I wake up this morning in my warm bed with the blankets bundle up around me.
I don't remember going into my bed that night.
Someone must have brought me in.
I sit up and rub my eyes as the sun shines against my window and into my room.
I grab my phone and look through my feed.
I reply to some people and tweet, then set my phone back down.
I have really been tired of everyone feeling like I need taking care of.
I take the covers off of me and then swing my legs over the edge, already feeling a sting in them.
I ignore it and gently put one foot on the ground then the other and feel sting rising up in my legs.
I stand up slowly and move one foot in front of the other.
I take two steps then begin to lose my balance.
I fall to the ground with a big thud, landing on the arm with the cast.
I silently lay on the ground crying.
I cry because of these stupid burns on my legs and stomach.
I cry because I can't do anything for myself for a while.
I cry because I'm alone.
Just then I hear footsteps rushing up the stairs and down to my room.
Matt comes rushing in with a shear look of panic.
"Shyra what happened?!" He asks helping me up and setting me on the bed again.
"I tried to walk." I say sniffing and wiping my eyes.
He hugs me tightly for a few moments then let's go and stands in front of me holding my hands.
"Get up." He says tugging on me.
"I'm gonna fall." I reply.
"I have you. I will never let you fall." He smiles.
I smile and get up feeling another sting in my leg.
I cringe but stand up anyway.
I take one step and steady myself.
I take another and another and another.
"Now try by yourself." Matt says and slowly let's go of my hands.
I take a slow step forward and manage to stay up.
I take one more and again stay up.
I take a step again and again and again.
Just on cue I start laughing uncontrollably.
I laugh and laugh as I walk around my room.
"I can walk!" I yell walking over to Matt jumping up onto him and he lifts me up spinning me around.
He sets me down slowly and then there's a knock at the door.
Shawn runs in with panic in his eyes.
"Shawn I can walk! I can do it!" I yell walking as fast as I can over to him.
"Oh my god you're walking!" He yells hugging me tight.
In a way I'm feeling sort of little kiddish getting so excited over walking but I haven't been able to for a while so it's been hard.
Without even thinking Shawn leans down, cups my face, and kisses me.
I pull away with shock in my eyes and stand there not saying anything.
What just happened?
"I think I'm gonna go see if everybody wants to do something while you guys...talk." Matt says eyeing Shawn.
