All I Wanted Was You // Colby Brock

26 - News reports and suspicions.

We pulled up to the hotel around 5:45pm and decided to go up and start planning and then order some room service.

We all sit down on the couches and beds and Jake is watching the tv.

"What're we gonna do guys?" Sam said.

"I don't know man but this isn't good. This whole story is so crazy. Nobody would believe us" I said running my hands through my hair.

"Uhm guys?" Jake said turning up the tv.

"Search for a young girl, Isabella Heyward, takes a dark turn when a body is pulled from the Aztec falls in San Bernardino. Reports say a couple who were hiking along the trail when they saw a young woman laying on the rocky shore line. They tried to resuscitate her but were quick to see that the body had been stabbed multiple times in the chest. It is unsure if this is the missing young girl, as no tests have been run to confirm her identity" the news reporter said.

I felt myself drop to the floor unsure of when I even stood up.

I cried. And cried. And cried.

I couldn't hear Sams consoling words between his own sobs.

I couldn't hear Jake running over to the girls room to tell them.

I could only hear my own cries as a laid on the floor in sams arms praying to god it wasn't her.

Praying that she was still out there somewhere.

The sobs were interrupted by a phone ringing, it was after a few moments when I realized it was indeed my own.

I answered the phone and it was the Los Angeles police department.

"Hello, is this Cole Brock?" The deputy asks.

"Yes"

"We found a body, and we need you to come identify if it's Isabella Heyward"

I drop my phone and stare ahead at me before running to the bathroom and throwing up.

In the room I could hear Sam on the phone talking to the detective.

I could hear Jake on the phone with Devyn and Corey.

I could hear the girls on the phone with Taylor.

I could hear it all but I couldn't pull myself to say anything.

I got up and walked back out into the room. Everyone stared at me as I sat down on the couch and pulled my legs up to my chest.

I leaned on them and sat there almost in shock.

I don't know when I fell asleep but I woke up at 1pm the next day and Sam was shaking me awake, he booked everyone an early flight so we could get home.

Sam told me to stay at his house. 'There is no reason to put yourself through that' is all he kept saying.

Upon getting home it was 5 pm and we dropped our bags off before heading to the police station.

We arrived and the cops gave us the address to the morgue.

We drive the 10 min drive that felt like an eternity.

We pulled up and walked in.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Sam said. I shook my head no and followed the older woman to the back.

"Alright, now all you have to do is just let us know if you believe it's her. If not, tell us, then your free to go" she smiled sadly at me.

"Ok"
