Liane's P.O.V

Numb.

All I felt was numbness. Everything was dark but I could hear hear all the sounds around me. There were people yelling, machines beeping and everything suddenly started moving at full speed. It seemed as if something was forcing !y eyes to stay closed so I let it. Soon the yelling stopped and it felt like everything had stopped. It felt almost peaceful, as if nothing was wrong except something didn't feel right with my body but I didn't know what. As my eyes were closed I felt myself being consumed by tiredness so I let it.

"Liane." A voice?

" Liane please wake up" it said again almost pleading

I opened my eyes only to see someone I never thought I would see again.

" Justin?" I said with my throat feeling tight and dry

"Oh thank God you're okay." He said tearfully "Let me go get the doctor." He said before running out the room yelling for a nurse or doctor.

I sighed deeply and stared blankly at the white ceiling until I heard my name being called. I looked up at the man I assumed to be the doctor in a white trench coat. His tired green eyes did not hide the gentleness that was in there. Despite probably haven't slept in days his blonde hair looked perfectly maintained.

"Umm miss Liane how are you feeling?" The man said interrupting my thoughts

"I'm fine just tired and my legs feel funny." I said while trying to move my legs with no success

He gave me a sympathetic look and cleared his throat "I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you are paralyzed from the waist down."

Before I could answer Justin jumped in "What? How did that happen?" He said exasperated

The doctor looked torn but answered anyway " Well even though she was hit from the side of was strong enough to dislocate her spine."

"Is there anyway to fix it?" Justin asked while looking at me

"The chances are slim to none but if you come in twice every week for the next few months to a year for therapy sessions, there may be something we can do."

I blanked out after that. Paralyzed? Is this what my life has come to after everything else that's happened to me? Why can't I catch a break I don't know what to do any more. With out even thinking about it I broke down. I cried until my eyes hurt and my lungs felt sore. The only thing keeping me pieced together was Justin holding me and stroking my hair.

What am I going to do now?
