Home Soon (Sequel to What It Seems)

Chapter 9

I had been so confused lately. That talk with Kenzie is what did it. I really didn't know if I could ever open myself up like that, feel that way again. I was more afraid then anything. With Colson or anyone else. I couldn't bring myself to actually talk to or see him lately. Slim and Kenzie had been doing all the dropping off and picking up lately. I could tell he was getting annoyed with how I was acting. I saw him at the store one day and practically had a heart attack. I couldn't even talk. I don't know what was getting into me lately, and everyone else was worrying that I'd go back to my old ways.I constantly had to assure them I knew how to handle myself and that I'd be okay. I honestly felt bad for purposely ignoring him. 

Today was Kenzie's baby shower. I was getting ready while the twins, who were already ready, napped. I knew it was possible for all the boys to be there, for Kenzie. They could care less that it's a baby shower, they enjoy being there for her. Dub warned me that Colson might take Cierra and it really pissed me off more than anything. She had no right being at that baby shower. Kenzie made it clear that she didn't like her when it was brought up. I got the twins up and left for the baby shower. 

When I got there I saw the boys car, and groaned because I was hoping to get here before them in case he did have Cierra with him. They ran in and found some kids to play with. I walked in and saw Colson, avoiding any eye contact with him. I went over to where my parents were and sat down, putting my head down.

"What's wrong?" my dad asked.

"I think I know. Is it Colson and that girl?" my head shot up.

"Wait, he actually brought her?!" they nodded with annoyed looks on their faces.

"I know. I mean, it wasn't right if he knew what Kenzie said about it." my mom said and I nodded in agreement.

"Where's Josh?"

"He got assigned to keep an eye on the kids." I laughed, he was still like a little kid himself. I knew he would get my mind off of Colson though. I walked over to see the kids attacking him. It took him a good 5 minutes to notice I was there.

"Oh, hey sis."

"Hey, having fun?"

"Sure am. Why do you look so annoyed?" I pointed over in Colson's direction. He sighed and we went to sit down at a table.

"I don't know why it bothers me so much. We're not even together and we haven't been in a really long time."

"Maybe because you were so used to that being you." here comes another talk. Him and Kenzie were experts on giving these talks to anyone, but mostly me. Even though the boys got one here and there. "You think you might be jealous?"

"What reason would I have to be jealous?" he smirked and just shook his head.

"I have to go help Slim, be nice."

"Oh, I'll try. No promises though!" I yelled as he walked away. I was watching them set something up, but they weren't doing such a great job. As I was sitting there laughing, I felt two hands squeeze my sides. I turned around and saw T. Mills.

"Travis! Don't scare me like that!" he laughed as I smacked him.

"Sorry. Now where's my hug?" I laughed as I stood up to give him a hug. I saw Kenzie over his shoulder, and she raised her eyebrows at me. I rolled my eyes as I pulled away from the hug. 

"That Kells new girl?" he pointed to Cierra. I turned around and saw Colson watching me closely.

"Oh, uh I think so. Haven't really asked him about it." he nodded and we sat down. My phone went off in my pocket and I checked to see who it was. 1 New Message: Colson

Colson: Uh, what the hell?

Me: what? he's a friend. didn't know I couldn't have friends. looks like you have one anyways.

Colson: Cierra? really? I'm not getting into this.

I just put my phone away and hung out with Kenzie and Travis the rest of the day. We left after the presents were loaded in Kenzies car. Travis gave me his number and told me to text him sometime. I honestly didn't see myself texting him anytime soon. My mind was anywhere else but there right now. I went home and put the twins to bed. I laid down in bed and went on Twitter. I saw some tweets from Colson.

Guess those words didn't mean shit to you. That tweet pissed me off more than anything. I don't even think of Travis as anything more than a friend. I don't want any relationship right now anyways. 

The one day I woke up in a bitchy mood, I'm supposed to take the twins to Colson's. I walked in, just to let him know that they were here and up in their rooms. I walked in the living room to see him in there with Cierra sitting in his lap. Not being what I wanted to see, I just left. I didn't say anything to him or her. I rushed out of the house and tripped a couple of times since it was dark. I felt like I was being followed as I walked to the street, so I turned around, but saw nothing. I turned back around and felt my knees start to give out. Seeing him made me more afraid than anything, since our last encounter with each other. I tried running but I was wearing my wedge heels so he caught up in no time. He covered my mouth before I could scream. He knew me too well. I tried to fight him but he was too strong for me. He carried me to his car and I felt my head hit the door frame as I was put in, so I passed out before we got to where we were going. 

*UNKNOWN POV*

"So the plan worked?"

"Of course, our plans always work girl." I laughed as  I fixed my hair in the bathroom mirror. "The bitch passed out though. I accidently hit her head."

"You dumbass! Just get her to the house, and don't let her get away."

"Didn't plan on it."

"Now, if you don't mind, I have to go. Before he starts to wonder where I am."

"Why do you even bother with him?"

"That bitch gave him up, so he's all mine now. And I'm gonna keep it that way." she hung up and I continued to drive to the house. If I couldn't have her, he wasn't going to and she felt the same way about her guy. I just didn't know what we'd do about those kids.
