Maya POV
When I entered the waiting room, everyone was already there. Whole team looked heartbroken.
"Any news?" I asked.
"Nothing... nothing yet." Capitan Herrera answered and his voice broke.
"I can't believe you are here." Jack said.
"Come on Gibson, they are best friends, even when they fight. They are just like me and you." Dean said.
"Best friends does she even know what it means?! She stole her job and she hide from her that she was dating me. Besides, it's all her fault. Andy's condition wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't because of her."
"Jack from what I understood, you were the one who let her go downstairs alone. You are as responsible as Maya is. No one could have predicted that Andy would be attracted." Travis said.
"And do you know why Andy had to go downstairs or why it took you twice more time than needed to get there?" Jack said and everyone looked at me. I couldn't say a word. He was right, I'm the one responsible for this mess.
"Ok, if she doesn't want to say anything, then I will. Andy went downstairs, because there were things missing in our bag. We haven't done the stocking, because our Capitan said that B shift did it, but they actually hadn't. When I found her on the ground I used my radio to call for back up, but none of you respond. I even call our Capitan, but she rejected my phone call. That's the reason why you came there almost to late and that you had to drive there on the first place." Everyone was silent they were hurt and disappointed, disappointed by me. I couldn't stay there much longer so I decided to leave. When I left the room I could hear Jack words.
"Yeah leave and don't try to come back here. I swear if she dies, I will make sure that you will lose your grade." I couldn't bear it any longer. I started to run, just like on the Olympics and I wasn't able to stop. I heard Carina saying my name, she probably was in the waiting room and heard what kind of monster I am. I went outside the hospital and sat on the bench.
I don't know how much time passed, but it was getting cold outside and I was still sitting there.
"I didn't know you are still here" Travis said and sat beside me.
"I'm sorry for Jack. He was to hard on you. Andy is alive. She is on ICU, in coma, which is not good, but she will be OK. She is a tough cookie. Right?" Travis said and I started to cry again.
"Hey, hey don't cry. SHE WILL BE OK. SHE HAS TO." Montgomery tried to cheer me up.
"How do you know? She is in COMA, some people have never woke up from COMA. What have I done." I answered.
"Come on do you really believe it. Mistakes happen, all of us made them and will make more in the future."
"Andy wouldn't do such a mistake." I said.
"Probably not, but she is not green and you are. You haven't lead the whole action before you made it capitan and she did. I will be honest I'm a bit mad, but I'm not sure if I'm mad at you. I'm mad that Ryan is dead and that Andy didn't get the promotion. Don't get me wrong. You are good, but you still need some experience. Do you know that my husband died, because of mistake, which green capitan did? Today nobody died so please, let it be a lesson for you and don't make such a mistake again, OK?"
"Yes, I promise. Thank you Trav." I said.
"Not a problem, now let's get you home all right?"
"All right." We went to my car and Travis said that he will be driving.
"Where do you want me to take you?" He asked.
"To my apartment please."
"Copy that." We spend 2 minutes in silence and Travis spoke again.
"Maybe you should take a few days off. You could have rest and had some time to visit Andy. You know I don't think it's a good idea to go to the hospital when Jack will be there too. Plus patients on ICU could only have one visitor in the room at the same time."
"Yeah, you are probably right. Thank you." I said as he parked at my parking spot.
"You can borrow my car if you want." I offered.
"No, I will take uber to the station and head home in my own car. Do you want me to stay with you for a while?"
"I will be fine. Thank you again for everything. Please tell me if you will have some news." I said.
"I will and I hope you will inform me too, when you will get something." He answered.
"Ofcourse, good night Travis."
"Good night Maya." He said and I went to my apartment. When I get there I decided to sleep in Andy's old room. I fell asleep holding the picture of Herrera and me on my chest wishing to hug her and be friends with her again.
