I'm sorry, I was so busy with school the only reason why y'all getting this chapter is because I am sick and I can not do anything else but study in bed and writing. So I guess it's a win for you guys!
Y'all should thank periodp00 because without them I would probably still needed to find the motivation to write the chapter.
Thank you so much for the 90k
ALSO, MY NEW BOOK IS OUT! GO CHECK IT VOTE AND COMMENT AND I WILL MAKE A NEW CHAPTER IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS (PROMISE.)

Fourteen days weren't a long span of time. Four weeks seemed more distant, but it was quite fascinating how in such a short time things could mutate in your life.
I was alone, confined in a room my brother tried desperately to force me out of. I felt overwhelmed. Sometimes I felt like a parasite abusing my brother's love and understanding because of my situation, yet I preferred the loneliness of this room to many things.
"El, open this door please" he begged with an assiduous voice, he rarely gave up, especially if it involved me, every day he would knock at my door until I opened it to him and he made sure I was actually doing okay.
He never raised his tone at me, he was the patient older brother that loved his little sister.
I took a deep breath, pushed myself up, and went opening the door. When I appeared to view, his eyes drifted on my figure, I wasn't exactly unclean, I had showered a handful of times in the past two weeks and I wasn't smelling but I kept wearing the same clothes and I was barely eating any food, my hair wasn't taken care off and I looked tried.
My body still hurt and my thoughts became worse, I kept staring at the bruises on my body that were yet to disappear when I couldn't sleep, and sometimes I would burst out crying for no apparent reason. Having Andrew finally out of my life wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, he almost killed me, he had been capable of leaving marks on my mind that were never going to disappear, and the slight element that reminded me of what he had done to me made terror take control over me.
"El..." My brother said, he looked like he was about to say something that would upset me.
"Ezekiel"
"El mom and dad are here, they want to see you, they aren't going away this time"
I hadn't yet met my mother and father. I tried to avoid them as much as possible because I didn't want them to see me in those conditions but it's been so long since I've hugged them and looked them in the eyes, I couldn't keep hiding from them forever.
