All Chapters of Making Her Whole Again: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Amber wakes wondering why she would dream of her sister with Grant. She ponders on it while she gets ready for work and decides the best thing to do is talk to her doctor. Over the years she has helped her with her feelings of guilt about being alive when her sister isn’t. Maybe this is the same thing?The boys are having breakfast when she goes down. “Well, we’ve just heard that Grant went swimming with you and the boys” Mary says looking a little too excited by the news. “Yes, I looked around his family’s research facility yesterday and mentioned it to him. He taught the boys to dive from the one-meter board” Amber explains“He did? You didn’t tell us that boys” their mother says turning to them. “Nate has been a little preoccupied by other things” Clive says in way of explanation, which has Mary all smiles again. Not liking the look on Mary’s face Amber makes an excuse about needing to get to work early.“Go, you lucky girl. We’ll talk tonight” Mary says a little cryptical

Grant and Amber stay in the hospital together that night. When he comes around and see’s he is on a bed with a drip. He looks over to Amber “you passed out due to low blood sugar levels and shock. Are you feeling better?” Amber explains and asks. “How embarrassing, sorry I was in a bit of a state while looking for you. I can’t believe that anyone would go so far as knocking another person out and locking them in a room that isn’t being used. If you hadn’t been meeting Clive, we might never have known you’d gone missing until it was too late” he says setting the monitor off that is attached to his finger.A nurse comes in and checks his blood pressure and vitals. “It is important to try and stay calm. Think of pleasant things or best yet sleep” she tells him. He nods apologising. Amber though worried for him. Is secretly pleased he feels so much for her. They talk a little more before falling back to sleep again. Grant wakes to find the drip gone and Amber still sound asle

Grant pretends to be asleep, so Amber can get up and grab her clothes before running to the bathroom. He gets off the bed and goes into the kitchen to start breakfast, while waiting for Amber. She comes out a little later, looking refreshed, even wearing the clothes from yesterday. “I’ll grab a quick shower and then breakfast will be ready. You didn’t call your mum last night she might be worried?” he tells her. Amber smiles at him “I received a text from her saying she was going to go visit her sister. She’ll be back sometime next week.”Grant nods and goes to get his shower. Amber lays the table and makes them coffee. Grant is true to his word and is back just ten minutes later. They sit and have breakfast and then a thought hits Grant. How did she know where everything was? “Did you find everything okay?” he asks herAmber looks at him and then the table “I did thank you” she answers looking thoughtful. “So, if your mum isn’t about, you can spend another day with me?” G

They spend the day, relaxing in Grants apartment. Both happy to stay at home as they both feel as though they have things to think about. When he’s walking her out of his apartment building, later that day to hail a cab for her. Amber pauses as a car break’s hard causing it to screech along the road out front. The sound causes Amber to relive the accident. As her head hits the car, she staggers back. Making Grant grab her around the waist to stop her from falling. As she remembers hitting the ground her hand goes up to her head and she feels the scar along her scalp.She looks at Grant wide eyed and her eyes roll back in her head as she passes out. She isn’t out long though. Just long enough for Grant to lower her to the floor and hold her to him. She blinks open her eyes “it was me, that was hit?” she questions, “Grant I want to go home, I need to talk to my mother?” she continues before he can say anything.“You aren’t feeling dizzy?” he asks her, she shakes her head no.

It’s been six months since Grant and her mother have seen Stacey properly. They did go up for the open house day, two months ago. But it was too short and if anything, they just missed her more. The therapy was going well she was remembering more and more but she still referred to Stacey as the third person. Liz had explained that it was her last string to cut. She is apprehensive, so was finding it hard to let go of that final piece of Amber.They are together again, planning another video to send her. “We could do another baking video, let’s bake her some of the coconut squares that Stacey loved?” Grant suggests to her mother. They were sitting in the coffee shop near the entrance of her mother’s apartment. Grant had made the decision about four months ago to buy there too. He now lived in the third block of apartments, that was furthest away from the entrance of their gated community. But closer to the small lake, park and trails. He had become much closer to her mother
