Stay

74

It's been another full 24 hours without word from Colby. I fell asleep last night on the window seat then I sat there all day today. It was starting to get dark. Everyone kept trying to get me to leave this room but I refused.

Sam, Kat and Colby's parents walked in and sat down. "We think it's time to file a missing person's report." Sam said. I just stared not knowing what to say. "Are you ok." Sam asked I nodded but burst into tears.

Kat came and sat by me pulling me into her. I sobbed into her shoulder. Layne and Lesa went to the other room to call the police. Kat held me as I sobbed and Sam sat in front of us. We sat that way for a half hour before the police showed up.

Layne let them in and brought the 2 officers over to us. Sam, Lesa, and Layne explained what was going on to the police. "And this is." one of the female officer said. "His girlfriend." Sam said. SHe pulled up a chair Infront of Kat and I.

I sat up and tried to compose myself "Hi sweetie I'm officer Hartwell can you tell me a bit about your boyfriend places he might be what he looks like." She said. I took a deep breath. "He has brown hair light blue eyes he is 5ft 11 He has a heart shaped lock tattoo on the right side of his chest a X tattoo on his back a rose on his right side a sunflower on his left bicep a crown on his left wrist a raven on his left hand a wolf on the back of his right arm and a moon on the back of his left one and his right forearm is a sleeve of them." I said

"He left the other night because my abusive father who had been in jail for torturing me in November got out and texted me that he was gonna hurt me and my friends and unborn son. Colby.." I said getting choked up again.

"It okay sweetie take a second." Officer Hartwell said. I took a few deep breaths before continuing. "Colby read the message when I was in the bathroom sick. As for places he might be I have no idea he he should be here." I cried. Kat held me again. "Thank you sweetheart." Officer Hart well said as she stood up.

Colby's parents walked them out. I grabbed my phone and called Colby no answer. I called again no answer. I did this 5 times. "M." Sam said as it went to voicemail for the 6 time. I screamed and stood up throwing my phone. It hit the wall and then the floor.

I went to my Colby and I's bedroom ignoring Sam and Kat. I shut the door and locked it behind me. I went and took a shower and cried. I got out of the shower and put on Colby's gray sweatpants and the sweatshirt he wore before he left.

I pulled it over my head and bunched the sleeves in my hands. It smelled like him giving me a little comfort. I crawled into Colby's side of the bed and pulled the covers up tightly over my shoulders. I smelled his sweatshirt again and started to quietly cry again.

I was still crying 3 hours later when the lock on the bedroom door unlocked and Sam and Kat walked in. They walked over and Kat crawled into the bed behind me and wrapped her arm around me . Sam squatted next to the bed and looked at me. "Hey." he said gently.

"The police sent out the info to the surrounding cities police departments and will call later to tell us if anyone know's anything." He said. I nodded and sniffled. "What time is it." I asked. "8 o-clock." Sam said

I turned the tv on and Sam laid on the foot of the bed. I was flipping through the channel's when I saw a picture of Colby on the TV. "What the fuck!" I said. turning the tv up on the news. "Social Media star Colby Brock went missing Wednesday night after he left his home around 7 pm." The female news anchor said.

"Sam how the fuck did they get this information." I said. He shrugged already calling someone and left the room. "This isn't good." Kat said. I nodded and shut the tv off I couldn't listen to the reporters act sad when they have no Idea who Colby is. Sam walked back in 10 minutes later. "Someone who was at the police station overheard the officers going over the report and sold the info to the news. They are taking care of it" He said. I nodded.
