Take My Hand

Chapter 2

'Charity'
I didn't tell Daniella what happened with Jeston a couple of days ago. after all I always keep my promises.

After school Dani drove me to the rehabilitation center. I still go everyday as a active member, it keeps me active and also I'm still able to do photography. Before I lost my eyesight I loved photography. I excelled in my advanced photography club.

Now I can barely take a picture without someone helping me. Doesn't mean I have to stop doing what I love though.

"Thanks Dani. " I said getting out of her car.

"No problem. You sure you'll get back home alright? You know I can always come back here, to take you back home. It's not out of the way for me." Dani said. I'm so lucky to have such a great friend.

"No I'm alright. Thanks for the offer though." I smiled, pulling out my walking stick.

"Okay, have fun alright."

"Don't I always." I closed the door and I could hear her car drive away.

I walked carefully up the stairs, moving my stick to insure I don't fall.

"Hey, Charity! It's Flo, I'm on your left. How are you doing?" I smiled, hearing the voice of one of my favorite nurses ever.

"Hi Flo! I'm alright. How about you?" I asked turning towards my left a little.

It's nice to be able to roughly face the direction of people I'm talking to. Even if I can't see them.

"I'm great! In fact I have news. I haven't told anyone yet so you'll be there first person I told....I'm pregnant. " She whispers the last part of her sentence. And I'm jumping for joy inside.

"Flo! That's amazing, congratulations." I smiled, thinking about the new little life that's about to come.

"Thanks, Charity! I'm really nervous but so excited at the same time." I held out my arms for Flo and she gave me a gentle hug.

"I'm so so happy for you and John."

"You should have seen his face when I told him. He was so stunned." Flo laughed, as she pulled away.

"I bet he was!" Flo and John have been wanting a baby for so long now. He must have been overjoyed when he found out.

"I took a video of his reaction, I'll send it to you later. But you better head inside before your late for class. Apparently there's a young boy and his mother that have just joined the class. Mister Frezno is is really stressed, apparently this boy is a little difficult to deal with at the moment." Flo sighed.

If he's new and young he must be going through alot. It's understandable when people first join, that they're a little on edge. Like me when I first joined.

"Mister Frezno had a hard time, with me to remember." I laughed remembering what a snarky sarcastic girl I was, when I first found out I was going blind. Boy was I handful!

"That's true" Flo laughed.

"I'll talk to him, maybe making a friend here will make him more comfortable." I said, knowing how important it is not to go through these things alone.

"Thanks charity your a doll. I'll see you if I'm free after my physical therapy session."

"Alright, Bye Flo." I smiled again before entering the Center.

For some reason the smell of this place never really sat well with me. Suddenly I hear someone walking towards me.

"Excuse me miss, there's no one at the front desk so I was wondering if you could help me. Do you work here?" The lady asked.
