The Mistake | Colby Brock

Chapter Eleven- Rumors

Jordan's pov
I wake up in my bed alone. The chains reattached to my skin. Why would he care anyway? I'm just a prisoner.. no, don't think like this. He cares, they all do. A man opens my door. He had brown eyes and brown hair. "We need to talk." He says, i don't respond i just look at him coldly with an 'i'm not scared of you' face, if i show i'm vulnerable he'll take advantage of that. "Okay well..." he trailed off taking a seat at my desk turning the chair to face me. "I need you to stay away from Colby. For good." My blood boiled as he said those words to me. "What?"

  I had to. Colby was getting way too attached to her and last night i had to kick him out of her room. I don't trust her. But i couldn't do it myself. So i got someone else to do it for me. His name was Adam and he worked for a clan and was an old friend of mine. He is really good at compulsion without making it seem like it. So she wouldn't know he's doing it but it would work. This was messed up but it had to be done. I can't trust her. She won't let her guard down easily though.I sent Adam in and hoped this worked

I cleared my throat and looked at her again. "You heard me, stay. away. from. Colby. and everyone. " She scoffed. "What makes you think ill do that. They're my friends." What im about to do it really fucked up and might add some lies but i AM getting paid and i heard she's really hard to get to so if it takes this much then it has to. "If Colby was your 'friend'..." I made air quotes, "you wouldn't be tied onto here, would you?" She broke my gaze and looked up at the ceiling. "I guess i wouldn't be." She made eye contact again and i made my voice calmer so it would sink in. "He doesn't like you, Jordan. Neither does anyone else here." she looked at me intensely, it hurt me but i couldn't stop now though. "You're an outcast that everyone is putting an act up for. They might say different but that's only because they won't want you pulling anything. They. Don't. Like. You. get that through your thick skull. If you don't stay away from him, or them i'll make you." She was gone now, before i didn't see any emotion, now i see sadness, hatred, regret, and so much hurt in her eyes. i sighed."Now lastly, when i walk out this door, you won't remember me, you'll remember everything i said but you never saw me. understand?" She was wrapped around my finger at this point. "yes" "good, have a nice stay, J." I left with so much regret. Jake paid me on my way out. "Thanks man, i didn't have the heart to do it myself." He said. "Whatever man i'm just doing it to support my family."

   I walked up to her room to see her zoned out and a single tear left her eyes. The least i could do is untie her now, knowing she won't be dumb enough to do anything. "I'm taking the chains off, i don't care what you do as long as you don't try and escape. I have eyes around the city, i will know if you try and leave. Understand?" She just nodded with her glossy eyes. "I said. Do you understand?" I asked way more harshly this time around but i got no reaction but a thick attitude. "Yes whatever can you take these off now?" She motioned to her hands. I sighed and unlocked them. Setting the key on her desk. If anyone finds out about this i'm a dead man. I just betrayed my best friends. She sat up and leaned her head on her dashboard. "You can go now." She almost growled. "You don't want anything to eat? you haven't eaten all day and-" she cut me off. "no. leave before i make you." She snapped. I fucked up big time. "Yea whatever." I said as i walked out, snapping the door shut behind me.

I cried. well cried isn't the right word more like bawled. I knew they didn't like me yet i still let my guard down. God i'm so stupid! I pulled my knees to my chest and sat like that for a long time. Its useless. I don't belong here, why did i think that colby, or anyone here would care about me here unless it was so i wouldn't leave?
  I don't remember how i found out. I just know now that i know. I cried myself to sleep that night. Thinking about all my mistakes. All my regrets, i really thought they were my friends. My mom told me to never trust strangers, yet i still did. And why? Because of a dumb little boy crush i had over someone that doesn't care about me. I guess it wasn't meant to be. I sighed and let sleep consume my body. I miss my parents. With my normal life.... I wake up the next morning with my head pounding from crying so much. Okay this is getting out of hand i gotta suck it up. I turn to my desk to see a paper there. That's when i remember i'm not all chained up anymore. I get up slowly and make sure i don't fall while my legs are weak. I grab the paper to see it's a note. Come downstairs when you're ready. Breakfast will be there. ~Jake. p.s i left you some water on your desk. p.p.s hope you like pancakes. I groaned and changed into something more comfortable. Who writes 'p.p.s' on a note? That's weird. I left my room, to be blinded by light. My room doesn't have thin, light colored curtains so this was so bright to me. I rubbed my eyes and found the staircase. When i walked down everyone was clapping at me. What the? I look down to see the roommates there. Jake, Colby,Aaron,Corey,Sam, and the pets. Why do they put such a big act up? I ignored the cheers and sat down at the table. "Soooo, how is it?" Colby smiled at me. Why put such a big act up? This is getting out of hand. "How's what?" i ask bluntly. I rolled my eyes at him and Colby looked confused but shook it off. " I mean how is it being a free woman." He smiled ear to ear and it took everything in me not to smile back. Corey chimed in "Yea girl you looking fresh without them chains." He said in a girly voice. Remember they don't care.Its all an act, right?As those thoughts cross my mind i went back to my hard cold face and shrugged. "Whatever." Is all i said as i went back upstairs , not eating my food. I don't need anything from them. Minutes later Colby walks into my room. "Are you mad at me?" He asks as he takes a seat next to me on the floor. I've been in a bed the whole time i've been here so it's nice. "Why do you even care?" He locked eyes with me and his face softened. "where are you?" He asked, sorry in his voice. I'm right here? what is he talking about? "Are you dumb im actually right here." "No you aren't. I see you, but when i look into your eyes you aren't there." I roll my eyes. "Whatever you're weird can you leave." "Not until you tell me who did this to you." What the fuck? "You're actually insane Brock leave before i make you." He then grabbed my face and locked eye contact. This bitch was compelling me. "J, i need you to-" i cut him off by teleporting to the other side of the room. "what the fuck is wrong with you?! You can't compell your way out of everything Brock!" i yelled "I'm only doing this because i care about you!" He screamed back. "Oh don't lie to me now Brock! I gave you a chance now i have to make you." I tried making a forcefield around him to get him out but he teleported faster than me. how? "Jordan, your weak you'll out use yourself." "Like i care. I'm just rusty." I motioned to grabbed him by his leg before he could move and moved my finger making him fall slightly. I heard an "Oomph" come from him and i pinned him down and walked towards him. "What's your problem? I do nothing to you and you hate me, all of you do." I said softly. "W-we don't h-hate you J, please don't k-kill m-me." He choked. "I wasn't going to kill you. That shows how much you trust me." I said as i let him go outside my room. "Next time you decide to lie at least make it a good one."
