Unbroken C.B

33

*Leighton's POV*

"Can I ask you a question?" I spoke up, causing Colby to look up from his phone

"Yeah?" He replied in a confused tone, his face scrunching up a little when I let out a deep sigh

"How do you break up with boys?" I asked, catching him off guard

"Wait- with Silas?" He asked and I nodded slowly. "Well is he a boy, or a man?" Colby asked, confusing me.

"....he has a penis, if that's what you're asking?"

Colby laughed, shaking his head

"Breaking up with a boy is a lot different than a man. Breaking up with a man is easy, they don't really care" is all he said, not making me feel any better

".......... they don't care?" I asked and he shook his head, not realizing his words were causing the anxious feeling in my chest.

"So... he's not gonna care?" I checked, making sure I heard him right, and I think that's when it clicked, because I watched his eyes go wide before shaking his head.

"What's not what I meant! What I mean is men and women are more mature than girls and boys. If you're honest, it should be fine. Why do you want to break up with Silas?" He asked, and I sighed yet again.

"I just.. um.. well.. the other night... he wanted to uh.. take it to the next level. I shot him down saying how sore I was, which is true.. I'm sore... but I'm also horny as fuck. Pregnancy when you're single is a bitch. Anyway, I uh.. I'm struggling to um... you know what, never mind. Thanks for the advice" I shot down, reaching across the table to grab more of our shared fries, which was my current pregnancy craving

Colby smirk at me, raising an eyebrow "Are you embarrassed to talk about sex with me? And to think I thought we were becoming friends" he grinned and I felt my face get warm.

"I just.. we aren't friends like that.. right? I've never had a boy friend. Wait.. I've never had a male friend. I have River, but he's like an extension off Aaliyah. I don't see him that much because he has a lot on his plate right now with watching his niece and such. I haven't seen the two of them that much.. and it's weird to look at you and say the word horny" I shrugged and he choked on his fry, laughing.

"Why?"

"Because we don't know each other like that!" I defended myself.

"Then let's get to know each other like that. Hell, the internet knows me like that" he laughed again and I gave him a weird look.

"Huh?"

"You don't- have you really never googled us? Leigh, if I had access to videos of you that go years back, I'd be binge-ing it all, getting all sorts of blackmail! You've never even looked?" He asked and I shook my head.

"The farthest I've gone is stalking your guys' Instagram's. Why, what should I know? Are you secretly some porn star?" I asked and he shook his head, chuckling.

"Our friends Kian and JC came over one day to film, and found something in my room" he shrugged, not seeming phased.

"What did they find?" I decided to ask, not thinking through if I actually wanted to know or not.

"Handcuffs" he shrugged and my eyes widened.

"Handcuffs- why?" I stopped, asking and he just stared at me, eating another french fry. "Don't you like.... Don't you get like.... Flashbacks?" I asked, and he gave me a weird look.

"Flashbacks?" He questioned and I nodded. "What do you mean?"

"From when you went to jail?" I asked and he shook his head.
