Sonja Knight is a 23 year old who struggled with a mild form of Cerebral Palsy, always struggled to find her purpose in life. She calls condition 'A Gentle Disease'. Her parents always hard on her and she's finding it hard to fit in.
What happen whe...
Today...I had an MRI scan. God I hated those, your whole body began shoved into a tunnel where they could see the activity of your brain. Since Cerebral Palsy was a neurological disorder, they had to make sure my brain was in tact.
When I used to be younger, I never was able to lay still...So they would have to sedate me. All the I injections and needles fucked up my veins.
"Miss Knight please remove any metals you're wearing! And your clothes." The nurse said, as she handed me some hospital gown. I stripped out of my clothes and got into the hospital gown.
I remove my septum and just leave on my wooden cross. I walked into the cold room, with the massive Philips MRI machine stood there. I could hear the sounds.
I laid down, they put in the cage like thing over my face. I took a deep breath.
"What type of music do you want to listen to? So you can block out the noise?" The person spoke behind the screen, as the nurse made sure I was covered by a lead or something so it won't ruin my uterus, since it was radiology.
Some AC/DC was playing in the background, while there was darkness inside and then the lights began to flicker on around me. I held on tight on the edge of the hard bed.
(Monday)
I had physical therapy with Joe, well he was pretty cool. I mean he had tattoos and a septum, really built but the man was a legend.
"Hey Iron Lady! Are you ready to rock n roll?" Joe asks me while I nodded.
"Heck yes Joe! Let's do this." I said, we had some metal music blasting and KING by Satyricon. I began warming up with some box jumps, then some standing hip stretching.
"Struck that mat hard!" He said and I was striking the mat as hard as I could. I broke up a sweat but I lived for this.
Finally we did some mobility exercises such as straight leg raises on the bed. Then some sliding of my heel.
"Good job Iron Lady! You killed the session as always, but today you were on fire!" Joe says with a smile and I laughed.
Joe began giving me some stretches, it hurts due to the stiffness in my muscles. He gave me some hip stretches and we ended off with that.
"Alright Iron Lady! Killer session.". Joe says high fiving me. I smiled at him.
"Joe can I ask you a question?" I asked him. He recorded the exercises that we did, he was typing it in on his laptop.
"Yes Iron Lady, I'm listening." Joe says and saved the file, closing the lid of his laptop.
"So there were two boys at the record store and they want me to hang out. But I'm trying my hardest to avoid them." I explain to Joe.
You see Joe wasn't just my physical therapist. He was like a mentor or a life coach.
"Well...Sonja you're a beautiful looking girl, yes you may have your struggles but who doesn't? You never know what's happening with people behind close doors." Joe says and he was right. I ran my hand through my black hair.
"But Joe...They're really good looking. One of them was like something I had never seen before. He was tall,long blonde hair but his eyes were so captivating." I said with a sigh.
"Oh my dear Sonja, you should open up more. It will do a great deal of good." Joe says patting my leg and walked away.
(Later That Day)
I began getting dressed jn:

I looked at my reflection. For once I felt cute, I was trying to push myself out of the comfort for dressing. I packed my bag up, my trust Dell XPS laptop in tow.
I chucked on my oversized leather jacket and rucksack and locked the door of my tiny flat and left.
Joel
I decided to visit the record store, I fancied some new music and I was looking for an HIM vinyl. I shoved my hair up in a bun, and grab my leather jacket.
I approached the music store, I saw the same girl sitting on the stool. She had long black hair, I saw her typing away on a white laptop while yawning.
I walked in the door jingled and she looked up. I decided to browse around. I saw she had approached me. Her shop tag read: Sonja.
Wait? She was the girl that Niko was talking to me.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" She asks me.
"Actually yes. I'm looking for some HIM vinyl and some black metal." I tell her and she nods. I noticed that she was struggling to be stood in one place, she had an interesting aura. But her eyes held a lot of pain.
"Oh right this way!" Sonja says and leads me down the H section, while we both dug around for the vinyl. Our fingers accidentally brush,she clears her throat.
Her walking pattern was different, but I tried my hardest not to stare. I kind of understood her. She came back and gave me a copy of a band called Dissection Reinkaos.
"You should check this band out, especially this album it's pretty sick!" She says with a small smile playing her lips.
Sonja
"Will that be all?" I asked the tall blonde haired one. He looked hot with his hair done up in a bun, our eyes met. I began ringing him up.
"That would be eighteen euros. Cash or card?" I asked him.
"Card please." He says, he handed his card and I began cuing up the machine.
"Please shove your card in." I whispered, his blue gaze was intense. He looked so exhausted.
"You know Niko was waiting for you to text. But you don't seem like that type of girl." He says, while he took his card out and I gave him his receipt.
"Oh yes you're correct indeed!" I said nodding.
"I'm Joel!" He says while extending his hand out to me, and I shook it.
"Sonja." I said. I saw my boss Patrick walk out and he smiled.
"Sonja you can take a break! I'll take over." Patrick says and I nodded.
"Hey would you like to get coffee?" Joel asks me and I shrugged. Patrick grabs my forearm as I grabbed my bag. I'll come back for my jacket.
"Girl hes hot! You should go for it." Patrick says.
"Are you fucking kidding me? He'll disappear when he sees me walking!" I hissed, while Joel casually leant against the counter.
"Oh Sonja my dear you think too much." Patrick says pushing me gently and he laughed.
"Ah I'm ready." I whispered, Joel nods while we walked down the street in silence.
"So Niko was disappointed! You didn't show up." Joel says while we sat and drank our coffee.
Why was Joel here? I wanted to fucking ask, so I decided too.
"Why are you here Joel? I mean no offense, look at us. We're completely different!" I said, and Joel sighs.
"Because there's something about you Sonja. Especially the guys want to meet you! Aleksi and Niko can't stop talking about you." Joel says raising the cup to his lips.
"I can't! I'm busy." I lied trying to avoid him.
"Oh come on please!" Joel pouts and I allowed him to take me to the studio.
"F-fine just this once! Then promise to leave me alone." I whispered and he nods with a smile playing his lips.
He gripped my hand while I followed him. I walked behind him, because I didn't want him to see my abnormal gait. Well someone told me at least you're walking.
"We're here!" Joel says stopping in front of a large building and I sighed.
"It won't be that bad will it?" I asked myself mentally.
