What people don't know

Chapter 60

I sit in the chair next to Corbs his bed and i don't talk, I'm not doing anything. I am getting tired but i don't want close my eyes.

After an hour or so the doctor comes in and he tells me that i need to leave, I squeeze Corbs his hand "See you soon Corbs" I say. In my head i hear him say see you soon Ellie, but i know that that's not true.

I don't have a ride home or something so i order a cab, i'm already spending way to much money so why not spend some more.

When i arrive at our apartment i walk to Corbs his room and i lay down on his bed, he has a sweater laying on his bed and it smells like him. I grab it and i hold it tightly, now it kinda feels like he's still here. I breath his sent in and i slowly drift asleep.

I'm holding my mom's hand when i'm hearing a loud bang in the room next to me. I gently lay my mom's hand down and i get up, I grab the knife i was holding and i slowly walk to the door. I put my ear against it so i can listen what's going on. I hear my dad yelling against Corbs, he's threatening him! I slam the door open and i see Corbs laying on the ground with a wound on his head, my dad is holding a gun and he looks surprised i'm still here. "You saw her huh" he says and i nod. I can't talk or anything. I am just shocked about everything that's happening right now. "I am surprised you didn't die or run away already" he says and that triggers the anger in me, I'm not a coward! Yes i hid for most of the time but i'm gonna make that up right now! I feel my legs shaking but i don't care about them. I look at Corbs, he's laying there being all hopeless. I look at my dad again and the anger is completely back. I run up to him with my knife lift up, he holds up his gun but he's too late with shooting. I already smashed the knife in his chest.

The gun falls down on the ground and dad looks at me with a shocked face, I still don't fully understand what i just did when my dad falls down on the ground. The knife is still in his chest and his chest stops going up and down. I crawl to Corbs and i hold him tightly, he also holds me tightly and we just sit there on the ground when we hear the sirens approaching.

I snap out of my dream cause of the alarm that goes off, jeez i can't even have one peaceful night. I am going through hell right now but now of course, the universe clearly doesn't give a shit about me. I slowly get up from the bed and i lay Corbs his hoodie down on his bed. I walk to the little bathroom and i turn on the shower, I look in the mirror and i look absolutely awful. The scratch on my cheek i red, i have bags under my eyes and I have a huge ass break out on my forehead. I get in the shower and i wash my hair and body. I feel numb when i get out and when i get dressed. It feels like i am there but i'm also not. I have a short day today so i can work after school, i also have time to visit Corbs in the hospital. I grab my phone while i take a bite from my apple. I have a lot of texts from Jonah asking how i am doing, I respond that i'm not doing that great. I open tiktok to distract myself from the reality but it doesn't seem to work. I walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth and i blow dry my hair. I walk back to the kitchen and i make a coffee to go for myself, I exit the apartment and i walk to my car.

I start it and i start driving to school, I'm really not looking forward to seeing Samantha and Daniel.
