Chapter 19: World of Chances

It's finally the day of the assembly. My heart rate has been high all day because of my excitement. The nurses have been trying all they can to get it to lower, but it hasn't worked. I've been really nervous but excited all at the same time. I hate being stuck in this hospital because I never get to see anything. No wonder people don't want to go here. I'm surprised people can even be cured here. I am going crazy. Even with all the visitors I have gotten every day, I can’t get over the hatred I have for being in here for a long period of time. I’d rather be at home, but I can’t exactly be healed from a stab wound at home. I can’t exactly move very much either.

"Would you calm down," the nurse said walking in, "We might change our minds on going to the assembly."

"You can't do that can you?" I asked.

"Yes," she said, "so calm down."

"Okay fine, but come on I'm excited!" I said. "It's the big assembly. The one I have been planning!"

"I understand that," the nurse said, "just try to calm down."

"Okay," I said, "I'm sorry."

"Good then I'll let your guest come in," she smiled.

"You set me up!" I shouted as she started walking out.

"Yes I did," she laughed.

I just smiled and shook my head. She's been my nurse every day since I got in here. We've gotten to know each other pretty well. She will even come on her break occasionally to keep me company when my friends and family aren’t here. My family and friends don't visit during the day a lot because they have work and school which I completely understand. David's the only one who has visited every day and that's because he's my brother. No matter what, I know he was worried and I know he's always going to be there for me. He’s my best friend. My thoughts were interrupted when Dylan came into the room.

"You ready?" he asked.

I smiled at him and pressed my call button for the nurse to come in.

She walked in and laughed, “I’m ready.”

“Yes!” I cheered.

“What did I tell you?” she chuckled.

“Right,” I tried to compose myself, “Sorry.”

Dylan laughed along with her, “What’s going on?”

“Apparently my heart rate is too high because I’ve been so nervous and excited for this.”

He shook his head, “Why doesn’t that surprise me?”

It took a while for them to get me ready to go, but I was finally at the school. The nurses were wheeling me with the wheelchair and Dylan was right next to me. The assembly has been going on for around ten minutes. We arrived at the perfect time. We reached the gym door and Dylan opened it for us. The nurses wheeled me in and Dylan was walking right in front of me. I heard a lot of gasps and talking as I entered the gym. The 13 "victims" as they were now called were sitting in the front of the gym across from the teachers. The principal was at the microphone and her jaw dropped when she saw me. All my new friends screamed and ran towards me. It turned into a big group hug and they were all crying. I cried with them and the nurses helped separate us and they wheeled me towards the principal with Dylan still following. The principal just stood there and smiled at me. I don't think she knew what to say. She slowly handed me the microphone, but before taking it the nurses helped me stand up. I wanted everyone in the school to get the full effect. It took five minutes but I finally stood up. I probably should have practiced, but I was too scared before. I got one sharp pain and Dylan caught me. I heard the entire school gasp. The nurse tried to set me down, but I refused. I leaned onto the microphone stand and took the microphone from the principal.

"By now I know everyone knows about me being stabbed. A lot of people would have disagreed to me coming here today...so that's why I didn't tell them. This school has to know what bullying has done. It has torn us all apart. We are all running from our lives trying to save ourselves, but not thinking about all the people it's actually hurting,” I looked over at my friends and they all had tears in their eyes from seeing me here today.

“I know exactly why I was stabbed. I was stabbed because I'm not going to stop until the bullying is stopped. I thought of a way to stop it. I thought of a way to get everyone to realize how horrible bullying really is. These 13 people don't deserve to be bullied and I feel responsible because I'm the one it started with,” Dylan put his hand on my shoulder to support me.

“The bullies here brought me down and made me feel so small that I started cutting. They called me fat so I stopped eating. I got depression, anorexia, and couldn't stop cutting. I'm healed now, but I'm not going to let it happen to anyone else. I thought no one was there for me, but I was wrong. That's exactly why I'm not going to stop now. Bullying needs to stop and this is why,” I said.

I turned towards the screen and the video started playing. While it began, the nurses helped me back into the wheelchair and we all had our eyes locked on the screen... except me. My eyes were looking around at the school; trying to figure out what their reactions were and how they were going to respond. Most of them were surprised....and shocked...until I got to the group of bullies... I knew they wouldn’t be happy. They never are.
