I just keep moving forward

Chapter 39: The Unthinkable

AN: Sorry, late upload. What are everyone's opinions on chapter 138? Personally, I both like and dislike it. I feel there's gonna be a major twist where Eren is still alive

Eren POV:

Its now been 4 months since my accident

I don't have to walk with a crutch anymore, just my cast and a big boot

My hamstring and hip flexes are back to full strength and I've been doing well in physical therapy

I'm able to move my ankle around in a circle and lightly jog on the spot

I'm a month ahead of where I should be and that was even if I did fully recover

There was a 30% chance that I'd fully recover but now, its looking highly likely that I will

My interview went viral on YouTube, getting 8 million views

Max has been getting alot of public attention, a lot of people are still convinced that he knocked me down fair and square

A lot of people have shown the fact that there was water on the ring but no one knows where it came from

I've been keeping my mind off him for now

Just trying to recover

2 weeks later:

Nurse: "Okay Eren, I'm taking the boot and the cast off now"

I nodded and watched as she did so

The boot was taken off first

My foot and ankle suddenly felt free in the cool air of the hospital

As my cast was taken off, I saw that the swelling had gone down completely and my foot was back to normal colour

My ankle just looked slightly deflated and pale

Nurse: "Lets see if you can stand up now Eren"

Let's go

I've got this

I push myself up and stand up

I'm doing it

Nurse: "Wow. Well done Eren, take a few steps around" (she says encouragingly)

I began walking around the room

Wall to wall

To my mum

To Mikasa

To my dad

To Levi, who has come to each and every one of my check ups

I feel a little bit off balance but apart from that, I'm fine

Nurse: "I'm in shock. Come sit back down now Eren"

I sit down and she applies a thin bandage to my wound

It goes from the lower half of my shin to the first half of my foot

She then uses blue sports tape to wrap around the middle third of the bandaged area

Covering my heal and ankle

Nurse: "You're now able to do exercise. Don't do anything to demanding on your legs though. Keep this on for a month or two and then you'll be able to fight again" (she smiled with pride)

I've done it

I'm back

Back again

You can't stop me
