Amy's Pov

12 more days, 12 days I have left to learn how to walk...

The staff is much nicer here than at the other place, They actually care for us here. And the other people staying here are nice too! A few people know the truth about why we are here, I don't want everyone to know.

"I still need to get you another book," Mark said walking into our apartment.

"It's okay, there are still pages left. It is so nice to be sitting in a chair and not a bed!"

"Yeah, it was also nice of them to move you to the apartment side and not keep you in that room." He sat next to me.

"Can we decorate it?"

"I can find some stuff to make it feel comfortable. What is your style?"

"No clue, I can look online and send you it."

"Sounds like a plan, so it is almost time to eat dinner what would you like?"

"Pizza."

"That does sound good, maybe I will order it and have it go to the front desk. Do you want cheesy bread with it?"

"Please."

"I will order then." He pulled his phone out an ordered.

"Food will be here soon I called the front desk and told them."

"Thank you."

"Do you want to try to walk today? The doctors said that your legs healed really nicely."

"Yeah."

He helped me up then looked me right in the eyes.

"Ryan, Kenny, and Jorden are not here, the only people in this room are you, Amy, and me, Mark."

"Thank you." I needed that, the voices are still there, still fucking with me.

"You ready?"

I nodded my head, yes, After about 20 minutes I have taken four steps. it's a start.

"Why do you push yourself so much to walk?" Mark asked carrying me to the couch.

"You leave in 12 days, I have 12 days to walk enough where if it is a setup and Tyler or Ethan can't get to me then at least I can protect my self or I can get somewhere safe."

Tears started to form in his eyes, he held me tighter.

"They will not get you."

"I know, they have no idea where we are. But with their history, they are trying to find us. We didn't think they would almost kill Sean who knows what they will do next. If I can walk to a weapon then I can help."

"Everything is going to be okay, I think when I leave we are going to move you to Tyler's house. They don't know where he lives and he can keep his eyes on you making sure no one hurts you."

He sat me on the couch, I pulled on his shirt, he got the hint. He sat down and had me sit on his lap.

"I like that idea, Tyler and Ethan seem really nice," I said laying my head on his chest.

"They are, and they will make sure no one touches you. We will have to sneak you in at night. He plays a lot of video games so maybe you guys can play together."

"That will be fun."

We didn't say much else, we didn't need too. we both knew what was coming up in the next few days.

8 days until Mark leaves, 8 days for me to walk. I can take about 10 steps then I need to sit down. Mark is helping me out a lot. some days we walk around the apartment, other days we will walk the hallways. the residents love seeing me walk around, they will open their doors and cheer me on, one guy even gave me his walker to help. I gave it back afterwards, he needs it more then I do. Mark has talked to Ms. Thomas and Tyler is to pick up my own walker, it has a seat on it so when I am in too much pain I can sit down. The scar on my tummy is almost gone, I can still see the K but Mark says it healed better then he thought. Maybe I can get a tattoo and hide it? I do have a scar from where he cut my child out of me. It would have been nice to have a kid, who knows where I would be though. I found some really cool décor items online, I showed Mark and he bought some of it. I feel bad because I don't have money to pay for ANYTHING but he keeps saying that everything is okay. that there is nothing I can do about it and that he is happy to buy it for me. I wonder if I can get a online job, I might need to finish schooling first,
