"Paige?" A voice asked.
"Wh-wh-where am I?" I asked whoever was out there.
I opened my eyes and noticed I was in a light blue room lying in a bed.
"Paige, my name is Susanna. When the police found you, they borught you here to the Center for Battered and Abused Women. Your brother is in the hall, should I send him in?" She asked smiling.
I nodded. Susanna was a nice woman, she was short, a little chubby and had dirty blonde hair. I watched her walk out and bring Dylan in.
"Hey," Dylan said smiling "How are you?" He asked me.
"Scared..am I hurt badly?" I asked.
"Well, 90% of your injuries are below your waist, they don't know if you'll ever be able to walk again." Dylan said solemnly.
I started crying. "That bastard did THAT to me?" I asked between sobs.
"Paige!!!" I heard from the hallway.
"Mom??" I asked not expecting her to be back so soon.
"Baby, how did this happen?" She aksed. "What did you do to make him do this?"
"You think I provoked him??"
"Well he wouldn't just attack you for no reason."
"Well MOTHER he killed Terri for no reason." I said starting to cry again.
"Paige, I'm sorry I just, I needed a reason. I needed to justify how you ended up this way."
"By blaming it on ME?" I asked.
"Alright, visiting hours are over, Paige, you can have one person stay tonight if you like, ok?" Susanna told me.
"Dylan, can you stay?" I asked him.
"Of course I can. I'm here for you." He told me.
When Mom and Susanna left, I took the blanket off my legs and looke at them. They were swollen and purple. I started crying again.
"Paige, do you wanna take a walk--er-roll?" Dylan asked pointing to a wheelchair by the window.
The center was nice. It was like a little house. Two floors of rooms, all like mine, complete with a bed, couch, table, and bathroom.In the building there was a library,kitchen, dining room and even a little garden out back. If I had to stay here for a while I wouldn't mind. While Dylan and I were out in the garden, we had an emmotional sibling moment.
"Dyl, what if I never walk again?" I asked him.
"Then I will push you every where you need to go. I'm here for you Paige, don't you ever forget it, ok?" his face was honest and sincere.
I cried a little bit, but it was tears of relief.
"Let's go back to your room and go to sleep, ok?" He asked.
"Yea, I'm tired." I lied, I knew I would be up all night.
During the night I lay there wondering what was going to happen to me. Would I ever be able to walk? Would I ever go back to Degrassi? Did I want to go back to Degrassi? Would Spinner still love me even if I was half-paralyzed? Is Rick still lookinf for me? I finnally went to sleep around 3:00 am. Hoping all my questions would be answered soon.
A/N:: This chapter is kinda uneventful and boring, but it just serves to connect the chapters. If anyone knows Rick's last name please let me know.
