Unlikely To Be But Not Impossible

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

"Come on Molly, just a few more steps. I promise if you take 10 more steps, you can go lay down for the rest of the night".

It is 9pm. It's not like I can do anything else. "Really, Molly" Bec smirks at me. Shit I said that out loud.

"Mmhmm" she winks at me.

Have I told you how bossy therapists are. It's been 6 months of torture with her. "Molly, you know you got to stop saying your thoughts out loud. It could get you into some serious trouble".

Right. I really need to stop that. " Bec, I can't do this anymore today". I give her the best puppy dog face I can muster, knowing full well that she will cave in.

"Alright go sit down". She helps me to my chair, as I still can't walk without support. It's been 6 months and I've had to learn to walk all over again. Alex wasn't hurt physically as much from the accident, as he didn't get the full impact of the crash. He is more mentally scarred from it.

"Have you spoken to Alex today?". My mood suddenly drops, thinking about my little brother. He hasn't spoken a word to anyone but me and Bec, since he woke up in the hospital.

"No, I haven't had a chance to talk to him. I will when I go to his room." Alex and I were put into a home for ophaned children, until our court case with Bec tomorrow.

"Well, tomorrow is going to be a long day. We both should get to bed early tonight." Her motherly instincts start to kick into gear. I gather up my things and pack them into my backpack.

"Let's get you to your room". Bec helps me into my room to pack away my things from the day. she walks over to my bedside table and takes out my pills. " Here take your medication" She hands me my pain medication and a bottle of water.

"Alright Molly. I'll be here in the morning to pick you and Al up. My son is coming with us tomorrow". She hugs me and crushes my bones.

"Ok Bec. Thank you for everything. You don't even realise how much you've done for me and Alex". Her eyes glisten with water and she smiles a honest and true smile one I haven't seen in a long time.

"Goodnight darling, I'm just going to see if Alex is ok. Then I'll leave." she tells me as she walks out the door, switching off the light.

Buzz...Buzz

"Ughhh" I groan, opening my eyes and quickly closing them, as the suns rays blind me.

I get up and slide off my bed into my wheelchair. A new skill I have recently learnt to do by myself.

Today Is the big day. We find out if Bec can take us in and become our legal guardian, until I turn eighteen. In two years as I recently turned 16.

I wheel down the hallway to wake Alex up. I knock on his door and when I get no response I know he is still asleep. I open the door and wheel myself in towards his peaceful sleeping body.

"Alex. Wake up" He groans and rolls over. " Come on Al. Get up" I gently shake him.

He stirs and groans in reply, to let me know he heard me. I take that as my cue to get out.

I wheel myself into my bathroom. The shower was specifically designed for me because I can't stand for long. I slide into the seat and turn the water on.

I look down and notice all the scars on my body. My eyes start to water from the reminder of what happened six months ago.

I realised that my body will always be damaged. I will always have that as a reminder of what I lost.
