Nobody was there when she woke up. At first I was there every day. Then every week. Sometimes twice a week. But when she opened her eyes and looked around there was no one there. I really wish my eyes were the first thing she saw.
I wasn't going to write about that today. School and life have been going on. I have to be far more disciplined than I have ever been in my life, even when I had private lessons after school almost every day in middle school. I need to keep my grades perfect to keep my parents happy and away. I need to be able to contribute to Muse. The old Niko would never forgive me, and I think the new one will grow to feel that way, too. I need to help with Niko's money and her school and her physical therapy. but of course, I actually need to meet her for real. First. And I need to win my baby back. Making my routine is a step to that. Baby steps for my baby Niko.
