Riley continued to ask questions; which annoyed Maya a little.
Maya answered them as best as she could, but obviously, she was not a doctor.
"What was it like? How long do you need crutches? Are you hungry?" Riley spit out questions a mile a minute and Maya couldn't keep up.
"Riley! Just be quiet for two seconds!" Maya exclaimed.
Riley gave her a hurt expression and just stared at her.
Maya immediately regretted what she said. "Riley...I"
"Don't bother. I know when I'm not wanted." She left the room without saying anything else.
Maya's heart ached. She had basically told her best friend to shut up. She laid back as tears formed in her eyes. "I'm so sorry Riley," she said under her breath.
Meanwhile, Riley was trying really hard not to cry. She felt stupid that she has asked too many questions and was annoying to Maya. Maya didn't need her. She lost the fight, and the tears began to fall. She put her head in her hands and just cried. "I'm so sorry Maya'," she apologized under her breath. She got up and ran back to the room Maya was in. She peeked in and saw that Maya was crying. "Why is Maya crying? She didn't do anything wrong," she thought to herself. She was surprised that Maya didn't notice her, but at the same time, not.
Maya's face was hidden behind her hands, which means she probably couldn't see the door. She did eventually notice her, and she immediately tried to get up, but her ankle prevented it.
Riley ran to her side and hugged her tightly. "I'm so sorry," they both said at the exact same time.
Maya cocked her head to the side and asked, "Why are you sorry? I'm the one who got mad."
"Why are you sorry? I'm the one who was annoying." they just looked at each other and laughed. Riley pressed a gentle kiss to Maya's cheek.
Maya moved over so Riley could get up next to her.
Riley jumped on the hospital bed and cuddled into Maya; being careful about her injuries still.
Now it was Maya's turn, and she returned the gesture by also kissing her cheek. "I'm sorry for yelling," she apologized softly.
Riley smiled. "Sorry for asking questions that you obviously don't know the answers to."
Maya laughed. "It's okay, you're Riley. I should've just went along with it." The stayed in a complete silence for a bit, then Cory came in the room.
"Hey girls. How are you doing Maya," Cory asked.
Maya laughed. "I'm in a hospital because my ankle was broken. I'm doing great."
Cory also laughed. "Now, why don't you try out your crutches?"
Riley helped Maya up and gave her the crutches.
Maya put them under her arms and attempted to use them. She fell forward but was caught by Cory and Riley. The three of them laughed and Maya went back to figuring out the crutches.
