DeliveredAnyways
Sent at 6:53pm
DeliveredOh, God
Sent at 6:54pm
DeliveredI forgot which ward you're in
Sent at 6:54pm
DeliveredI've got Vince and Chelsea with me so hopefully they'll remember
Sent at 6:54pm
DeliveredOkay so last night while I was awake, I came to a conclusion as to why I feel the stupid need to text you even though you're in a coma
Sent at 6:57pm
DeliveredIt's because I feel like you're still here and it distracts me from the sad reality that you aren't
Sent at 6:57pm
DeliveredI mean you are HERE, but not completely
Sent at 6:57pm
DeliveredWe're in the waiting room, by the way, because Chelsea remembered
Sent at 6:57pm
DeliveredAnd we've been waiting for about fifteen minutes by now
Sent at 6:58pm
DeliveredI think your parents are in with you right now, I'm not sure
Sent at 6:58pm
DeliveredYou know they've been here at the hospital every day since the accident?
Sent at 6:58pm
DeliveredI wonder where they've been sleeping
Sent at 6:58pm
DeliveredI've barely spoken to your mum, except for when she told me about the accident
Sent at 6:59pm
DeliveredSo I'm going to start doing daily updates on:
Sent at 6:59pm
Delivered1. Things you're missing at school
Sent at 6:59pm
Delivered2. Homework that I'm collecting for you and you better do it when you wake up because I am not going through all of this just for you to NOT do it
Sent at 6:59pm
Delivered3. How your parents are
Sent at 6:59pm
Delivered4. And obviously me
Sent at 6:59pm
DeliveredI'll TRY to keep 4 at a minimum, though
Sent at 6:59pm
DeliveredOh, your parents are out
Sent at 6:02pm
DeliveredI'll tell you everything later, I'm coming in to see you now
Sent at 6:02pm
DeliveredBefore I go: I'm not sure what I'm expecting inside which scares me
Sent at 6:02pm
DeliveredSo
Sent at 6:24pm
DeliveredThe first thing I noticed when I walked in was that your beautiful, happy-go-lucky, always present smile was replaced with chapped lips and a straight, grim line
Sent at 6:24pm
DeliveredAnd then I almost walked out when I saw all the wires running around you and into your arms and God
Sent at 6:24pm
DeliveredAll those machines terrified me with their sizes and all
Sent at 6:24pm
DeliveredThey were all blinking and humming and they showed your heartbeat and your breathing and stuff
Sent at 6:25pm
DeliveredI don't think I'll ever look at a hospital the same way again
Sent at 6:27pm
DeliveredThe doctor said it'll take over a month for you to heal yourself
Sent at 6:27pm
DeliveredBut he also said that if you don't fight, you might not make it
Sent at 6:27pm
DeliveredI have faith in you, Carmen
Sent at 6:27pm
DeliveredYou're going to fight like the fighter you are and grace the world with your bright smile and sassy comments again, okay?
Sent at 6:27pm
DeliveredSo I'm going to bed early tonight because I still have school unfortunately
Sent at 8:15pm
DeliveredNight, Carmen
Sent at 9:00pm
