Chapter 32: Elliot

It didn't take long for Neil to come rushing in and pulling me into another tight hug which made Daniel roll his eyes in agitation.

"Luke!" was all he said and I knew exactly what he was trying to say without him having to say it. Neil pulled back and hugged Mum which also made Daniel roll his eyes. I truly didn't understand why the two of them didn't get along when they had known each other for the longest.

Patience and Lynn also came over but I kept hoping that I would be able to see Elliot among the people that came to see me. But as the time went, I knew that he wasn't coming no matter how much I hoped.

"We are glad that you are finally awake," Patience said as she held my hand in hers. "It was getting harder to pretend like everything was okay when it wasn't."
