One Trip Changed My Life •Book One•

Chapter Fifty-Three

Colby was finally able to open his gift that I hid. I handed it over while we were packing. He looked at me a bit confused then started opening it. "What is it?" He asked before he even finished. I shrugged with a smile. He chuckled and finished up opening a gift. While we were on a trip in Tokyo, I seen a blade he kept looking at. I heard him mention a few times that he wanted it so one night, I went and got the blade.

"Really?" He asked in surprise. I nodded my head with a smile. But there was more. "There's more, look under the white card at the bottom." I smirked when I seen his face turn a bright red. It was a bunch of pictures he had taken of me. The ones where I was partially or completely naked. He bit his lip and put them back in the box and looked at me.

"Any more surprises?" I nodded again. There was a time we were walking past a sex store and he seen the handcuffs inside and mumbled that he wanted to try that. Along with a couple other things. "Remember those things you wanted to try out, from that, 'special' store?" His eyes went wide and he bit his lip.

We finished packing up quickly and I had placed the items in his suit case. They were all still in boxes. We sat down on the bed for a second and then went to help clean everything up a bit. We had to keep track of time. That was because we were driving home.

We were currently in Colby's car heading home. We decided to just drive because a nice road trip wouldn't hurt. Plus, it would be nice to do this. Music was playing in the background as we drove. Every now and then, we would switch so the other can relax and get a bit of sleep or something to eat. Or jest to give your hands and legs a break.

Hours later, we pulled into the gate to see everybody was already home. Including Sam. We grabbed our suitcases and walked up to the door. We slowly walked inside and seen everybody talking and asking how the vacation went. Devyn and Kat looked over towards the door and smiled. "Oh my God, Lexi, you look so good, oh my god that rock!?" They exclaimed as they seen the ring. Everyone eyes widened at that statement and came running over. "Guys, calm down, it's just a promise ring." Colby said. I laughed and shook my head at their reactions. "Promise ring!? That's a fucking engagement ring boy!" He chuckled.

"I wanted to get a rock as big as my love for her." They awed and I blushed. He chuckled and kissed my temple. We went up to our rooms and unpacked everything. After unpacking, I laid down in bed and began to sleep. Colby came walking in and laid down with me. He pulled me in top of him and we both fell asleep like that.

I woke up and Colby was still sleeping. I didn't want to wake him up so I slowly got up and left the room. I went down to the kitchen to grab a small snack and quickly ate it. Once I finished. I went back up stairs to my room and sat down at my desk to begin editing the video. Colby was still sleeping.

I plugged in my earbuds and blasted the volume so that I can try to block out any white noise. I decided having very soft background music while I talked is a good idea, just to add to the emotion. I felt a hand on my neck and instantly took out my ear buds. "Everyone is gone, I think we should play with our new toys." He growled into my ear turning me in. I turned around in the chair and bit my lip.

As soon as I was about to get up to go into the bed, there was a knock on the door down stairs. I walked down and answered it with Colby following. It was my brother Jake.....all beat up. "Oh my god what happened!?" I opened the door more and let him in and led him to the kitchen.

"T-they guy I'm dating beat me.......h-help me please." His eyes welled with tears and they slowly fell and rolled down his bruised and bloodied cheeks. I wet the bandages with alcohol and cleaned the cuts. Some of them needed stitches and thankfully, because of my mom, I knew how to do this. "Lay back on the counter." He did as instructed. I took off my shirt and gave it to him to bite on. Colby turned on the light and even climbed up in the counter with his phone light.

"Now, tell me if you need a break but I have to do this, not a lot of stitches but you need some." He nodded his head and I quickly pierced his skin and started in closing the wound. There was about five or six stitches above his right eyebrow. I decided I was going to go home for a week to make sure he was going to be okay, and Colby decided to come as well.

"Okay, your almost done." I said before grabbing a tissue and cleaning around the stitches. I placed a huge handed over the stitches and grabbed the ice pack from the freezer and gave it to him to hold on his eye. We packed a duffle back and went to my parents house. I unlocked the door and walked in to see everybody in the living room.

They were all talking until they seen us walk in. Their eyes immediately darted to Jake. "Oh my god hunny!" My mother shouted as she got up and ran over. "Not to fast mom, we should get him to the hospital, we don't know if he has a concussion or not." She agreed with me and we all went up stairs to change his bloodied clothing. His ribs were even bruised.
