Onward and Upward ||Colby Brock fanfic||

Chapter {24}

"Hey what's wrong!"

I woke up to see the blurry face of Colby grabbing and shaking my shoulders.

"Hey listen to me! Stay with me! Wake up!" He was screaming and shaking me.

"Im- awake." I said sitting up and grabbing his face.

"I'm fine." I whispered staring at the pitiful boy near tears.

"Well I've been trying to wake you for the longest time and your face was pale, and I panicked. You were screaming and crying while sleeping and I got scared." He said while exhaling a shaky breathe.

"Hey look I'm fine, I'm awake and all is well, you can stop crying now." I wiped the tears streaming in threads down is cheeks.

He smiled looking at me with the ocean in his eyes. So so blue. I just stared at him for the longest time. Deep deep blue. So blue.

His face leaned towards mine. I leaned my forward. I could feel his hot minty breath hit my nose like a hurricane.

"Kenzie please!" I heard a voice yell from the door. Me and Colby jumped and brushed our clothes off like nothing happened.

I looked where the voice was coming from leading to the face of my best friend.

"Nikki!" I ran and gave her a huge hug.

"Hey be careful!" She said laughing and hugging me back.

Huh? Careful? Why? Whatever.

"Listen I have a problem-"

"Oh hey Colby!" She said waving towards him.

He awkwardly waved back. My face glowed a bright read as Nicole dragged me by the ear to my room and shut the door.

She set her purse down and looked at me with a grim face.

"Why the long face?" I asked concerned now. She usually is never sad and is always a energetic bubbly person.

"Sit." She said sternly pointing to my bed.

In fear I sat and stared up at her as she dug around in her purse for something.

"You mean?" I said shocked at what she pulled out.

She nodded as tears welled up in her eyes. She was crying joyful tears.

I ran out of the room screaming in joy. It finally happened.

"What's all the excitement about?" Colby asked as I leaped onto the living couch next to him.

I ran back to my room grabbed the pregnancy test and ran back and showed him smiling eagerly.

"You mean?"

"You?!" He screamed asking if I was pregnant.

"No not me you idiot! Nicole! Nicole is going to have a baby! She's pregnant!" I said smiling so hard I thought my cheeks were gonna break off my face and shatter on the floor.

He jumped up and hugged me.

"Why are you hugging me I'm not the pregnant one!" I said laughing at his stupidity.

"Oh right." He said walking over and hugging Nicole.

"I decided to swing by your place and tell you on our way to Justin's parents house." She said giggling and walking out the door.

"Wow." I muttered sliding down the wall and putting my head down.

"What's wrong?" Colby asked concerned about my mood change all of a sudden.

"She doesn't know what she's getting herself into." I said letting out a huff.

"It's so hard. Someone's life will be in your hands and you just have to accept it." I said putting my head down.

"She's gonna need a lot of help."

"Well she does have Justin." He said shrugging it off.

"You think that dimwit with half a brain would know how to take care of a human being?" I said grudgingly. I finally decided to stop hiding my deep seeded hatred for that boy.

I gritted my teeth in anger. Justin. That stupid boy.

I remember what he told me when I first met him. The cruel words spit from his stupid mouth.

Nicole had just started dating him and from what I had heard he seemed to be sweet to her.

She wanted me to meet him so we were all at her place when she suddenly had to use the bathroom leaving me and Justin alone.

"Listen you just don't hurt her alright?" I said staring intently at him.

He just smirked. His face going almost from sweet to evil in 2.6 milli seconds.

"You know, you're just jealous because you're too big for someone to love." He said smirking and sneering.

I glared and left the house.

All of a sudden I was brought back from my flashback when I felt something soft cover my knuckles.

I was standing and about to punch Colby but his had stopped the blow. He wrapped his hand about mine.

"Stop." He said calmly.

"Did I say the story out loud?" I asked looking down. My face glowing a bright red beam again.

He nodded "All of it."

He pulled my had towards him and grabbed my waist snuggling me like a teddy bear.

For a moment I was flustered. What was he doing?

But I didn't ask and I just hugged him back resting my head on his chest closing my eyes.

"I know how it feels. It hurts. You've been hurt. I can tell. I've been hurt. But it's okay." He whispered soothingly stroking my hair and gripping me tighter.

I didn't even think it was possible for us to be closer but he pulled me even closer.

He smelled strongly of an amazing cologne. A comforting scent.

I could have stayed like that forever but he let go and looked at me.

"Thank you. I needed that." I said smiling.

"I'm going to hit the hay." He said going into his rom leaving me alone in the dimly lit hallway.

I was confused but didn't really want to question anything.

I smiled and went into my room shutting the door, sighing in content.

Is thee anyway to be any happier than this.

I fell asleep peacefully for the first time in that long and horrid week.

It was him who comforted me.

And it scared me how much he meant to me.
