"Just Friends"

Chapters 15

I woke up in a hospital bed with a needle in my arm and a couple other things surrounding. I looked around. And surprisingly, I didn't move. I just sat there, looking out the large window. Colby walked in the room and sat down. "Hi col-" "What happened" He grabbed my hand and stares at me. "I was with Jason and got upset. So he took me upstairs and... I told him we kissed and now we're here..." I put my head down and played with my fingers. He grabbed my hand again. "You did the right thing..." He calmly said. "Can you tell me what you were going to say?" He looked up at me and sighed. "Okay... remember how in like... what? Jumior year in the beginning we kinda split apart?" I nodded. "Well... I was friends with him. He was so happy and he had a girlfriend. He was a major football player. Super popular. One day one of his friends invited him to a party. He went with his girlfriend... not knowing there would be drugs. So he went. And someone drugged his girl. They raped her in the backyard and Jason didnt know. She came clean a few weeks later since she was pregnant. He acted all calm. He choked her until she was coughing up blood. Then he stopped. He grabbed some scissors and stabbed her in the chest repeatedly. She died of course and he burried her on like this abandoned beach thing. And his friend mark? He didn't have cancer. Jason shaved his head and threw things at him causing him to lose his ability to walk. When you were with your friends a few weeks back, he killed him because he was dating his sister and he broke her heart. Jason got mad and suffocated him in his sleep so when they go see him in the hospital, there is no evidence as to who killed him" I sobbed loudly. Colby sat on the bed and hugged me. "He's gone now... its okay..." I let him go. "How did you know we were upstairs?" "When he was... wrapped around you, he took off your shoes then his... I heard them. He was also yelling at you. Someone opened the door and noticed you... that someone was Sam. He saw you almost give up. He called me up but he of course was quicker and... did things before I got you." I pulled him down and kissed him. "Thank you..." I whisperedunder my tears. "Anything for you, my beautiful princess." He kissed the top of my head. "When am I leaving?" I asked. He checked his phone. "In about-" The door opened. In walked the doctor. "Hello Saffron. How are you feeling?" I sat up and smiled. "my throat is a little soar and do I have a scratch on my hip?" "Oh yes we forgot to tell you. Something cut you so we had to stitch you up. Be careful with it though. Here's some medicine. Feel free to leave whenever you want alright!" He headed for the door. "Wait uh.." "Yes?" "Is Jason... in this hospital?" "He's in critical condition... We'll call you." "Oh you don't have to I was just asking.." "Okay... Thanks for your help Colby." He shook Colby's hand and walked out. "Cmon... let's go." He grabbed my hand and helped me up. I squeezed my eyes shut from the pain. "Are you okay?" "Yea just gimme a minute" I gained balance and walked to my clothes. I didn't bother hiding anything. "Ready?" He grabbed my hand and started walking. I stopped him. "What's wrong?" I smiled and burried myself into his chest. "Saffron." He whispered. I kissed his neck. "I love you." I whispered. He let me go and placed a firm kiss on my lips. "Let's go home." "Colby... My stuff is with Jason..." "There are some cops at his house and my mom is there." I smiled. I haven't seen his mom in a year. I grabbed his hand and lead him out the room. "The car is this way.." He said, grabbing my waist and pulling me towards the other way. I chuckled and followed him. He opened the door. I sat inside. He kissed me softly and went to the other side. "I missed you so much..." He said, grabbing my hand and holding it in his. "So did I..." I reply. "He smiles and looks at me. "What?" I asked. "you're just so beautiful..." He said. I blushed and put my head down. "Thank you..." I whispered. He pulled into the driveway and stared at me. He leaned over and kissed me again. Longer this time. I smiled and stepped out the car. "are you saffron?" An officer approached me. "Yes I am." "Did you know Mark or Jason." "Yes sir..." "What did Mr. Jason tell you about Mark." "He said he had cancer and that was why he was in the hospital but... Colby told me something else..." "Okay.. .have you witnessed Jason physically hurting Mark?" "No sir." "Okay... And how long have you known the both of them?" "Jason about five months and Mark a few weeks maybe?" "Okay.. thank you. You can gather your things. We packed them up for you." "Okay thank you. Uh can I get your name?" "Frank." I smiled. "Thank you, Frank." "Glad we could help" I walked inside and picked up my bags. I turned around to find myself in Colby's moms arms. "Saffron... you got so big..." She said, stroking my hair. "I missed you soo much" I replied, squeezing her tighter. "So did I sweetheart." She sniffles and took me off. "But I'm so glad you're okay..." She smiled and kissed the top of my head. "Thank you." I placed my bags in Colby's car. "Ready?" He asked. "Yea..." I looked in the house and sat in the car

"I missed this place..." I said, looking around the house and walking up to my room. "It missed you... Wanna see something?" He left the room and returned with something in his hands. "Remember Koki?" He asked. "Yea what about her?" He placed it down on the bed. It was Koki. She still looked the same. Only she was a little bit older. "Koki!" I squealed. She jumped on top of me and licked my face. "She was sick for a while... we thought she wasn't gonna make it but after some surgery and some time in the vet, they fixed her up." He patted her head and smiled. "Oh I missed her so so much. " I rubbed her head. "So saffron..." He began. "Yea?" He scooted closer and grabbed my hand. "What do you say... we make this official.." He continued. "What do you mean?" I smirked. "I want you to be my girlfriend." I looked around. "Gee I don't know Colby..." I leaned over and kissed him. Before it reached the climax, I pulled away. He stood up and pulled me. I got out of his grip. "You have to catch me first!" I yelled. I ran around the house, dodging Colby as he got closer. He grabbed my arm and pushed me against the wall. He roughly put his lips on mine and smirked. "I'll do anything..." He whispered. I raised my eyebrow. "This time for real... nobody needs to know. They can find out on their own..." He smiled and kissed me again. "Fine with me." He growled, wrapping my legs around his waist.
