Across The Street // Colby Brock BOOK ONE

Chapter 15

Hayden

I woke up on the couch in the living room. I rubbed my eyes, trying to get my dry tears away. I might have cried myself to sleep last night. Its been a hell of a ride.

Never in a million years would I have thought my father would hit me, but he did. And because of that I couldn't take it anymore and had a panic attack. Everyone saw it, or at least they have probably heard about by now.

I rolled my eyes and sat up, feeling like shit. So I went to the bathroom to splash water on my face. When I looked in the mirror, my heart skipped a beat.

My hand ran across the bruise on my cheek, wincing a bit as I did so. The bruise looked horrible, in that moment I realised how hard he actually hit me.

Now I really gotta get my life together and move out of this place. First I have to get a job, a job that pays enough for a small apartment that looks somewhat nice. That going to be my task for the next few days, maybe the boys can help me.

I walked out of the bathroom and accidentally stumbled into someone, I looked up and there stood Colby with a grin. I still can't believe he kissed me in front of everyone.

His smile turned into a frown. Colby took his hand and slowly stroking my cheek. I was watching him the whole time, not wanting to move away.

"Oh, I'm so sorry this happened." He said and pulled me in for a hug. I was about to say something when he kissed my head, after that I just stood there, enjoying the embrace.

I'm trying to deny it, but I don't think I'm going to be able to do that much longer. I like him, and I'm not sure, but I think he likes me. At least there gotta be something.

Colby was the one who told me that he likes to spend time with me, he helped me out of my panic attack and now this? It might be just friendly gestures, but for me, it's something else.

I guess you could say I'm falling for him, and I have to find out if he is too, otherwise I have to get rid of these feelings before it's too late.

"Hayden?" Someone asked while snapping their fingers in front of my face, I turned back to reality and saw Sam trying to contact me.

We were in the living room, Colby had gone somewhere, so it was just me and Sam apparently. "What?" I asked and chuckled at myself, so much for paying attention.

"I asked you if you wanted to go somewhere and eat." Sam grinned at me, I nodded and stood up.

"Where do you want to eat?" I asked him as we put on our shoes, he just shrugged and walked out with his car keys. I rolled my eyes, well I guess I just have see where we end up.

A comfortable silence filled the car while we drove on our mission to get food. It's nice when you don't need to talk all the time, it really shows you who you are comfortable with and not.

We drove to the Mc'Donalds drive through to order, we both were too lazy and decided to eat in the car. We got our food and found a parking spot.

I was just enjoying my food when Sam decided to speak up. "How long are you staying with us?" He asked and took another bite of his burger.

"A few days, I'm looking for jobs right now, so I can finally move out." I told Sam. I took a sip of my soda and just stared down at my food, suddenly I didn't feel hungry anymore.

"Why don't you move in with us?" Sam asked, I almost choked on my drink as he said so, making him laugh.

"That would be fun, but I think I want to live alone. It's my first time moving out and I kinda need the peace after living with that family." I told him honest, Sam looked over at me and nodded. He understood what I meant.

"At least don't move far away, it's nice to be able to hang out all the time with you." Sam said and I just nodded, I don't want to move far away from them, they're like my only friends here. That sounds so sad.

We threw away all of the thrash and drove back to the house, we talked a bit on the way home about random stuff, like what he should do for his next video and stuff.

When we got there, both of us got out of the car and walked inside, there stood an angry Colby. My eyes widened and Sam scratched the back of his neck.

"Where have you been? I was so worried when neither of you two answered your phones!" He yelled at us, I was a bit shocked and taken aback by his sudden outburst.

"We were just eating, chill." Sam said and walked away, not caring about it. After yesterday, he probably knew Colby was more worried about me than him.

"Colby, relax." I said and put my hand on his bicep. He looked down at where I was holding him and then back at me.

"You can just do that, when someone calls or text, you should answer. Do you have any idea how worried I was?!" He yelled again and looked down at me with a expression I couldn't read.

I shook my head and stared down at my feet, slightly embarrassed and confused. Why did he get so acted up about this, we were just eating.

"Look, I'm sorry about yelling, but next time could you at least tell me first?" He asked and put his fingers under my chin, making me look up at him.

"I don't understand why, I don't need to tell you where I am all the time?" I said a hint of anger in my voice, now I was getting a bit mad. Who do he think he is? Telling me what to do or not, I'm not up for that shit.

"It's... I - I just don't like it when you go off without telling me, I worry about you and if something happens I can't help you, if I don't know where you are." Colby said as he looked me in the eyes.

I didn't know what to say, so I did the only think I could think of. I put my arms around his neck and put my lips on his. When I pulled away, he was just staring at me. Making me scared, what if I did something wrong?

"You're fucking amazing." He said and slammed his lips on mine again.
