What people don't know

Chapter 62

I slowly slide down my car and i sit on the ground, my head is still buried in my hands. Why is this all happening to me? What did i do to deserve this shitty life? Come on Elle get yourself together, you're just gonna call an uber and deal with your car later. I dry my tears and i look up, the sun is shining in my eyes so i hold up my hand. Suddenly a shadow moves in front of me and i see Daniel standing there. I quickly get up and i grab my books, I look at the ground when i walk away. He grabs my wrist and my first reaction isn't to slap him. Okey this is new, "I'll give you a ride home and i'll fix your tires" he says and i shake my head no, "I do not need your help" I say with puffy red eyes from crying. Who am i joking? I do need him. "It wasn't a question Elle, I know that this is all my fault" he says while he points at my car. I frown, "What do you mean?" I ask, "Because i pay attention to you Samantha is mad, so i brought you in these problems and i'm gonna help you fix them okey" he says and i only nod. "Come on" he says and he holds up his hand for me, I don't grab it but i do give him a weak smile and he's happy with that too. We silently walk to his car and get in, "So to your house?" he says while he starts the car, "Uhm no actually could you maybe bring me to the hospital?" I ask. I can see that he wants to ask me why, but he doesn't. I am glad he doesn't, cause i'm not gonna tell him the truth and i don't wanna lie again. Daniel just nods as an answer and he drives away, we exit the parking lot and we enter the road.

We drive in silence, it's not awkward tho, it feels kinda nice.

When we arrive at the hospital i thank Daniel for the ride and i get out of the car. He smiles at me and then he drives away, he told me to send him a dm when i want to go so he can pick me up again. i don't think i'm gonna do that but it's a nice offer.

I enter the hospital and i walk to Corbs his room, he's laying there in the bed, with machines attached to him. The doctor told me to talk to him cause he can hear me. "Hey Corbs" I say while i sit down on his bed and grab his hand. "I miss you so much at home and you haven't even been here for a day. I am a total mess without you" I say and i feel the first tear roll over my cheek again. Gosh i am such a crybaby. I tell Corbs everything that has happened, I tell him about Samantha, Daniel plus how confused i am and that i don't know what to do.

I don't get why i snapped at Daniel like that, it's normal to complain about your mom, maybe i snapped at him cause i can't complain about mine anymore. After an hour the doctor tells me to leave and i give Corbs a big hug, "See you soon Corbs" I say and i give him a kiss on the cheek. I let go of him, grab my backpack and i exit the hospital. I grab my phone to call an uber to my work when i see Daniel standing in front of the hospital with a huge teddy bear and an i'm sorry sign, what the fuck?!
