Unforgiving tragedy

chapter5

I breathed out a breathe I didn't know I was holding. "Corbin. This scar is from a car accident I was in. " I shakily pressed my knees to my chest. "It was the car accident that took everything away from me." Corbin just sat their quietly waiting for me to continue. Unsure what to say. "my parents were taking me to see my older brother. He was in jail for violating his parolle officers ordered. It was my 10th birthday. I didn't want cake or presents. I wanted to see him." Tears rolled down my cheeks remembering my brothers face when I told him what had happened. I sighed feeling so hopeless and lonely.

Corbin scooted closer to me and wrapped his arms around my waist.
" You can stop now if you want." He pressed his lips to my temple. "No. No It's Okay." I smiled feeling his warm touch. " We were only an hour away from the jail. The light was green so we went, but their was a high speed chase in progress. We got caught in the cross fire I guess. The car was demolished. I was the only one to survive. " Tears streamed down my cheeks and I choked out a sob. "When I woke up in the hospital my family wasn't there. All I have left of them is this." I pulled a little locket off from around my neck. Corbin took it looking at the picture of my family and I inside. "I'm sorry sweetheart." He put it back around my neck. " It's Okay. This scar reminds me everyday that not everything ends in a fairy-tale. That's why I don't really believe in dreaming." He got up and held out his hand to me. I took it and followed him into the room.

When we got back from the beach I noticed Corbin staring at me more intently than usual. I knew that stare. He was about to do something. But his gazed unexpectedly settled.
"You like her don't you." He was staring again.

"Who?" I asked. Wait. Did he know about what happened between Mallory and I?

"Don't play stupid. I know you guys kissed." He walked closer to me. Making my senses erupt with fear.

"Yes. Corbin. Don't do anything stupid." I Said putting my arm out to keep him away from me.

"You little bitch she's mine!" He yelled.

That was pretty much the last thing I remember. After he launched at me I tripped and fell. Hitting my head on the corner of the coffee table. I woke up to someone watching me. I sat up keeping my eyes on them.

"Emma your awake!" She squealled.
" I was worried About you!" She exclaimed as she threw her arms around me.
First thing I thought was where the fucking am I. But with Mallory being here. Everything is going to be Okay.
