Savannah's POV

Charlize got my number somehow and texted me. 'She is going home with me. Call when you want to see her.' was all it said. The hospital sent me home after she was discharged. I guess the hospital thought she would go home with me. I went home and showered. Then I found myself in her room. The day after the crash, I bought her a bear. It was purple with a green heart on it. The heart said "sorry" on it. I didn't know what else to do. When she was born, it took over a year for me to feel something about her. She was born to be a daddy's girl, and he was born to be a girl's dad. I loved him, and he loved kids. So I gave him a kid. I knew he would have wanted me to comfort her, so I got her the bear. It was all I could give her. I had no love to give her in the first days after the crash. The bear was an apology to her and her dad because I couldn't be her shoulder to cry on. I had lost my world and was stuck with a child that I only had to make him happy. I sat on her bed holding that bear, remembering the crash.
