Wake up- Dorbyn

Chapter 1

'Something feels off, I can feel it.'

-Corbyn's P.O.V- 

When I open my eyes, I squint slightly at the harsh glare of light that i'm met with. 

After adjusting my eyes slightly I open them more and look around my room, feeling an odd sensation in the pit of my stomach. It felt as though I wasn't meant to be here, like I should be somewhere else. 

I hear a knock on the door and my mum walks in, "come on Corbs, get up or you'll be late to school." 

A frown settles on my face momentarily at seeing my mum, but I brush it off and stand up to get ready for school. 

When I get down stairs I sit beside Jordan and Ashley as mum gives us plates with pancakes on them. I smile at her in thanks and begin to eat slowly, my mind wondering as I think about everything around me. 

"Corbs, are you okay?" Jordan asks, snapping me out of my trance. 

I think momentarily, wondering if I should tell the truth. I shrug my shoulders, "I really don't know, something just- something feels wrong." I admit. 

Jordan frowns and says, "maybe you just slept badly." 

I nod and say, "yeah. Yeah you're probably right." 

He must be right, mustn't he. 

Right. 

Right? 

-

I get into school and walk to my locker, once there I grab my books. 

As soon as I shut the door I am met with the face of Zach staring right at me, with a huge smile plastered on his face. 

I smile a little and say, "Hey Zach. You good?" 

"He said yes." He says, his voice full of excitement. 

I frown a little and say, "who said yes? 

His smile drops slightly as he says, "Jack. Our best friend, you know the one I've had a crush on since forever. The one I always talk about to you."

I make and 'O' shape with my mouth and nod, "sorry Zach, I remember now. My head is just a little foggy this morning is all." 

His face drops into a concerned look as his eyes scan over my face. 

"What do you mean, you aren't sick right. You're okay yeah, I don't wanna lose you. You're my best friend." He rushes out, making me laugh a little and shake my head. 

"Zach calm down. I just woke up and felt off." I reply. 

He tilts his head a little and gestures for me to elaborate. 

I sigh before carrying on, "I don't know honestly. I woke up and felt like I wasn't meant to be there, it just all felt wrong." 

His eyes brows furrow, and he says, "well do you still feel like that." 

I stay silent for a moment, I take in my surroundings, and feel the pit in my stomach tingle slightly, a weight seemingly getting thrown onto my chest, and the feeling of everything bearing down on you, trying to drag you away. 

I nod numbly, hating the feeling that is radiating through me. 

He frowns deeply and says, "that doesn't sound good Corbs?" 

Before I can reply, a voice speaks up from behind me, "What doesn't sound good." 

I turn around and see Daniel stood there, and as soon as I see him, I feel the phantom sensation of someone holding my hand. 

I hear a small, almost nonexistent voice whisper "Cor- pl- up."

I frown, about to ask if anyone else heard that when Zach says, "Corbyn just woke up and felt off, and like everything is wrong."

Daniel frowns like Zach did and looks at me, as soon as I look at his blue eyes I feel the weight being lifted; thoughts- no memories? start to take a hold of my vision. My hand in his, us laughing at something, me waking up in his arms. 

That's not- how- what? 

"Corbyn, are you okay?" Daniel asks, his hand now placed on my shoulder. 

I nod quickly and stumble backwards slightly, Zach grabbing me and making sure I don't fall. 

"Ye-yeah, I'm sorry. I don't- I don't know what's happening." I ask, as pain shoots through my skull. 

I grab at my head trying to ease the pain, tears build in my eyes as the pain intensifies. I think I can hear talking, but I can't tell who it is or what they're saying. 

My vision is fuzzy, and dark spots begin to dance across my vision. 

One thought goes through my head and that's: 

What the Hell is happening. 

Then it's all black.
