The first thing to heal was my knee. It came out of the brace after about two weeks of pt and nrain teasers. I feel dead.
Next, my ankle. Although it still needed a brace.
Then my shoulder. Now I was deemed healthy enough to go back to school physically.
Mentally, I had major issues. I have been having nightmares about what I was told not to remember, but ,y sudconsness did anyways. So now I'm in serious consouling. Dad says I'm cyber schooling until my concussions are somewhat healed. I also have migrqins all the time.
These are all health, not apperence.
My hair, once dark brown and slightly wavy, was now as black as that color that's blacker than black, and was board straight and down to the small of my back. My eyes, once light violet hues, was full on PURPLE, like amathyst colored. My sturdy build that was all muscle was now scrawny and very thin. My skin was paler than a sailer(sailers are really fuckin tan) but more like a ghost now, because I havwnt been able to leave the couch, unless it was pt.
I was recovering at an abnormally fast rate for a thirteen year old, but it took about a month and a half for everything besides mentality to heal. My concussions were fine, so I was allowed back in achool now, but I have to ise crutches and have a shoulder, knee and ankle brace on at all times, unless I'm sleeping.

Back to school

I woke up on the two momth mark of the accident.
Aunt may was in the kitchen, making pancakes.
"Katie? Are you awake?" She asked.
"Yes aunt may."
"Dr. Conners brought you some crutches. Today you go back to school. Your ahead of tghwm by about half a unit, but you'll be fine. You have to wear the braces the whole time though." She said chipperly.
"Sounds fun!" I said. What it acutally meamt was school is crap because Rylee was still Mesmeros little slave. I almlst teared up. Almost.
"I smell wheatcakes!" Dad yelled as he ran down the stairs.
He scouped me up in a huge hug and laughed his hearty noncocky home laugh. It always mkes my smile.
"Dad! Stop!" I giggled.
Aunt may frowned upon us, but thwn started to laigh to. Just slightly.
He set me down. "What's up Spider?"
"Going back to school for about two weeks then getting on thanksgiving break."
"Tjats great Katie!!" He said happily. Happiness radiated from him more than usual, because he's either extremly happy or sad when he looks at me. He's only sad when I spy on him from the couch.
I smiled. On the inside I was sobbing all the time, but there are suface layers when I do get happy, but now my core is sad.
"Cakes are done." Aunt may announced.
Dad was the first to sit down.
After cakies, I was lifted by dad to my room.
"Umm, I have crutches."
"Nope. When I'm home, you get carried."
"Why?"
"Cause I don't want you to fall. Flash Tompson once had to use crutches. He fell down the atairs at least once a week."
I could tell he was lying, but I let it slode.
"So. What to wear. I know!" I picked out my jeans that had all the iron on patches of stuff that I like. The shirt was dark grey and had 'i need my space" in blue on it. I also put on a Septiceye Sam flatbill hat. To finifh, I put in my neon green converse.
Before changing, I got a luke warm bath, with aunt mays help.

At school.

Dad dropped me off in his suv. He helped my get out and got me situated on the crutches. The air was buzzing with questions.
"Bye dad! Are you going g to pick me up?" I asked.
"Of course! Bye katie, have a happy first hour." He joked.
"Bye dad love you."
As he drove away, I walked(?) over to the spot Rylee and I used to meet. And sighed. I kimda just stood there for a few moments be fore Nelly came up to me.
"Hey Katie whereve ya been?" She asked, being all nosey.
"Maybe at lunch you can get the scoup, all roght?" I suggested passively.
"Common please! Midtown Tattler only has a few hours until it releases!"
"Ten put it in the afternoon one. Tgheres two for a reason." I say, still quiet.
"Nelly!" Some ninth grader called her to go.
She gave me a dkrty look and sasjayed away with her dorty blond hair boncing slight ly behind her.
"Katie!" It was my other friend, Alleah. She's an exchange studemt from ireland. :)
"Alleah! Hi." I say, still kinda sad.
"Where the hell have ya been? I've been worryin me are off about you and Rylee for the past for momths!"
"Well..."
"Well what? Are you afaid of me tellin all the news crews? Me secrets never leak!"
"Ok. So Rylee seggested we say the move Deadpool, when actually deadpool was holding the whole theatre hostage. Spiderman came in, and told everyone to get to the nearest exit. So we go out a side door. Oct bots are waiting there. We rip them tho shreads. Then the real dickbag comes in. Doc Oct throws rylee against a dumpster, and when she groans in pain he throws her down the allyway. And I already hated allies. But I got a good solid kick to the face in. He grabbed my leg and smacked me against the teatre wall. He said something creepy, now I forget, but it was sinister. He banged me againg the sidwalky gravel groung of the ally, then I was rendered unconsious. I woke up in something that was probably memeros basement. A flyin dodad came and injecter my with a relaxasion drug and took my blood. Then mesmero comes down and down comes...." I start to seriously tear up.
"It ok ladie take your time we've half an hour until jailwalk." Alleah said.
"Ok. I grimace. I shift my weight onto my cruches more than my foot.
"And right b-b-hind m-m-m-mesm-mero w-was a-a-a...a..a.." I burst into tears. "I'm so s-s-sorry Alleah! I j-j-j-j-jist c-cant do it r-r-right now!" Istart sobbing. I sink to a tgje bench were at.
Alleah sat down next to me and gave me a huge hug with her tiny arms. "Cheer up! It couldn't be too horrible!"
"It was Rylee!" I blurted out, still sobbing. "Rylee was hypnotized to obey Mesmero completly and blindly." I sobbed. For me I was shouting but to everyome else I was talking normally. "He made jer hypnotize me into being a slave for two months. I wasn't supposed to remember anything, but I've been having nightmares about my two months captive. I was rescured by spiderman, because my dad had put up missingb person reports all ove the place and he saw on. Odamadically he reconized the effects of hypnotizem and had me umhypnotyized-is that a term?-and took my to the meeting place they planed. Tghen dad took me home with my whole arm shattered, my head with a huge gash in it, like four concussions, and a spraimed knee and broken ankle. I need a shoulder and ankle brace still though, so my doctor gave me crutches. I-i-i just can't take it! Rylee is M-m-mesmer-r-ros slave for l-l-life!" I completly shut down.
Not menchioned earlier, if I get too worked up, I go on complete shutdown. I start sobbind and wheezing umcontrolably and start to say stuff really fast but in a murmur, and I hunch into the closet person or hudle under a blanket or something, and the events go by like a stobe light because I flsh in and out of consness decisions.
"KATIE!!! KATIE!! KATIE, KAtie! Katie! katie. Don't shut down down down down!" Alleahs word had an echoing efect. Someone in cradling me. I fade in and out of consinse.disecions, and I see a hand in my bag, a blanket almost out, the bag sealed, tjen I feel the warmth of a blanket surrounding me.
Usually I pass out here for.a few moments, but this time I start to shake, like, sezure. I feel tight, paniky. The shaking get violenter. Its leathalty grows with every passing second.
I feel a little stab at my lower leg. I almost instantly go as stiff.as a board. I felt myself.getting picked up. Even though I felt stiff, my muscles were totally limp. I suddenly blacked out.
