Corl-

I wake up with the feeling of terror taking over me as I hear a deafening noise near my window. I sit up on my bed and rub my eyes before finding the source of the sound. I slowly set my foot on the ground. My breathing is unsteady and I feel my palms shaking. This could very well be an intruder situation.  That's one of my worst fears.

I take a deep breath and make my way over to the window, the sound came from that direction. The cold breeze of the night is making this scarier, my heart is literally in my stomach right now. I freeze as I reach the window. The blinds are shut, I just stand there convincing myself to be brave and open them.

I give myself a ted talk in my mind for a good minute. Then I just open my window quickly with force to get it over with.

I realise my eyes are actually closed, I must've done it subconciously out of fear. I brace myself and flutter open my eyes. I am met with a man standing right outside my window wearing all black with his hood up and head down to the ground.

I jump back and land on the floor as the man enters my room through the open window. It happened so suddenly, I didn't even have time to react or defend myself.

"You are fucking evil, corl." and with that he takes off his hood and looks at me. It's Ethan.

"What the actual fuck Ethan?" I get up and dust myself off. What is this hooligan doing at my house at this hour? He almost gave me a heart attack. I am furious at Ethan, who does that? He's fucking crazy.

I shoot him a look and signal him to get the fuck out of here but he doesn't move. He stands his ground. If he doesn't move in the next 5 seconds I think I am going to fucking throw him out the window.

"I want revenge. I can't stop thinking of Elijah." He says after a short pause.

After hearing that, I try to put on a more kind and understanding demeanour. His brother just went missing, Ethan is allowed to go crazy i guess.

"Sit down." I stroke the empty space beside me and invite Ethan to sit down next to me on my bed.

"You hurt him so much, you dick." He gives me these bone-chilling eyes filled with rage. He is making me question my safety.

"I read about what happened at your birthday party from my little brother's perspective. " Ethan continues speaking with a demanding voice. He is talking about the diary, I assume.

"Look dude, calm down, ple-" I make an attempt to lower the intensity of this situation but Ethan interrupts me mid sentence,

"You invited the fucking jocks who were Elijah's bullies to your birthday party, what kind of a friend are you dipshit?" he points and screams in my face.

"Look you don't know the full story but I'm sorry anyway, okay?" I make another attempt to resolve this and make Ethan clam down.

"It was supposed to be a close get together but you fucking ruined it all! You hurt Elijah! I can't believe you were on your friend's bullies side! You're a fucking disgrace, Corl." He is still fuming.

I scoff. Ethan is getting on nerves now, it's time that I put him in his place, "That's coming from you? How ironic. Dude, you were the one who traumatized Elijah by allowing your former jock friends to torment him and bully him. We were the ones to fucking comfort him if anything. You're a shitty brother." I say.

I feel myself getting goosebumps as I witness Ethan's whole attitude shift after hearing that, he looks like a lost kid with tears forming in his eyes. He puts his hands over his face and screams like a maniac.
