*** so yesterday was Thanksgiving I hope you all had a fabulous day. My older cousin surprised us she came home from Disney it was great.

I woke up around 10 a.m. Niall was still asleep.
I grabbed my phone and checked my social media, waiting for him to wake up. Can we just take a moment and appreciate his beauty. His hair lays gently on his forehead. His lips were slightly parted. His chest rose and fell calmly. I took in his beauty and it only made me love him more. Eventually his eyes fluttered open and he caught me staring at him.

"How long were you looking at me," he asked.

"Not long," I respond.

"How long ago did you wake up."

"A few minutes ago."

"Okay."

"I'm gonna jump in the shower and get ready."

I nod my head, "be quick."

"He nods and grabs some clothes and heads into the bathroom. I ring for the nurse.
Someone soon appears ready to assist me. Can I have some breakfast please, I'm starving.

"Of course, just give me a second," she says leaving the room.

She returns a few minutes later with a plate of what I'm assuming is an omelette. She gives me a glass of orange juice along with it.

She leaves the room, "just ring me, when you're done," she says.

I hear the shower turn off. In a few minutes he walks out.

"How was your shower," I ask.

"Calming and hot," he responds.

"Great."

I finish my food and ring the nurse.

"I'll get something to eat and come back up here," he says as the nurse returns.

I nod my head as he walks out of the room going to the cafeteria.

"It must be so great to have someone love you that much," the nurse says.

"Yeah, it's pretty great," I respond smiling.

She takes clothes out of the drawer and comes back over to me.

"Let's get you ready before Niall comes back," the nurse says.

I nod my head, "sounds good."

I lift my arms up as she slides my pajama shirt over my head.

She grabs my bra and slides it up my arm. She straps it and continues to grab my shirt. It's a long sleeve black shirt. I get both my arms in and pull it over my head and make any necessary adjustments. I honestly don't need help dressing, but I won't turn away her help. She's a nurse, her job is to help me in anyway possible.

Next she gets my underwear and pants. We slip my old undies off of me and replace it with new ones. She slips sweatpants on me. I pull them up and I'm finished.

She grabs my toothbrush and toothpaste. She hands me it and runs back to get a cup of water and a small pan for me to spit into.

Once I'm done, I rinse out, she hands me my hairbrush, and I attempt to untangle all the knots, and I think I do a pretty good job. I finally feel at ease with myself.

Niall comes back in once I'm dressed. I was talking to the other boys they said they want to visit once they get a chance. I nod my head, I really miss them, but I understand they have a busy schedule. I don't know how Niall has time to look after me. I mean I'm thrilled, but I'll understand if he has to leave.

The nurses will watch over me and I'm sure I'd be fine. But he'll just be like "I'm not taking that chance."

I mean I understand anything could happen at any moment. Mr.Smith is still at large and God knows when he will strike next, we have to be prepared for anything. My father is the biggest piece of shit... almost forgot he was my father. I miss the old days, I regret ever going down to the principal's office, I knew something was wrong, but I went anyway. And that is how I ended up in this big mess.

I'm just happy I'm surrounded by such supportive people. I do miss Susan though, I know she's busy, but I haven't seen her in forever. She's lucky she doesn't have it as bad as me, she's not that monster's daughter. I know we've been through a lot together, but I definitely have it worse.

I wonder if I could've avoided this by doing something differently, but I didn't, this is the place I'm in right now. I could've been born in a different state, gone to a different school. So many things could've turned out differently, but they didn't.

Just my luck.

I miss my family, I wonder how Tom is doing. I would do anything to go back to the regular days, when it was just Susan, Luke, and I, but there is nothing I can do to go back, so I just have to deal with my shit life.

Niall offers to bring me to the first floor, he helps me into the wheelchair and we head to the elevators. He backs me in and I press the one button and soon the elevator descends to the first floor.

In a minute, the door opens to reveal the lobby. I haven't really been down here. It's pretty nice.

There's a huge chandelier hanging from the middle over a huge carpet. The check-in place is right in front of this. Niall shows me around, he brings me to the cafeteria, the fountain, the small pond in the back, I never realized how big this place actually is.

I miss being home though, but I'm sure going back to my house, would just make me even sadder. It would just be a reminder of how empty my life is and my parents being gone.

I don't think I'd be able to take that hurt. Just then I realize how much I really need Luke, he doesn't have anyone either. I technically have Tom, though, but that's it.

Luke has absolutely no one. I think Luke is probably just as depressed as me, I mean his brother was murdered right in front of him. I need to open up my heart more to Luke. He just wants the best for me, but no one is keeping him afloat. I just have to remember to be there for him more and we will get through this together. He has been helping me through it all. I appreciate him so much, I just feel I have to show him that I appreciate him more. Before I know it the sky turns dark. As I stare out at the pond something catches my eye, a man walks into the lobby in a long black trench coat and instantly makes me feel uncomfortable.

"Niall can we go back to the room, I'm getting tired." He nods his head and starts to wheel me back to the elevator, we wish the people at the front desk a goodnight.

Soon we are back at my room, I call for the nurse to help me put my pajamas on. Soon one appears she grabs some Pjs from the drawer and comes over to me she slips off my clothes and replaces them with comfortable pajamas. Niall takes off his pants and stays in his boxers the bed is already blown up so he just has to turn off the lights, I wish the nurse a goodnight as she leaves. I snuggle into my blankets and grab my phone and look through my apps I go on Instagram and I realize I haven't posted a photo in months, if I take a good photo one day, I'll post it.

***I'm reading my first book and I easily got to like 3000 words but now I struggle to get to 1000, I want to finish this book but I'm not close idk I'll have to figure something out**
