“I won’t be able to do it, Jeremy, I know I won’t.”
“Yes you can, Kersey. If you keep telling yourself you can’t, you won’t.” he said, putting his hand on mine. “I have faith in you, kid.” He said to me.
I got up and sat at the couch by the window. I wanted to go outside so bad. My favorite season was fall, and it was disappearing before my eyes.
“Let’s go outside, Jeremy. Please?” I begged him. As long as I had someone with me, I would be fine.
“I don’t think you should, Kersey. We might get in trouble.” He said, finally coming to sit by me.
“I’m in for a risk. I’ve been locked up for almost two weeks. I need to get out.” I said. I went and I pulled the wheelchair out of the closet.
“At least take me in the wheelchair, please?” I asked again, putting on the puppy dog face. I sat in the wheelchair, ready to go.
“They will think I’m stealing you!” he said laughing. I knew he wanted to make me happy so he decided we would go outside. He grabbed three of my blankets and covered me up in them.
“If you’re going to make me take you outside, I’ve got to make sure you’re warm.” He said, laughing.
He pushed me slowly to the elevator, making sure we weren’t seen. We snuck inside, only to be joined by my nurse on the second floor.
“And where do you think you’re going?’’ she asked me sternly.
“Outside. Just for a while.” I said, ignoring anything she said to me after that.
We got outside and there was a slight October chill in the air. It made me so happy to be outside. I wrapped up in my blankets and looked at all the trees, my favorite part.
