Chapter 7

A week later.

Layal looked at herself in the mirror, dressed and ready for her first day back to uni after the accident. 

She wasn't ready, not at all. She has been pushing people away and isolating herself from everyone including Lujain, but of course the exception was her family.

She sighed and looked at her reflection on a wheelchair.

She felt hindered.

Layal took her purse and phone then rolled herself out of her room, and into the elevator to go down to the first floor.

"9aba7 il khair 7abeebty." greeted Layals mother.

"9aba7 il noor", replied Layal.

Layal wasn't the same anymore she dosnt have that usual smile plastered on her face, it faded.

Layals mother felt terrible seeing the state her daughter was in.

"yalla Ana lazm amshy la at2a5ar." said Layal.

At uni

Layal felt terrible when her driver had to park at the handicapped section for her to get out of the car.

She felt people's eyes were on her, she hated it she hated that attention she got for something that ruined her life.

The driver pulled out layals wheelchair from the trunk and placed it next to the car door.

Layal slowly pulled herself out and into the seat, it was a struggle for her physically and emotionally.

She quickly rolled herself into the university. She wanted to find a place that barley had anyone in so she wouldn't have to face anyone.

Even her  so called "best friend" Lujain started to distance herself from Layal. Things changed a lot. During the one week Lujain only visited Layal once and for probably just half an hour.

To make matters worse Lujain passed by Layal and gave her a quick sympathetic smile she didn't even greet her or say anything to her. She treated her like a stranger 

Layal hated the fact she felt alone,

When Lujain suddenly stopped talking to her it made her feel as if there was something embarrassing about her having a disabled friend.

Layal sped up just to get away from everyone then bumped into someone from behind and her purse fell out of her wheel chair while she was trying to pass between everyone which was a struggle itself.

'la la laish chthy?!' Layal thought to herself feeling embarrassed.

"A-asfa moo 8a9dy"Layal apologized. She tried to bend down a bit and reach out for her purse but the person who she bumped into picked it up and handed it to her.

She looked up..
