What people don't know

Chapter 12

When I get to the restaurant Carla explains what I need to do, I immediately have to start and the first few times it's not going that good. But after an hour I completely got it and it's going better and better. I'm still making coffee so that makes me happy! I love making coffee plus I'm trying to draw little things with milk.

At the end of the work shift I'm pretty tired and my feet hurt, I've been walking around since 4 so I'm done with walking right now. I've been getting a hang of making little drawings on coffees with milk and the customers seem to like them! "You're free to go" Carla says when we've cleaned up everything. I nod, "Okey! I see you guys tomorrow" I say and Carla just smiles and waves when I walk away. I wave back and I get into my car.

When I arrive at out little apartment I kick off my shoes and I let myself fall onto my bed. I am so tired! I change into my pj's and I walk to Corbs his room, I know that I'm gonna get that nightmare if I'm alone. I get under the sheets next to Corbs, I feel his forehead and he still has a fever... I just really hope that the chemo is gonna work!

*skip to the next morning*

When I wake up I finally had a good night of sleep! I look at Corbs, he's still sleeping I can see the drops of sweat on his forehead. I get out of bed and I look at the time, it's now 10 am and I need to be at work at 12. I walk to the bathroom and I make a wet towel for Corbs. When I got that I walk back to Corbs his room and I lightly shake his shoulders to wake him up. "hmmm" he says and he stretches out his arms. I smile, "Goodmorning Corbs" I say, "Morning Ellie" he says with a weak voice. I help him sit up straight, "Here you go" I say while I place the cold and wet towel on his forehead. "Thanks" he says and a weak smile appears on his face, "Always" I reply and I walk to the kitchen to make some breakfast. Tomorrow he's gonna start with the chemo, I just hope that he doesn't catch a virus or anything. I heard and read some stories about that and that doesn't sound good!

When I'm done with the breakfast I make a coffee for Corbs with a heart on it made from milk, I'm pretty proud of my little artwork! I walk to his room and I hand him the plate and the coffee. "Wow did you made this Ellie?" he asks and I nod proudly. "that's so good!" he says and I smile, "Just practiced a lot yesterday, the heart is the only thing I'm really good at" I say and Corbs just nods.

When he's done with breakfast I go to work. The work day goes by really quickly except for the last hour. There are almost no customers so I can't do that much. I'm just cleaning some tables when I hear the bell which means that a customer enters the store. I look up and you get one guess to guess who I see.
