Bad boy

Chapter 29

Sams POV

I had kicked the gun out of Emma's hand but I was too late, she had shot Colby. I was calling out to him but I don't think he could hear me which scared me. Elton tossed me cuffs and I quickly cuffed Emma before I ran to Colby as he passed out. I could hear the sirens outside in the distance and I pulled Colby into my arms covering both his shoulder and side wound as tears streamed down my face.

"No, I'm not gonna lose you, not to a stupid bitch like her. I'm never gonna let you go Colby" I mumbled having flash backs to high school, Colby holding onto my wrist, saving my life, changing me and making me better. I couldn't lose him like this, not because of the same girl that tried to make me jump. I was crying hard and I rested my forehead against his, my mind slipping to that day. I wasn't holding Colby in my arms, instead I was in his arms and he was holding me while I cried.

"Hey Sammy I'm gonna be okay and so are you I promise. I'm here and I'm never letting you go, everything will be okay" he whispered to me softly as his fingers ran through my hair. I was shaking and holding him tight and I could hear the sirens and I was able to relax a little. I looked at him and I almost screamed. His side and shoulder were suddenly bleeding and I watched him.

"W-what?"

"Sam hey look at me, sam....sam!" I snapped out of my trance and looked back at Colby who was awake now. He looked at me with soft, pained eyes as his hand rested on my cheek.

"I won't be able....to stay awake for....long. But I want you to know I'll be okay....I wont leave you I promise." He was clearly in pain and I heard the door being kicked open, which made me relax. I kissed him softly as his eyes started to close again, but he quickly opened them and reached up with his good arm, tangling his fingers in my hair. I smiled and just barely pulled away.

"Help is here, you'll be fine I promise." I whispered softly as he nodded and slowly passed out again. Police rushed in and once the took the two girls outside, the medics came in with a stretcher and quickly rushed him out. Corey and Elton ran to me and held me close to them in a hug as I broke down and sobbed.

"This is my fault. Dean should have tried to talk her out of it not charge at her like that" Corey shook his head and held me closer as he mumbled soft nothingness to me and telling  that t wasn't my fault and that Colby would have done the same. I didn't really believe that but I was too upset to argue at this point. He was hurt and it was my fault, I was supposed to protect him and I failed miserably.

"We should go, we need to make sure Colby's okay." Elton said softly and I barely nodded as he helped me to my feet.

When we got to the hospital, Corey and I sat in chairs in the waiting room while Elton went to talk to the lady at the desk. He soon walked back over to us and knelt in front of me.

"She told me Colby's still in surgery since they had to remove the two bullets, but the doctors think he'll be fine." I nodded but I was still upset and I also felt kind of off, but I couldn't find out what it was. I just shook it off for now, figuring it couldn't have been anything hung serious. I sat there while Elton just held me in his lap as I played with my hands, resting my head against his chest. After a few minutes I felt Elton run his hand along my back as he whispered to my softly.

"Can I talk to you for a second? Alone?" I looked at him and nodded before I was about to climb off of his lap, but instead he picked me up and carried me outside to the parking lot. He then set me down on the side walk and looked at me with soft eyes. I looked at him curiously and he reached to my face and pulled something away. Then I realized he pulled my thumb out of my mouth, and I don't remember ever putting my thumb in my mouth to begin with.

"Sam...." Elton started. I looked at him confused and worried. He knelt in front of me and looked at me with soft eyes. "Sam are you a little?"

"A what?" I asked confused. Elton sighed and shook his head softly.

"You don't even know.....maybe it just happened. After what happened to Colby that would make sense"

"Can you please tell me what the hell you are talking about" he pulled out his phone and typed something on his phone before handing it to me. I looked at the definition he had pulled up.

'Little space (age regression)
Someone who goes into a mind space of an age younger than them to escape a drastic or traumatic experience. They usually act like young children sometimes using pacis, sippy cups or bottles, blankiea and diapers and cribs on occasion.'

"This is what you think I am?" I asked softly and confused.

"Well you've been acting like it since Colby got hurt. Did you feel different when they took Colby away from you?" I nodded slowly and I started to have that same feeling again. I felt needy and upset and when I looked up at Elton his face instantly softened so I had a feeling that my eyes had to be huge by now. I whined slightly and could feel tears quickly coming to my eyes as I looked at the ground as the thought of Colby being taken away from me forever crept into my mind.

"I-I want Colby." I whimpered softly and Elton instantly pulled my close to him as I buried my face in his chest.

"I know Sammy I know. He's gonna be fine I promise. The doctors are gonna keep him safe okay?" I nodded and looked up at him with tears sliding down my face. He reached out and gently brushed the tears away and I made small grabby hands. He smiled and picked me up and I instantly stuck my thumb in my mouth. Okay so maybe I was a little, but clearly
Elton didn't seem to care which was a good sign....I hoped. As he carried me inside he gently whispered to me.

"Corey used to care of a little too so he'll be able to you as well" I smiled softly and nodded as I closed my eyes. God things were gonna change. A lot.
