Chapter Fifty Six
Everyone found it awkward seeing Jason in a wheelchair, Robbie avoided looking at him out of guilt. Jason was happy he didn't have to go to college.
He could deal with being in the wheelchair, he could deal with everyone bending over backwards for him but the one thing he couldn't deal with was the over exaggerated sympathy everyone seemed to give him.
He had 142 texts from people at college, some he didn't know and how they got his number was a mystery. It was even worse on Facebook, messages after messages. Joe had screwed his act-like-Jason's-dad head on Freddie was letting him win at the video game, Robbie couldn't look at him and Ziggy was asking private questions about Hollie. (He didn't think that was related to the accident though).
Sandy and Lindsey kept asking him if he needed help on his Coursework, anything to eat and it was getting on his nerves. It was okay at first but now it was making him claustrophobic.
He was doing his humanities coursework online, it was 8 months until the final exams then he was applying for Uni for an undergraduate course, Robbie still took the mickey out of him for being a doctor.
"Jase" Robbie peeked at his laptop screen. "Uh huh?" "Do you want to do my Health & Social coursework?" "In a minute, I'm doing my own work" "Okay Nancy Drew" Robbie ruffled his hair, Jason pushed his hand away.
"Here you go boys" Sandy put two sandwiches on the table (One of very few things she could make). Lindsey was sleeping on the armchair.
Sandy sat inbetween her boys with a cuppa, "I'm done" Jason slammed the laptop screen down. "What? 5 lessons in 3 hours?" Sandy looked incredulous.
"Yeah" Jason grabbed his sandwich, wincing at the little ping of pain in his lower back. Robbie pffed, Sandy smiled. "What am I gonna do all day?" "I can tell you about your brothers reactions when they found out I was having twins?" Sandy joked.
"They probably weren't looking forward to it" Robbie was typing on the laptop. "Ziggy was, he was 5 so wanted to call you Rolo and Milky way" Jason and Robbie snorted.
"Freddie was about 10 and Joe was..I think 14" "Was Ziggy happy 'bout not being the youngest" "He was only 5 Jase, Freddie was horrible to him" Sandy shook her head.
"He's horrible to Ziggy now" Robbie smirked. "I know". "What was dad like?" Jason asked, Sandy sighed. Alan had died when they where 10.
"He was ecstatic, He chose the name Robbie and I chose Jason" Jason smiled. "I miss him" "We all do hun". Sandy would never forget that night, It was one night out from the kids but it resulted in the crash. Sandy could still feel the cold water rushing in the car.
"Mum, Why don't you go out tonight? The dogs having a party" Jason and Robbie shared a look. "You'll be okay?" "We'll be fine mum, have fun" Sandy nodded, she wanted another go on the karaoke.
Katie and Lindsey watched Sandy come down in a dress and high heels, To be fair, For a woman if Sandy's age she looked great. No bingo wings and hardly any wrinkles, if she had any they where faint.
Katie hoped she'd look like her when she hit Sandy's age, Katie wanted to look good so wore her naked colour heels, a strapless pale pink dress and had curled her hair into a low side bun with a thick sweep of blonde hair swept across half of her face diagnolly.
Joe was coming and Ziggy but seeing Lindsey look gorgeous in a stunning orange dress made him feel sick knowing her could never have that.
So he stayed in with the twins.
Sandy stood up the bar with Lindsey, ordering a Sherry and a couple shots of Vodka. "Look at them two" Joe nodded to where Ziggy and Katie where snogging in the corner.
"Do you think their using tongues?" Lindsey scrunched up her nose and looked closer. "I hope not" Sandy swallowed a shot and shook her head.
"How about we go and do that?" Joe took Lindsey's hand and led her away. "Hi Sandy" Sandy turned to see Frankie standing there, Oh great.
Ziggy cupped Katie's face, "How 'bout we go back to the flat and come back later...later later" he grinned. Katie smiled, "Let me just freshen up babe".
Katie rushed away to the toilet, she locked one of the cubicles and unzipped her handbag, she opened the bin and threw in a small packet of protection away then grabbed her pills.
Smiling, she dropped them into the toilet, only leaving one. Zipping up her handbag after putting on a little more lipstick, she went back out and took Ziggy's hand.
Sandy was a teeny but drunk, she couldn't help it. Frankie had been a bore, Ziggy and Kate where busy being busy and Joe and Lindsey had connected tongues up the other side of the bar.
"Can I buy you a drink?" Sandy turned to see a man grinning at her, he was tall...very muscley, his hair was brown and short and his eyes dark chocolate.
He looked about Sandy's age. "Me?" "Yes you love, what's your name?" "Sandy" "I'm Steve" They shook hands, He ordered two champagnes.
"Your from London" "How did you know?" Sandy joked. Steve laughed, "What brings you here?" "My boys are hear" Sandy shrugged.
"You have kids?" "Yeah, 5 boys and two grandchildren" Sandy didn't care if it put him off. Instead, he smiled. "I've got two daughters, Kathy is 32 and has a daughter and my youngest is 26, Melissa".
