What people don't know

Chapter 5

When the sun starts to rise i rub my eyes, I feel pretty good actually for someone who didn't sleep at all. I look at Corbs and he looks super peaceful. He just stopped dreaming so he can finally sleep good. I look at the small clock in my room and i see that it's 6am, I get up from my chair and i stretch my back and my neck. I walk to our small kitchen and i cut 2 bagels in half. Corbs favorite breakfast is a bagel with a baked egg so that's what i'm making for him right now. I put the bagel in the toaster and i brew some coffee for myself, I can live without sleep but i need coffee to get me through the day. When the bagels are ready i bake Corbs egg.

When i'm completely done with his breakfast i walk back to my room where Corbs is sleeping, I gently shake his shoulder and he slowly wakes up. "Goodmorning Corbs" I say and he smiles. "Goodmorning Elle" and he sits up straight. He still looks like shit but better than yesterday, I hand him his breakfast and he eats it. I update him on everything that happened last night, he's not shocked and neither was i when i found out. We both have a feeling when something's not going good and he had that feeling too yesterday. He is scared for the chemotherapy cause the last time he got very sick, plus it's hella expensive. And as you may have noticed we don't have that much money or any rich parents who are helping out.

I take a nice and refreshing shoulder, I wash my hair thoroughly. When i get out the shower i throw on some shorts and a tanktop. It's pretty hot where we're living right now and i don't mind that at all! I am always very cold so now that's not gonna happen again! I walk to the kitchen to eat my own breakfast, I get my phone off it's charger and i look at the time. It's 8.06 am right now, the restaurant would call me between 8 and 9 am so i am getting kinda nervous.

When i'm done with eating i clean up the kitchen and i clean the sheets from my room while Corbs is showering. He sweated a lot this night and the sheets were soaked. When i'm putting everything in the washing machine i hear my phone ring, I sprint back to the kitchen and answer the phone.

Phonecall:

"Hello are we speaking with Miss Besson?" the woman on the other side of the line asks, "Yes you are" I reply. "We wanted to tell you that you are accepted! We wondered if you could start tomorrow morning at 7am" the woman asks me, I'm very happy that i got the job!! "Yes i can, but i have an appointment at 12 am i done by then?" I ask, "Yes you are, but if you are free that night too you could also work then" she says, I think. "Is it also possible that i work both shifts?" I ask and the woman says that i can. She tells me some more about the workclothes and how the payment works.

End of phonecall:

I am really happy that i got a job!! :))

I walk to Corbs room and i knock on the door, "Come in!" he yells and i open the door. He's sitting on his bed with a wet towel on his forehead. "I wanted to tell you that i got the job!!!" I say while i jump on Corbs his bed. "Omg really?!" he says and i nod, "The meds are gonna be expensive but imma work my ass off okey?" I say and Corbs shakes his head. "Don't work too much okey?" I shrug my shoulders. "The bills don't pay itself Corbs" and he shakes his head. "You're such a hardworking girl Elle" and i laugh, "Only for you" and he joins me with laughter. We both know that i hate making new friends and that i have some trust issues, but when i finally trust you and i see you as my friend I would do anything for you. But the thing is, a lot of people stopped liking me before i was at the point that i trusted them and Corbs is the only one who stayed. Corbs is the only one who really gets me, I honestly don't know what the hell i would do if he wasn't here.
