When Corbyn came to hours later he awoke in the cold dark on the floor the room so quiet you could hear a pen drop. The room was so quiet he had no idea of the other boy in the room, and yes he was awake to.
That morning when Zach found out the news of the two boys escape he grew heartbroken. He grew angry at them. He thought him and Daniel were close and happy together as friends but apparently not if he didn't have to think twice about leaving him there. So therefore he didn't care when he heard the screams that morning. He covered his ears and cowered into jacks chest. Jack was also upset at them but didn't say anything he had barely talked that day still upset over the news of the baby. Zach still had no idea of the fetus.
Corbyns head was pounding causing him to groan and shut his eyes tightly once again. His body ached for movement. He lost consciousness again but this time for only a few seconds coming back from the darkness with the same pounding feeling in his head. Then everything came flooding back, how the gun was to his head how Daniel ran how he was lucky to be alive. He looked around the room but it was to dark to make anything out let alone the boy sitting in the corner hugging his knees. The place even though it was dark and he couldn't see anything he knew it was a new place it was unrecognizable. He felt alone so did that mean Daniel got out? His body filled with hope at the thought. He tried pushing himself up but his body was in pain and he felt right back down puffs of dirt flying into the air making him realize the floor was dirt and rocks, he definitely hadn't been here before. He pushed himself into a sitting position thought popping all of his joints. He sensed movement from the other room and turned to see a slight shadow moving. Daniel moved himself into a position where he lay on his side with knees drawn to his chest. Bad things happened that morning, very bad things after he woke back up. The baby had been kicking him nonstop for hours which was sweet in most cases but Daniel just wanted it to stop it was painful and annoying. The more he thought of the baby the more he cried and the more upset he got. He wished he felt something beside hatred for it but he couldn't find it in him not to hate the baby. He knew it wasn't their fault but he got angry just thinking about it and all he could imagine was Jonahs ugly baby that he would be stuck with forever.
Your probably wondering hm Daniel why aren't you over by corbyns side hoping and praying he wakes up? Because he was ashamed of himself, embarrassed he failed them both. He laid with him for about an hour earlier that day it was now late around three p.m. Jonah was so mad and it was so scary, the hits came down harder and the yelling got louder.
He had got his jacket back from Eben from earlier that morning he found it on the floor, inside the pocket was the shriveled flower he had been clutching it in his palm ever since he found it. He could hear Corbyn moving but didn't have the energy to move himself or speak his vocal chords were Fried from all screaming that morning. He lay pressing his cheek into the cold sandy dirt with his hood up shutting his eyes, his body to weak to do anything else.
Corbyn shuffled to his feet to dark to see anything he put his hands out trying to navigate his way through. It shouldn't be long joe should it? The cops should come get them if Daniel got that far. He relaxed himself knowing the baby and Daniel were probably miles away from here by now. But those thoughts were ripped away from him when he tripped over something and fell on top of it basically. Daniel whimpered when corbyns body hit him a tear slowly escaping his shut eyes and drizzling into the dirt below him.
Corbyn took a second to register what happened before speaking "Dani?" He said almost in a questioning tone. Daniel flipped himself and shoved corbyns weight off of him because after what happened that morning he couldn't even stand being touched. Corbyn got up quickly so he was on his knees beside of Daniel he panted heavily. "W-what happened," he asked. "You fucking crushed me that's what happened!" Daniel snapped his voice sounding horrid from all of his screams that day. "N-no why a-are you here?! W-what happened," Corbyn asked Daniel shut his eyes again tight not caring to talk again and rolled on his other side a puff of dirt and dust from the ground flew up when he moved. A few moments of silence passed by "what happened Daniel?!" Corbyn said in a stern voice. Daniel stayed silent a tear slowly trailing down his jaw line. "Daniel," Corbyn said again frustrated moving himself in front of the boy. "Talk to me," he said when he kept getting no answer. Daniel did nothing not even move just lay there lifeless "no" he croaked. Corbyn lay on his side beside him and got close it was dark but he could see Daniel was covered in blood. Just to make sure he reached out slightly and touched his forehead and yeah it was dried blood. His heart broke "tell me what happened please, where are we?" Daniel moved closer craving the warmth Corbyn put off Corbyn wrapped his arms around him and they hugged each other tightly. "A cellar at ebens house," he whispered his throat in pain from talking the past few minutes. "I-I made I-it so far," he choked out. "I'm sorry," he cried hugging Corbyn tighter. He hiccuped when the baby starting it's kicking fits again. "Why are you sorry? I-it's okay," Corbyn only said that to make him feel better he knew it was anything but okay. "I SWEAR TO GOD IM GONNA-" Daniel yelling into corbyns chest frustrated as the tiny baby kept kicking harder and harder. Corbyn pulled way slightly jumping at the loud action. "Huh," he said puzzled. Daniel sighed "the stupid baby!" More tears flowed down his cheeks "it won't stop fucking kicking me and it's driving me nuts! It's been doing it all fucking day nonstop for hours!" Corbyn was taken back for a second "show me where," he spoke softly Daniel snatched his hand quickly and placed it over the spot that had been getting the most kicks. Corbyns eyes blew wide "aww" he squealed. "Not aww it's ouch," Daniel whined. "She's playing in your belly," Corbyn gushed. "It's a pain," Daniel whimpered "I'm sure it is but it's adorable," Corbyn smiled gently massaging the skin beneath his hand. "Not adorable," Daniel stated. Corbyn sighed and changed the subject "I thought you were only a few weeks in but if she's kicking she must've been in there for awhile you just haven't noticed until recently," he stated scooting back closer to Daniel. "What do you mean?" Daniel asked glaring slightly. "Well kicking and stuff doesn't normally start until like four or five months in sometimes I think if I remember right," Daniel made a confused face "how do you know all this?" He questioned. "Because I love babies and like reading about them leave me alone," Corbyn said in reply. "Okay okay no more talk about that thing j-just be quiet for awhile I-if they hear us they will come back," Daniels voice got quieter as he spoke. Corbyn frowned wanting to talk more but respected Daniels wishes end pulled him closer placing his hand to the back of Daniels head and hugging him "just go to sleep," he whispered kissing his temple "Rest yourself pretty baby," he murmured placing his head atop of Daniels. Daniel yawned "g'nigh" he whispered. He had honestly been waiting for Corbyn to wake up so he could sleep for some reason it didn't feel right going to sleep while he was or without being by his side he didn't want anything to happen while either slept. He drifted off almost immediately from being extremely exhausted.
