What people don't know

Chapter 43

We just keep sitting there on the sand, he scoots over over to me, he wraps his arm around me and i put my head on his shoulder. And to be honest this is very rare, I hate it when people touch me but when Jonah wrapped his arm around me i felt fine. Not safe or anything but fine, it just felt normal, it felt like it used to be. When i was younger i didn't mind it when people would randomly hug me or anything, but now. Since what happened....

When the sun has set we slowly get off the blanket, "So how are you really doing Elle?" Jonah asks, I look at him with a raised brow. "What do you mean?" I ask and i frown, "Well Corbs is sick... So how are you dealing with that... I think it's really hard with svea... she's so young... " he says and he looks at his hands. I grab his hands and i make eye contact with him, "Well i am doing okey, not great but not bad either. I just really hope the chemo doesn't make him too weak. And about Svea, I know that she will beat cancer. She will be the one she used to be when the chemo is out of her system." I say and i smile at Jonah. He quickly wipes a tear away, "If you want to talk or anything just call me okey?" I say while i pull him into a hug, yes you read that right, I pulled him into a hug. I never do these things but it felt good, I saw that he was having a pretty hard time. "Thanks Elle" he says while he leans on my head with his chin. "You are pretty short you know that?" he says and i shake my head and laugh, "Really didn't know that" I say while i playfully push him away. We just laugh and joke around for some time and then we drive back on Jonah's motorcycle, if i ever earn enough money i want one too. It feels so nice! You can feel the soft air going through your hair plus i felt so free!

"I had so much fun today thanks Jo" I say while i give Jonah another hug, "I had fun too" he says and he smiles at me. "I am glad that we became friends" he says and i no, "Yeah me too, and like i just said if you need anything or if you want to talk just call okey?" I say and Jonah nods, "You should do the same!" he says and i nod and smile. "Well goodnight!" I say while i start walking to the door, "Do you need to work tomorrow at 12?" he asks and i nod, "Yupp" I say and i turn around and look at him, "I'll pick you up so we can go together! If you want to tho" he says and he plays with the keys in his hands. "I would love to! I loved the drives on your motorcycle!" I say and he laughs, "Yeah i figured that out" he says. Then i open the door which lead to the staircases and i walk upstairs. I quickly enter Corbs and mine apartment and i see Jonah driving away on his motorcycle. I walk to Corbs his room but the bed is empty, huh? He's not in the kitchen neither. I walk to my room and i see that he's laying in the middle of the bed, I smile, I am so happy with him. I am such a lucky sister. I change into my pj's, set an alarm and i get in bed.

I can't really sleep, I've been turning and turning. I get up and i look at the time, it's now exactly midnight. Hmm why can't i sleep? I grab the astrology book me and Corbs own and i just look at some pictures. After a while i feel my eyelids getting heavier, I put the book on my stomach and i slide down so i am laying on my back. After a few seconds i am gone.
