Heartless

39

Colby's POV (mixing it up for this chapter)

Once I closed the door I rushed down the stairs, everyone had cleared out of the party. I ran to the front door, Corey and Jake were holding Jason by his arms. Mike and Kevin were holding Jen by her arms, and Sam was talking to the police.

My hands shook with rage as I walked outside. Everyone turned to look at me. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" I said walking up to Jason, he smirked as Jake and Corey restricted him more. "I should beat the fuck out of you." I said through my teeth but looked over at the cops talking to Sam. "I mean you can if you want to go back to jail." He said causing my lip to quiver with rage, "the only person going to jail is you."

I heard Jen laugh from behind me. "What's the matter Colby...are you mad because he helped your girlfriend loosen up a bit?" I turned to her. "What's your deal Jen? You broke up with ME. And now I'm finally fucking happy and you get this idiot to assault my girlfriend? That's low. Even for you." She rolled her eyes, "I broke up with you because you were HEARTLESS Colby Brock." She spoke coldly as Mike and Kevin held her back. "Wait he's heartless? Who was the one fucking filming someone getting assaulted?" Corey said behind me. My jaw clenched as I shook with anger, "you what?!"

She looked scared as I stepped closer to her. "Did you fucking record him doing that?!" She nodded slowly, "give me your phone." I growled, Causing her to grab her phone and give it to me. "Give me the password now." I held her phone in my hands, "she doesn't have to tell you shit." I heard Jason say behind me. "That's it." I said and turned around, punching him in the face. Hard. I looked down at my now bleeding knuckles, as Jason tried to wiggle out of Jake and Corey's grasp. I shook my head, "I wouldn't fight back if I were you." Jake said as I turned back to Jen, "password." She blinked slowly.

"3243." I nodded and walked over to the cops.

"Is the victim here?" I heard one of the cops say to Sam, "yeah, but I don't think she's in any place to come down here." I nodded in agreement, "did they show you this?" I said and pulled up the video Jen took. "No. But that's enough proof for us to arrest them, can we speak to the victim? Is she inside?" One of them looked at me as the other two walked to Jason and Jen putting them in handcuffs. I sighed, "I don't think she's in a place to talk right now, but we can try if you would like." It wasn't a good idea, she could barely even just talk to me let alone the police. The police officer sighed, "the only problem is she would have to come out here, we can't go in there without a warrant." I nodded once, "I'll go get her." I said and combed my fingers through my hair, Sam patted my back reassuringly as I made my way back inside.

I heard her sobs from downstairs, instantly breaking my heart. I jogged up the stairs and opened my door, Devyn flinched as she stood in front of it. She jumped, her fists balled up, about to punch. "Easy dev." I said and looked over at the bed, Kat was holding Cora, rocking her back and forth as she sobbed.

I walked up and took Kat's place, gently playing with Cora's hair, "it's alright I'm here." I soothed as she hit my chest lightly with her hands. Her sobs were so full of emotion, she had never cried this hard in front of us, not even when she got the news about her dad. Tears fell from my eyes as I tightened my grip on her. Kat shuffled to the door and closed it, she and Devyn then embraced and cried to eachother. "sh sh....you're okay." My voice cracked as the door opened, Cora flinched, hiding her face into my chest, as I looked to see who was entering. Sam stood in the doorway, his face full of sympathy. "sh it's okay it's just Sam.." I whispered, causing her to relax a little. Kat walked to Sam and he held her, kissing the top of her head.

"I don't think it's gonna happen." I said quietly to Sam after a few minutes of crying, he knew what I meant. "I'll go tell them." He said and walked out of the room. Cora's sobs turned more into whimpers as time went on, Devyn and Kat eventually left the room, leaving us alone. "I want to die Colby." She mumbled. My heart sank, "don't say that." Tears formed in my eyes as her crying picked up again, "I ruin everything. I don't deserve to be here." I shook my head and kissed the top of hers, "no. You don't ruin everything. You didn't deserve what they did to you, you didn't deserve that." She burried her head deeper into my chest as her sobs eventually died down. "Cora?" I said quietly. She had fallen asleep, as I could hear her quietly snoring. I held her close and tried to fall asleep as well.

I woke up a couple hours later to Cora clawing at my chest, her eyes were closed but she was whimpering. "Don't touch me. Let go!" She mumbled as I grabbed her hands gently with one hand and pushed her hair away from her face with the other. My brother used to have night terrors, I never really had to deal with them but I knew what they looked like. "I've got you I've got you." I soothed as she fell back into a normal sleep, I stayed awake this time, watching her. Her faced was calm for the first time since it happened. I wanted to take all the pain away so she could just be happy.

I silently watched her for hours, making sure she didn't slip into another night terror. She eventually woke up and looked at me. "Good morning." I said quietly as she snuggled into me more. "Good morning." Her voice was raspy. I kissed her forehead, "I'm sorry." I said and she shook her head, "it's not your fault Colby." She said and looked up at me. My chest felt empty as her eyes were still filled with fear.
