ATTENTION READERS FROM THIS POINT ON SOME CHAPTERS WILL HAVE POINT Where THEY SWITCH BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN TARA AND DEVAN'S POINT OF VIEW!!
THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT BACK TO THE STORY.

*Devan's point of view*
I got in my car and pulled out of the driveway. I saw her watching me from the front door. When I was on the road I called Collins. My phone connected to the Bluetooth in my car and Collins's voice came on the radio.
"What's up bro?"
"Um remember that girl in the wheelchair, Tara, Well I think I am in love with her." I said with the biggest smile on my face.
"Woah Bro, That's great when are you going to ask her out?"
"Um when I get the courage."
"So never." he said laughing.
"Yeah whatever bye." I said hanging up. I thought about Tara until I got home. Then I thought about her some more. I finally decided to call her. I was so happy when she answered in seconds.
"Hey Dev! What's up?" I panicked when she called me Dev. The last person to call me that was my ex. "Hey Tara. I just wanted to talk to you. I hope you had fun today. I know I did." I told her.
"OMG are you kidding!! I had the best time. I hope we can hang out on Monday. I wish we could hang out tomorrow but Chase is taking me shopping because she says I "have no style"." she laughing. I loved her voice. It was like silk rubbing against your skin. It was so soft and gentle. We talked until about 11:00. I didn't want to hang up so before she had the chance I said something.
"Tara, don't fall asleep." I told her. "Ok?" she replied sounding confused.
I was going to surprise her.

*Tara's point of view*
It was 11:00 and I was the only one awake.When I got home Alexander had surprised me crutches. Were they better than the wheelchair? HELL YEAH! But were they better than walking on my own? No. I couldn't wait till I could walk. Devan had called me a couple hours ago and we have been talking ever since. At the end of the call, he told me something really weird. He told me to not fall asleep. I was curious as to what was going to happened so I made some coffee and prepared for whatever was ahead. I cuddled up on the couch with my phone on the charger and a soft blanket covering me. I was still in my pajamas and I was wearing my hair in a messy bun. For 11:00 at night that was as ready as I was going to be. It was sometime around midnight when a heard a car horn outside of my house. I looked out the front window and Devan's car was outside. This had to be a dream. I grabbed my crutches and walked carefully down the steps of my porch. As I hopped in the car I asked him where we were going. He said you'll see. We drove around for about 20 minutes when we pulled up to Walmart. I was surprised they were open this late. We walked in and Devan pointed to the movie aisle.
"We are going to have a movie night." he said. He walked down the movie aisle and I walked down the snack aisle. When we met up at the register there were some conflicts.
"You got horror movies!?!" I said. "Yeah, You got Gummy Bears and Warheads!?!?" he said
"Yeah." I replied laughing.
'You know what we will buy what we want and deal with it." he said slowly walking to keep.up with my slow self. I couldn't walk very fast with my crutches. We got to the check out and of course we had to buy pop. Before I knew it we were in front of his house. Instead of going into his house we walked through the back gate where a couch, a sheet and a video projector were set up. There was also a cooler and some pretty lantern lights. I sat down on the couch and Devan put in a movie. Was this another date?? I thought to myself. He went into the house to go make popcorn and get blankets and I sat outside waiting for him to get back. He returned with 2 blankets, a big bucket of popcorn and bowls full of candy. He played the movie and we sat in his backyard both in pajamas. I started to shiver before the previews were even half way over.
"

