Into The Unknown

Chapter 13

Abigail's POV

"Okay Abi you're doing great just one more and then we can try taking some steps" Debbie said as she took a step back and watched me lift myself off the bed and stand on my feet for about 3 minutes. It had been the 5th time I had repeated this activity, you see the thing is Debbie was my Rehabilitation nurse. She was helping me regain the strength in my legs, even though I had only been off them a few days Debbie said I would need to put the pressure back on them gently.

"That's fantastic Abi well done, now how would you feel about taking about few steps?"

"Do you think it can?"

"Yes of course you are a superstar, a few small steps takes you closer to a full recovery. You are doing brilliantly if you carry on like this we should have you up and about in a couple of weeks"

I didn't reply I just concentrated on moving my feet forwards "Debbie said even though there was no damage to my spinal cord I would still need to do these exercises just to remind my brain how everything works. This was good enough for me "What are out my dancing?"

"Not right away but yes I shouldn't see it being a problem, you might find your balance is a bit off to begin with though, your brain is still coping with being awake" Debbie smiled as she kept taking steps backwards. I didn't realise how close to the door we were until I looked up "See I told you, you're doing brilliantly"

Debbie led me by my hands back to the bed, as I sat down I heard my phone ring. I looked towards Debbie and she gestured for me to answer it "I'll fill in your notes"

"Hello" I am a little cautious when I answer, the caller has private id.

"Hey honey it's Harry, I am calling from My FM studios. Ben wants to know if you would be up for a telephone interview in an hour?"

"Don't see no reason why not" I reply.

"Great I will let him know, don't worry its nothing intrusive. He just wanted to talk about the new series of Vampire Stories and obviously to see how you are and ask what happened?"

"That's cool, tell him to call whenever he is ready" I look at Debbie who is shaking her head "See you soon honey" I smile as is hang up "What?" I wonder why she is shaking her head.

"I honestly don't know how you can do what you do? Being famous I mean, it's like your whole life belongs to everyone else"

"Not my whole life" I smile as I look at the diamond wedding band on my wedding finger, my marraige is my own at least.

"Yes that's true, Ryan is lovely. I'm so glad you met someone like him in the end" I frown at Debbie and she blushes a little. "Sorry it's not my place, but I was a fan of yours for a long time..."

"Was?"

"Yeah well still am, but before I met you I thought you were this big American superstar, who was out of this world. But when you were first brought in and I saw Ryan and the rest of your family I realised you were a wife, daughter, mother just like the rest of us. I like to think of you as a friend now, not just an icon. I spent my whole life hoping to meet Abigail Jenson the famous actress, but I am more grateful that i got to know Abi Tedder, Ryan's wife, Freya's Mom and Stella and Franks daughter"

"Thank you" I wasn't sure what to say, but one thing is certain. This was possibly the nicest most eye opening thing someone had ever said to me. Maybe I wasn't an awful person after all.

X-x-x

My eyes opened slowly to the sensation of something vibrating against my leg. I reached out and grabbed my phone, I smiled when I saw it was Ryan. It was a video call, I answered it "Hey baby" I smiled as I looked at the screen.
