Facing Death (FINISHED)

Chapter-15

My legs worked!!!

In other words, I can move them and I can feel them. And it's only been a week and a half! I don't have to see that instructor anymore, but I do have to talk to the school shrink every Friday. I didn't care as long as I didn't have to go through the physical toucher Dimitri put me through. It was like having a 700 pound person run a marathon the first time they stepped out of their house. But it eventually got better and now that I don't need it anymore I can sleep in. Mum laughed at that, but my dad didn't. He hasn't been to happy since he found out Asher had been sneaking in and sleeping in my room with me at night.

But besides my dads bad mood, everything was going great. Me and my brothers are always joking with each other, and I don't think that'll ever stop. My mum is still trying to treat me like I'm a piece of glass, never letting me do anything without help. It's annoying, but I love her. Alice has came over a couple times to ask how I was and to let me know she's worried. Josh has been texting me saying he'd come over when he could, but football practice and finals is keeping him-but I have a feeling he's just grounded or something. That boy hasn't studied a day in his life.

Yep! Everything is going right. And I hope nothing changes that.

Don't you just love waking up before the birds, taking a shower half asleep, tripping over yourself to get dressed, stuffing you face full of food, and finally getting on a stinky bus to go to a place every teenager hates?

No? Me too.

Ash had helped me get all my homework over the past week, so today I had to turn it all in. I was done with it all in a little less than two days. I would have been done sooner, but I had physical therapy and Ash wouldn't leave my side for a second longer than he had to, so we messed around a lot. It wasn't to bad, all that homework, but when you have a family of active people, all they ever want to do is go play outside or something.

"Speak of the devil." I say as Ash walks to my locker. We have about five minutes in between every class, and since my next class was next to my locker he'd normally come and talk to me.

"This devil?" He asked and pointed to himself with a smirk.

"No, Michael." I tease. He growls as he comes closer, grabbing me waist and crashing my body into his possessively and wrapping his arms around my body and crushes my body in a hug. I liked it when he wasn't a fraud to show we were together, but sometimes he could be a little over the tope. A small smile came to my lips at his playfulness, but what comes out of his mouth next makes me glare.

"Mine." He growls. I shake my head at his stupidity.

"Excuse me?"

"Uh-"

"Say that again and you won't be staying at mine tonight."

"Never mind." He says with a bug ass grin. I laugh at him as the first bell rings. He walks me to my class before walking to his. I still had a smile on my face as I stepped into the room and headed to the back corner by the window. Alice came in a few minutes later, but instead of her normal happy expression, she had tears running down her cheeks and bags under her eyes.

She sat down beside me, but before she could say a word I pulled her into a hug. No one was inside the class room besides our teacher and us. Mrs. Allen said we could go to the bathroom before she started class, so I took Alice to the restroom as the final bell rang and students piled in. They looked at us funny, but my mind was on my friend and what I could do to help her.

We walked in to see a few girls, so I politely ask them to leave. "Can y'all stop hoeing around for a few minutes and leave! You guys have enough makeup for an army. You don't need no more!"
