The Adventure of My Dreams {Colby Brock}

Eighty Six

"Home sweet home." Colby said as we walked into the house, causing me to let out a sigh.

"I'm going to be sleeping more than anything, you guys can finish your investigation." I said, walking to the living room to go sit down.

"It's not the end of the world, Soph. I want to make sure my girlfriend is okay."

"I'm a big girl. I can take care of myself." I said, crossing my arms over my chest.

"I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Jake! Everytime I try to look out for you guys, I'm the bad guy to him. I ruin the fun. I took the blunt of that hit because he knew it would put me down just enough. He wanted to posses Jake. He is still there, and if something happens it's his fault. Right now he's there because of me, and he's so into the thrill of everything he doesn't realize how much danger he's in." I slowly pushed myself up from the couch and started to make my way over to the kitchen. "Maybe you should talk to your friend, Brock. I'm tired of being the bitch just for looking out for peoples best interest. I'm sure Tara would love for her boyfriend to come home unharmed."

"That's it!" Sam yelled out, causing me to flinch. "Sorry, I forgot about the worst headache in the world, but you just gave me an idea. What if we can get Tara to convince him to stop? You know she's not into him collecting these kind of things."

"Try it then." I grabbed a frozen bowl of ramen and tore the plastic off, walking over to the sink and filling it up to the line with water, and placed it in the microwave to cook.

"I'm gonna go call her." Colby said and walked past us, heading to the back yard.

"I'm sorry for being a bitch, but I'm tired of getting attacked or yelled at because of him. It's like he has zero respect for me as a person sometimes and it's so fucking frustrating." I said, letting out a sigh.

"You don't need to apologize, we all saw what happened to you. I'm not sure if he's even going to live with us much longer, he's been acting a little weird around us lately."

When the microwave beeped I took out my bowl of ramen and grabbed a fork, going to sit at the island.

"I'm surprised you're up and moving this much, you were out for a while." Ryan said.

I shrugged lightly. "I guess I needed a nap, but I still feel a little bitchy. I might just need to test out getting high, that's what always relaxes me."

"You have every right to be bitchy." Angelina said as she sat down next to me. "You can do something that none of us can, and it's an incredible gift. You just tried to do what was best, babe. Don't beat yourself up over that."

"If anything, I'm glad I could keep you and this little one safe." I said, rubbing my hand over her small bump. "Plus it wasn't a serious concussion, if it was they one hundred percent wouldn't release me."

"Wait, but if you can't go back home for Christmas, how are you going to get the surprise done?" Sam asked.

"Before all of this happened, Evan called me from a blocked number. It just said no called ID so I answered it. Spirits know how to manipulate phone lines, so doing anything to be safe in a place of that magnitude, I went along with it."

"Okay, so where does that put us?" Sam asked.

"Evan and his fiancé are the ones buying the house."

"No fucking way!" Angelina exclaimed, immediately muttering out "sorry".

"But, yes way. He realized how bad things were at Thanksgiving, and when I was there I told them about Colby. I guess he finally feels bad and wants to try and make things right. Which is why he offered more for the place, and he said that he would send a uhual here with my stuff. So I'll need help getting my stuff moved in. I was told that I would hear from the realtor tomorrow about the place I saw with Sam and Kat. So if I get that, I'll call Evan and ask him to get things moving. He also offered to do it so I didn't have to come back down there."

"What about your car?" Ryan asked, I shrugged lightly. "He said he would take care of everything, so I guess we'll see?"
