldn't have been mean to Lea!"

Shaun walked off while Clark continued to plead.

"Shaun!" Clark pleaded. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Don't be like this! Shaun!"
