Life with TFIL

Bruises

I woke up the next morning and Colby wasn't beside me. After laying in bed for a bit I looked at the clock to see what time it was.  

10:24

Great. I still had time to go get breakfast. As I was getting up, I saw a note on the night stand.

"Went out with the guys for a bit. Didn't want to wake you."                                                                                   -Colby <3

I got up, put on a hoodie, and fixed my hair. I made sure I had one of the room key and went to get some breakfast. When I went down there, I saw Devyn at one of the tables on her phone.

"Hey!" I called.

"Oh hey Carly! They abandon you too?"

"Yep, I woke up with just a note," we laughed, "Anyways I'm going to go get some food be right back."

"Alright, I'll be here!"

"Okay."

I got up and went over to the buffet tables and was about to pick up a plate when I saw Brennen picking up some food. I stood there for a minute until he turned around and saw me.

"Carly!" he started. I didn't give him a chance.

I turned around and started to go back upstairs.

"Hey I'm just going to get some room service!" I called over to Devyn as I past her.

"Oh okay! I'll see you later?"

"Yea, sure."

I sped back up to my room and looked around for a room service menu. I got the menu from the dresser and called for room service.

After awhile, Devyn came up to my room and the two of us hung out for awhile.

"So what happened at breakfast?" Devyn asked me. 

"Oh uh, I saw Brennen and just freaked out."

"Huh. Oh by the way, who beat up Brennen?"

"What do you mean?"

"Oh well after you left he came over to me to ask if you were okay and his face was all bruised up and swollen."

"Jeez."

"Yea. I asked him about it but he said it was no big deal and left."

"Oh. Well I don't know exactly who did it but maybe there was a good reason?"

"What would be such a good reason the Brennen just didn't even care?"

"You mean Colby didn't tell anyone?"

"Tell anyone what? Did Colby beat up Brennen?"

"I don't know. I'll ask him when he gets back."

"Do you know why he would do that?"

"I'd rather not tell you, if that's okay?"

"Oh, sure whatever you want."

"Okay, thanks."

Just then, Devyn's phone went off and she looked to see who texted her.

"Who is it?" I asked her.

"It's Corey. He said that all the guys and him decided to cut the trip short so we are leaving tomorrow to go back home."

"Oh.."

As much as I wanted this vacation to blow off steam, I'm kind of glad I don't have to get awkward glances from Brennen anymore.

"Well that sucks," Devyn started, "I was so looking forward to some of the things we were going to do here."

"Did he say why?"

"He just said that all the guys figured it was best. What does that mean?"

I knew exactly what that meant. Colby was trying to look out for me. "I'm not sure..."

After about another hour or so, Colby and the rest of the guys came back from wherever they were and went back to their rooms.

"Hey!" Colby called as he walked in. "Did Devyn tell you about the trip?"

"You mean that we are leaving tomorrow?"

"Yea," he sighed.

"Why do we have to go already?"

"Because, I don't think I can be here with Brennen much longer without breaking his arms."

Colby wrapped his arms around me and jumped onto the bed, pulling us both down, laughing.

"I love you," Colby whispered.

"I love you too Mr. Brock," I said giggling.

He pulled me into a kiss and rolled over on top of me, deepening the kiss. He put his hands up my shirt. I broke away.

"Aw come on," He complained.

"Sorry, not now."

"Why nooot?"

"Well I was just going to say that I don't feel like it but everyone else's rooms are like right there and the walls are very thin so..."

"Alright, alright. I'm not going  to turn into 'that guy' so I wont force you."

"Good."

I rested my head on Colby's chest and he wrapped his arm around me. He grabbed my hand with his other arm and interlocked our fingers. I looked down at both of our hands, his were bruised.
