Player ♕ Colby Brock

Chapter 20 ♕ New Enemies

Atmosphere POV:

It was the same morning Colby and I had gotten back from the hospital. We were both exhausted and mentally drained from the events that had just occurred a couple of hours ago and all we wanted to do was get some rest. But it didn't help us at all that right when we got home, Jake was already waiting for us by the front door to give us one of his famous dad lectures.

After listening to him go off on us for half an hour straight, we finally got to go head off to bed. But in separate rooms. It was a mutual decision between us, because we both needed some alone time by ourselves.

We didn't tell the full story to the roommates, especially Jake about what had truly happened. We only told the part where Colby broke his arm, because they would be no way of hiding that.

I couldn't really sleep. So, I was just laying on Jake's bed staring at his pearl white ceiling and letting my mind run wild. For some reason I felt sad to the point where I wanted to cry. And it wasn't because of what had happened earlier this morning. It felt different. Almost like it had to do with something that hasn't even happened yet. Maybe the universe is trying to warn me, but I can't pin point on what it's about.

A sigh left my lips as I slowly made my way downstairs to go find my best friend. Nowadays, I would usually go to Colby if I didn't feel okay, but his going through some stuff on his own, so I didn't want to bother him with my problems.

Jake was curled up on the couch watching Corey and Aaron playing video games on the flat screen tv. Laughter left their lips along with some profanity, but soon Jake's laughter died down when his fiery eyes meet mine. His face harden, which let me know that he was still mad at me with what had happened earlier.

A sigh left my lips as I made my way over to him and curled up next to him. His body tense up as I leaned my head into his neck, so he wouldn't see the tears that were flowing down my face. After sometime he slowly relaxed and wrapped his arm around me, causing me to move closer to his warm body.

I silently cried as I was being held by him. I didn't know why I was so upset at the moment. I thought maybe it could be that I'm still shaken up from what happened earlier today or that I didn't like the fact that Jake was mad at me. It made me feel like I disappointed him and I never wanted too.

I slowly turned my head and rested my right cheek on his chest. My watery eyes wander over to Corey and Aaron. They both gave me a weak smile, before turning their attention back to the screen.

The sound of the doorbell ringing caught all of our attention along with an unfamiliar voice, "Where's my boy, Colby!?" A husky voice yelled.

A groaning sound left Jake's lips causing my watery eyes to wander up to him, "Dude, I have ever I told you guys how I don't like that kid." He mumbled.

Aaron and Corey gave each other a look, "Dude, I wish Colby would just realize." Corey sighed.

"Realize what?" My voice cracked as I asked them.

Jake gently rubbed my back, "About Brennen." He whispered.

An annoyed Sam appeared in the living room with Brennen Taylor behind him, "What's up guys?!" His voice boomed, causing the mood in the room to suddenly change.

I never actually meet Brennen in person, but I was told that was a good thing. Even though we don't follow each on any social media apps, I find it weird that he will comment or even like certain posts of mine that had to do with just Colby. He seemed like a clout chaser which I did not like one bit. Especially if his using the people I love.

My watery eyes narrowed at his vlog camera, "Why do you have that?" I curiously asked.

He gave me a look, "I'm doing a video with Colby today."
