《The Diner Girl》CHAPTER 8: What Am I Doing?!?

Advertisement

It's been a few days now since I last spoke with Korah and I may have overreacted a bit but I hate when people assume they know how things are with people when they don't.

Maybe I was just getting more irritated at the fact that this Carusso guy was yanking my chain and have started to think that maybe I should find someone else to do business with.

I have tried avoiding the diner and Korah as well as much as possible but being a small town, that's sort of hard to do.

Tonight, I was bored as hell and decided that since Neko and Brie were out on a date, I thought I would go and see what my dad was doing since the diner was closed.

Except for when I got to the house, I saw that he was already in bed, so I tried messaging Laina up and see what she's doing but she was busy as well. Damn this shit sucked. But I thought might as well take advantage of this time I guess and decided to head towards the bar I own and after drinking a few beers and hanging out with some buddies of mine that I hadn't seen since before I left, I decided to head outside and maybe head home also.

As soon as I walked out, I took out a cigarette and began lighting it when I saw across the street, Korah walking with some guy that looked to be in high school with his hand in hers as they talked and laughed.

Wow, she goes for those kind of guys? I next get a text from Laina saying she's free now so I decide to hop on my bike and go to her place.

After me and Laina were finished hooking up, I headed back to the house to get some sleep. But as soon as I walked past the room Korah was staying at, I couldn't help but stop as her door was opened a crack and I could hear her sniffling. Was she crying?

I don't know why I cared but for some reason I did. Although I know I'm the last person she would want to talk to right now.

I look a little more at her and then notice her placing a blade and tissue on the night stand. Holy fuck! Does she cut herself?! Do I go in? Will I just make things worse? Why does she feel she needs to do that? Has she told my sister about it? My sister used to do that shit and stopped thankfully.

Well I know I can't go to bed now knowing what I just saw and then wake up and find out she had taken her own life. So I gently knock on the door and see her hurrying up and moving quickly, trying to throw the stuff away and then pulling up her PJ bottoms.

"J-just a second." She says.

It takes her a minute and I take a step back trying to hurry up and think of something quick to say.

As soon as she opens the door and looks at me, I can tell by how puffy her eyes look that she's been crying and now looks a little pissed.

"Hey." Is the only thing I can say at this moment.

"Hi. Sorry if I woke you up." She says. "I was just about to go to sleep." She says.

"Oh. Me too. And you didn't wake me up. I just came in and was about to head off to bed also but heard you crying and wanted to make sure you were okay." I tell her.

"Yeah. Sorry. I'm fine. Thanks. Goodnight." She says before I have a chance to say anything else and closes the door behind her.

I stand there for a moment longer just staring at the door and wanting badly to let her know what I had just seen, but I don't and head towards my room and fall asleep not too long after my head hits the pillow.

I wasn't able to get much sleep though as I couldn't get out of my head with what I had just seen with her.

My sister used to cut herself and almost got to the point where there was no getting better. Then one day, she did. She reached out for help and found it and I was very thankful for that because I don't know what I would ever do without my sister.

I had gone and done the things with my club and stopped by a few businesses we owned here before I made my way to the house.

As soon as I got there and walked inside, I saw that Korah was sitting on the couch, watching TV and was about to head off towards my room to avoid any tension or any argument but like an idiot, I couldn't. I had to go and sit next to her and try to make sure things were okay. Because all I could see was my sister and how badly she hurt herself before.

Fuck me! What the hell am I doing?
