The Punch

Chapter 26

I woke up, sat up and ate breakfast, then they wheeled me off to the therapy room, where their was bars on the walls everywhere, prosthetic legs all lined up against the wall. The the really nice therapist pushed me towards the legs and let me pick out one. I pick one that was blue and it had a skin colored foot in it. She put it on me and she held out her hand and I took it and then she pulled me up slowly, I stood up, smiling, she had her hand on my back, and on my arm, then she started to walk me towards two bars in the middle of the room. She walked me to the middle, I fell down a few time but I got up. I held onto the bars and I started to walk, I felt like a giraffe.

After 3 hours of just walking she took my hand and she walked me faster, then she got faster and before you know it I was running. She retaught me how to live with my condition. Then I go in the wheel chair and they pushed me back to the room. Then I laid down in my bed and looked at Reva, she had a Hufflepuff beanie on her head. Then it fell off and I saw what I was not expecting to see, she was bald. She looked at me smiling, I smiled back, she looked at my blue leg, I smiled.
" I have a different kind of thing you have." I said while taking off my leg. She smiled,
" I thought I was the only one" she said
" your not alone Reva"
" what house are you in?" She asked me
" Slytherin" I answered
" Hufflepuff" she said proudly
Then we got in a long conversation about Harry Potter, I felt like was a sister to me.
" goodnight Alex" she said to me as she fell asleep
" goodnight Reva" I said back and then I laid down and fell asleep. I know I don't really know her but I fell like she's my little sister.
