[Angela's P.O.V]

My life is totally messed up.

Yesterday just about killed me even though I never attacked myself. What made Dustin attack himself? Why is he in the hospital? Why does nobody know what this disease thing is?

Dustin better make it through this or else I don't think I'll be able to live with myself. He needs to live. Carol needs to figure out what the disease is. I need to look on the positive side. Connor needs to comfort me.

I thought about all of this while sitting in the hospital's waiting room, watching Connor sleep. He looked so peaceful. I'll let him sleep, he needs it, just like I do. Carol went to the operating room in scrubs. She hasn't come back yet. She must be busy.

I got up and went to the Cafeteria. Maybe they had some type of breakfast items. I walked through the corridor to the Cafeteria and found that they had some breakfast items. I picked out a packaged Southern Cinnamon Roll, and a bottle of orange juice, and then for Connor I got him a Granola Bar, 2% Milk, and a little travel thing of Quicker Oatmeal. It's not high quality but it's sustenance. I walked up to the check-out counter and paid for the goods and walked back to the waiting area where Connor was stirring. His eyes fluttered open and I smiled at him. "Hey sleepy pie. Did you sleep well?"

"No. We're sitting in waiting area chairs, and I have a crick in my neck. Anyway you're beautiful today."

"Thanks hon. Here's a granola bar, a little 2% milk, and a Quicker Oatmeal. Enjoy." I smiled slightly.

"Thanks Ang." Connor said starting to eat.

I sat down and ate my Cinnamon Roll, and drank some Orange juice. Once we were both down we threw our trash away.

Then we waited, and waited, and waited, forever. Carol never came back from the operating room, so hopefully they're fixing Dustin. He needs to live.
