Daniel sighed grabbing another pinch-full of beads between his thumb and index finger. Stringing the beads onto the strand of wire he held in his other hand. Lately, the crafting supplies Jack had bought for the three had been his escape from reality. He could just focus on what he was making and not his pain. The past few weeks have been tremendously hard on the teen so in the free time he had, he taught himself to make wire wrapped jewelry and string patterned bracelets. It was a good way to just focus on something besides what was going on. Things had gotten harder so his result was to just not fight anymore to make it easier. He never told Jonah no anymore to avoid the conflicts. The more he obliged the easier it was, the nicer the man got. Daniel could tell deep down he had a soft spot but everything made him so angry he had to take it out on him. Some nights he got trapped beside the man having to sleep in the same bed as him on those nights though jonah seemed calm, almost gentle but not quite that because anything could set him off daniel was used to it though. The past three weeks have been harder than the rest honestly because all the other times he's had Corbyn right by his side. Lately, he's been ignoring him. He still really really liked him and all but ever since Corbyn helped him practice making out that day it's been awkward. Along with everything Jonahs been doing to him on the side which included making him wear the vibrator still which made him feel even more disgusted in himself. He had basically become a puppet, he did as told without objecting and hoped for the best no matter how embarrassing it was he was too scared to say no anymore and demons began to form in his mind. He couldn't quite do anything the same now, He apologized for everything no matter what he couldn't help it for example Zach knocked over a glass cup days prior and daniel almost broke down in tears and said sorry a billion times because of quote 'He should've put it away before that could happen' He flinched often and bottled everything up, he woke up every morning with the urge to vomit, he craved foods but at the same time he had no appetite, and often had stomach aches. He missed Corbyn but he couldn't quite get to him anymore, he was always getting used by the man he feared. They just weren't as close and he often caught Corbyn staring at him, pain in his eyes. He knew they were all suffering and he felt selfish for focusing more on his pain than the other boys. He gave Corbyn the bear jonah gave him and a few nights ago before they were all locked into their rooms he saw Corbyn laying on his bed holding it. He wanted to walk in and say "corbeannn what's wrong?" and make the situation happy but the devil on his shoulder told him no because Jonah would be down any second. Corbean was a nickname he gave him right before they started being distant, He was trying to be funny and make his name sound different and it kinda stuck for the fun of it.
Today was his birthday but not like it mattered, to everyone else birthdays seemed so special but he didn't really have a good memory of his birthday, sure the cake and presents when your a kid seems like the best thing in the world but as a teenager, his birthdays always felt dull and today he felt at his lowest. It was five a.m and tonight Jonah forgot to lock the doors he came home from god knows where slightly tipsy. He kissed the boy's lips said goodnight and vanished into his bedroom. Jack had been spending most of his time with Zach now and showing his true self without jonah forcing anything down his throat and to be honest, Daniel liked him he was a good guy and a good friend Jonah just ruined him. If it wasn't for Jonah Jack really would be a good person and they all could tell that Daniel forgave him for everything he had done. Ever so often he caught Jack admiring Zach when he wasnt looking. Something that was bittersweet to him he and Zach had gotten super close recently and spent most of their time together and he knew Zach was really in love with jack even over the short time but in the end, Jack was still with Jonah. Jonah was still the bigger picture. It had been five months of being trapped in this hell hole, He often reflects on when him and corbyn used to murmur their escape plans back and forth and wonders what happens because they never even tried. He had lost all hope of ever going home at this point. Only a miracle would make him attempt a runaway at this point due to everything Jonah had been putting in his head recently. He had accepted it. Unlike someone...
