Warning: final part!! Enjoy :)
It had been a few days later. Rainbow's wounds and bruises were healing. She could finally walk on her own. She could see out of both eyes. Only faint bruising on her body and healing cuts were visible. She was healing.
But she still wasn't talking. She had been seeing therapist for a few days. She continued to use the notepad to write down what she wanted to say. No one pushed her. They let her be and were patient. It had only been a couple of days after all. No one could be completely healed mentally and physically after only a few days after something like that.
Rainbow did open up a little, though. She wasn't as afraid of guys as much anymore. Of course, she was still having nightmares and the doctors had to start giving her medication to put her to sleep at night. Just until she stopped having nightmares and she could finally go to sleep on her own. They didn't want her to become dependent on them. That'll cause an addiction.
The therapist also noticed that Applejack was helping Rainbow. Rainbow was far more calmer and less afraid when Applejack was around. Applejack had admitted that Rainbow does make sounds and noises or somewhat speak to her every once in a while. Kind of like a child that doesn't know how to use their words to communicate.
The therapist recommended that Applejack continue to encourage Rainbow to speak, reminding her that she doesn't have to if she doesn't feel ready to.
As the days went on, Rainbow slowly recovered from her wounds and bruises. She was deemed healthy enough to go home, but had to come every week for therapy.
Applejack quietly zipped up Rainbow's back. She stood up, picking the bag up and hauling it over her shoulder, her own bag in her opposite hand. She took a glance around the hospital room to see if they missed anything. Nope. They got it all.
"Here."
Applejack turned around. Jackson had walked in. He walked up to his daughter.
"I'll take those for ya. You go help Rainbow."
Applejack handed him the bags.
"Thanks." She mumbled before walking out of the room. She walked into the hallway to find Rainbow and the other girls. Applejack stood there and watched Rainbow. The teen was grinning as she listened to Pinkie talk about whatever is was. Applejack wasn't paying attention. Applejack noticed something about Rainbow. She was smiling yet there was a curtain look in her eyes. She wasn't okay.
AJ made a mental note keep a close eye on her and check up on how she was feeling every so often. That's what the therapist wanted her to do as well. Write a journal entry or something about how Rainbow's doing and her behavior or anything odd that Applejack notices around Rainbow.
"Alright." Applejack jumped, the hairs on her arms raising.
She quickly whipped her to the right. She saw Jackson standing there.
"Let's go. Rainbow Dash is home free."
Applejack pulled on a smile and walked up to Rainbow.
"Cmon." She said.
She took Rainbow's hand. They all headed out of the hospital and to the parking lot. Rarity had brought her car that day so she, sunset, and Pinkie rode in that car. Applejack, Rainbow, Jackson, Strike, Fluttershy, and Twilight went into Jackson'a car.
