It's been almost six months since I was released from the hospital. Dad's been doing better, recovery hasn't been easy but with Jordan and I helping he's avoided drinking, he's even going to meetings in the city. Being sober allowed him to actually attend my graduation in June, something I never thought would happen. The Stom family came too to support me, as did Mr. Marsh and Jordan's parents came for both of us.
I wake up and smell food. Chicken I think. Looking around it isn't coming from my room, but there is someone asleep in the chair by my bed.I attempt to sit up, even though it hurts. Looking closely and waiting for my vision to clear out of its groggy fog, I recognize the dark hair and tall build that is slumped in the chair.
Everything is warm and bright. I don't feel like I can open my eyes it's so bright. Lifting my hands I try to shade myself to see but nothing.I turn quickly at the sound of footsteps, "Hello?" I yell out, "Who's there? I... I can't see!"
