The Mistake | Colby Brock

Chapter Twenty-Three

Colbys pov
I ended up falling asleep on the phone with Emily that night. She made me feel like a teenager again and it was... kinda nice. We have lunch planned at noon and it was currently.. 10:30. I still haven't checked up on Jordan and i'm starting to get worried. She hasn't came out for anything or anyone. I wonder if we did push her too far. I shook my mind off of her and focused on Emily.Although she was nothing like Jordan, there was something about her that was different. I was about to head out a bit early to clear my head when i called Sam over. "Hey man, you called?" His voice was behind me as i stared at Jordan's door. "Help me get in?" I asked more than said, he hesitantly nodded and grabbed his wallet. Let's just say this isn't our first door run. He grabbed a card out and before he slid it along the door he looked back at me. "You sure you wanna do this, Colby?" His gaze was burning through my soul as my eyes started to prick with tears. What if she's dead? I looked down quickly then back at Sam. "Do it." He did as told and with one swipe the door opened. He gasped as he looked blankly in the room. I knew it. She left us. Anger and sadness filled my body. I felt.. empty. She left, without even saying goodbye...and our last conversation was with us saying we hated each other. I was angry- no scrap that, furious at myself for everything. This is your fault. I left her room and went into mine. I started to throw everything off my room. My sticky notes fell to the floor, my mirror shattered, my bed sheets were messed up. But it wasn't enough. I punched my wall. The wall made a huge hole. My hand started bleeding, and with just my luck, Emily was at my door. She gasped at me as she looked at my hand. "Emily... I'm sorry it's not what it-" She cut me off by dragging me to my restroom. She found my first aid kit in my cabinet and rushed to get it open without a word. "Emily..." I cried as my eyes started to water. No answer. She grabbed my bloody hand and applied something that made me hiss through my teeth, she just briefly looked at me then back at my hand. She hopped on the counter and wrapped my hand, holding it in hers. "Emily?" Tears where now down my face as i looked up to her eyes. She pulled me in between her legs and hugged me. That was my breaking point, i cried. She didn't know about Jordan she just knew that something was up. She rubbed my back as i cried onto her shoulder. "It's okay, you'll be okay." She soothed me. I pulled out of the hug and she held my face in her hands, wiping away my tears. "You wanna talk about it?" Her thumb rubbed circles into my cheek and i shook my head no. "I'm sorry Em, i don't think i should talk about it right now, when it's time. I will." I sniffed and my voice cracked. She understood and hopped off the counter. Hugging me by my neck, once she pulled away she looked into my eyes, and... kissed me. It was a soft kiss and at first i didn't kiss back, i pulled away. I looked into her now sad eyes. "I'm sorry i just thought that-" I cut her off by kissing her. Yes i guess it felt wrong, but at the same time i was nice getting affection. I felt cared for. Like a little part of that gap was filled. But i still felt empty. We started having a make out session that lasted for a good twenty minutes. Emily wasn't the best kisser but she wasn't bad. She just didn't have the same effect on me. "Wanna go eat now?" Emily asked as she played with my hair. I nodded and when we got to the car everyone was in the living room, weird. "Um hey guys, don't think i've officially introduced you guys to.. Emily!" I waved my hands at her as she shyly smiled and waved. Sam looked somewhat proud of me but he gave me a slight apologetic look. Corey and Devyn looked absolutely disgusted by me. Why? I didn't do anything! "Um Emily, this is Corey, Devyn, Jake, Tara, Aaron and you already know Sam, and Kat." I pointed to each of them as i said there names and she smiled. "Nice to meet you all.. officially." Corey coughed and stood up walking out of the room. Rude much? Right as i thought of that Jake and Tara cocked there beards towards me, Tara scoffed and walked outside. "Brother can we talk?" Jake spoke up as he stood. "Sure." Is all i said as i went up to Emily's ear. "Just one second, you can wait here until i get back." She nodded and started talking to Kat. Jake pulled me to the garage and