Tara if you are cold you can come share my blanket. It is thicker than yours. I scooted over and next thing I knew Devan's arm was holding me tight as his blanket was draped over the both of us. I laid my head down on his chest and I slowly felt my eyes closing. I woke up at about 9:00 but I was on my couch. Maybe it all was just a dream. I went to go get some breakfast only to find Devan and Alexander in the kitchen chatting over a cup of coffee like old friends. I was so confused. Did all that happen or was it all just a dream?
"Hey guys. What's going on?" I said yawning.
"Devan and I were just talking. He told.me about your movie night." He said.
"I just wanted to do something nice for you after all you have been through." he said smiling.
I walked out of the kitchen absolutely dumbfounded. I carefully walked up the. stairs with my crutches and go dressed. Chase picked me up and Devan and Alexander were still talking. When we got to the store, I told Chase about everything that happened in the past day or so. Something was wrong with her. In a normal situation she would of been jumping up and down scream but she just shrugged her shoulders. We were at the store for about 5 hours trying out clothes and buying clothes till our bank accounts were drained. By the time we got home, I had 3 bags of clothes and 1 bag of shoes. Chase helped me with my bags and then she left. Alexander was so mad when I walked through the door. He took my bags up to my room and when he came back downstairs he just stared at me.
"Get in the car you have your first physical therapy class." he said. I thought he was going to yell at me. I limped to the car and we weren't more than half way down the street when the most random thing came out of his mouth.
"Are you and Devan dating?" he asked.
"First of all, Where did that come from? Second of all no!" I said.
"Alex, I don't even think he likes me like that." My smile quickly faded and I looked down. Then I realized something I had never noticed before. My thighs were huge. I never really payed attention to my body anymore. I also realized my stomach was round, not flat. Just when I thought my depression was gone. My calves had also gotten bigger. I suddenly got self conscious again.
"Tara? You ok?" Alex asked me.
"Yeah, are my anti-depressants still in the glove box?"
"Yeah." Without hesitation I popped some in my mouth and Alexander changed the subject
"Why aren't you guys dating thought? You do like everything together and he always takes on dates." he said
"Dates? Not even! We just hang out." I shot at him.
"Oh yeah cause picking you up in the middle of the night to go watch a movie in his backyard is just hanging out." He said laughing and turning into the parking lot of the physical therapy building.

I felt like the closer we got to the doors the more my heart raced. Surprisingly, my session went well. My trainer's name is Autumn and her assistance is her twin Tatum. They are so nice. Their eyes are green and they both have black hair with dyed ends. Autumn's ends are dyed pink and Tatum's are red. They both have that smile that hypnotizes you if you look at it long enough. Anyway, my session lasted about 2 hours and did those 2 hours go fast. The good news is that Autumn with how fast of a learner I am and with my.wound almost healed I could be walking by Christmas or sooner.

Alexander and I drove home. I was still feeling super self-conscious. The whole car ride I looked at my thighs, stomach and calves. I felt horrible now that I noticed it. As soon as we got home I went upstairs to try on all my outfits. I looked horrible in all of them. I couldn't do anything but sit on my bed and cry. Then I heard a knock on my door. 
"Who is it?" I yelled trying to sound alright.
"It is Devan." I heard from the other side of the door. I got it together and opened the door.
"Holy Shit! What happened in here!?" He asked
"Um I had a little fashion show and they all look horrible on me." I said laughing.
"They can't look that bad. Pick out 5 outfits and go try them on. Then I will be the judge of whether or not they look bad." he said smiling. It felt weird hearing him say that. I shut the door on his face and changed into the first outfit. I picked out a white sweater with blue jeans and an infinity scarf. When I limped out on my crutches his face went blank.
"Wow...." he said with a tone of disbelief. "Tara, you look amazing."
"I look like an upside down bowling pin!" I yelled back.
"Tara you do not!!" he said.
"Yes I do my thighs are too big, my stomach is too big, my waist looks terrible and look at my back," I said turning around, lifting up my shirt a little, "I have dimples on my back." I plopped backwards onto my bed. I could hear Devan walk through the door. He sat next to me on the bed.
"Tara, where did all this self- consciousness came from but it needs to stop. You are beautiful, and anyone who tells you otherwise is retarded." He said to me. I smiled.
"And those little wrinkles under your eyes are beautiful too. Every part of you is perfect." He said. I sat up. Without thinking I wrapped my arms around Devan and just started crying.
"Devan I don't know what I would do without you." I said. He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me even tighter. I don't know if he felt the same about me but I was in love with him. Nothing could change that.
I never wanted to let go of Devan but I had to.
"Omg! It is 11:00! Alexander is going to be so mad you better go!" I said.
"Do you need anything before I go?" he asked.
"Devan you do---"
"Tara, What can I get you?" he said interrupting me.
"Well can you get me a cup of tea?" I asked.
10 minutes later Devan came back with my tea and I was in bed.
"Goodnight Tara." he said gently while shutting the door. I slowly drifted off to sleep and all I dreampt about was Devan. I realized I was in love with him💘