Sandy turned, liking this man already. "My oldest Joe is married and has a baby, then there's Freddie, and then Ziggy who has a son and the twins Jason and Robbie"
"Identical?" "No, not in personality either...Jason's the nice one" Sandy laughed. Steve laughed with her, "Close family?" "Yeah, we all look after eachother...Robbie's delinquent, Jason has Type 1 diabetes and minor epilepsy, genius of the family though" Steve nodded.
"Thats what it was like with Kathy, she was an angel but Mel is like her mother" Steve grinned. "Your married?" Sandy snapped. Steve snorted, "I was, she left me for a lawyer...Who's the father of your boys?" Sandy looked down.
"He died in a car crash, we drove into a canal" Sandy said. "I'm sorry, crashes are horrible" Steve ordered some more shots. "I know, The twins snuck out to a party a few days ago..Jason's in a wheelchair now" Steve gaped.
"Only for a few months! He's getting better" Sandy smiled. "Good, Listen, I've gotta go and see if Mels home from work...can I get your number and maybe we can go on a date?" Sandy grinned. "I'd like that Steve" Sandy gave him her number and watched him leave.
2 months later...
Robbie stood with Freddie watching Jason bite his lip nervously, "You don't have to do it Jase, It's only been a couple of months" Robbie told his brother.
"Yeah but I can't keep having those sympathetic looks from everyone, I wanna walk" Freddie smiled at Jason, he looked like a 7 year old kid in a tantrum, not a 17 year old.
"Come on Kiddo" Freddie smirked, "I ain't a kid!" "Your younger than 18, can't drink and is still in 6th form" Freddie raised his eyebrows under Jason's glare.
"Okay, but you two are out of here" Jason deliberately rid over Freddie's foot. "Oww! You little shit!" Freddie snarled, Jason and Robbie chuckled.
The nurse that Freddie liked came in, "Okay, Ready Jase?" she grinned. "Yeah, bye Fred" Jason rid over his foot again. "Ow! Please, get him out of the chair as quickly as ya can" Freddie half limped through the door.
The nurse (Tonya) smiled as Jason stood up, "You've been doing this at home haven't you?" she smirked. "Just practising, I can stand up fine now, it doesn't hurt".
"What does it feel like when you walk Jase?" Tonya took notes, "Stiff, wobbly...I get some pain" Jason admitted. "Okay Hun, The stiffness is from the operation and being uneasy is because you haven't walked in months".
Tonya pinned up two pictures of Jason's X-ray. "Your back is healing up great, just a week or two left before its fully recovered, you can walk now...just try" Tonya smiled encouragingly.
Jason shrugged uneasily and grabbed onto the parallel bars like a life line, "Trust yourself hun, You can do it" Jason released his grip on the bars and tried his best to ignore the stiffness and tugging at his lower back.
Putting one foot after he carefully walked, slowly but surely. "Good, now turn and walk back...do this a few more times" Jason repeated it. Taking his time and doing it carefully.
He was getting a little weak but carried on, Tonya smiled. Jason realised it was getting easier and the tugging and stiffness was fading.
They had been at it for half an hour, Tonya helped him whenever she could. "Right, Let go of the bars" "What?" "Let go of the bars, come on!" Tonya smirked.
Jason let go, he stumbled a little but Tonya caught his arm. "See, after weeks of physiotherapy and practising you can do it! One of the fast recoverers" She grinned.
Jason walked wobbly but was doing it, "Great Jase! Just take it easy for the next few weeks Ok?" Tonya watched him. Jason nodded, Tonya made him walk over to a straight red line that was on the floor.
"Walk straight on that, you can do it" It took Jason a few times but he got his posture right and could walk easily, Jason smiled. Just like he used to be, Ok, he needed to take it easy for the next few weeks but at least he didn't need the chair.
"My mum thinks I'm gonna be in the chair for another week" Jason grabbed his hoodie and put it on, "Why don't you surprise her and walk out?" Jason nodded.
He stepped off the small equipment that made him walk on a steep slant. That had ached but Tonya said it was a long process until he could finally do it.
Sandy watched Freddie keep annoying Ziggy, "Fred, pack it in" She warned. Honestly, they where like over grown kids sometimes.
The door opened, Tonya came out. "His progress is amazing Mrs Roscoe" she smiled, "How long until he's out of the chair?" Lindsey piped up.
"Ask him yourself" Tonya opened the door. Jason walked out.
Everyone leapt up, "Jason!" Sandy grabbed her son. "Ow" he hissed, everyone was firing questions at him. "He's still recovering, yes he can walk but he needs rest and still come for checkups and one session of Physiotherapy a week" Tonya told them.
Sandy nodded, "Thankyou" she smiled. Jason turned to his brother, Damn. Robbie was still taller than him, not by that far. Robbie smirked as he caught on.
"Thats why your my little brother, Little brothers are meant to be little" "We're twins! We're the same age" "Nah! You don't say Sherlock" Robbie gaped.
"Shat ap" Jason shoved him and smiled. Robbie hugged his brother, Jason frowned. "Whats this for?" "Being my brother".
Jaosn hugged back, Robbie pulled away. "Tell anyone I did that I'm hiding your X box controller for a month" Robbie smirked.
"Right, come on" Sandy pulled out her car keys.
