Across The Street // Colby Brock BOOK ONE

Chapter 21

Hayden

"You're what?" Colby asked in a slightly aggressive tone, he looked at me with a disapproving look. With a frown I walked over to him.

"What's the big deal? It's just a party." I told him and put my hand on his bicep. He seemed tense as I touched him.

"You're going to a party with Caleb, how could that not be a big deal?!" He shouted and turned away from me, and walked over to my bed. I rolled my eyes as he sat down.

"Caleb and Nancy, didn't you hear that part or?" I asked with a sarcastic smile, getting annoyed by his behavior.

I don't understand why it's so difficult for him to understand that it isn't a big deal, they are my friends. And if he don't trust me, why are we even dating?

It really annoys me when he gets like this, Caleb is my friend and it's time for him to understand that, and stop being a dick about it. It's frustrating to have the same fight over and over.

"I don't like you going with him and I don't like him. Nancy I have no problem with." Colby said and crossed his arms, looking at me like I did something wrong.

"You never met him, and stop acting like a baby!" I yelled at him, not caring if my parents or Taylor heard me. This whole jealousy thing is getting old.

"I'm not acting like a baby! I just don't understand why you need to go with him!" Colby was now yelling back, his voice seemed to get more and more angry by the second. Here we go again.

"Because he is my FRIEND! Do you want me to spell it out for you?" I asked in the most bitchy tone I've ever heard myself use, it almost made me cringe.

I walked over to my closet and started browsing through my clothes, trying to find something to wear. Even though that would just annoy him even more, but at this moment I didn't care.

"Yeah and what if he tries something, what are you going to do then?" Colby asked, he stood up and walked over to me. I felt his warm breath on the back of my neck.

I turned quickly around to face Colby again. "Then come with me." I stated. He took a few moments before answering, but did so when I rolled my eyes at him.

"Alright, maybe I will."

Sam dropped us of at house the party was held, there were people everywhere. It reminded me of the party at the trap house, which made me chuckle to myself.

We walked inside, and as soon as Caleb came into view, Colby took my hand. Way to prove a point dude, great. I thought to myself, but kept smiling.

Caleb walked up to us with a big smile. "There you are!" He said and hugged me, Colby was still holding my hand so the hug was awkward. "And this must be Colby." He said and looked over at Colby who was studying him.

"Nice to meet you." Colby said, I laughed at that because I knew he didn't mean it.

"You too dude, Hayden told us much about you. It's annoying sometimes, but I can handle it." Caleb said with a laugh, Colby just smirked and looked down at me. I just gave him the don't mention it look.

We decided to get ourselves a drink, everyone seemed pretty much wasted already. I would've come over earlier, but Colby was being a bitch about it, so that didn't happen.

The people around us was weird, nice and told too much information, guess that's what happens when you're not drunk, you realize how much crap people tell you. But I had some great conversations and I made some new friends.

At some point I lost Colby, but I didn't really worry about it. One of his friends was there and they went to do a round of beer pong somewhere.

"You know, I'm working tomorrow and I'm drunk." Nancy said as she collapsed on the couch beside me, I laughed and shook my head.

"It's Sunday tomorrow, you're not working." I told her, alcohol really makes your brain crumble. Nancy looked up at me with excitement.

"I'm so stupid." She laughed and I agreed with her in a jokingly way. "On the bright side, we can do shots!" She yelled and dragged me up from the couch, apparently this is not going to be the slight buzzed night I had planned.

When we got to the kitchen she pulled up 6 shot glasses and poured vodka in all of them, she gave 3 of them to me and the race began.

The competition was; whoever finished all the shots first won. The price was to be more drunk.

"Hell yeah!" I yelled as I finished first, Nancy was done a few seconds after me. She pouted, but quickly shook it off.

The rest of the night was blurry, more alcohol was consumed and all I knew was that I was going to have the worst hangover in the morning.

I didn't see Colby until it was time to leave, but I was too drunk to even care. I just had fun with my friends and that's was all that mattered at that time.
