This is in Annie's point of view.
"W-w-w-what do you mean I can't walk?" I look up confused at my doctors. Why? Can't I walk. Then it hit me. If I can't walk I can't play volleyball. Great, I had my whole life figured out. I was going to lead my team into yet another undefeated season, get a volleyball scholarship to FSU, and become a second grade teacher. My plans are ruined.
"Annie, we had complications with your surgery. You will hopefully be able to walk again one day, but we can't be certain." Dr. Evans explained to me.
"No. I will walk again. I will play volleyball again. And nothing can stop me." I return. I was not kidding about this. I will do this soon.
My thoughts were disturbed by Matthew and yet again the whole varsity volleyball team. They were all in their prom dresses and Matthew in his suit. They each had a balloon with something tied to the end. Lots of them had candy or a nice note, but Matthew's had a basket with my prom dress in it. Why did he have that? I can't get my hospital bed, much less to prom right now.
"Annie, I didn't ask you to prom for you to just lay in the hospital during prom, so you're coming with me. Don't worry it's okayed by Dr. Evans." He said. Ugh he was the best boyfriend a girl could ever ask for. He didn't want me to miss out on my junior prom.
"Matthew, you are the best, but I'm gonna need some help getting ready for prom." I reply.
"We've got you covered." Claire and Brooke say in unison, pulling out a makeup bag, curling iron and a brush. They walk over to me and Matthew carefully picks me up making sure that my knee stays in the same position as it was and sits me into the wheel chair Dr. Evans rolled next to my bed. Soon after Matthew left, I guess to go finish getting ready for prom. Brooke and Claire rolled me into the newest bathroom and they slipped my dress onto my body. Brooke proceed to cake my fave with a beautiful full glam makeup look while Claire curled my hair.
When they were done they wheeled me out of the hospital to find a limousine with Matthew, Elliot, and Lucas inside. Elliot was Claire's boyfriend and Lucas was Brooke's. They were both on the baseball team with Matthew. The chauffeur drove us to the town square where we took lots of pictures. My favorite one that we took was when they all lifted up my wheelchair with me in it and I was queen for a minute. We took pictures for about an hour and the we drove to the school gym for prom.
We went inside and danced/ wheeled the night away cause it felt right. We danced and danced until Matthew caught me off guard and said, "Annie, I'm staying in Peachville for senior year." I couldn't help but gasp. He can't do this for me. I won't be able to live with myself.
"No your not its not safe. I love you so much, Matthew, but if you really love me then you have to go." I replied
"It is safe. My dad got put in jail right before your surgery. I'd been waiting for that day and it finally came." He smiled. I smiled back, looking up into his eyes from my sitting position.
We glared into each others eyes and in that moment I knew that my shattered pieces were brought together by the love me and Matthew shared.

AWWWWWW! How cute of Annie to make a title reference. But how adorable are they! Do I even have to type it at this point? Add to your reading list, vote, and comment what song that they should've danced/ wheeled to! Thank you!
