25

A few days have passed and nothing has changed- except Corbyn and Jonah came back yesterday night. Sadly I haven't seen them yet. I woke up sleepily, but excited to see my "brothers" again. I've have always seen Corbyn and Jonah as my brothers. They are just like Damian and Shawn -caring, very protective, sweet, and smart. I jumped out of bed and changed quickly. I brushed my teeth and asked Kristen for Corbyn room number. No one else was awake because it was pretty early.
"***" She said. I nodded and told her that I would be back soon. I walked to the room and knocked.
"Who is it?" Ashley's voice said.
"Stefanie" I answered. She opened the door and smiled.
"Hey!"
"Hey! How are you?" I asked hugging her.
"Good, you here to see Corbyn?"
"Uh yeah, is he still sleeping?"
"No he has a doctors appointment in an hour"
"Oh..." I decided not to question it.
"He is in the first room down there." She said pointing to the hallway. I nodded and made my way to his room. I knocked again and within a few seconds the door opened.
"H-" he immediately pulled me into a hug.
"Hey" I giggled.
"My little sister is back!" He smiled. We pulled away, and I looked up to him. He looked pale and scared.
"What's wrong?"
"Wow, you noticed."
"Well yeah I'm your little sister" I shrugged.
"well... it's a long story" he said opening the door a bit wider and let me in.
"I'll listen." I smiled. We sat in front of each other as he told me that he had a pill stuck in his throat and that it was hard to breathe. I got a little anxious, but not too much.
"Oh. Shit." I said making him laugh- but then bring his hand up to his throat. "Sorry"
"It's okay. How have you been?"
"I've been okay" I lied.
"No you haven't." He said as if reading me like a book.
"Well as good as I can be" I shrugged.
"I...uh...."
"What?"
"Im scared."
"Aww It's okay." I hugged him. "You got this."
"But what if it's something worse?"
"It won't be. If it is, I know you'll fight through it-and I'll visit you everyday. I promise." I smiled. The for opened and Corbyn's mom walked in.
"Oh Hi Stefanie" she smiled.
"Hey" I smiled and got up to hug her.
"Time to go" she told Corbyn. I nodded and got up along with Corbyn.
"I love you and good luck" I hugged him once more.
"Love you too" we pulled away and walked out of the apartment with Corbyns mom.
"Hey do you know Jonah's room number?"
"Yea It's *** down the hall" he said pointing down the hall.
"Okay thanks. Love you"
"No problem love you" he said turning away. I walked towards Jonah's room and knocked. I didn't doubt that Jonah would be up early drinking coffee so knocked, knowing he would answer. The door opened and I saw a tall Jonah standing there.
"He-" he pulled me into hug just like Corbyn.
"Hey" I finished, pulling away.
"Hey! I've missed you."
"I've missed you too"
"Wanna come in... I got coffee-"
"Say no more" I smiled, he pushed the door open a bit more and he let me in.
"Are you the only one up?" I asked.
"Yeah Tate shouldn't be long tho" he smiled.
"See you're the only one that keeps me posted. You're my favorite- don't tell Jack, or Daniel- or anyone" I laughed. "About Tate, what is she like? You've mentioned her a few times but..."
"Yeah I know. She Um... she's great. She's just- I don't know... something different." He blushed.
"Aww Onah is in love"
"How may time do I have to tell you to stope calling me onah?" He laughed.
"Until it works" he handed me some coffee and sat down.
"How about you? How's the young love?" He said sarcastically.
"Meh, no boyfriend" I shrugged.
"I... uh- I'm sorry."
"Why?"
"Jack. I know it must be hard"
"Yeah. But he's happy, so it guess it's okay."
"What are you gonna do?"
" I don't know."
"I love Jack- But I also know he hurt my little sister. Listen Stef, I know this might sound harsh but... I think you need to move on."
"I know jo. I know. I want to. But I don't want to be with someone if I love someone else."
"I know, but he's not the only one who deserves to be happy." He smiled sympathetically.
"Thanks jo" I drank some of the coffee, and we kept talking about random things. We heard a noise followed by footsteps. I saw a blond haired girl walk in. She smiled when she looked at Jonah. Aww how cute.
"Hey" Jonah smiled.
"Hi"
"This is Stefanie. She's had been Jacks best friends for 16 going on 17 years- and she like my little sister." He said introducing me.
"Nice intro jo"
"Very tedious" Tate jokes.
"I'm Tatum, or Tate" she smiled.
"I'm Stefanie or Stef" I smiled back. I turned to Jonah and smiled. "Well I gotta go back but I'll see you guys later." I hugged Jonah. "Bye onah Love you."
"Love you too." I waked to Tate and left.

I walked to the apartment and saw Kristen making breakfast.
"Need help?"
"Always" she smiled. "Umm you make the eggs while I cut the fruit" I nodded, walking to the stove where she had already started cooking some eggs. There was a few minutes of silence while she got the fruit.
"How have you been, love" She asked.
"Good."
"I... i wanted to apologize for Jack-"
"It's fine."i smiled.
"No it's not. I'm truly sorry."
"It's okay. Everyone has been apologizing for him- I know I love him but if he doesn't feel the same way then What can I do." I shrugged.
"We all feel like he made a mistake, trying to love someone else- because he does love you the way you love him."
"It's fine really, i have to move on- maybe this is just a push or a reason for me to actually do it."
"Why do you say that?"
"What?"
"That you need to move on."
"In a week we will have been in each others lives for 17 years, nothing has ever happened between us. I just need to move on-See him as a brother and not someone who loves me in the way I love him." I put my head down.
" I know that the past two years have been tough. With the accident, your brother moving away, the anxiety, and now this. If you need to move on then do it. You deserve to be happy."
"Thank you. So much." I hugged her. The Jack walked in sleepily.
"Morning baby" Kristen smiled.
"Morning mom" he kissed her cheek.
"Hey" i smiled.
"Hey" he kissed my cheek too. Slowly people came in And eating breakfast.

~time skip~
It was pretty late and we haven't heard from Corbyn. It was around 9:00 pm. The boys, Gabriela, Sydnie, Ava, Isla, Ryan, Reese, and I where all out side. My phone rang and the name "Chev💍 ♥️"  popped up it was Corbyn. I answered quickly, stepping inside.
"Hey! Are you alright?" I asked panicking.
"Umm. I've been better. So listen. I have a surgery scheduled for 5 am tomorrow. I have this infection in my throat and I can barely breathe."
"Oh my god. What can we do? Can we visit?"
"You can visit tomorrow- after surgery. It's too late for visitor right now."
"Okay. I love you. I'll be there as soon as I can."
"Come a little late."
"Why?"
"Because then it could just be us and maybe the guys. No other people- we could even face time Christina."
"Can I bring Daniel- for support."
"Of course."
"Love you. See you to tomorrow"
"Love you- I'll pray for you."
"Thank you. Bye Stef"
"Bye Corb" I hung up and walked back outside. Daniel, Jack, Jonah,and Zach came up to me.
"Was that him?"
"Y-yeah" i explained to everyone what he told me. "Dani, can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Yeah" he nodded. We walked inside.
"I'm scared."
"Why?"
"I haven't be to the hospital since..."
"What? Stefanie!"
"I go to this clinic for my regular appointments- but I haven't been to a hospital since the accident it to hard. Will you go with me-"
"Of course." He nodded. I pulled him into a hug.
"What would I do without you?"
"Who knows" he shrugged.
