Chapter 15

"This food is so good." Zoe says with a full mouth.

On my plate is a ton of fresh fruit, pork, and some pasta salad. All of which is amazing. We watched them cook the pig on site and it was cool but you know kind of sad, but delicious I can't help it.

The luau ends and the sun is officially down. We all head out to the cars with huge food babies, Jake especially. He sticks his stomach out more and groans, making us all laugh.

"Hey I need to stop at a store on the way back to the house to grab some stuff." Colby says.

"You go do that I'm headed home so I can put on clothes that will fit my fat body." Sam says. He lifts up his shirt and then Corey smacks his stomach.

"Ow!!!" Sam shrieks and bends over in pain.

"Can I come with you." I ask Colby. "I need some..." I look around at everyone and then just decide to say it. "Lady products."

"Ewww." Jake squeals.

"Ok Kendall you go with Colby and then the rest of us are going in your car so we can fit an extra person easily because we want to go home and lay around." Zoe says quickly and ends up out of breath by the time she's done talking.

"Okay." I laugh at her exhaustion.

So that's exactly what we did. Zoe in the driver seat, Adriana in the passenger seat. Corey and Jake in one seat and then Sam in the middle of them.

We wave goodbye to them as Colby and I get in his car.

For a celebrity, I would think he'd have some badass Lamborghini or something but he drives a cute lil red corolla.

"So we need to find a store." Colby says. I nod my head and start searching the streets.

A ding from Colby's phone in the center console catches my attention. I look over at him and he quickly locks his screen. Automatically I assume who could be texting him.

I look back out the window and spot a Walgreens.

"There." I say.

"Oh sweet." He says and take a right towards the store. His phone dings again and this time I ignore it, and so does he, again.

We park and get out of the car. I notice a group of guys over in the corner of the parking lot and they're being loud and they seem drunk.

Colby notices them too and I see him get a little closer to me, making me feel safe.

The store is quiet. There's no one in it besides the cashier. He goes and gets what he needs and I go to the feminine products to grab what I need. I start heading back and my eyes catch the Candy section. I start walking over there with eyes wider than my stomach.

I can't believe I'm even considering buying candy after the huge meal I just had. But, I don't care and I grab a bag of sour gummy worms. I see Colby walk past the aisle and then walk backwards to see me. He smiles and walks towards me.

"What are you doing." He shakes his head when he sees me grabbing the gummy worms.

"Maybe for later." I wink and he laughs. We walk up to the counter and I put my stuff up. Colby had grabbed a bottle of Smirnoff vodka and shampoo/conditioner. Interesting combination. Colby scoots my stuff over next to his.

"I can pay for my stuff." I say.

"Don't worry about it." He smiles and pays for everything. We walk out and as we head to the car the group of guys from earlier start yelling.

Colby and I look over and see the group walking over towards us.

"Cmon lets go." I say. I try pulling Colby's arm but he stands ground, looking at the group.

"Where are you guys going?" One of the guys asks. He has scraggly facial hair and a red baseball cap on backwards.

"Home." I reply and try pulling Colby again.

"You guys should leave us alone." Colby says suddenly.

"What did you guys buy?" The guy with the cap gets really close and tries to grab the bag out of Colby's hand. He yanks the bag away and shoves the other guy.

"What the fuck man??" He stumbles backwards and his friends barely catch him.

"Colby can we please just go?" I grab his hand again and try pulling him.

"Yeah listen to your bitch, Colby." The guys smirks.

Colby slowly moves his head from looking at me to looking at the guy. His jaw tenses.

"Don't call her that." Colby says.

The guy walks over to Colby again and shoves him.

"I can do whatever I want." The guys chuckles and gives one of his friends a high five.

Colby goes over to the guy and punches him in the jaw, making him stumble and fall back to the ground.

One of the guys friends runs over to Colby really quickly and punches him in the face, making Colby stumble. He holds his face and I can tell he's in pain.

"Colby!" I run over to him and see his lip bleeding.

The guy that punched Colby grabs my wrist.

"Let go of me!" I try yanking my hand away but his grip is too strong.

"Hey!" The cashier from in the store comes out and sees what's happening. "I'm calling the police!"

Colby punches the guy holding my wrist in the stomach. He leans over, holding his stomach when his friends grab him and they start running.

"C'mon we need to get out of here." I pull Colby and we run to his car. We get in and he starts driving immediately.

"Pull over here." I point to the side of a street. He takes a right and pulls over, his heavy breathing is all I can hear when he turns the car off.

"Are you okay?" He asks. He takes my hand and looks at my wrist.

"I'm fine, are you okay?" He doesn't look up at me nor does he answer.

"Colby." He looks at me and his lip is bruised.

"I'm okay." He says. "I'm sorry this happened."

"Don't be." I reply. "I just want to make sure you're okay, and thanks."

"For what." He looks at me again.

"I don't know, standing up for me or whatever."

I can see him smile from the street lights.

"Let's head back to the house." I say. "They're probably wondering where we are."

Colby nods his head and starts the car.
