Roommates

Chapter 15

I wake up in the middle of the night shaking. I carefully try and get out of bed without waking jake up. Awweee he's so cute when he's sleeping, focus tailer, I waddle over to the door and quietly open it. I walk to the bathroom and splash cold water on my face. I sink to the floor and put my knees against my chest and try to tell myself it was just a bad dream.
I begin to hear footsteps coming closer to me and revealing a very tired colby.

"Hey what are you doing up?" He says sitting beside me.
"I had a bad dream" I say looking at the floor.
"Wanna talk about it?" He says lifting up my head to face him.
I shook my head no and looked back down at the floor slowly drifting off to sleep but I try and stop myself. I feel colby's arms around me lifting me up off the floor. I look up to see him smiling down at me and taking me back into my bedroom.
"I have legs, I can walk ya know" I whisper so I don't wake jake up.
"Yeah and one is broken so there you go" he said putting the blanket over me.
"Goodnight sweetheart" he says walking over to the door.
"Sweetheart, really?" I say looking over at Colby but he just ignores me and shuts the door. I cuddle back up to jake and lay my head on his chest. Before knew it, it was morning, I turn over towards jake, but he wasn't there. I sit up, grab my crutches and head downstairs.

I get downstairs and see colby sat on the sofa.
"Morning sweetheart" I say mocking him after last night, he didn't say anything back he just carried on scrolling through his phone and smirked when I said it.

I turn around to see Jake in the kitchen cooking.
"Morning babe" he says without turning around.
"How did you know it was me?" I ask sitting down.
"Those loud ass crutches" he says letting out a giggle.
"I made you breakfast" he says bringing pancakes over to me.

While jake is still finishing his breakfast I head upstairs to get changed. I open the door and shut it behind me, I get changed, brush my teeth and do my hair.
A few seconds later I hear the door open.
"Jake?" I say turning around. Not to see Jake but to see colby.
"What are you doing in here?" I say.

Colby walk over to me looking me in the eyes.
"Col-" I get cut off by his lips being pressed against mine. I try to pull away.
"Colby, I can't do this" I say, Colby takes his lips off mine.
"He doesn't have to know" he says grabbing my hand, I pull my hand away.
"No colby, what has gotten into you?" I say taking a few steps back.
"Look tailer, I like you okay and I can't bare seeing you with jake" he says.
"But colby I'm in a relationship with him and there's nothing I can do about that" I say looking at him.
"O-okay" he says walking away, shutting the door behind him.

I set my crutches down and lean against the drawers. What the hell was that? Do I tell jake? I should tell jake right? The door opens and Jake walks in. I guess I better tell him.

"Hey jakey?" I say grabbing his attention.
"Yeah babe?" He says walking over to me.
"Colby's jealous" wow perfect way to tell him what happened.
"What?" He says wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Colby kissed me then told me that he can't bare seeing us together" I say before jake pulls his arms away from my waist, he begins to walk out the room. I need to go after him and just to my look, I fall, really tailer?

"JAKE DON'T DO ANYTHING TO HIM!" I shout because obviously I'm not going to stop him after falling.
"Hey!" I hear coming from colby's room with a following crash. I slowly get up, ouch my rib. I hop out the bedroom to see that jake has his hands around colby's throat.
"Jake stop, your hurting him" I shout letting a tear fall down my face. Jake lets colby go and I just hop away, down the stairs and out the door avoiding all comments said to me.

I sit on the step outside.
"Babe?" I hear.
"Go away" I say sobbing.
"Why?" Jake asks.
"Why? Really? I told you not to do anything, I fell and hurt my leg and fucking rib and you didn't care. You hurt colby, yes what he did was wrong but you seriously didn't need to do that" I say standing up.
