IM5 and Me

Chapter 16- Sweet Sixteen

14th May 2012

Today I got my casts taken off. I can't tell you how good it feels to be able to have a proper shower again. However, to my disappointment, the removal of the casts did not also mean the disappearance of the chair. I desperately wanted to at least try to walk, even with the aid of crutches but no. The doctors told me that due to how badly I broke my leg and the fact that I was unconscious for so long, they felt it would be better if I was eased into it by retraining my leg to work properly again.

Mom was off of work today but as of tomorrow she will be back to working her normal hours, which means I will be on my own all day from 9 till 6 every day until I'm fit enough to go back to school. In one way it will be good to be left alone for a while but I also get the feeling it's going to get very boring.

Everything is still good on the Dalton front. As far as I know me, Dalton and Will are still the only ones that know we are now actually together but I have a feeling the girls suspect something is going on that they don't know about and Cole gave me the funniest look on Saturday when we were all hanging out.

We've had to be very careful of what we do, especially around mom. I know how she will react and I really cannot be doing with a lecture at the moment.

It was quite good yesterday though because mom realized that we didn't actually have any food in the house so she needed to go shopping. Will and Dalton were already there anyway so it wouldn't seem odd that Dalton was suddenly there when she got back. Will really is an awesome friend. He even made an excuse to leave so that we could be alone.

Well that's all for today.

P.S. I will be counting down the days till my birthday and when Dalton and I agreed we would go public.

Mom went back to work today and enjoyed being on my own for about an hour before I realized how annoying it is when you have to keep lifting yourself in and out of the stupid wheel chair every time you want something that isn't in reaching distance.

However, I did take the opportunity to catch up on the doctor who I'd missed as well as watch some classic Buffy while doing all the homework I'd neglected over the past week.

That's all I have to report today

It's my birthday tomorrow!!!!!

I can't wait. I'm finally going to be16 which means I can learn to drive, get a job and have money of my own without having to rely on mom for my allowance. I know I technically could have got a job before but mom always told me I wasn't allowed until I was at least 16. Of course I will be unable to do any of that until I'm fully recovered but I'm hoping it won't be that long.

I've made plans with everyone for tomorrow. Everyone is going to come round for dinner and then stay the night and then going to the boy's concert on Saturday night. It's gonna be so cool. I've wanted to see them properly since they started but it's even better that it's the day after my birthday.

Of course this wasn't my original plan. I was going to have a party on the Friday night but because of everything that's happened in the last few weeks we thought it best to postpone it for a few weeks at least.
