corbyn opened his eyes to hear a small beep. beep. beep. he looked over and saw jack and jonah speaking.
"guys?" they turned their heads at the sound of corbyn's raspy voice.
"how are you?" jonah asked and looked at the boy.
"head hurts, throat hurts, but-ashley? jordan? are they okay?" corbyn felt his heart shatter at the thought that both could be dead.
"ashley...didn't make it." jonah said quietly.
"but jordan's just fine." jack added and corbyn sunk into his bed. then it hit him.
"i'm in your arms once again and that's...all...i need to be...happy."
he last words were that she was happy to be in his arms even though she was dying. it broke corbyn's heart. he started to cry and jonah immediately hugged the boy. it was out of pure instinct.
corbyn held on and gripped the back of his shirt. he let it all out. jonah rubbed the blondes back, soothing the boy. corbyn let ashley down. she said he wasn't, but he did. she said it was okay, but corbyn didn't think so.
"i let her down." he mumbled on.
"no, you didn't." jonah replied. "i can tell you didn't."
you didn't let me down, corb. i promise you. don't let them down now, bean. don't do it.
he heard ashley and nodded.
"i won't let them down." corbyn mumbled and jonah looked at jack. he just shrugged.
"corbyn?" he looked up from jonah's shoulder and then let go of jonah. he pulled jordan close to him and jordan cried.
"we never thought we'd see you again, corbyn! mom and dad, the-they kicked us out an-and we had no where to go!" he wailed and corbyn rubbed his back.
"we have you now. you have a place to live." jordan held onto corbyn as if his life depended on it. corbyn looked at jonah and the boy was watching them. corbyn watched him get up and stride from the room.
"jordan, can i get up?"
"you really shouldn't-" jack tried to protest and corbyn shook his head. jordan helped him up and he walked after jonah.
"jo. jo!" he turned and corbyn stalked to him.
"you should be in bed." jonah told him and corbyn shook his head.
"no, what's wrong?" corbyn looked into jonah's eyes and he saw pain. "go." jonah looked into his eyes and then he was gone just like that.
"stay safe." he whispered and then walked back to the infirmary.
