Lost ❥ Colby Brock ✔

Chapter Four

    Grace's POV
    *Skip to Monday*
    I haven't talked or seen Colby since Saturday and I wasn't thrilled to have to see him in class today. I walked into the classroom and took my seat next to Colby. As the teacher talked he never looked away from the board or the teacher.
    "All right class please take out your pencils and a piece of paper.
    "Fuck,"I heard Colby say under his breath. I looked at him for a couple of seconds and saw him searching for a pencil. I rolled my eyes and started to write what on on the board.
    "H- hey Grace can I borrow a pencil?"Colby asks.
    "No,"I say not taking my eyes off of the teacher.
    "Whatever bitch,"he whispers. Why is he swearing so much today like seriously what's his deal?
    ***
The class was going by slowly. We haven't learned anything interesting at all and I felt like I was going to fall asleep. The teacher has been calling on students to answer questions about some things I couldn't care less to know. After asking almost every student a question he calls on Colby. Everyone was staring at him and some people were laughing. Colby say there frozen moving his mouth but no words were coming out.
"Mr.Brock I would like the answer now please," the teacher says sternly.
"I-I don't know,"Colby whispers.
"What?"the teacher asks.
"I don't know!"Colby shouts slamming his hands against the desk. Everyone starts laughing.
"Woah man I think we should be afraid of him,"one guys says sarcastically.
"Wow he's even more of a freak then before,"I hear a guy laugh. People kept going back and fourth with rude insults. Even the teacher! I say there saying nothing. I looked over at Colby who has tears forming in his eyes. I felt bad and wanted to help but he'll probably just push me away like he normally does. I stands up and walks out of the class room. The whole class was still laughing. I wanted to follow him but I staying in my seat for the rest of the class.

    As I was walking out of the school I noticed Colby sitting alone on the bench in front of the school. His hands were covering his face and he's shaking a little. I think he might be crying. I wanted to go over there and talk to him but since he hates me so much I decide to leave him alone.
    I walk into my house and go straight upstairs into my room. I glance out of my window and notice Colby on his bed hiding his face like he was at the school. I fight the urge to look out of the window again. So I walk over to the window and close my curtains. I lay on my bed and start listening to music.
Colby's POV
    This has been the worst few days of my life! First, I had to tell me brother about my depression. Then, I spend most of my Sunday hating myself for being alive and thought about all of the mean things everyone has ever said to me. But, luckily I didn't cut. Then,today the whole class turns against me. Even the people that didn't know I have depression (which wasn't very many. Maybe like 6). Thinking about all of this made me want to cut but I stayed strong and didn't. I really want to stop all of this....like soon. I made a list of things to help with my depression.
•Stop cutting
•Take the pills more than once a month (preferably everyday)
•Stop thinking negatively all the time
The last one is going to be hard:
•Become friends with Grace
Grace's POV
    As I'm listening to music my mom walks in.
    "Oh hey mom," I say talking out my earbuds.
    "Hi how was school today?"she asks sitting at the end of my bed.
    "Boring as usual,"I say.
    "I'm sorry to hear that. So I'm guessing you haven't made any friends?" she asks.
    "No mom I haven't,"I sass.
    "Ok ok well dinner's almost ready,"she says standing up and walking out of the room.
    "Oh and the neighbors are coming over too,"she says.
    "Wait what ones?"I ask jolting up.
    "The Brocks,"she says.
    "Ugh no"I groan falling back.
    "Why not?"
    "No reason."
    "Okay well come down in five minutes."
    "Ok."
    Ugh I can't believe this. Why couldn't she invite them over before Colby and I started hating each other. This is going to be a long night.
    After five minutes I walk down into the dining room. Colby, his mom, and someone I didn't recognize were already sitting down. The only seats were next to Colby's mom and Colby. I make my way to sit next to Mrs.Brock but my mom sits down next to her before me. I mentally swear at her. I sit down next to Colby who is in his normal hoodie with his hood up.
    "So how has school been for you Colby?"my mom asks.
    "Ok I guess,"he mumbles he says playing with his food.
    "Oh umm... that's good. Do you and Grace have any classes together?"my mom asks taking a bite of her food.
    "Yeah, one,"he says.
    "Oh so do you two hang out at school at lot?"my mom asks. I look at Colby wanting to hear his answer nice and clear.
    "Not really we don't have time to,"he explains.
    "Oh well at least you live close so then you can see each other after school,"my mom says while smiling.
    "Mhm,"Colby and I both hum in sync.
    After a long dinner they finally leave. I walk upstairs into my room and get ready for bed. As soon as I'm ready I get into bed and instantly fall asleep.
Colby's POV
Ugh I don't think I acted very friendly towards Grace. I mean I didn't even really talk to her. Maybe I just shouldn't try. What if she's like everyone else? No I can do this. I think I'm going to try to go to her house and hang out for a little bit. Then once we become friends I'll tell her about my depression.
