We got our plates and joined the line in the dining room to get our food. Heather invited George back to the flat to eat with us. I frowned at the thought but did not say a word to either of them.
We watched Lucifer while we ate.

It felt as if I had been asleep for five minutes when my father woke me, shaking my shoulder gently.“You slept in. You’re going to be late.” He said when I opened my eyes.I yawned lazily and said“I know. My back is killing me.” My father gave me a sad smile and said“Want me to call the school and tell them you won’t make it for the assembly?” I shook my head and gave him a brave smile.“Nah. I’ll go, get this assembly over with. Not doing to do this again though.” I said and started to sit up, feeling my back protest vehemently, the pain felt like a hot rod jabbed into my spine. “I’ll have a painkiller and strap the support vest on. You can always give me a ride to school?” I smiled at him.He grinned and said“I’ll let Gwen know. She’s waiting for you.” I stared at him in confusion. “She stopped to look in on you. Your mother had sent her a message telling her you’ll be late, your back was hurting you, and she stopped on her way out to ask if you needed a ride.” My father expl

I got home on Tuesday afternoon. I was walking by myself but my father refused to allow me to carry the overnight bag, even though it had only two sets of PJs, or the new guitar case. But instead of going into my house my father led the way to the main house.“We thought you should stay with us for a little while, until you can move around by yourself.” He said shyly.“I can move by myself dad.” I replied and followed him hesitantly.

I woke the next morning in the bed with no idea how I had gotten there. The sun poured into the room through the open curtains but I had no desire to get up and close them. Instead, I pulled the covers over my head and stayed put. Gwen’s words kept repeating in my head. I thought of ways I could’ve handled it better, or maybe could’ve said something. Perhaps I should’ve just gone along with them, did what they wanted, perhaps they would’ve left me alone then.I was awake for nearly half an hour when the door opened and my mother called my name softly. I did not answer her at all.

It seems to me that it was a previous agreement between Miss Preston and Miss Sheldon as to who would take me to school and take me home in the afternoon. My mother was free most afternoons but Miss Preston still insisted on taking me home. On afternoons when my mother was home, a group of my school friends would drive along and we would form a study group at my house. It was easier for me to walk at home than at school. Usually when I got home Miss Preston would stay in the living room while I go to my room and change.Sometimes I would discard the back brace and sit in my chair but mostly I would soldier on with the back brace, walking against the walls until I reached the sitting room table.

Dr Jones had me start on strengthening my legs and lower back. I lay flat on a bench and pressed against a small weight that rested on my feet. We did all kinds of exercises that made the time pass by very quickly. She kept me busy for about three hours when the receptionist entered, pushing the next patient in a chair. “Oh my!” Dr Jones exclaimed. “We are not even halfway done! Maggie, can you please ask Joanie if she can assist with Mr Peters?” I lay back on the floor and breathed hard. The exercises she had me do was not
