These past few days I've been numb. I've been going through the motions of whatever Christopher wants but I feel so empty. There is a hole where my heart used to be. As the days pass by, I slowly begin to lose hope of ever escaping. I couldn't even sneak away to a bathroom, let alone leave this house. I bang my head against the bars, scolding myself for ever accepting that friend request and not listening to Sasha's warnings. I'd rather work at the diner for the rest of my life than forever be with this sick man.

Christopher comes in and out of my room to check on me. I think he realised my need to be alone. He'll bring me gifts of baby related items but me pretending at this point is impossible. 

He always frowns and though I know it truly upsets him to see me this way, I can't bring myself to care.
