Insane // Colby Brock

37

"What the hell!?" I whisper yelled and jumped back. "Yeah. I woke up, looked down, and boom, there was a knife on the ground." He said.

"But what's weird was it was closer to the middle of us. Not at your feet." He said. I picked up the knife and walked to the kitchen.

I put the knife back, turned the lights on, and then sat down on the couch, Jake following me and sitting down as well.

"Can I tell you something that I haven't told anyone else yet?" I asked. "Ooo secrets." He said.

"So you obviously know that my dreams seem to predict stuff.... right?" I asked and he nodded. "Well, ever since Crystal," we both cringed. "'Removed' the shadow man from Corey, I've had these nightmares that there's something more evil here now." I said.

"Like I see this evil, evil, dark shadow. Even more evil than the shadow man. And he just feels so close. Like so close, it's weird. And I've only had those nightmares since she's came here and did whatever she did." I said and Jake nodded along.

"It would make sense if she did put something more evil on us, she's a psychopath." Jake said. "You know, I don't think anyone told me what happened after I passed out." I said.

"Really?" Jake asked and I nodded. "Yeah, because I woke up in the hospital, the next day I was taken for a week, then I just got back... and now we are here... so no, I never heard what happened." I said.

"It's been a rough 2 weeks." Jake said, causing me to laugh. "It really has. Now come on, I'll make us a snack and you tell me what happened." I said. He nodded and we went into the kitchen.

I got out the stuff to make sugar cookies and Jake sat down. "Okay so, while she was like... I don't know, doing whatever she was doing to you, we were all trying to get her to stop but she said that you were fine. Eventually you started saying 'ow' and 'help' so Gus and Colby and Tom told her to stop but she wouldn't. Colby got angry and ripped her hands off of yours and you just stood there, not looking so well." He said as I slowly nodded and continued to make the cookie dough.

"You passed out and Tom caught you. Crystal lunged at Colby and kissed him and said some crazy shit like 'now that she's gone, your mine' and 'I love you, you love me, just admit it.' And stuff like that." He said as he did a terrible impression of her.

"Then Corey held her back, we called the cops, blah blah blah she got taken away and we brought you to the hospital because you wouldn't wake up. Bad idea, sorry." He said as I nodded.

"Wow." I said and he nodded. "Oooo can I have some cookie dough?!" He asked as I laughed and nodded, giving him a piece and eating one myself.

"This shits bussin!" He said as I cringed. "Please don't ever say that again." I said and we laughed.

I ended up not even baking the cookies, but instead we ate all of the cookie dough. "We are so gonna regret this in the morning." I said. He nodded and flopped onto the couch.

"I'm not feeling too good." He said. I quickly got him a bucket and he threw up in it.

"Do you want me to stay down here with you?" I asked and he shook his head. "No, go sleep. I'm gonna try to as well. I'll let you know if I need anything." He said and I nodded.

I quickly ran to the kitchen and got us both some ginger ale and waters. "Here, take slow sips. I got you some cold ginger ale and water. Remember, slow. Sips." I said and he nodded. "Thanks Scar, night." He said. "Night Jake, feel better." He nodded and then passed out.

I chuckled and went back upstairs. I carefully went into my room, trying not to wake anyone up, and I saw that Colby was awake. He was sitting there, rubbing his eyes. "Did I wake you?" I asked.

"Kinda, I started to wake up and noticed that you weren't here so I was about to go looking for you. Where did you go?" He asked. I went over to my nightstand, put my drinks down, and then grabbed my phone and turned the ringer on and shot Jake a text.

Me: ringers on, call if you need anything.

"Well-" I started but was interrupted by Colby. "Wait." He said. I furrowed my eyes brows and turned to him. He made grabby hands at me and pouted his lip.

I smiled and laid in bed with him. He pulled me closer to him and rested his head on my chest. "Continue." He said. I played with his hair as I told him the story.

"So, I woke up from a bad dream and was really hot so I got up and turned on the fan, then heard a loud bang from downstairs. I went to look to see what happened and I saw Jake. He was awake and looking at something on the ground. Long story short I scared him, there was a knife, it apparently moved right to my feet, I remembered I didn't know what happened after I passed out," when I said that, his body stiffened.

"So I told him that I would make us a snack and he would tell me as I baked, so he agreed and we went into the kitchen. I wanted to make sugar cookies from scratch so I did while he told me the story. After that he asked for some cookie dough and we ended up eating all of the cookie dough. He threw up into a bucket I had gotten him, I got us drinks, then went upstairs. But I'm now regretting the cookie dough because I can feel it coming up, please move. Quickly." He lifted his head and I sprung up and ran into my bathroom.

I threw up all into the toilet and Colby came in, grabbed my hair tie, tied my hair up, and rubbed my back.

It's gonna be a long night.
