Sing To Me While I'm Dying

Chapter Twenty Six

I wheeled myself farther down the hallway until I saw the person I needed to talk to.

"Vince!" I call out he turns around and his brow furrowed, if trying to place me. "I'm Vie." His eyes widest in recognition. He looks like Jasper, but he is much taller.

"Jasper really loves you, you know ."

"Did he say goodbye before he left?" I ask avoiding the subject.

"Yeah, he asked me to go with him, but I can't leave work."

"Did Lee, George, or Ron go with him?"

"Ron did, George and Lee tend to hold grudges." He sighs and ran his hand through his hair, he looked at me sadness in his eyes. "How's your mom, Vie?"

"Not too good." He nods and looks down.

" I have to get back to work, I can talk after...?"

"No, it's okay. Thanks for talking." He nods and wheel myself back to my mother's room just as Lizzy exited. I start to go back into my mother's room, but Lizzy grabs my hand.

"She's asleep Vie." I nod and she wheels me back to the car. When we get back to the house I go straight into my room. I close my eyes and a few tears spill out. Lizzy opens the door and smiles at me

"I shouldn't have said those things to her." I say.

"And she shouldn't have said those things to you. You're not entirely to blame Vie. And your mother knows that, she's just scared."

"What did she talk to you about?"

"She wanted me to protect you after she..."

"Your don't have to do this."

"Yes I do Vie, because I love you. I love you like my own daughter." Tears fill my eyes and I hug her.

"I love you too Lizzy."

"Get some sleep, you have therapy tomorrow." She helps me into bed and I close my eyes.

The next morning I opened my eyes. I stretched my arms and sat up. I pulled the blanket off my legs and looked at them. I tried to wiggle my toes, and of course saw nothing. After a few seconds I saw a small twitch. I gasp and tried to wiggle them again. This time my toes moved, it was a slight movement, but it was movement. I screamed and Leo ran in after a few seconds.

"Vie!" I looked up smiling.

"Look, my toes." I wiggled my toes and he sat on the bed next to me. He gasped and smiled.

"Vie!"

He opened his mouth to yell for Lizzy, but I stopped him "Leo, don't tell Lizzy, not yet. I don't want to get her hopes up." He sighs, but nods. He smiles at me.

"Your going to walk again."

"Don't tell Jasper either."

"Fine," he says. I can't seem to keep my smile off my face.

"I'm going to walk again!" I whisper.
