Sitting in my window, I watched the world go by. Lifting my leg a bit, I could feel the feeling coming back to my legs. The problem was that I had no memories of what landed me in the wheelchair. The problem with this is that I believe my family had something to do with this.
Chapter 1
Waking up, I heard my family moving around the house, starting their day. I sat up and slid myself to the side of the bed. Pulling my legs to the side of the bed, I slid myself into my wheelchair. Wheeling myself to the bathroom. Once I was done, I wheeled into my room, and started a cup of coffee, and looked at the sliding glass doors to my room.
There was a knock at my door and I said, "Come in."
My Mom walked in and said, "Hello, Amy, did you sleep well?"
I thought to myself and thought wow Mom you are being so formal. Fake it Amy. Looking up I said, "I sure did mom."
"I am dropping your siblings off to school," She said. "Do you need anything before Fred and I leave?"
"Yes," I said. "Where did my cell phone and laptop go?"
Fred walked in and said, "They are right here, Amy. You left them in the kitchen yesterday."
Taking them, I said, "Thank you, Fred."
Mom said, "See you later."
I heard Mom and Fred call out to my younger siblings, and then the front door closed. Wheeling to my small table, I opened my laptop. I noticed that someone tried to log into my system, and it showed login attempts failed, try again. Chuckling to myself, I pulled the camera capture up and saw that my Mom was trying to log in and became very angry that she could not log in.
Fred came up behind her, and she hurriedly closed the laptop. I logged in and checked my email. Looking at the emails, I saw one from my college roommate Sam.
Amy,
Girl, how are you doing? Listen, do you think we can meet up? I need to speak with you, and I cannot be around your Mom. Trust me, this has to be kept secret.
Sam
Pulling out my phone, I called Amy. She picked up right away and said, "Oh my god, Amy! It is so good to hear from you. Are you alone?"
"Yes," I said. "I want to get out of here so bad."
"Are you presentable to go out?" She asked.
Laughing, I said, "I will need to get dressed. How long till you get here?"
"Girl, I am getting in my car now," She said. "I will text you as soon as I get there. I am hoping your mom will not be there as she creeps me out."
I chuckled and said, "Well, I cannot wait to hear all about it."
I had only just finished getting ready when my Mom and Fred got home. My Mom looked at me and asked, "Amy, are you going somewhere?"
"Yes," I said. "Sam is coming to get me and we are going to get some coffee."
Fred walked in and said, "Well, that sounds like fun. You need to get out with your friends."
He took cash out of his wallet and placed it in my hand. I said, "Fred, I am good."
He chuckled and said, "I know, but let your almost dad treat you once in a while"
I did a dramatic sigh and said, "Fine fred."
He kissed my forehead and said, "Good girl. Remember I am driving you to Tom's house later tonight. He said he would be home after seven and has your room set up downstairs now."
My mom wrinkled her nose and said, "You could stay here Amy."
"I would love to see Dad," I said. I saw Sam pull up and said, "My ride is here."
Fred said, "I will help you out and then I am heading to the office for a while."
He kissed my mom and steered me outside. He saw Sam and said, "Sam thank you for getting our girl ot of the house."
She smiled at Fred and said, "Of course, Fred. We will not be out late I have to work tonight."
"How is the hospital?" He asked. "You know I will always give you a reference if you need it. My sister was a nurse, and the stories she told me."
He lifted me into Sam's car and placed my wheelchair into the back of the SUV.
