What people don't know

Chapter 23

During grocery shopping i luckily didn't run into her, luckily for her. I swear, if i saw her i would've done it, I would've pulled all her fake extensions out of her stupid head. I honestly want to see how her face would look then.

When i pull up to the parking lot in front of our apartment i see that the sky is really dark right now and i can already hear the thunder from far away. Tomorrow i need to work the whole day, from 7 till midnight. That's a very very long shift i know, but well i need the money. I carry the bags upstairs, when i get inside the apartment i put everything away. When i'm done with that i walk to my room, Corbs still sleeping. I really hope the chemo doesn't make him feel worse, he already is too weak to walk by himself. What will happen next? Plus his immune system is kinda dead now so he absolutely can't get sick. I bought some fruit for him so he stays healthy. I change into my pj's and i get under the sheets next to Corbs. I feel that my eyelids are really heavy, I slowly blink and it gets harder to open them. I feel that i slowly drift asleep.

I hear something falling from the otherside of the house, no nononononono Corbs be quiet!! Please let Corbs be okey! I lift up my shirt and i look at the wounds, they're not that bad but they hurt. I'm losing a shit load of blood and that's not good. This needs to end and be over. I grab the knife and i hold it tight, I pull myself up to the shelf. When i'm standing I almost fall down again cause of my shaky legs. After a minute the shaking stops a bit, I let go of the shelve and i see that i left a bloody handprint on the shelf. I hold the knife even tighter when i walk to the door, my hand reaches to the doorknob when i hear a scream, it's the voice of a woman. MOM! I don't think of the consequences when i open the door and i run out of the room.

I enter the living room and i look around me, I see a trail of blood on the ground and i follow it. My heart is pounding right now and it feels like it could explode. I am shaking like crazy, I arrive at a different door. it's open so i can look inside. I push me against the wall, I grab a shelf to keep myself on my feet. I slowly look over my shoulder in the room, I see my mom laying there on the ground with a lot of blood around her. I again don't think of the consequences when i scream "MOM!" and i run into the room. I let myself fall onto my knees and i grab her hand, it's all bloody and slippery. I grab her face with both of my hands and i look at it, her eyes are closed. I feel her heart beat by her wrist and i can't catch anything. No. NO NO NO NO NO NO. This can't be happening right now!
