Onward and Upward ||Colby Brock fanfic||

Chapter {12}

I was just sitting on my couch with Colby playing dumb games like 20 questions and things.

When I get a phone call. I suspected just to be Nicole calling to annoy the crap out of me and I wasn't really in the mood for that, but I answered anyway.

"Yellooooo." I answered in my usual way I would with Nicole.

"Kenzie..."

My eyes went wide and I could feel the blood drain from my face.

"Kenzie what's wrong?" Colby asked from beside me,

"I want you to come home and be my daughter again.." My dad spoke softly into the phone as if he spoke a bit louder I would break like a glossy China doll.

I couldn't speak or move I was so in shock that he called me.

I felt paralyzed in my place. My feet were planted to the ground like roots in the ground to trees.

"Kenzie who is it?" Colby was now standing up looking at me with a mix of confusion and concern.

It made my heart flutter how he was so concerned. I didn't have time to recognize the jungle of butterflies swirling in my stomach when my dad spoke into the phone again.

"Kenzie please..." He pleaded.

"D-dad." I spoke a bit emotionally about it.

I looked over at Colby who's eyes were wide and still looking at me.

"Please at least visit me." he spoke again a bit softer this time.

"Wh-what about Theresa?"

Theresa was the name of my evil step mother who kicked me out because I was "wasting her money"

"She-she left me." he spoke. I could tell he was disappointed, but I think we all saw this one coming.

"Dad I'm sorry."

I was getting too emotional.

My heart was pounding so hard I thought I could suffer cardiac arrest in a matter of moments.

My eyes welled with tears as I kept holding the phone against my ear.

"Will you at least come and visit me? Kendall misses you. A lot, Kenzie." He spoke again after a long silence. To be honest it wasn't one of those awkward silences. It was like a peaceful, thinking silence. The kind of silence you want to have after a long, hard day.

"Of course." I silently said hanging up not waiting for a goodbye from him or me.

Colby was still looking at me confused and worried. His blue eyes still wide with surprise as mine were.

"I'm going to see my dad again." I cried completely breaking down again. I ran up to Colby who was only a couple steps away. I hugged his waist tight, taking in his pine scent and warm, firm arms.

I'd never been one to show emotion to people. But at this point I didn't really care anymore. " Kenzie that's fantastic." He said into my hair still hugging me tightly.

I didn't really want to let go but I eventually reluctantly released his waist, feeling the warm air leave surrounding me with the coolness of the living room. I was a bit disappointed.

"I'm going to see my dad and little brother again." I whispered reassuring myself this wasn't just another one of my pleasant dreams.

A/N: Thought I might as well update a week early😊💙
