The Scherer Sister (Colby Brock) *On Hold*

Part 7

Maddies Pov

I wake up and feel someone's arms around me, I look up to see Colby playing with my hair and all the memories of last night come flooding back. "Good morning girlfriend" "Good morning boyfriend" we talked for a awhile until I got up and went to my room and put some clothes on. I got back into his room and he pulled me down onto him. "We have to get up Colbs, we can't just lay in bed all day" "yes we can and we will" I started laughing until we hear the door, we didn't want anyone to know about us yet but I guess that's not going to happen.

The door opens and all I see is a very confused Corey, oh no this isn't going to be good. "What the hell?! IS THIS A JOKE!?" "Cor-" I was cut of by him dragging Colby out of bed onto the floor and standing on top of him "Corey stop please! Get off of him" I pushed Corey off of Colby but that just made things worse, he looked at me and stood up, he started walking towards me. I got scared as all I could think about was how our dad use to do that. He would walk towards me with those hate filled eyes with intent to hurt. I backed up to the wall and Corey stood infront of me "ARE YOU AND HIM DATING" "C-Corey plea-" "ARE YOU AND HIM DATING!" "Yes" was all I could say, I was paralyzed, to scared to move. He turned to Colby " I HAD 1 RULE, 1 RULE! AND YOU COULDNT EVEN FOLLOW IT!!" I was confused, did Corey have rules for me being here? I was snapped back to reality when he started to come towards me again "AND YOU! YOU JUST COULDNT KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF HIM COULD YOU!! YOU JUST HAD TO DATE HIM DIDNT YOU, YOU LITTLE SLUT!" As soon as he said that I left, I couldn't be in this house anymore. As I was walking down the stairs he kept saying all the things dad would tell me so I didn't know why it hurt so much coming from him. As I had my hand on the door knob he said "Yeah! Run away like the little coward you are!" That's when I snapped, I had endured things that Corey couldn't even imagine ranging from rape to starvation. But the next thing I said I would regret for my whole life " I WISHED I NEVER MOVED HERE AND THAT DAD KILLED ME WHEN HE HAD THE CHANCE!" And with that I left.

I ran until my legs wouldn't allow me to go any further. I was at a pond that was surrounded by trees, I went up to one and sat under it with my back resting on the tree. That's when I lost it, I started crying for the first time in years and I couldn't stop. All the tears that I was holding in let lose, so I just sat there and cried.

Colby's Pov

As soon as Maddie ran out the door I went up to Corey and punched him in the face. I grabbed the collar of his shirt and brought him up to my face and yelled "WHAT THE BRO! WHATS WRONG WITH YOU!!" "I-I-I dont know" " WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DONT KNOW, YOU JUST CALLED YOUR SISTER A SLUT BECAUSE YOU FOUND OUT WE WERE DATING!" "I know bro! I don't know what came over me" I could see that he knew he messed up so I let him go "why is it not ok that I date her? I really like her Corey, I would never hurt her" "yes you would Colby! I've seen you with other girls and how you treat them. I just don't want that to happen to my sister" "Maddie's different Corey, I would do anything to be with her. So please Corey, let me date her" "fine, but if I hear that you hurt her in ANY way possible, your dead" " thank you, now let's go find her" "no just me, I made this mess so I'm going to fix it" and with that he was gone.

It's starting to get dark out but I have no intention of leaving just yet. I've been crying for so long that I didn't even notice that my name was being called. After a few minutes I see Corey jogging towards me, I try and get up to run but my legs won't let me. Soon he's right by my side and that's when I snap back into reality. I dry my tears as best as I could but new ones kept flooding out. When Corey tried to hug me I flinched and moved away, it's just Corey so why am I so scared of him? I look at him and I can see that he's confused but mostly sad "What did you mean by 'I wish dad killed me when he had the chance'" I just stared at him, it's like the words got caught in my throat and they couldn't get free "Maddie please talk to me, I'm so so so sorry for what I did. I was being stupid and protective and the words just slipped out but I didn't mean any of it I swear. I love you so much Maddie and I don't care if you and Colby date, as long as your happy I don't care" after that I felt my throat open up and all the things that I had bottled inside me for my whole life came out "Dad hurt me Corey, sexually, physically, mentally but one day he got mad, like really mad and he took out his gun and pointed at my head. He said that if I didn't do everything he asked he would fire the gun with no hesitation. That's why I'm so scared all the time and how loud noises make me flinch and when people try and touch me I back away. I don't cry because I'm to scared someone will hurt me like dad did if they heard me. I was scared to tell you about Colby and I because of what you would do to him or me even though I know you wouldn't hurt me. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you sooner but I was scared that you wouldn't believe me if I told you because you look up to dad so much and I didn't want you to know that he wasn't the person who you think he was. I'm so sorry Corey" by the end Corey was in tears and hugging me, when we pulled away he said "I'm sorry that dad did that to you, if I knew I would have asked you to move in with me sooner. And you can tell me anything and it wouldn't change a thing ok, I love you so much Maddie and nothing will change that ok. Nothing." All I could do was nod my head, we sat there for a couple more minutes before we decided to go home.

When I walked into the house I was instantly hugged by Colby, I giggled a little bit and then he put me down. "Are you ok?" "I am now" we just smiled at each other until I heard Corey clear his throat. I stepped back and blushed a little, Corey then said he was going to bed and gave me one last hug. "Do you want to sleep in my room again?" "Only if I can have one of your hoodies" "whatever" he said rolling his eyes playfully, we laughed for a bit then went upstairs.

After I changed into his hoodie which went down to my knees because I was so short, I went into his room and he was already laying in bed half asleep. I got into bed and Colby immediately wrapped his arms around me and brought me closer to him. With that I fell asleep letting go of all the bad things that happened today.
