..."...Follow me, will you?...Follow me down until...I will admire...Oh, I need someone who will..."...

......FOUR WEEKS LATER......

The last month has been fairly uneventful. 

Faith is still working forty hours a week. 

Dad is still working fifty hours a week.

Jake even picked up some extra shifts at the stereo store.

And me...well...I'm still stuck in this damn wheelchair. 

My doctor put me on some different anti-depressants and they seem to be helping me without having any unpleasant side effects. My doctor also has me on a shit load of vitamins and after hours of research on the internet, I have found that, with the right foods and daily exercises, I might actually be able to start my physical therapy today and be lucky enough to get out of this chair a week or so early.

Three weeks ago, when I met with the physical therapist to access my injury, she broke the news to me that getting back on my crutches wouldn't come as easy as I thought it would. I figured in five weeks' time I would be able to just get out of this wheelchair and go back to using my crutches but sadly, that's not the case.

Jake was with me that day and I'm glad it was him that saw me have my little melt down in front of Miss Moore, instead of Faith or dad. 

Faith would have been too worried about me and dad would have totally freaked out; knowing him he would have sent me to the nut ward.

As much as I hated to lie to Faith about the incident, I just don't want her thinking she needs to watch me like a hawk. I'm not going to kill myself, I just had an exceptionally bad day. I did tell her, that I broke down in front of Jake and Miss Moore but I didn't go into details as to what extent.

"Why so quiet today Styles?"

"Just getting antsy, I think." I tell my best friend honestly.

"Try not to get your hopes up though. Miss Moore told you, it's going to take some time to get back on your crutches. I know you've been taking your vitamins and eating all this health shit but you still got your work cut out for you."

"I know." I say quietly.

"Too bad your girl couldn't come today."

"We won't be back in time for her to go to work."

"How have you two been doing?"

"Great, other than the fact, that she works all the time and I'm miserable because I'm stuck in this chair." I end up laughing because even to my own ears, it sounds like I'm whining.

"Me of all people, know how much that girl works. Between my work schedule and you two locking yourselves in your room when she doesn't have work, I haven't seen too much of you for the last two weeks."

"Awe, are you trying to tell me you miss me Anderson?"

"Don't make it sound like that but yes, I do miss you."

"I've missed you too Jake. School will be starting soon and then we will get to spend our senior year together. It'll be great."

"Do you think Faith will have a lot of the same classes with you?"
