The Mistake | Colby Brock

Chapter Twenty-Six-Gone

Colbys pov
  It's been a week i think since Jordan has left. I keep trying to push past her but somehow she always ends up in my mind. In my sleep, late at night, passing by her door, or even hearing something that related to her. When i found out she left, i didn't leave my room for a good three days. I couldn't live with myself knowing i let her down. I made her leave. My sadness grew to anger over time and i didn't eat anything for a really long time. One day Sam snapped and basically forced food down my throat. I lost a good 15 pounds and my bones started to show. I've gotten even more pale than usual and one day an unexpected visitor came through my door. Emily. She doesn't know about our powers, but she knew i was hurting and helped me the best i could. No, we aren't official but ive kissed her multiple times. The whole gang is still hesitant about her saying she 'has a bad vibe' but i don't believe them. Today we had a small get together with just the roomies, Tara, Kat,Devyn and Emily. We were all crowded around the kitchen island and i wrapped Emily in a hug from behind. It's almost like she made me feel happy. But like a generic happy, even though i hate J- her for leaving i'll forever blame myself. Who knows? Maybe i'll tell Emily about us one day? Right as i walked away from the group i saw a car pull up across the street. Who the fu- "Jake!" I yelled from the front door. He jogged over to me "Yea brother?" "Are you expecting someone?" I saw fear in his eyes as he turned to me. "Take Emily to your room, now. Stay with her. Don't leave your room until my signal." I simply nodded and jogged to the kitchen. "Hey, everything okay?" Emily's soft voice spoke to me. "Of course, wanna head to my room for a bit? Just to get away." I whispered at her and she nodded, a soft smile on her face. Once we headed out i turned back to everyone and whispered. "Someone's here." They nodded and scattered around the house.

Jordan's pov
  Reggie pulled up and i've never been more excited to see someone alive. "Thank God you're okay." He laughed and kissed Cassie. "Told you, you stinker." I gasped and playfully slapped his arm. "Okay so i have a plan..." I trailed off as he hopped in Reggies car. Fun fact, Reggie taught me how to drive. Just in case of 'emergencys' which consists of taco bell runs and him being too lazy to drive to the gym."Okay so i'm going to go in first, just because they haven't see you guys in years." I stated as Cassie nodded. "I agree Reggie, Jake might freak out if he just randomly sees you." Reggie nodded and turned to me. "Don't ask for Jake first, talk to Colby first. I feel like he'll understand." I groaned and Reggies comment and put my hands in my head. "Do i have to?" I muffled into my hands. "Please Jordan? If anything goes wrong we'll leave and we can come back tomorrow, okay?" I sighed and nodded. "Yea okay." a smile grew on his face and he nodded. "Okay go get 'em tiger." I giggled and hopped out the car. As i got closer to the house, i felt everyone's energy. All worried for some reason but i got one black energy. The same way i felt when i lived with David. I shook it off and politely knocked on the door. The door swung open by an angry Corey. "Hi." I whispered. He looked confused, mad, and sad as he tried to slam the door close. I quickly held it open with the motion of my hand. "Corey..." I trailed off and gave him a sincere look. "You can't be here." He whispered looking down. "Corey, can i come in?" I asked as softly as i could. He nodded and opened the door all the way. I looked into his eyes. "Corey, i need to talk to Colby." He shook his head slightly. "I can't let you do that." I said, "how come?" I asked as i put my hand on his cheek. He shook my off making me jump back slightly. This grew me slightly mad. "Corey i'm going to have to go talk to him one way or another." I said harsher than before. "Hey brother what's going o-" I saw Sam from around the corner as his jaw dropped to the floor. "Jet- um w-what are y-you doing here?" He stuttered out as he scratched his head. "Why are you acting so scared? Missed me?" I joked trying to look behind them. "I need to talk to Colby, well Jake and Colby." Sam violently shook his head as his eyes widened. "Um you can't do that." They're really gonna tell me what i can and can't do? "Awe poor Sammy.. did you forget? I do what i want." I fake smiled as i made a shoving motion with my hand, moving Sam and Corey out of my way. "Jet..." Sam whimpered. "Don't call me that, you lost my respect." I snapped as i walked towards him. "You guys played me. You all messed with my mind. I just wanted to have a conversation with some people. Now if you don't mind i gotta-" I was cut off by my own grunts as i felt a cold metal burn through my wrists. Of course. Unfortunately for them, i've controlled my pains and weakness so this didn't hurt as bad as it did when i first met them. I laughed and looked at the ceiling. I knew Corey was doing this and it made my blood boil. "You guys are cute ya know, thinking i was just gonna come back like the same weak little girl when you guys TOOK me." "It's not like that Jordan, you know that." Corey was still holding my hands and i snapped. I groaned and forcefully moved my hands towards my body in a swift motion, causing the ground to shake, the chains to snap, and Corey to fly back. I spun around and walked to Corey, who was now on the floor groaning in pain. "I don't know any of you. I was lied to, used, compelled MULTIPLE times. Yet i still didn't leave because i felt hope here. You guys gave me false hope and i hate it. I needed time to myself. Without all your petty. I actually wanted to talk to two specific people because of it. Because no matter how much you guys hurt me. How much i'm broken inside, you guys still mean the world to me." I felt tears stream my cheeks then i suddenly heard someone creak the stairs. My bloodshot eyes snapped to the noise and i wish i could've never seen what i did. It was Colby, with a girl next to him. Now it wasn't some friend thing, i felt the romance they had for each other, but also this dark energy from the girl. She was absolutely gorgeous. She was probably the definition of perfect. She had a perfect body, her hair was in perfect waves, and her face was practically glowing, she was perfect. No wonder Colby said what he did. "Jordan?" Colbys voice cracked as we locked eyes. I scoffed slightly and rolled my eyes. "Wow Brock, found your match didn't you? Does she know?" I was referring to the whole gifted thing, anyone with a gift could tell she wasn't like us. "What is she talking about babe?" The girl spoke. Hearing her call him babe made my heart shatter even more. I slowly walked up to him, not breaking our gaze as i turned my head slightly, making his hand pop in front of me. "Guess it was a mistake after all right?" My voice cracked, my eyes cried and i looked away. I reached my hand up and pulled the beautiful black ring off my finger. "Jet..." Colby softly spoke. "Don't call me that." I whispered as i calmly placed it in the palm of his hand. "Keep it, you broke your promise." I said softly but sternly. "I didn't- It's not like that Jet.." I shook my head. "It is like that. Friends... or whatever aren't supposed to break promises. But it's whatever, right? A mistake? Goodbye Colby." Tears left my face as i tried to walk out of the house. It felt like everything was in slow motion. Once i passed Colby, everyone came up to me. Begging me to stay, asking where i went. I just held my hand up and swept them away. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I didn't care if they 'missed' me. For all i know they could be using me. Before i left i was stopped by the one and only, Jake. "Leaving so soon?" He asked, not touching me which i respected. "Wish i didn't have to, we can catch up later." I gave him a stern look, my eyes flashing from red to normal as anger poured out of me. He simply nodded and got out of my way. I walked to Reggies car and got in, old and fresh tears from my face. He sighed. "Guess it didn't go as planned?" He whispered. I shook my head and looked out the window. "Guess not."
