The Traphouse // c.b & b.t

It's Game Time

"Colby calm the fuck down." I lower my voice and pull him aside a little more.

"What the fuck Candy." He says, looking down. "So it's true?"

I sigh. "It is true," I put my hand on his shoulder and he jerks it away. "Why are you so upset?"

"Why do you think I'm upset?" He raises his arms in the air.

"Colby I have no idea." I cross my arms against my chest.

"Fuck this." He pushes me aside and walks back to the party.

"Colby!" I call after him but he keeps walking.

I stand there shocked. Why the fuck is he so pressed? Devyn and Kat make their way over to me.

"What happened?" Kat asks. Devyn puts her hand on my shoulder as they both stare at me.

"He knows that I kissed Brennen." I say.

"Oh shit." Devyn says. "Did Brennen tell him?"

"Fuck, probably. But I don't know why he's so upset." I say, still extremely confused.

"Duh." Kat says. "He likes you."

I look at her, eyes wide.

"Likes me? I thought this was all just a game?" I cross my arms.

"How would you feel if you knew he was kissing other girls-" Devyn begins to say but Kat and I give her a look. "Yeah you're right, he's kissing girls all the time."

"So, but how does that make you feel?" Kat asks me.

"I don't know, I don't really think about that part." I respond. I try to think about how I felt when Devyn told me about him and other girls for the first time. Was I upset? I mean maybe a little bit but not a lot, I barely knew him at the time.

"So you don't like him like that?" Devyn asks.

"I don't think so." I look down at the ground. "Now I feel bad."

"Don't." Kat says. "C'mon let's get a drink."

I nod my head and we go back inside to the party.

We get to the kitchen and Devyn starts pouring the three of us shots. I don't see Brennen anywhere, Colby either.

"Here." Devyn hands me my shot, snapping me out of my thoughts. I gladly take it.

"Cheers." Kat holds her shot up and we all clink.

Just as I'm about to down my shot I make eye contact across the room with the one, Colby Brock.

I could feel my heart skip several beats and my throat closes up when he breaks eye contact, and continues bringing a girl with him upstairs.

I throw my shot back into my mouth.

"Pour me another one." I say sternly.

Devyn takes my shot glass. "Are you okay?" She asks.

"Yes." I reply. I could feel the fire building up inside of me. Now I know what he's doing, he's continuing our game. Even though it hurts like a bitch and I know he's doing it because he's angry, it still hurts.

Devyn hands me my shot glass and I drink it quickly.

"Fuck." I whisper and shake my head.

In that moment I felt what Kat and Devyn were talking about. I know how he feels now. A similar feeling of betrayal, but I can't let it get to me. He knew what to do to get me to feel like this and it worked.

"One more." I hand my shot glass to Devyn.

"Candy-"

"Just one more." I plead. She nods her head and pours the shot.

"Here." She hands it to me and I can feel Kat and Devyns eyes on me.

I hear some loud laughing over to my right causing me to look over. Standing there with some friends was Brennen.

I threw my last shot back.

"I'll be back." I slide my glass back to the girls. "It's game time."
