In the past two weeks I've probably slept a total of four hours. The doctors tell me it isn't healthy nor is it going to make me get out of here faster but they don't understand.
I stay up half the time just watching and waiting for Kayden or Carter to barge through that door and finish me off and the other half of the time I spend waiting for a call to tell me my little girl is gone.
My dad's been around a lot more lately but he too looks a mess. I know he has cancer and I'm starting to fear that the stress of what's happened to me is starting to take a toll on him. I'm scared I'm gonna lose him before we get to know each other again.
Then there's Justin who just simply doesn't sleep, nor does he eat and it's starting to show. I can tell he's rapidly losing weight and the muscle tone in his body is starting to fade.
If he's not pacing my hospital room making sure no one gets in to hurt me, he's on the phone arguing with Sam about Nathan.
Personally I don't get her. From what I've heard and can physically see she's not a good mom. We all know she only came back into Justin's life to bleed him for money and attention.
I may only be nineteen but even I can tell that it's killing her that her isn't in headlines anymore and that she isn't the center of someone's world. Justin is trying to be there for Nathan but she's making it very hard for him. On top of that Savannah has started to pull away from him.
She's smart for a three year old and she knows something is different. I can't say I blame her because Justin has been putting a lot of time into the situation with Sam and Nathan. Even I feel a little neglected.
Sometimes it's like he's only here to ensure nothing worse happens but that's stopping today.
I can't keep feeling like a burden.
I look up at the sound of the door opening seeing Justin come in with the phone attached to his ear

I sigh looking away playing with the strings of the blanket Katherine brought me.
"Yeah I understand what you're saying Brent but I can't tell you anything if I don't know"
He pauses listening to Brent. I can hear him talking but I can't tell what he's saying
"I've been asking her for all that stuff but she's refusing. She's saying if I'm not going to pay back child support then there's no reason to go to court" He huffs sitting on the couch
See what I mean? He didn't even say hi or give me a second glance
"Well what am I supposed to do!? I've offered to set them up in a house a little ways from mine and give her $2,000 a month but she said no!"
