The Mute

Chapter 2

It has been about two months now since the accident, and we discovered that the only thing affectedly the paralysis was my arm, thankfully. I have gone through so much physical therapy and rehabilitation. I can now easily write with my left hand, but I still need help to do other basic things like getting dressed or making food. The worst thing about this whole situation that I'm in is that I don't have any family that wants me, so once I leave the hospital I will go into foster care and who wants a sixteen year old girl with right arm paralysis, I will probably jump from home to home and never find a family that will care for me, so why should I keep fighting when there is nothing left to fight for, well the answers simple, my parents never raised me to give up, so I won't, I will fight until my very last breath. 

"Hello earth to Juliet"nurse Clara said and snapped me back into reality. 

"Yeah, what is it what did I miss," 

"I said you have had enough work for today, we can go back up to your room." 

That is very odd seeing as normally we work for at least 2 hours and we have only been working for 1. "Oh okay why are we going back so early, and when we get back there will it be time for lunch?" I asked as my stomach started to rumble. 

She replied with, "Yes Hun, it will be time for you to eat, and doctor Jacob has something to talk with you about."

I wonder what he wanted to talk to me about, we haven't actually talked about anything for a while. maybe its about finally getting to leave the hospital, I though hopefully, but then I realized that it wouldn't be possible I have no where to go. If I leave it will be foster-home after foster-home, wondering if the family will keep me. Although that is doubtful seeing as I can't really dress myself just yet.

Nurse Clara and I walked back to my room slowly, when I got there I was instantly reminded if the life that I will never be able to lead again, with my guitar sitting in the corner of the room as well as all of my other two handed items that I haven't touched in two months. you see, when the doctors realized my parents weren't going to make it, but I was, the police packed everything from my house and brought it to the hospital for me to go through, I couldn't bring myself to sell my guitar, as it holds so many good memories of my family sitting around a campfire just singing, every time that I look at it I can help but let a sad smile play across my face.

Moments after Nurse Clara helped me change into more comfortable clothes, doctor Jacob walked in, with news that would eventually change my life, I was leaving. Not just leaving but that I was getting adopted.
