STAN: Honestly, the doctor is helping me. The only issue I have now is the whole stalker issue.
STAN: And to be honest, last I talked to Ruth Ann and Dr. Rohatgi, I'm supposed to be released in August.
STAN: Hopefully.

STAN: Um, since November? I attempted suicide one night on the roof. I wasn't going to to at first but something told me to do it
STAN: Mom came home just in time
STAN: Well, they looked at the tapes and found out that the only person who comes into my room are the nurses and office workers.
STAN: They don't know where they came from.
STAN: Kyle said if it doesn't clear up, he's taking me out. He wants whats best for me.

STAN: ...
STAN: I don't know if he meant it but he came off as controlling.
STAN: I was only to ever go by Raven and to like tell him where I was. He hated Kyle. Hated him. If he ever came by, Pete would drag me away like I was his dog on a leash. I wasn't allowed to be with Kyle without permission. It was crazy. I found out he had just developed an unhealthy obsession with me.
STAN: I thought it was just because he cared about me until he punched me in the face; he was drunk. I came over to see him after my volunteer hours at the vet office and he was not happy.
STAN: When that happened, I broke up with him and Kyle picked me up shortly after. I didn't speak to Pete for weeks even though the phone calls were crazy.
STAN: Two weeks later, Kyle and I started dating. We went to his game and that's where it gets fuzzy.
