A change (sequel to New Beginning?)

Chapter 40

Mallory's POV

I'm finally being sent home! It's been 2 weeks since I was in that hospital and I have been getting visits from everyone. Shawn came in the morning after I woke up and I was so happy to see him. Also, Andrea and Jenn came and I was more than happy to see them.

Shawn had to go back though. He stayed for a couple days and he felt guilty for just leaving again, but I made sure that it was okay and that I was more than thankful he even showed up.

Hannah also visited me and she started to cry which made me cry. She said she was worried about me and that she didn't like seeing me like this, but I reassured her that I was fine and gonna come home soon.

I was getting sick of the hospital and wanted to go home the first week I was in there. Luckily dad and Cameron guys all came to visit me so I wasn't lonely. They even took turns sleeping over in my room. The nurses even put in an extra bed for them to sleepover in.

I had a cast on my left arm, a brace for my ribs, and some stitches. Luckily, I didn't break my leg. There were just a lot of bruises on them.

I thought dad would be picking me up, but David did instead. I didn't mind though. When he walked through the door, a smiled automatically spread across my face.

"Ready?" He asked smirking

"No, I'm actually thinking of living here" I said sarcastically and he laughed. "I'm more than ready" I said eagerly and pushed the blanket to the side of me. A nurse came in and smiled at me.

"I'm glad to see you going. I was getting sick of you" she joked

"Oh, thanks Ashley" I teased.

"I'll help you change out of that nasty gown and into your regular clothes" she said taking the bag from David. David left the room and Ashley helped me put on my clothes.

Ashley was in her late twenties and she's been taking care of me for the past two weeks as in helping me bathe, taking me to the bathroom, and just everything. We've gotten close since we could just talk to each other and have a few laughs.

"I'll see you later Mal, but please not in the hospital." She laughed

"No promises" I laughed

She walked over to me and unhooked the IV in my arm.

"Ow" I said

"All done" she said "ready to actually walk?" She asked and I nodded hesitantly. Since I was always in a wheel chair and pushed around, I haven't walked in 2 weeks and I was really weak now.

David came by my side, but I told them that I got it. I wanted to try and do this on my own and be independent since I have the chance to be again.

I carefully swung my legs across my bed and it's now dangling off the side of the bed. I hoped down and of course as you all knew it, my legs buckled and I fell. David caught me and chuckled.

"Looks like you got it" he said

"Oh, shut up" I laughed

Ashley grabbed my other arm and I took a step and stumbled a little. Gosh, I feel like a giant baby learning to walk again.

"Do you want me to get you a wheel chair?" Ashley asked

"No no, I got it, but thanks" I said and she nodded

"I was slowly getting there, but it just felt so weird. The feelings in my legs felt like jello and I must look super weird right now.

"On a second thought, I might just take that offer of that wheel chair. My ribs are starting to hurt" I said and Ashley laughed a bit and let go slowly, making sure David got me and left. She came back a few seconds after with a wheel chair.
