Steve Landers lay in bed. It was already 8:00 and he had been awake for a couple hours. He was used to getting up early, going for a run, working out, before going to school. He was 18, muscular and quick, a running back for the football team.
Was was the operative term. The car accident had been bad. It wasn’t his fault. He was just a passenger, but that didn’t help. He was paralyzed from the waist down. The doctors had not ruled out the possibility that he would regain some use of his legs some day, but it was clear any athletic career was over. His arm was still in a cast. It would take surgery and a few more months before he would regain any use of it. A thick bandage covered part of his face. Reconstructive surgery might make it possible to be seen in public without people pointing at the freak, but for now…
As much as his injuries hurt, the reactions of those closest to him had hurt worse. His father, once his biggest supporter, now barely acknowledged him. His team and his recent girlfriend had drifted away. If he wasn’t the pretty boy football player, he guessed he wasn’t worth much to anyone.
He turned his head as he heard steps on the stairs. It must be his mom, the one person in the entire world that hadn’t abandoned him. Technically, she was his step-mom, but she had been mom as long as he could remember. She had married his father while he was still young.
He smiled genuinely as she walked in, carrying a tray with breakfast. She wished him a good morning and bent down to give him a kiss on the cheek. She set the tray aside and reached down. He wrapped his good arm around her and felt the warmth of her chest pressed against his. She pulled him up to a sitting position and stuffed a pillow behind him. Setting the tray over his legs, she smiled, “Hope you’re hungry.”
