Chapter 27: Ryder

Elliot's POV

Sunday was usually one of my favourite days of the week but for some reason, I couldn't bring myself to like it as much ever since Luke got hospitalised and it seemed like I was back to my old habits. I could feel myself begin to spiral and I hated it. I was smoking more often and drinking again as well as causing trouble outside the town.

"Eli, come join me," Em shouted from the living room while I was sitting by the kitchen island with a cup of coffee in front of me. "Hurry, it's our favourite game show."

I sighed and picked up my mug then walked into the living where Emani was sitting on the couch with the remote in hand. "Has it started yet?" I asked as I joined o=her on the couch and placed the mug on the table in front of us.

"Not yet, but it's starting at five," she answered as she placed the remote back on the table and turned to face me. "Are you sure there is nothing bothering you?"
