Dear Dad,
I'm worried about you. I love you so very much. I don't want to loose you. I can't loose you. I love you.
Why did you do this? Why would you even think of doing self harming? I know, probably melancholy about Mom, I am too, still, like Robert said, we'll be okay. Even though I'm mad at you for nearly ending your life, I'm still happy you're still alive. I hope everything goes well for you.
Your daughter, Rachael
I wrote a little note to Dad, hoping he'll get better soon. I'm constantly worried about him. I'm thinking that he should be in the hospital, but whenever I look at him, I feel like crying. I immediately texted Robert.
Y: I need help. Sick w worry about Dad.
R: How?
Y: I feel displaced. I wish u were here. I need ur help. Can't do this alone.
R: In the middle of studying for a French exam.
Y: Ik, but I'm begging you, please come. I'm having those thoughts again.
R: I'll ask. Hold on.
A few minutes went by. Then,
R: I'll b right there.
Y: Thank u. I can't go through this alone. No one should go through this alone.
R: Agreed. Going over to c u @ ur house.
Y: C u.
R: C u.
"Hi." Robert said.
"Hi," I said, tearing up.
"What's wrong?"
"Dad...he...he tried to--"
"To what? I'm right here, honey."
Instead of telling him, I collapsed to the floor, weak from worry.
"Come to the hospital, now." Robert said to Steven. "Call 911."
I again, heard voices, but couldn't figure out who they were. I tried my hardest, but couldn't. I just sat still.
"My girlfriend, Rachael Daniels, fainted again." Robert told the front desk.
Little did he know that this would be a long and continuous battle for my life and that this battle would change our lives forever.
