I woke up screaming and thrashing around. I felt sweat running down my skin and realized that I was panting. I regretted falling asleep immediately because I had a nightmare. It included my Mom. She was floating all pale and white, almost see-through, not saying anything. just staring at me. With that look, she used to have when I did something really bad. May ran in looking panicked when she heard me screaming and asked if I was ok. I just nodded my head even though I knew I wasn't ever going to be ok again. She looked at me and I could tell she knew I was lying. So she stayed and took my heart rate and a few other things I was too tired to remember. May left after a while since she knew I was physically healthy. She had tried to get me to talk to her but I refused. Soon enough I could see the sunrise out of my little window. May walked in again and asked how I had slept. I just lied and said that I had slept well. She said she had great news since school was starting soon. I would start trying to walk again. I hadn't really started thinking about walking and I had previously just sat here without even trying to walk, so the thought scared me. May then came over to help me to my feet and then I fell right on my face (That hurt). May helped me up and then I took a wobbly step, slipped and once again fell (ouch), even though May was practically holding me up. So once I managed to stand without falling. I took a ½ centimeter of a step then another one. I eventually got into a rhythm even if I did fall 5 more times. May and I went to sit down on the hospital bed. May was talking about how we could get school supplies soon but I wasn't really listening. I more or just sat there and nodded my head almost falling asleep a couple of times. May looked up and realized how tired I was and she asked me "Did you get any sleep last night?' I started to nod my head but halfway through I just burst into tears. I started to tell her about the dream and just ended up crying harder. So May tucked me into the hospital bed and sat rubbing my head until I fell asleep. I thought about May being nice and how for now she was practically my parent. Though it made me sad thinking like that, it also gave me hope for a better future. I tried to go to sleep again but I just kept waking up from nightmares. I eventually drifted off into a fitful sleep. May shook me awake and helped me up slowly. I started to walk with her by my side and then without. "I'm walking!!". "Can we get school supplies today, please?" I asked with my puppy dog eyes and a little smile. "I'm sorry not today, you need to rest". I once again sat down but reluctantly because I didn't feel like just sitting here wallowing in my own self-pity. So I sat down but not without fuming. Then May started yelling at me. "POOR AMELIA. I FEEL BAD SHE HAS NO FAMILY LEFT." " WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING AT ME??" I said with anger. Tears had started welling in my eyes again. Then I realized May's mouth wasn't moving when she had said that. She looked over at me with concern in her voice and said "I didn't even say anything Amelia."
