***************

'Cheryl?' asked Mesilande as she entered my room. My mom was about to give me a bite of the stinky porridge she made for me. Hey, i loved my mom's cooking skills, just that i hated porridge. 

'Yeah?' i asked. She smiled, 'Alice is up.' I shrieked, 'Let's go meet her!' i said, i was already on my wheel chair because Mesilande was going to take me for a walk so i just sat on my wheel chair because it wasn't that hard to get up from it like it was from the bed. I started turning the wheels but they wouldn't move. I looked back to my mom giving me a flat face and holding my wheel chair back. 'MOM?' i asked. 

'Finish this first.' I groaned and ate it all up in ten minutes. i quickly wiped my face, and raced out of my door. 'I swear i've never seen her so un-calm. My daughter is a contained and calm person, i think the accident has somehow effected her brain in a wrong way. She has become very emotional and expressive,' i heard mom say from the room and stopped. Mesilande laughed. 'Oh, don't worry. She just went through a bad time. She'll get better, and don't you think it's nicer now that she is letting loose and being more active? I think she is a wonderful girl,' said Mesilande. 

'Yeah,' mom replied, 'Not that i don't love her this way......' i didn't stop to hear further and moved on. I was eavesdropping, which is a bad habit. Although i wanted to hear what else they were talking about, and my brain even tried to bribe me, you can stay, remember you're letting loose?  Shut up brain, i'm going to meet Alice. 

'Alice!' i said entering the room. 'Cheryl?' she asked in a low voice, looking at me from her bed, i nodded. She was still weak so her voice was low but i could still hear the happiness. 'How are you feeling now?' i asked going closer. 'Much better,' she said in the same hoarse voice. It was Sunday, and it had almost been a week since we had come into the hospital. Phew, tough thing. I had been trying to walk from two days, and now I was able to get on the wheelchair by myself.

'Oh my God, I missed you,' I said and went forward to hug her. She smiled widely, but I retreated back as I saw the doctor beside her giving me a threatening look. I didn't want to hurt her in any way so I just held her hand slowly.

'I missed you too,' she said. 'Alice? Do you remember me telling you about....' I asked her but she cut me off.

'Telling me about you letting loose and me making a very good decision of staying like the book you were reading. Is that so?' she completed my sentence as I stared at her bewildered.

'Yes!' I said.

'Oh Gosh, I thought I was dreaming. Nevertheless, I was in a beautiful place with flowers where I could just hear your voice,' she said weirdly.

'You must be dreaming,' I told her smiling.

'No. No, it was real!' she tried.

'Okay, I believe you,' I said. Along with the good girl of the group, I tended to be the mom as I broke no rules and told everyone to abide by them too. And it wasn't just me who believed every thing anyone from our group said, everyone of us did the same. That was rule one, trust every single group member. Trust, is important.

'Yay,' she said in a low voice making me laugh. She hissed, exactly what was happening with me in the early days. 'Don't,' I told her.

She nodded and we talked for a lot of time, with me saying the most of it as the doctor disallowed her to talk so much. I told her about my date and she was over the moon about it.

'When is that jerk taking you out?' she asked.

'I don't really know, and hey, he's not a jerk anymore.'
