Mayas POV

It was the next day and carina and I had just been laying in bed all day. Carina had gotten paged and needed to go to the hospital, but Amelia had texted and said she wanted me to come too.

Despite being confused, we got ready and made our way to grey Sloan where we were met by a very stressed Amelia.

"Hey, ok so I don't want to put any pressure on you, but I have a 15-year-old girl who came in and she doesn't like being touched so we can't do anything, and I thought you two were the best when it comes to situations like these so..."

"And you want us to come to meet her?" carina asked                                          

"Yeah, ok I know that seems weird, but she is really freaking out and none of us really know what to do so you're like my last resort" she laughed

"Ok, we'll be over in a minute"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she said excitedly before leaving

"Ok, so she is in bed 9, we closed the curtains and everything, but she's really jumpy and gets scared really easily"

"Ok, let's go see a random girl," I said laughing as Amelia walked over with us

"Hey, ava. I brought you two of my closest friends who I think you might want to talk to"

"You brought me, two random people, to talk to?" she says with an attitude

"They're not random, I think you'll like them"

Maya's POV

"Ok, but I'm only talking to one at a time," she said

"Ok that's fine, you two go talk medical stuff," I said

"You sure you'll be ok" carina asks

"Yes, and I will get you if I'm not"

"Ok, see you soon, bye ava"

Carina and Amelia walked down the hall to talk about what was medically wrong with her.

"So, you don't like being touched?" I asked

"Oh my god, did she send a therapist in" she moaned

"No, I'm definitely not a therapist," I said laughing a bit 

"Why are you asking then?"

"Because I don't like being touched either"

"I saw you holding the other girls' hand when you came in"

"Yeah, that's carina, the first and only person I let touch me in 10 years"

"I find that hard to believe"

"why"

"10 years?"

"Yeah, I still have panic attacks if someone else touches me, so you can count on the fact that I'm not going to touch you," I said, receiving a nod

"So why are you in here?" I added

"I cut too deep, like an idiot" she joked

"I did that a few times, had to be resuscitated when I was 14" I laughed back

"they're going to send me to psych again," she said surprisingly cheery

"Again?"

"Yep, I've been there 4 times, they've kept me there a total of 5 months now"

"I went to psych a few times, I think a total of 7 months because I ended up flatlining. I ended up cutting too deep on purpose though, I preferred being in a psych hospital to being at home" I said without getting an answer from her
