Chapter 5
Biting her lip, Sam struggled with the guilt that now clawed at her insides, she was yet to patch things up with her friends; which led to her struggling, trying to think of a way to talk to them. She was surprised and hopeful therefore when at least Ashley asked to see her and as they left Sam's house, Ashley pushed Sam's chair. It was still awkward for her steering it and she didn't mind so much. She didn't know what Ashley had in mind, or why she wanted to see her but she was just hopeful that she'd have a chance to reconcile.
"Ash?" She began hesitantly.
Ashley looked down at her. "Hmmm?"
She was relieved to see Ashley didn't look angry or anything like that, in fact, she seemed much the same as ever.
"I..." She hesitated, unsure what to even say. "God, I just..."
Ashley smiled reassuringly. "Relax."
Taking a deep breath, Sam sighed. "Ashley really, I'm...I'm sorry."
She felt that her words were just too inadequate, but before she could think of anything else to say, Ashley stopped pushing the chair and move to stand in front of Sam. She didn't move down to Sam's level, something Sam was grateful for.
Ashley nodded and smiled at Sam.
"It's okay Sam, really...We..." She paused for a moment and then smiled again. "We're worried about you, all of us, just...we've been going about it the wrong way, we all realize that now."
Sam started at that, looking hopeful. "Wha, really, that's, that's great...I need to, I need to see the others and..."
"Whoa, slow down Sam." Ashley said with a laugh. "We can do that later, I've got something I want to show you."
Sam nodded, relieved and allowed Ash to continue pushing the chair as they headed for their destination.
"So…?" She asked awkwardly. "How have, you and Chris been?"
Ashley smiled and actually blushed a little. "We're good yeah, we...we're getting there, slowly."
Sam nodded, smiling in understanding, following the Blackwood incident, Ashley and Chris had actually moved in together, where they could help each other with their nightmares and such. It also helped in bringing their relationship even closer together than it already was.
They finally arrived and Sam looked around.
"So what are we doing here?"
Ashley smiled. "I was told about this place by an aunt, it's for people in wheelchairs, you can practice controlling and moving the chair by yourself. Something to help you out, get some form of independence."
"What, you…?"
"Trust me, this'll work." Ashley told her.
She grinned and Sam couldn't help it, she grinned too this was certainly something she could look forward too. She soon got to work and began to finally get the hang of this, much to her delight.
Some time later, much to Sam's relief, she found her chance, she was with the others, out for lunch.
"Guys..." She began, not wanting to waste any time.
"Sam?"
She sighed and finally spoke. "I wanna apologize, I just, blew up at you guys for no reason...I'm really sorry."
Emily shook her head. "Sam, relax, we never blamed you."
"Yeah, we know you were angry." Mike added. "And you had every right to be."
Ashley nodded, sending Sam a look that said 'I told you so', Sam grinned, relief flooding through her. Things were finally looking up, now she just had to adjust and accept her new life, but that didn't mean she had to completely give up hope.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
