Moving On

Kylie
The next day, I wake up, I go to turn over the pain in my back, which is instant, and I remember what happened, I looked around the room and saw the clock on the bedside table. Oh my, it's 11 am. I have to be at work in an hour, and my heart sinks. I lie there a few more minutes. This is the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. I snuggle down into the pillow it smells like David, and I find that comforting.
I think it's time I get up so it start to move the pillows on one side I'm very careful as my back is still painful I manage to sit up with my legs over the side when there is a knock at the door I tense.
"Kylie, are you awake?"
"Yes, David,"
"Can I come in?"
"Yes," as he opens the door and comes in, I see he has the kit Dr walker gave him,
"I've come to change your dressing, but would you like a wash first?"
"Yes, please, I would like to wash," he smiles at me
"Ok, call me when you're done or if you need help. The bathroom is through there,"
"Thank you," I reply. I walk into the bathroom, and it takes me twenty five minuets to wash. I try to see my back and realise that dressing is still on. Maybe that's a good thing. Then something else comes to mind I have no clean underwear or clothes. I make my way back into the room in just the gown the doctor gave me. I gingerly sit on the bed. Knock knock
"Kylie, can I come in?"
"Yes," David walks in
"Are you ready for me to change your dressing?" I blush
"Yes."
"Ok, can you lie down?", I lie down on my stomach it's then I realise I have no underwear on he must notice my discomfort as he grabs the duvet and covers my lower half just leaving my back exposed then he pulls the gown apart I feel the pull of the tape as he removes the dressing I hear him gasp.
"Is it that bad?"
"I just hate to see this on you. This shouldn't have happened to you." I stay quiet , and now it's my turn to gasp as the cold ontiment touches my skin,
"I'm sorry."
"It's ok just cold", he is being so gentle it's nice , then he places the dressing on my back, "I'm finished" he closes the gown, he helps me to sit up.
"David"
"Yes, kylie."
"I need some clothes."
"We can go shopping when your back is better,"
"Can we go tomorrow?"
"Why tomorrow?"
"I would like to go out. I like the fresh air,"
"You can sit on the porch,"
I sigh,"ok."
"Kylie, talk to me. What's the matter?"
"I've never had the opportunity to go out on my terms only the few times I went to the lake I've only gone out cause I have to" I look at David then put my head down.
"Do you want to go out today?"
"I can't."
"Why not?" He asks
"I have to go to work now,"
"Kylie, it's for your best interest. If you don't go back there, please, I don't want you to work there,"
"I'll have no money if I don't."
"I'll give you a job,"
"Really?"
"Yes," but not until you're better
"Thank you so much. I'll work hard, but I need to go get my money and tell them I quit."
"We will take you and go shopping, but after you rest, yes,"
"Thank you, I will,"
"Is there anything else you need?"
"Can you help me with my jeans, please?" I blush like crazy.
"Of course he helps me and pulls them up till I can reach, then he turns around."
"I'm done," I say
"I'm going to speak to the guys,"
"Ok," I just sit there for a minute. I'm a bit scared. What if my mothers there's, oh god? Why me? I put my head in my hands.

David
"Hey, how is kylie?" Carl asks
"Ok, I think."
"What does that mean?" Mike asks
"Well, she keeps things to herself she is scared,"
"Yes, we can see that," Lenny says, "but we are here to help something tell me she has been through too much for a young woman."
"I know."
"So what's happening today?" Lenny says
"Well, Kylie needs clothes, so I thought I'd take her shopping."
"I'll come to. I need shirts," Lenny says
"Me too," Mike says. You know I love to shop ,the guys laugh
"Ok."
"Carl, what about you?"
"No, can't I have to go to the office? There's a problem with a delivery."
"Do you need me to come?" Lenny says
"Nah, I hope not to be that long, then I'm off to the gym."
"You sure?" Mike says
"Positive bring me something back." he slaps Lenny on the back and gets the car keys
"Later"
"Later," we reply.
"What does kylie want for breakfast?" Lenny says
"I don't know, I'll go get her."  I get to my bedroom door, and I hear crying I knock.
"Kylie, can I come in?" I say
"Sure." I opens the door and walks in
"Are you ok?"She nods her head. I sit next to her. It will be ok, kylie. " she shakes her head,
"I don't know what to do,"
"What do you mean?"
"With my life, what's next?"
"Do you want to know what I see?"
"Ok," she replies
"I see you getting better. I see you become stronger. I see you work for us. If you want, I see you never hurt again." she looks at me, tears rolling down her face
"How can you see that? How can you know?"
"Because we won't let anything happen to you," I reply
"That's so nice of you to say."
"So let's go down and get you breakfast, then we can go shopping." I help Kylie, and we go downstairs.
"Hi, kylie," Mike and Lenny say
"Hi." She looked around.
"Carl has gone to the office he will be back later ,What would you like to eat?" Mike asks,
"Can I have some toast, please?"
"Sure,"Mike says.

Kylie
Lenny sits down with two cups. "Tea or coffee?"
"Tea, please,"
"There you go," Lenny says
"Thank you." he notices me, looking at the cups
"I like tea and coffee the same, so I never ask what people want when I make drinks cause I just have the other," Lenny says
"Oh," I reply . Just then, a breakfast was put I front of me it was a full English breakfast
"Thank you," I say with wide eyes the others eat with me. I ate half. I was full. I looked at the food,"Can I eat the rest later? Is that ok ?"
"No," David says
"Oh, ok." I go to pick up the food when the plate was lifted away by David,
"You can't eat it tonight. We are having a takeaway," he says, smiling at me and then putting the food in the bin.
"So everybody ready," David asks
"No," Mike says ,
"Really?" David said to him
"Not me, but kylie, do you want to go out in a hospital gown?" I shake my head
"Oh shit I said I forgot, kylie, you can wear one of my shirts it will be way too big , but your back might be for the best,"
"Yes, please," I reply
"Ok, I'll fetch." One, he soon comes back in with a black t shirt this, ok? ,
"Yes, thank you,"
"Ok," he smiles. The downstairs bathroom is there, I take the shirt go to the bathroom, and the gown was easy to get off. I put it on the sink then put the shirt over my head and I was happy it was big it made it easier for me to get on I saw a brush and did my hair the best way I could I walked out the bathroom gown in hand.
"Shall I chuck that in the bin?" David asks, referring to the gown
"Can I wash it and give it back to Dr walker at my next appointment?"
"Sure, I'll put it in the wash." he took it and came back,
"I'm so sorry, kylie," He says
"Why?"
"Your back must be hurting. Here is your pain pill and some water,"
"Thank you,"
"kylie, if you need your pills, please ask."
"Ok."
"Good, he smiles"Ok we all ready?"
"Yes, let's go,"
