Insane // Colby Brock

76

I woke up a few hours later, hearing my phone ringing. I groaned and rolled over towards my phone and picked it up. "Hello?" I asked. "Scar?" Gus asked. He sounded like he was in so much pain, which I knew he was, and it broke my heart.

"Yeah?" I asked. "I need some pain killers, I'm in so much pain." He said and took a shaky breath. I could tell he was trying to keep himself together.

"Okay. I'll be there in a second." I said. "Please hurry." He breathed out and I nodded. "I am." I said and hung up.

I tried to get out of bed but Colby pulled me back. "Colby I need to get up." I said and sighed. He groaned and pulled me closer to him. "No, Colby I really need to get up. Like right now." I said. "Noooooo." He whined. I sighed and forced myself out of his grip.

He whined and groaned and fought against my attempt to remove myself from him, but I finally got free. I quickly grabbed Gus's pill bottle and spilled two out onto my hand.

I then quickly and quietly jogged upstairs and grabbed a glass of water for him, then jogged back downstairs. I made it into his room and my heart broke as I saw him.

He was sitting with his back on the head board, his head in his hands, and the lamp on. "Gus..." I said as I made my way towards him. He looked up and smiled a little.

I returned it and handed him the pills and opened water bottle. He popped the pills into his mouth and then took big gulps of water and sighed.

"Thank you." He said and I nodded. "You're welcome." I said. "I tried to get Tom but... he's a beast." He said and we laughed, but his face screwed up in pain after. "Are you okay?" I asked and he looked up at me.

"I will be. I'm sorry for waking you." He said and I shook my head. "Don't be sorry. I'm glad you did and weren't stubborn." I said and he nodded, closed his eyes, and leaned his head onto the head board.

"Do you want me to stay in here? Do you need something else?" I asked and sat down on the edge of his bed. "You don't have to stay if you don't want to, but I do need one thing." He said and I raised my eyebrows, signaling for him to keep talking. "A hug." He said and smirked. I laughed and moved closer to him, carefully wrapping my arms around him, making sure I didn't hurt him.

He wrapped his arms around me tightly and pulled me closer to him. "Gus you're gonna hurt yourself." I said. "I don't care. I need a hug from my best friend." He whined and I laughed.

We stayed there for a little bit longer until I pulled away. "You need to sleep or you won't heal." I said and pointed my finger at him. He laughed and carefully shook his head. "Okay, mom." He said and I laughed. "Whatever, get some rest. Seriously. And call me if you need anything. You know I'm here for you whenever." I said and he nodded.

"Thanks again, you're the best." He said and winked. "I know." I said and flipped my hair, causing us both to laugh.

I waved before turning and closing the door, making my way back to my room. I quietly closed the door and made my way to the bed, being careful to not wake Colby up.

I carefully slid into the bed and sighed, closing my eyes. I gasped slightly as I felt Colby wrap his arm around me and instantly pull me into him. "Are you up?" I asked quietly. "Yeah." He said quietly. "Oh, did I wake you?" I asked. "Eh. I've been up since you left. Where did you go?" He asked.

"Gus needed pain killers." I said and he nodded. "Night baby, I love you." I said. "Night, love you too." He mumbled, his voice muffled by my hair. Not too long after, he was out and so was I.

The rest of the night was me waking up to help Gus. I really didn't mind but I knew that he felt really guilty so I tried really hard to show that I wasn't upset with him. I also could tell that he was struggling so I tried to cheer him up the best I could, and it worked.

I feel so bad for him. I've never seen him in so much pain. I guess falling off a cliff and slamming into a rock would do that to a person. Although, I don't know why he ran after the thing... ghost?... demon?.... We'll go with demon. I don't know why he ran after the demon. Like yeah I know he thought it was me but why wouldn't I say anything, why wouldn't I move, why would I just stand there?

I obviously don't blame him or anything. I don't know, this is all just so crazy.

But what I do know is that I have problems with that wanna be me, demon thing.
