A Broken Man (Part 22)

One Shot #27 (Cont.)

Moana's POV

  I spent a couple hours out on the balcony staring at the ocean to calm me down as well think a bit. I feel both incredibly stupid for throwing myself at him so desperately and guilty for making him feel bad. I need to apologize. I open the door to come back into the room. As I glance at the bed, I see that Maui's asleep. I want to do something nice for him. I'll get us both supper and we can eat it on the balcony. Pizza sounds pretty good to me right now. It's one of Maui's favorites too so I'm sure he'll eat some with no problem. I'll get a half buffalo chicken and half pepperoni pizza. I love the spicy stuff. I grab my room key and head down to the pizza place across the way.

   I get to the pizza place pretty quickly and place the order. With the pizza, I get a bottle of grape soda and a bottle of fruit punch. I wait about ten minutes before the guy hands me the pizza. I thank him, pay him, and head back to the room. I don't want Maui to wake up in a panic that I'm not there. He's probably upset with me enough as is...

  Maui's POV

  I wake up to find that no one else in the room. I try to get out of bed, but remember that my stupid, useless legs won't allow me to. I sigh and stay in bed. I'm sure it's just my anxiety getting the best of me. Moana should be back any minute now. As if someone up above was reading my mind, I hear the door opening, indicating that Moana's back. "Maui, I'm back. I just went to get us food. I'm not really in the mood for dealing with a lot of people tonight." As she places a pizza box and drinks down, she looks at me with glassy eyes. Moana feels just as bad as I do, if not worse. That worries me. "Moana, come over here please." She hugs her arms against her chest, but stays standing in her current spot. "I don't want to hurt you anymore than I already did Maui. What I did was so stupid and even somewhat selfish. I'm so sorry."

   "Moana, I'm the one who's sorry. You were just trying to spice things up a bit, which I've been wanting to do for some time. It's just my depression and anxiety got the best of me. I hope you can forgive me." She nods and mumbles "I do. Do you forgive me?" "Absolutely. Do you mind helping me out of bed?" Moana rushes to my bedside, helping me sit in my wheelchair. She then pushes me out onto the balcony. Surprisingly, the balcony is big enough to fit four people, even if all four of those people are in wheelchairs. "Help yourself first Moana. You look exhausted and need to eat." "I'm fine Maui. I'll take a bite of mine and then help you with yours. I'd rather you eat first." I sigh. "Are you sure?" "Positive." We end up taking turns eating, though of us remain quiet overall. I think both of us are trying really hard not to start an argument and hurt one another any further. Hopefully this will blow over overnight and we can start fresh tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is a new day.
