Next Door // Colby Brock BOOK TWO

Chapter 6

Hayden

I laid on my bed, just staring at the ceiling. Not really knowing what to do. We came home from the hospital yesterday, and I've been in bed ever since.

Colby comes over from time to time, just checking on me and sometimes hanging out a bit. But I've been so depressed after I lost the baby, so I don't think hanging out with me is fun at all.

The doctor tried to find the reason for my miscarriage, they didn't know exactly why it happened, but they told me that my uterus had a inhospitable environment. Which means that I might not get pregnant again, and I was lucky to even get pregnant.

I don't know how I feel about that, but it's not much I can do about it. I mean, the only thing I can do is to accept it. Anyway, I finally stopped crying a few hours ago and I'm still sad as fuck, and I don't really want to be alone, but at the same time I do.

Suddenly there was a knock on my door, I called the person in and sat up in my bed. Colby came inside and quickly walked over to me. I smiled at him.

"How are you feeling?" He asked as he sat down on the bed beside me. I shrugged, not really knowing what to answer. "At least you stopped crying." Colby said and tried to lighten the mood, which he did, I chuckled and nodded.

"I'm still sad, but I think I'm feeling a bit better?" I told him, it almost sounded like a question. I guess I could say that I'm feeling better, but that might just be because I stopped crying. If I cry, I get even more upset about something and when I'm done crying, I always feel somewhat better.

"Well that's good." Colby said and looked at me, I couldn't help but stare back at him. The familiar feeling I get every time I'm with Colby, kinda makes me feel better. I don't know why, but it's always been like that.

Well not at the beginning when I acted like the most awkward person ever.

"Do you want to watch something?" I asked and turned towards my laptop.

"As long as we don't have to watch friends." He said and I burst out laughing. Memories of us watching friends, he complaining all the time, but ended up enjoying it anyway.

"Face it, friends was a gift to this world!" I exclaimed with a grin, Colby just laughed and shook his head at me. "But we can watch something else, you can pick." I agreed with him and he smiled.

After watching Colby trying to find something to watch, for like 15 minutes. He finally just started a random movie and both of us fell silent, focused on the screen.

At this moment, everything felt peaceful. I didn't think about my miscarriage or anything that would affect me in a sad way. It was really nice, I missed having someone around me that made me feel this way.

I don't think I still have feelings for Colby, even though he makes me feel this way. I've dated Mason after him, so I would like to say that I'm over him.

After what happened yesterday, we both have a lot of emotions, towards each other and what each feel about this situation ourselves. I think that might be the reason I feel so close to him right now, because we both are going through the same thing.

Which is sad, I never thought this would be the way things went.

We laid in my bed for hours, just watching movies and talking, at some point we moved positions so I was laying on him and he held his arms around me.

At that point I felt butterflies in my stomach and I couldn't help but smile. It felt nice to have that feeling again, I don't know why, but it just felt right.

"I'm hungry." Colby suddenly said, making me jump slightly, I looked at him with wide eyes, but he just laughed at me.

"Dude, not cool." I shook my head in amusement as he smirked at me. "Anyway, I'm hungry too. I guess we can go somewhere to eat." I told him. Colby got up from my bed and I groaned, but got up anyway.

I changed into some jeans and a hoodie, before we headed out to his car.

The drive was silent, we didn't talk much, we only decided on where to eat and that was that. I think both of us have to many thoughts running through our minds, but that's alright. I guess all we need right now is each other.

As much as I don't want to say it, I really need Colby. And I'm sure he needs me as much as I do.
