What people don't know

Chapter 85

"Let's get you to bed" I say and i lift Elle up and i carry her to her bedroom, "Noooo" she says and she tries to get out of my grip. "Elle you need to sleep" I say and she keep shaking her head. "Noooo noo i don't want to sleepp" she says and she looks at me and pouts. "Why don't you want to sleep?" I ask and she looks down. "Elle?" I ask and she shakes her head, "Your mom is mad at me" she says, and i frown, why does she keep talking about my mom? "What do you mean Elle?" I ask and i put her down on her bed, she just sits there looking at her hands. "Elle?" I repeat and she looks up at me, "She knows what i did" she says and i am so confused right now. "What do you mean?" I ask and i sit down next to her, I grab her hands but she immediately pulls them away and she gets up, she struggles to keep standing and when i want to grab her by her waist to keep her standing she pushes me away and she keeps shaking her head. I am really wondering what the hell is going on right now. "Elle just tell me what's going on, why is my mom mad at you?" I ask, Elle leans against the wall, she doesn't look up or anything, she just keeps staring at the ground. "Elle?" I repeat and i get up from the bed. I walk up to her and i gently push her to the bed and she sits down, "She knows what i did" Elle says again, "What does she know?" I ask and she looks up to me, she has tears in her eyes. "I-i can't tell you" she says and i frown, "Of course you can" I say and she shakes her head, "You'll hate me" she says. I really wanna know what the fuck she did! "I promise I won't hate you" I say and she looks up to me, I see a broken girl in her eyes. I honestly feel so bad for her, what is going on? Who is that twin brother she talked about? His name sounded familiar, but i don't know where i could know him off. "J-just leave, you're b-better off without m-me" she says while she trips over her own words. "I'm not gonna leave" I say and she looks back up to me, she opens her mouth to say something but then she closes her mouth again and she grabs Tommy. She puts him on her lap and she just holds it in her arms while she's looking at the wall. "Elle who is your twin? And where is he?" I ask and she makes eye contact with me, "You really wanna know?" she asks surprised. "Yes" I say and she smiles, "Corbs is the sweetest twin alive" she says and her eyes light up when she talks about him. I smile, "Where is he?" I ask while i look around me, the whole apartment is dark, I have my flashlight on right now so we can see each other. "In the hospital" she says and i frown, "In the hospital? Is he okey?" I ask and she shrugs her shoulders. "I want a drinkkk" she says while she slowly gets up from the bed and she walks to the kitchen, "I'm not sure if that's smart" I say while i quickly get up from the bed, I follow her to the kitchen, she opens some cabinets and she's searching for something. I shine my flashlight to the cabinets so she can see what's she's doing. She grabs a bottle filled with vodka and grabs two glasses, "Uhh Elle i'm not sure if it's smart-" I say but she interrupts me with a finger on my lips, "Shhh" she says and she pours in the vodka in the glasses, "Here you go" she says and she hands me the glass. I shake my head and i put it back down on the counter, she shrugs her shoulders and she takes her shot. "So your twin Corbs, is he okey?" I ask and the smile fades from her face. "Don't know" she says and she starts to walk back to her room, I follow her and i hold her by her waist so she doesn't fall. She lets herself fall onto the bed, she grabs Tommy and pulls him close. She's just looking at the ceiling without saying a word. I know that i can't be interrogating her right now cause she's drunk and all, but i really wanna know what the hell is going on, plus why is the electricity not working? She said something bout expensive, but like her parents can pay for that right? Speaking of them, where the hell are they? Can't they see it's not going good with their daughter? "He's in a coma" Elle suddenly says and i snap out of my thoughts, "Corbs?" I ask and she slowly nods her head. I can see wet trails of her tears on her face, "What happened?" I ask and she looks at me, "Cancer happened" she says and another tear rolls down on her cheek. She quickly wipes it away and she turns her back to me, I put my hand on her shoulder but she moves away from me. "Elle talk to me" I say and she doesn't react. "Elle?" I say and i also sit down on the bed and i scoot over to her.
