I toss and turn between the sheets.

I have been locked in my bedroom for days. I have no idea how I’m going to last until Thursday.

After the wedding, I had the housekeeper help me move my suitcase from my old bedroom to one of the guest rooms on the other side of the house. It is closer to my dad’s bedroom, and as far as possible from Carmen and Grayson’s new room. Of course, it also has its own bathroom, and not one that opens into any other rooms. Choosing this strategic location has made me feel slightly more at ease. I even asked the housekeeper to study the outside of the house and make sure that the window wasn’t easily accessible by climbing up any drainpipes. She probably thought I was crazy. I figured that I could keep to the safety of this room for the most part, but venture out into the rest of the house when Grayson was at work. But it just so happens that he was able to get many vacation days to celebrate his wedding.

Unfortunately, he didn’t use them to go on vacation.

I’m not sure why they didn’t go on a honeymoon—I think it’s because Grayson wanted to keep an eye on me. Either way, I have been unable to leave the room. That in itself is not so terrible. I am used to being confined to a small space and not moving around much. However, I have been entirely unable to work. Every time I tried, I found myself sitting uselessly before my braille typewriter, with my hands resting lightly on the keys. Try as I might, I could not seem to make my fingers move to produce anything worthwhile. All I could think about was that he was right outside my door.

Sometimes my father tried to coax me out to join the family for dinner, but I tried to decline as politely as possible, making excuses about how I needed privacy for my writing. In the middle of the night, I was able to scavenge for a large case of bottled water, in addition to a six-pack of soda. I also secured a few jars of peanut butter, some raisins, bags of chips, and cheese. These items are my only sustenance, and they must last until Grayson leaves the house again, and I can finally get more food. I locked the bedroom door and used several pieces of furniture to barricade myself inside. Pushing the dresser was difficult, but once I temporarily removed the drawers, it became easier.

Now, I have no idea what day it is. Possibly Tuesday or Wednesday. I am also unsure whether it is night or day. Liam has called me a few times to make small talk, but he has been busy at work and hasn’t had much time to spare. For the most part, I have been trying to sleep to pass the time. (It also requires the least expenditure of energy and helps my food last longer since I don’t need to consume quite as much.
