What people don't know

Chapter 27

I look at Corbs, we both don't get out the car. We just sit in silence, I feel a tear roll down my cheek, i don't bother to wipe it away. I look at Corbs, he also has tears on his cheeks, he catches me looking at him. He weakly smiles at me, he grabs my hand and holds it tightly.

I don't know how much time has passed, but after some time we get out of the car. Corbs leans on his walking stick, I walk to him and i wrap my arm around his chest. He lays his arm around my shoulders. We slowly enter the graveyard, it is really quiet. I look around me and i don't see that much people. We slowly walk to the place where mom lays. When we arrive there we just sit down at the ground, it's summer now so it's pretty hot out. I am wearing a sweater with some leggings, but i am wearing a t-shirt underneath. I pull of my sweater and i put it on the ground, I sit down on it and i pull my legs up to my chest. Corbs also pulls off his sweater and sits down. He wraps his arm around my shoulders, I lay my head on his shoulder. I feel the warm and soft tears slowly rolling down my cheek. "I miss her" I say while i just keep looking at the stone which has her name on it. Saskia Carola Besson, she died a little more than a year ago. "I know, I miss her too Ellie" Corbs says while he holds me tightly. We just sit there in silence.

I am completely lost in my thoughts when i hear some footsteps approach us, I immediately jump up and i look around me. I see two teenagers walking to us, I frown. I have never seen those kids before. I help Corbs stand up and we sit down at a bench. I grab our sweaters from the ground and i push them into my small backpack. "You are the besson kids right?" a boy with black hair says, "Why" I ask and i get up from the bench, I am shorter than him but hah that's no suprise. "So your mom got killed" he says, I clench my fists and my jaw. I look up to that boy, "Why do you care?" I say and he shrugs his shoulders. "Just wanted to check out if you guys are as weird as all the other people say, everyone says that you guys should be messed up because of the things that happened to you guys" I frown, "damn, are you guys obsessed with us or what?" I say while i help Corbs stand up straight. "no just wondering" the guy with the black hair says, there's another guy with him. He doesn't say anything, he just sits there, looking at me. "come on Corbs let's go get some food" I say while i wrap his arm around my shoulders. I look over my shoulder, I see those kids walking to our mother's grave. I help Corbs enter the car, as soon as i walk to the other side to get in i hear a loud sound.
