'Best of Me' by Christina Aguilera

Marie came back today.

It was weird... and awkward. I felt like an idiot.

She didn't seem to mind. She told me that there are going to be hard days and setbacks. She said that's part of therapy. But she told me that the most important thing is that we keep trying. She actually said something about getting back on the horse, but I didn't really get it.

I've never ridden a horse before.

You know what else happened today?

I talked to her... Marie I mean.

I didn't even realize it, but all of a sudden I realized that I'd answered her question with words. Then I asked her a question. It was... strange.

She didn't make a big deal out of it, but I noticed that she did ask me a lot more questions than usual. And I answered them.

I guess I should have trusted her the other day instead of freaking out. She knows what she's doing and Carole says that she never meant to hurt me or break my trust.

She's actually really really nice.

She told me today that if my shoulder feels up to it, I can take the sling off a bit every day and that I can even try playing piano now!

I think I'm going to ask Carole if I can try playing before Kurt comes home from school.

I want to surprise him.
