The reason why [L.H]

Chapter 21) Hospital visit

Since Luke had left, i had spent my time in my bed, with a tub of ice cream. But now that it was monday, i was walking over to the studio to collect my things. It was still early, so i knew no one would be around, and since i still had a key, i could just go in. Take my things, and then i would be out.

I didn't bother to dress up, just a pair of casual skinny jeans, a messy bun. And one of Luke's hoodies, he had left at my place. Of course it was way too big for me, so i had rolled the sleeves up. But it was nice to wear, his scent was all over it, so it felt like a part of him was here with me.

I quickly unlocked the door to the studio, and hurried over to my desk where all my stuff was. I didn't have that much to take with me, so there wasn't much i had to pack into my bag. But as i stood here and stuffed the last of my belongings into my bag, i heard the door open behind me.

There was no need for me to turn around, because i already knew who it would be. But i did it anyway. ''Um.. Hey Liz..'' I said awkwardly, as i scratched the back of my neck. ''Hello Maya..'' Liz said back, with a sigh escaping her lips. I walked over to her and dropped the keys on her desk. 

''So um, i guess i'll get outta here now'' I said quietly as i started to walk away. ''Maya i'm so sorry'' Liz said with sadness in her voice. ''It's alright, really.. A part of me knew that i couldn't both have this job, and be in a relationship with your son'' I said honestly.

This was always gonna be a problem, one way or the other. And no matter what, i would have chosen Luke. ''Please believe me when i say i'm happy for the two of you.. I might not have shown it very well the other night, but i couldn't have asked for a better girlfriend for my son'' She said to me, truth was clear in her voice, so i didn't doubt her words.

''Thank you..'' I said quietly as i looked down at the ground. I could feel Liz eyeing me, and that was probably because i was wearing Luke's hoodie. ''If you don't mind me asking.. Where are you going after you leave now?'' Liz asked me. I didn't know if Luke had told her about me moving in with him, but either way she was gonna find out. ''I'm going home.. I need to start packing up my stuff'' I told her truthfully.

''Oh, so you're moving?'' She asked, but i think she already knew the answer to where i was moving. ''Yeah.. Luke asked me to move in with him, and well.. We both thought it would be a good idea, since he's on tour, and we won't see each other that much.. And there would still be distance between us if i lived here, and he would like be on the other side of the world and-'' I rambled until i had to stop, to take a breath.

''Maya darling, i'm not mad'' Liz chuckled at me. ''You're not?'' I asked. ''No, i'm glad.. I think you're gonna be good for him, seeing as the last two of his relationships both ended up badly.. It makes me happy that he has someone like you'' She told me, with a smile on her lips.

I had heard about that, well the first one that is.. I knew it ended badly, only because Liz had talked about it before, but the other one i didn't know about. Only that he had been with someone before him and i got together, i think it had been a month since he and her broke things off. But how should i know? I mean, that's when the news got out, and it was over the media. Other than that, i didn't know if they had been broken up longer.

''But Maya.. Could i ask you for a favor?'' Liz asked me, pulling me out of my thoughts. ''Of course, you know i'll do anything'' I smiled at her, maybe my relationship with Liz wouldn't be affected as much as i had thought.. Now that it was clear that she didn't have a problem with me being together with Luke.

''Can..Can i maybe get you to go with me to the hospital?'' She asked me nervously, and to be honest her asking me that, made me nervous as well. Because by the way her voice sounded, this sounded serious, like something was wrong.
