Never thought I'd get so into writing this story, so I genuinely hope you're enjoying it too. Also, this chapter is suuuuuper short, but the next one is good, so don't kill me. Don't forget to comment. Xx

Claire's point of view

I'm was so lost within my own mind that I couldn't even function. The countless things that were crammed into my mind are clouding my thoughts, and I lost all sense of reality, which made it impossible to grasp what happened. I was so confused even after all the countless explanations the doctor, and my boyfriend had given to me.

All that I could grasp was that I was in a head on collision with another driver, I had major breaks in my left leg and arm, and My spine and brain suffered tremendous injuries. The brain and spine damage was the cause of my six month long coma and not being able to move my legs. The doctor said it was miracle that I even woke up, but my doctor stated that the damage to my spine might be able to be repaired, and that was the only thing that gave me hope.

After going over all of this multiple times, I realized I might never walk, run, feel sand run through my toes, walk through grass...or walk down the isle. All I could think was; this can't be happening. Thinking about never walking down the isle started an avalanche of emotions I didn't know if I would be able to stop.

I handled everything else pretty well, but the possibly not being able to walk down the isle was what was slowly eating me away. It had been an hour since Ryan told me. An hour of emotional turmoil. An hour of torture. An hour since I realized I might never walk down the isle. I could feel the avalanche within in me. It was taking me deeper and deeper under, and I knew I wouldn't be able to dig out from underneath all the rubble if I never walked again.

Why did this bother me so much? It shouldn't, and I knew that, but ever since I was a little girl I had this perfect image of me walking towards the man I loved. It was going to be perfect, and now I couldn't figure it all out. This was going to break me down, and shred me to pieces, but it was my reality, and I have to deal with it.
