model [Cole x KJ] [Jarchie] [boyxboy]

ch. 17

When I woke up, I was alone. The apartment had a melancholy feeling to it, the air stale and dry, the room empty. My eyes drifted to the window, where the wind blew through the small crack and made the curtains wave hello. I rolled over to look at Cole's side of the bed, his pillow the same as it was last left- untouched.

Why did I expect so much?

I stood up, cold floor stinging my feet as I quickly walked to the bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror. My hair was a mess and there were large bags under my eyes that had formed. I don't know why I only came to realize this, but orange hair was definitely not my fucking colour.

I took my toothbrush and brushed my teeth, combed my hair and put on deodorant. Walking out of the bathroom now I had decided I was going to stay in today, calling in 'sick' to the studio.
Ice cream was my breakfast meal, along with Lucky Charms cereal and some toast a few minutes after. I flipped through channels as my fingers grazed slightly over the remote, reminding myself of all the movie nights I had here with Cole.

There was a knock on the door, sighing I yelled "come in."

"Hi KJ, we have some information regarding your stalker."

"I'd rather not be bothered with things like this right now, Officer."

"KJ we think we have the man." The officer said, hands on her hips now. I looked up with wide eyes, quickly scurrying to change and go with the cops.

I walked down into the lobby with them, paparazzi everywhere.

"KJ KJ is it true Cole and Lili are dating?"

"KJ is it true Lili and Cole are in fact hooking up?"

"KJ is it true Cole stole Lili from you?"

The questions were ridiculous.
I got into the limo with my security and the cops, driving towards the station. My mind was numb, I had no thoughts to think as we sped off in the direction of the person who was constantly harassing my life was being held. Well, possibly.

"So uh what exactly are we going for? I don't know what they look like so I can't identify them."

"We just want to go over the evidence and show proof we think it's her."

"Her?"

"Yes." The officer said, rolling her eyes. I had a hunch it was a girl, but why would a girl hate me and Cole so much?

We arrived at the station, as I walked out I put my hands into my pockets in search of my phone, which I had of course forgotten at home. I shook my head and continued on inside.

The place was big, big security everywhere as we checked into the place.

"Right this way KJ, oh and should we notify Cole about this as well?"

"No." I replied quickly. I wasn't in the mood to discuss things with him at the moment.

I was led into a big room that was separated into two, a person on the other side of the glass as they seemed to look up and furrow their brows.

"This is Melody, she's the alleged stalker. Melody would you like to say something to the man you've been harassing?" The officer said, allowing me to sit at a chair positioned in front of the glass separating us.

"KJ, your acting sucks ass. Oh and, you should probably take a selfie with me. You know, for your boyfriend Cole. He can suck you off to it later." The girl said, a psychotic smile spread across her face.

"You seem harmless." I said softly, eyeing the girl as she watched me with curious eyes.

"And you look better asleep. Shoulda knocked you out when I had the chance. Or maybe when I win in court, I can expose you and your gay ass." She bellowed.

"Okay." I said, not bothering to add fuel to the fire. What was the point in arguing with her? All she was going to do was feed off of my pain, and I was already hurting enough.

Her grin widened at the loss of my words. She looked as if she had stayed awake five nights waiting if this moment- craving it even.

"KJ we alerted Cole and he's going to be arriving at the station in half an hour during his lunch break." The officer told me.

"I'm going home. I can deal with this tomorrow. Thank you." I replied, motioning that I wanted to leave to my security.

"Oh and, I don't know what satisfaction you get from this, but that's really fucking depressing that hurting two gay men makes your day better." I said to Melody, as I turned and left, a small wave of relief washing over me on the ride home.

In the apartment it was still quiet. I walked into the bedroom, getting under the covers and turning on the TV. I allowed cartoons to play as I scrolled through my phone, a text from Cole pinging on my phone.

cole💞: KJ i'm so so so fucking sorry

cole💞: i swear to god it was never meant to happen like this, lili put herself on me and i wasn't allowed to back off

cole💞: i hope you're home and we can talk about this

I stared at my phone in disbelief. Did I really trust this? Cole has been so distant lately nothing even feels right.
I just want things to be normal again, for Cole to be home and in my arms, but at the same time I didn't want him to come home.

Another sleepless night.
