Insane // Colby Brock

104 (multi POV)

(Scarlet's POV)

I woke up being carried to my room. I looked up and saw Gus. "Oh... hi." I said and rested my head on his chest. He set me on my bed and sat next to me.

"Why were you asleep on the couch? Why are there tears on your face? Why are you crying right now? Where's Colby? What's going on please answer me because you're freaking me out." Gus said.

"I don't know where he is, I think he's at Brennen's." I said and let the tears fall. "What the hell happened?!" He asked.

"Well, he's been busy with filming and so because of that, and the fact that it's out 2 year anniversary, he promised that he'd take me out for dinner except he never showed up. I tried texting and calling both Sam and Colby since they were together at Brennen's but they wouldn't answer. I tried to call Brennen but I remembered that I don't have his new number so I tried to dm him but he didn't see it." I said and sighed.

Gus pulled me into him and let me cry it all out. "I will kill him." Gus said through gridded teeth. "Please don't." I said and cried even harder. "I'll try." He spat out. I looked up at him with pleading eyes, causing him to sigh and roll his eyes. "Fine." He mumbled.

"Thank you." I whispered. He nodded and rubbed my back.

Eventually I fell asleep again and it was restless as well.

(Gus's POV)

I want to kill him. Like I actually want to kill him. He has been so distant lately and the one time they have plans he stands her up? No. Like I get that he's been working really hard and all but still. He had plans with Scar. And he's leaving in a few days for a full month!

I'm fuming.

Once I knew that Scar was fully asleep, I moved her over and tuck her into the bed. I look at her for a moment and shake my head. "I know you love him, but I want to kill him. I know I can't do that, but I'm not letting it slide. And you better not either." I said then I shook my head at myself.

"You're going crazy." I mumbled to myself and then left her room, making sure to be as quiet as possible. I went down stairs and waited for Colby to come, that is if he will.

See, I've always been this protective of Scarlet. She has an awful history with guys and after everything she's been through, I just feel like I need to protect her when no one else will.

When the whole thing with her parents happened, I was there, not in that exact moment but I was there for her, when the whole thing with Riley and Deena happened, I was there, whenever she had boy or girl problems, I was there. And I can say the same for her.

We're inseparable and I know that. She's my soulmate. Obviously not all soulmates are in a romantic way, just like us. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I would never date Scarlet. Yeah, we might act like a couple or whatever but that's because one, we're just really close. Two, we're very protective people. Three, we're touchy people. Like our love language (again not just in a romantic way,) is touch. We're very clingy people. Four, we love each other. AGAIN NOT in a relationship way.

The amount of times I've had to clarify that to my fans is way more than I'd like to admit.

Me and Scar are the bestest of friends and nothing more. We're practically brother and sister.

I love her more than anything in the world and I know she feels the same.

People are always like "oh I feel so bad for Gus, like they're rubbing their relationship in his face" and I'm like so? I'm not jealous or anything.

If I wanted a relationship, I'd get one but I'm perfectly fine the way things are now. And plus I'm happy for and love seeing Scar and Colby's relationship. They're adorable.

But don't let that fool you, I still don't like him in this very moment.

Just then, what Scarlet said that Pop-pop said, popped into my head. He said something along the lines of "there's gonna be some bumps in your relationship but I know for a fact that you're soulmates, you'll make it through everything and anything and come out of it 100x stronger."

Okay I know that wasn't really what he said but I added some things in.

My thoughts were interrupted by Colby running into the house.
