Ours- Colby Brock

Chapter 19

19.

It's 8:32 pm.

I was trying to do my homework but after some time I got too mad at myself for not knowing anything and I quit.

Ugh, why does school have to be so hard?

I jumped on my bed and picked up my phone from my nightstand.

No battery. Great.

I got up and decided to go to the kitchen to eat something. I wasn't hungry...I was just bored.

I opened the fridge but then decided that I wanted ice cream so I opened the freezer and got myself a bucket of vanilla ice cream.

I don't care that it's winter.

No one was home for some reason...Strange.

My parents should be home...

I was quietly eating my ice cream when I remembered something.

I dropped everything, put my shoes and jacket on and ran through the door.

I didn't bring my phone but hell. Why do I need it?

Actually...I forgot something.

I went back in my house, walked up to my room and grabbed something important.

I walked out the door and started running...again.

I was running down the sidewalk. I'm pretty sure it was this one.

It was dark and there weren't many cars on the road.

If I'm not going to get answers I'm just going to figure out the answers myself...

Colby still doesn't want to tell me anything...

After the kiss we got really close.

Boyfriend and girlfriend? Not really...

I'm still not sure if I like him like that....

I guess I was thinking to hard that I tripped on nothing and fell.

''Ouch.''

I got up. Nothing hurt so I guess I'm fine.

After who knows how much time I got there...

The dark creepy and eerie neighborhood...

Why doesn't Colby want me to be here? Is it really that dangerous?

Is someone after me?

''HEY! I'M HERE! SYDNEY IS HERE! COME HERE IF YOU WANT ME!''

I shouted.

Curiosity was eating me alive..

I'm not scared. Why should I be? It's not like I could di-

Oh wait. Colby did say that I could..die

But...

So what if I die?! My life is shit...

Things have just gone worse and worse....There is no hope for me...

I do have Sam and Colby...But hell they think I'm a murderer..

They shouldn't think that...

I heard running but I didn't move.

I've accepted death...I am going to die one day so why shouldn't I speed up the process? I'll make the world a better place...

The running got closer.

I turned around and someone grabbed me and pushed me to the ground.

''WHO ARE YOU?''

I shouted and punched the person in the face..

''I wouldn't punch me if I were you...''

I looked up but the person had a mask..

We both turned our heads when we heard a car pull up next to us.

My heart stopped when I saw who was in the car.

''SYDNEY! GET AWAY FROM HIM!''

Colby shouted.

I kicked him and ran back.

Wait..

''Colby! How do you know that that person is a 'he'?''

I asked him.

His mouth opened but he didn't say anything.

''SYDNEY GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HIM!''

Sam shouted.

But I didn't...

I went up to the person and pulled his mask off.

''What the fuck!?''

Sam screamed.

It was Gage.

''I THOUGHT YOU WERE FUCKING DEAD!''

I shouted.

I turned to Colby but he wasn't surprised...or happy...he was..I don't know what he was.

''COLBY! IT'S YOUR BROTHER!''

Sam shouted.

Gage and Colby were still.

I was confused. Sam was too.

''Sydney...everyone has their dark secrets...Mine is that...I knew that Gage was still alive...''

Colby said.

I was in shock.

''WHAT?!''

Sam shouted.

''Then why the fuck is Gage after me?!''

I asked.

Gage started tearing up.

''I know that they are rumors...But Hailey meant so fucking much to me...She was my everything.....Sydney...Did you kill her?''

He asked.

I was quiet.

''You know this Sydney....WE WERE TOGETHER! FOR 2 YEARS DAMMIT! AND YOU HAVE SAID THAT SHE HAS KILLED HERSELF BECAUSE I BULLIED HER! YOU FUCKING LIAR!''

He shouted.

Sam and Colby had their mouths open.

I smiled.

''I know...I know Gage. But don't forget that she was everything to me too. I loved her...too much.''

I paused and whispered to myself.

''I guess we are telling each other our darkest secrets now..''

I turned to Sam.

''Remember how you told me that Colby didn't like hurting the ones he loves?''

I asked him.

Everyone was confused.

'Y-yeah..What does that have to do with anything?''

Sam asked.

I laughed quietly.

''It's funny to me...because I'm the exact opposite...''

I said.

''What..do you mean?''

Colby asked.

''I love hurting the ones I love.''
