The Orchid (Colby Brock)

Tagged (Chapter 46.)

 I woke up to my phone vibrating like crazy, to the point I thought someone was calling me. Sometimes I forget that I am Colby Brock's girlfriend and that my Instagram is always notifying me. There must be some way to turn Instagram notifications off. 

I reached for my phone in the darkness, tapping my night stand until I felt the cool metal. I picked it up and pressed the home button, it automatically unlocked with touch id so I didn't get the chance to see what crazy Colby fan had been commenting on my pictures. When I opened the Instagram app, I was unpleasantly surprised. I had been tagged at least 200 times in the same video, based on the thumbnail it looked like a boy and a girl in a pink bikini. 

I gulped praying it wasn't Colby and slowly I pressed the video with my thumb. I watched the blurry footage of a boy and girl by the pool grinded with each other, at this point my heart was pounding against my rib cage. Finally the two people kissed the cameraman running up to get a close up. It was definitely Colby, and Jessie. I could feel the tears welling up inside of me. I watched as Jake ripped Colby by the sleeve of his arm and yell at him in the distance. I was positive Colby was drunk. But it still wasn't an excuse. 

I cried myself back to sleep, trying to forget him and the drama he has caused me. I wasn't going to talk to him I was just going to cut him off, it shouldn't be too hard.

I woke to the sound of my phone ringing, I answered it not even checking who it was. 

'Hello?' I said, squinting as the bright light spilled through the blinds and into my pale room. 

'Brie! I've been trying to get hold of you!' Colby exclaimed, 'Look that video isn't how it loo-' 

I hung up.  I wasn't going to deal with him today, I needed some time on my own.  Within seconds my phone rang again and I pushed the red button. I placed my phone on my bed and lightly jogged down the wooden steps to the kitchen and living room area.  

I stepped once again into my favourite room of my whole apartment, the painting room. I slowly, shakily buttoned up my paint shirt and pinned my hair back. I breathed in a shaky breath and held back tears, I began looking and mixing different paints and painting my heart out onto the painting. 

Colby's POV-

I held the phone to my ear once again it ringing out. I dropped it on the kitchen island. 

'It's no use!' I yelled dragging my hand down my face. I'd been battling a hangover since 6 'o' clock this morning. Jake was leaning against the kitchen island opposite me tapping his nails against the counter. 

'Okay, no offence dude. But you fucked up, even before you went and kissed a girl that bullied your girlfriend in high school.' He said it as if I didn't already know that. 

'Yeah I fucking know Jake! I don't know what to do!' I said just wanting to be buried alive. 

'You have to make it up to her!' He yelled back trying to knock some sense into me. 

'I didn't know someone was filming and I didn't realise how many drinks I'd had until it was too late.' I groaned, 'And how am I suppose to make it up to her?' 

'I don't know! Buy her flowers or something sappy like the movies.' He said shrugging. I rolled my eyes. 

'Like the movies.' 

----------------

I walked down the streets of Hollywood looking in shop windows to decide what to get Brie. Jake next to me helping me out. 

'Jake what do I get her?'  I said throwing my head back on the edge of giving up. Jake stopped in his tracks causing me to stop too. 

'Okay, Colby. If you truly love this girl, you won't give up and you won't complain you're on a fucking mission.' He looked at me with a frown. He was right I did truly love this girl but I definitely wasn't showing it. Not at all. I needed to snap out of it. Just behind Jake I could see a small shop in the distance my eyes lit up when I realised what shop it was. 

'Jake I've got it.' I said beaming.
