Ours- Colby Brock

Chapter 14

14.

Colby: You'll die.

What? WHAT?

Me: What?!

Colby: I'm coming to pick you up.

Me: What do you mean I'LL DIE?! Don't play pranks on me!

Colby: I'm. Dead. Serious. AND DON'T STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING ROAD!

I quickly walked to the sidewalk.

I heard someone running again but they were.... closer.

Okay. I'm actually scared now.

Me: Colby who will kill me? I'm scared.

Colby: *Read*

I looked around. I got scared by a bird on a roof of a house.

I checked my phone again.

Colby: *Read*

Fucking answer!

Should I go near the street light so he can actually see me when he comes?

Yes.

Actually, no. What if someone stabs me in the back?

Now when I think about it, it is too quiet here.

Too. Quiet.

Are there any people living in these houses?

I checked my phone again.

Colby: *Read*

Me: ANSWER FOR GOD'S SAKE

When I locked my phone and looked around again I got a weird feeling.
A feeling that someone is watching me.

I was not keeping my eyes off of the houses. I feel like someone is DEFINITELY watching me.

How did I even end up here?

I unlocked my phone for the 100th time.

Colby: *Read*

Me: I feel like someone's watching me.

Colby: *Read*

Me: WHERE ARE YOU? WHO WILL FUCKING KILL ME?!

I'm getting really mad at Colby.
And I'm scared for my life.

I heard that person running again.

It was close.
Like.
Right around the corner.

I was frozen. I didn't know what to do.

Me: Colby? Is that you running?

Colby: *Read*

I turned around.

Somebody. Is. There.

My heart is going crazy.
My breaths are fast.

I can't see this persons face. It's too dark.

My phone beeped.

Colby: No.

Shit.
Shit shit shit.

Colby: I'm almost there.

Me: Colby...there is someone here.

Colby: *Read*

Me: COLBY!! JUST COME ALREADY!! THERE IS A PERSON STARING AT ME!

Then I heard a car and before I can even process what the actually hell was going on, Colby's car was right next to me.

"Come on! Climb in!"
He said.

I was still looking at that person.

"Colby....who is that?"

"JUST GET IN THE FUCKING CAR!!"

I opened the door to his car and sat down.

"Why weren't you answering my texts! I was scared for my life!"

"What the fuck are you doing here in 4 am!"

He was driving and waiting for my answer. He was so angry.

"Lost your tongue?"
He said.

"Oh....umm....I don't know..."

He sighed.

"I was so worried for you..."
He said.

I feel really bad now.

God, why do I always have dumb ideas...

"Colby..."

"Yeah...?"

We were driving in silence. It wasn't awkward or anything like that...it was actually..
Homely?

"Who could have killed me? Why were you outside my house? Who was that person and when the heck did you get a car?"

He didn't answer right away. He was just looking at the road.

"Bad people. To check on you. I don't know. A long time ago."

I rolled my eyes.

"So you actually think I'll be satisfied with the answer 'bad people'? I want an explanation Colby! Who the hell would want to kill me!? I never did anything wrong! And who are these bad people!? What the fuck did I ever do to them?!"

Colby was just getting angrier an angrier. You could tell by his face. But I wanted my answers. You can't just tell someone 'you'll die' and not even explain.

"Colby, answer me for fucks sake!"

He hit the brakes.

"FOR FUCK'S SAKE SYDNEY SHUT UP!"

I was scared...again.
This really reminded me of the time he used to bully me...

He wiped his face with his hands.

"Gosh....."
He said.

"I'm sorry..."
I apologized.

"It's not your fault...It's just..."
He started.

I waited a couple seconds for him to finish his sentence but he didn't.

"It's just what?"

He started driving again.

"Nothing....just go home. I'll explain another time."

I nodded even though he can't look at me.

The rest of the ride was silent. Again- it wasn't awkward...

He dropped me off at my house and said bye. I waved back.

I climbed the tree, jumped through the window and crashed on my bed.

I checked my phone. 6:24 am

At least no one is up yet.

I still can't explain anything to myself...

Who wants to me kill me? What did I ever do to them!?

Colby won't even explain...
But if he doesn't..

I'll just figure it out myself...
