Colby's POV
I was trembling, knowing Julia had snapped the way she did just now.
I didn't know why she was with Will, but I think seeing her triggered the same feelings she got when she saw her dad.
It was a part of her that I hated to see, since she looked so broken and so upset. I was terrified she was going to hurt herself while I wasn't watching.
"I'm sorry." Julia said quietly, her voice cracking. "Hey, don't worry about it. I think it's time we go back to the apartment." I said as she wiped her cheeks.
Her hands were shaking and she refused to look at me.
"Jules, sweetheart." I said and reached for her hand, causing her to look up at me. "I wanted to do it." She said quietly.
"Do what?" I asked with a sigh. "Kill him...kill myself.." She whispered. "I know, love. It's gonna be okay. I know you've got a lot going on." I said with a sigh.
"We're gonna go home and you can relax. I just have to go take care of a couple things really fast." I said and sat her down in the chair she usually sat in.
"Don't leave me." She said causing me to frown. "Only for a second, my love." I said then kissed her forehead.
I didn't want to leave her, but I had to go retrieve the gun that was left in Will's room.
He was chained to a wall so he wouldn't even be able to grab it, but I didn't want him getting any ideas.
I was upset that Julia went into his room to talk to him. She was doing so much better in her recovery before this and it broke my heart seeing her take a few steps back again.
When I left the room I immediately went to the room Will was in.
"Co-" He started as soon as the door opened. "Shut up. I told you not to fucking talk to her." I snapped and reached down to grab the gun.
"You-" He tried but I clenched my jaw then hit him in the head with the handle of the gun.
"Enough. I'll deal with you later." I grumbled then turned and left the room, locking it.
Before I could go back to Julia, I had to talk to Jeremy.
"Oh, hey Colby." Jeremy said and looked up at me. "Hey. Jules is having a hard time so I'm gonna take her back. I'll do some work at home, but I want you to take a break." I said as he nodded.
"Have you worked through who gets to live or die?" He asked as I shook my head. "Got through most of them before I heard Julia screaming." I said with a sigh.
"I'll finish my investigation later, I have to get her home." I said then turned to leave the room. "Alright, just keep me updated." Jeremy said with a small smile before looking at his computer screen again.
"Will do." I said then left the room. When I got back to my office, Julia was nervously picking at her nails. When she finally realized I was there she flinched, looking up at me.
"It's just me, sweetheart." I said then came over and reached my hand out. "Let's go home." I said as she nodded, sniffling.
I could tell that Will told Julia something, because she was a lot more cautious.
I noticed her glancing around sporadically as we made our way down the hallway and outside.
"Nobody is going to hurt you, Julia." I reminded. "He said they're watching." She whispered, causing me to scrunch my brow.
"Don't listen to him." I said then opened her car door. "He said you wouldn't believe it." She said and looked up at me.
"I don't want you to worry, darling. None of this is your problem and I'm taking every step to protect you." I said and looked into her eyes.