closed the door behind us. "Dude, who the fuck is that?" I rolled my eyes "I told you Jake, that's Emily." "That's not what the fuck i meant, we all know she isn't like us, so why the fuck would you bring her here? Not to mention that's Jordan left, she probably knows about Emily!" He was slightly screaming at me now but i didn't care. "How the fuck would she know Jake! She left without a goodbye, she probably didn't even think twice before leaving." He scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Didn't think twice?! Did you not hear the argument we last had?? She said she could've left if she wanted to, and the fact that she DID just proves that we pushed her over the edge. You" He pointed his finger into my chest. "Colby Brock, broke her. You decided to play with her like a toy, you messed around with her, then bam 'it meant nothing' do you know how shitty that is? She hasn't had anyone to fall back on her whole life and when she does find someone they break her to pieces without hesitation. I don't even know Jordan that much and even though i'm hard on her she's like a sister to me. Because i lost my brother she was the fill to the gap i had, and YOU fucked it up. I don't know if she knows about Emily, but if she does, you gotta storm coming your way. So go on, play with her like you did with Jordan, but just know, she is coming back, i know it. And if you're still with Emily and Jordan comes back. You aren't my brother. I don't know about you but i don't like when people mess with my siblings." He shoved me out of his way and went to the door. Just as he was about to leave he turns back."Oh and try and keep it down upstairs." With that he leaves. Fuck, he's right. About everything. I shook it off and walked out. Showing no sign of sadness on my face. I looked around the room to see everyone back but Corey. "Emmy, ready to go?" I asked softly. She stood up and nodded. "Great meeting you guys!" She smiled right as she turned around everyone rolled there eyes. EVEN Kat and Sam.  I shook my head and  we went to Tender Greens. As we were eating we were starting to get to know each other. "Okay, okay, favorite.. scary movie!" I asked as we laughed. "Oh gosh i hate scary movies." What?! "You hate scary movies? How?!" "They're scary!" She laughed making me laugh. "That's why it's called a scary movie!" She shivered and shook her head. "Yea no i do not like those." I remembered for a quick second Jordan loving the Friday the 13th movies. She wasn't scared by any scary movie, so i enjoyed watching them with her. I shoved her to the back of my mind as Emily kept talking to me. She really isn't my type. Maybe i just like the affection? I'm confused. "What is your favorite color?" She asked me, barley eating. Why wasn't she eating? "Easy, blue." "Blue? Why blue?" She looked kinda disgusted at that point and i was getting uncomfortable. "Why not? it fills the Earth. It's the blue sky and the warm sea, it's everywhere, you can't not like blue!" "Really? i dont know blue isn't my color." "Oh." I was disappointed that she was criticizing my taste in fucking COLOR. Jeez, harsh much. "Um okay, what about you?" "Probably black." Oh gosh she was one of those girls. The ones that tried way to hard to be someone they're not. "Black isn't a color?" "Yes it is!" She almost screamed. "Okay, i'm sorry." The rest of the time was mostly quiet, as we finished eating and we went back to my place because she left her car. "I'll just grab my keys and be back, okay?" She smiled. "Yea sure." She hurried into the house, me being the nosy person i am i followed her in without her knowing. I teleported area to area so she wouldn't see me. Once she got to my room she saw her keys on my desk. I was casually watching her through my window when i saw a paper in between my mac. Weird, i don't remember putting a paper there. Emily saw the paper and quickly ripped it out of my mac. What the fuck? I saw her unfold it and quickly read it. I basically heard her scoff from the other side of the window as she CRUMPLED the paper and threw it in my trash can. She quickly ran out the room and i teleported back into my spot. Getting slightly dizzy she walked up to me. "You okay baby?" She asked holding my face. Baby? "Yea just dizzy think i'm gonna head upstairs and take a nap." "Okay, i'll see you later okay?" I nodded and she pecked me on the lips. I waited for her to drive off when i dashed to my room.
