I made my way into the house and saw that everyone except Devyn and Kat was sitting on the couch watching a movie. As I began to walk up the stairs everyone's eyes shifted to me. I took shaky steps towards Devyn and Corey's bedroom and knocked. I could feel my heartbeat pulsing through my body. Devyn opened the door and stepped aside to let me in. I walked into the room and let her walk past me so I could stand closest to the door. Kat sat on a giant bean bag chair in the corner of the room looking at her phone not noticing my presence yet.
"I thought I told you not to say anything." Kat jumped and dropped her phone on the ground. "It's not what it seems.." I held my hand up to stop her. "It seems like once I trusted you with a secret that only like five people know, you went and blabbed. I thought that maybe you were my friend and that I could trust you. But I guess I have learned my lesson." I stated looking her directly in her eyes. She began to tear up as she got off the bean bag to come to me.
"Queen I am so sorry I didn't mean for it to come out. I am your friend and you can trust me." I shook my head and pointed at the bean bag, telling her to sit back down. I looked at her with disappointment and she looked ready to start bawling her eyes out. I turned to Devyn who has been sitting on her bed and raised my eyebrow. "So what's the deal why did you call me up here?" She looks up and me and sighs. "I just wanted to understand the situation better so that maybe we could help."
I shook my head once again. "I'm sure that Katrina has told you all about the situation. There is nothing you can do about it, thank you for being willing to help. I am working on helping myself out of this situation. But for the time being it would be beneficial for all of us if it stayed a secret like it was intended to be." I looked at Katrina again and saw hurt in her eyes. "Why do you look hurt?" I ask softly not understanding what could have hurt her. "You stopped calling me Kat, I know I've lost your trust and friendship and I'm sorry." I think back on my words and indeed, I did start calling her Katrina again. "You have lost my trust but you have not had my friendship to begin with. As I have told you before I am not a good person to be around. You don't need friends like mine, like me, in your lives. So after this week is over you will not hear or see me again."
I walk out of the room despite Katrina calling out my name. I can't get close, I won't ruin their lives. They deserve better than that and you know it. I repeated that in my head a couple of times while walking into Colby's room and sitting on the couch. A few minutes later Colby and Sam come walking in. "Can we talk to you for a second?" Sam asks and I nod my head. "Corey doesn't want to come in here at the moment but he was also concerned on why Katrina and Devyn were upset after their talk with you." I shrugged my shoulders and leaned back into the couch. "Have you tried asking them?" They both nodded their heads. "They won't tell us, that's why we came to you."
I looked at them for a moment. "Well I'm not them so I have no idea what upset them so much, we just had a simple conversation about friendship and trust." I stated just as Corey walked in. "They have both calmed down but still won't talk." He proceeded to shut the door and stand next Sam and Colby. "If it was just a simple conversation, why did we hear Kat call your name as you left." Sam questioned. I noticed Colby was silent during this interrogation. "Because I walked out before the conversation was done. I was done talking to them but I guess they weren't done talking to me. Listen if they don't want to tell you then just leave it alone. I am not them and can't tell you what they feel." I looked towards the door starting to feel uncomfortable with three males standing in between me and the door. Corey and Sam left and Colby stood their just staring at me. "Are you mad at me?" I ask expecting him to not answer. "No , just confused yet intrigued.
Do you want to go somewhere?" I hesitate. Do I want to go somewhere with him? That could be to dangerous.
"Yes," what the heck was that?!?! What's wrong with you I swear you are so dumb. I get up and follow behind him. We get into his car and he silently starts driving. "Is this the part where you take me to the woods to murder me?" I ask only half jokingly. He chuckles and turns on the radio but still says nothing. A little more sketched out I pay attention to my surroundings and make escape routes in my head. Once we stop the car is parked on the side of a highway next to a forest. "Oh so this is where you kill me and feed my body to wolves." I joke and he smiles as we get out of the car . He still doesn't say anything as he takes my hand and leads me into the forest. "Nah son, you either tell me where we are going or you can forget it. This is not the way I die." He looks at me for a minute then looks me up and down. I was about to ask why he was checking me out when he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.
"What the heck Colby!" I squirm to get out of his grip but he didn't budge. We walked, well I rode, for about five more minutes until we came to a clearing. When he put me down and I looked at it I gasped. I was the most beautiful scene I have ever laid my eyes upon. There was a meadow of flowers and beautiful grass that stopped and a stone barrier. Beyond the barrier was a gorgeous waterfall that descended into a lake. "Wow," is all I could manage to say as I went and sat in the meadow new the barrier. Colby came and sat next to me, "yeah I know, I found it while exploring one day and it became my spot. You and I are the only ones that know about it." That was the first time he has spoken since we left the house and I missed his voice. We stayed there and talked for hours. I fell asleep next to him and the last thing I remember before falling asleep was Colby picking me up and heading back to the car.
