DeliveredI'm literally sitting in the middle of my homework doing NOTHING
Sent at 9:06pm
DeliveredI just don't feel like doing anything today, it's weird
Sent at 9:07pm
DeliveredI feel like my body's shutting down slowly slowly with each passing day
Sent at 9:07pm
DeliveredAnd I also feel really empty and there's like a void in me, like a bare, soundless room
Sent at 9:07pm
DeliveredLook at me, trying to be all poetic like you
Sent at 9:07pm
DeliveredThe difference being that you are actually a poet
Sent at 9:07pm
DeliveredSpeaking of poetry, we missed our usual literature night for the seventh time now
Sent at 9:07pm
DeliveredAnd last night was supposed to be you reading your poetry to me
Sent at 9:08pm
DeliveredMoving on, I sat with you in the hospital today the longest that I have before (not so long considering it was twenty minutes only) and you look much, much better than before
Sent at 9:08pm
DeliveredI hope you wake up soon, and I'm sure you will
Sent at 9:08pm
DeliveredI also read the book you were reading before the accident happened, which you should be really grateful for because you know I hate it
Sent at 9:08pm
DeliveredCome to think of it, I probably only read it for five minutes
Sent at 9:08pm
DeliveredWhatever, at least I did it, right?
Sent at 9:08pm
DeliveredOh, yeah, your Grandma also came to stay with your mum for the time being since she's really unstable and your dad has to continue going to work because apparently he already took leave earlier
Sent at 9:10pm
DeliveredAnd Miles had to go back to university, so your mum's basically alone
Sent at 9:10pm
DeliveredI just realised that I'm being really stupid by mentioning this because these are the type of things that make you feel guilty, so from now on I'll just focus on talking of unicorns and rainbows
Sent at 9:10pm
DeliveredMy dad's coming home tomorrow
Sent at 11:00pm
DeliveredHow long was he even gone? I can't remember. My mum's planning a date for them for the day, so I won't even see him much
Sent at 11:00pm
DeliveredBut I know after that he'll just want to relax at home
Sent at 11:00pm
DeliveredMy dad's been video calling me every week and showing me around the plane and stuff and everything looks so cool
Sent at 11:00pm
DeliveredBut for some reason, I feel more detached when he does that? That confuses me
Sent at 11:00pm
DeliveredWow, it's late
Sent at 11:01pm
DeliveredI've been going to sleep without completing my homework way too often
Sent at 11:01pm
DeliveredNight
