A ''Fresh'' Story

Attempts On Getting Better

"Oh. Are you sure you want to do this now? You still look exhausted..." CQ replied.

Closing his eyes, Fresh nodded. CQ walked over to Fresh's side of the bed. Fresh looked at his feet, almost begging them to not let him down (Pun intended?). CQ grabbed Fresh's hands and looked at him with a motherly look.

"Are you ready, Fresh?" She asked the little skeleton who didn't look sure about this, but suddenly had a determined face.

"Yes, Ma." Fresh said.

"Okay then!"

Fresh's hands were now on the top of his mother's hands. He looked at his own hands and slowly put his left toe on the ground. It felt cold as usual. What would be expected from a hospital anyways? It's not like they put carpets on the ground!

The little skeleton then put his other feet on the ground, feeling the cold again. He wasn't standing up yet. Just sitting. Looks like if his feet can touch to the floor while on a hospital bed, this meant that CQ had made the bed go lower. Fresh appreciated that.

He took a deep breath and held his breath. CQ understood that he was ready, so she got ready herself to help Fresh get up - and if Fresh can make it, maybe even walk.

With that, Fresh stood up, getting help from his mother. When he did so, his spine and legs hurt again. But this time, due to CQ's help, it wasn't so much. Fresh was getting more help than his last try. His last try didn't work out well when he didn't get enough help.

Fresh looked at CQ, who still had a determined look. She nodded, meaning that he could do it.

Fresh took a low step.

Looks like his legs were actually working. He stillcouldn't quite feel them though. But he could still move them!

Then another one.

Now, he could feel his legs working. Even though it was not so much, he could feel them.

And yet, another one.

He smiled. "Glad" that he could walk, at least with help. CQ gave Fresh an assuring smile and turned around, also wanting Fresh to turn around to sit on the hospital bed. Understanding this, Fresh also turned around.

Oh no...

Fresh lost balance and was about to fall down-

Until two arms caught him and avoided him from falling down and probably getting hurt.

"Thanks, Ma." Fresh said.

"You are welcome, Fresh." CQ replied.

The lovely mother, picked Fresh up bridal-style, not risking Fresh to fall sown again.

"Ma- I was fine." Fresh protested.

Ignoring Fresh's protests, CQ spoke.

"We will continue later, okay Fresh? I still got the feeling that you were already tired when you decided to practice walking. If what I think is true, then you must be exhausted."

That was true. Fresh had felt tired when they started practicing, and now, he was more tired. He definitely needed a nap. Even though it was only three steps, it really took most of his lacking energy.

Fresh didn't say anything. Instead, he closed his eyes gently and hoped he would go to sleep as soon as possible.

CQ walked over to Fresh's hospital bed and placed him on it. She looked at the sleeping small skeleton.

He looked so weak. Almost as weak as Geno when he was in the hospital. Geno came to CQ's mind - she was glad that Geno was okay. But on the other hand, Fresh was now in the hospital.

CQ pulled the cover on Fresh. She caressed her son's cheek softly. He was sleeping now, so she didn't want him to wake up.

Yes, he was sleeping a lot the last two days or so. That's because he needed rest more than anything. The surgery he had been through wasn't so easy to handle. Nor the things that happened to his body and soul.

That's probably why he was always sleeping at the end of the chap-

I...

Ahem...

You heard nothing about the chapters, okay?

Anyway... Where were we?

...

Oh! Right. Right...

Ugh... You know what?..

Nevermind...

Welp folks! That's it for now! Stay tuned! Bye!

Ugh...
