《Heartless》21

As the day passed, I felt my stomach twist with worry. Something wasn't right.
We had finished breakfast and gone our seperate ways for the day. Sam and Colby had to film and Kat was going to a photo shoot. I decided today would be a rest day, everyone deserves a day where they do absolutely nothing. I put on a sweatshirt and sweatpants and lit a candle in the living room, then bundled up into a blanket and looked for a movie on Netflix. My phone buzzed next to me,
🥰🖤
I smiled, sending back 🖤
I finally chose to watch To All The Boys I Loved Before, and snuggled into my blanket. I felt my eyes getting heavier and heavier as time went by. I finally let myself drift to sleep.
"Dad?" I said peering around the hallways of my old house. "Daddy where are you?" I said as tears filled my eyes. A loud crash sounded from downstairs causing me to fall to the floor. The whole house was shaking. "Dad?!" I yelled and ran down the stairs. He laid on the floor, covered by a bookshelf, he was blue.
I bolted up and sobbed. I was used to bad dreams and could usually calm myself down, but this time it felt too real to calm down. I clawed at my chest trying to fill my lungs with air. I shakily stood up and dragged myself to the bedroom, pulling out a drawer in my nightstand and snatching my inhaler out of it. I took 2 puffs of my inhaler and caught my breath. As soon as I was stable I went to my phone. I had to call my dad.
"Come on Come on Come on" I mumbled as it rang. It eventually went to voicemail causing me to start crying again. I wasn't panicking anymore, but just crying. I sent a text to Colby, I needed him. He responded with I sat on the couch and took some deep breaths. Maybe he's just busy. He's probably busy. Don't be foolish Cora. He always answers.

A soft knock came from my front door about an hour later. I wiped my face to make it look like I wasn't crying. I opened the door to Colby, who was standing there holding a bouquet of sunflowers. "Hey babe" He said and kissed my cheek. "Are those for me?" I said as he made his way into the apartment. "No they're for my other girlfriend" he said causing me to roll my eyes and laugh quietly. "Have you been crying?" He said as he sat on the couch. "I'm always crying, Colby" I said as I looked for a vase to put my sunflowers in. "What happened?" He paused the movie that was playing in the background. "I'm really worried about my dad. I had a bad dream and he was in it...and he didn't answer my phone call Colby..he always answers them. Or at least texts me by now..I feel sick" I admitted. Colby rubbed his hands in circles around my back as I sat next to him on the couch. "Hey, he was probably just busy. Try him again." His tone was encouraging. In reality I was scared to call again. If he didn't answer this time, I would be so scared.
The ringing felt like forever, until I finally heard him pick up, "Hey sweetie. Sorry I didn't answer before I'm driving" he said as I sighed with relief. "It's okay. Where are you headed?" I said and looked up at Colby who was smiling at me while still rubbing little circles around my back. "Going to watch football at the bar. What are you up to squirt?" I chuckled, "uh...I'm with my..boyfriend" I said and smirked when he laughed on the other end, "so you decided to give that boy your heart huh" I couldn't help but smile and look over at Colby, "you could say that." I said sweetly, "well I'm happy for you hon I can't wait to meet him." I couldn't wait for Colby to meet my dad. "Alright, well have fun at the bar okay?" I said and brushed the hair out of my face. "I will. Have fun with your boyfriend, but not TOO-" I laughed cutting him off, "I won't dad. Okay love you bye." I hung up the phone and sighed with relief.

Colby pulled me into his arms and I cuddled into his chest, he started the movie back up. "How was filming?" I said as he played with my hair. "It was great, we weren't filming for the Sam and Colby channel, so I don't have any ghosts on me right now." He laughed. "I want to go ghost hunting again" I said and looked up at him, "Are you sure? I know what happened last time scared you." He pulled me a little closer to him. "It wasn't that bad" I lied. He raised his eyebrows at me, "Okay it was but it was so thrilling!! Let me adventure with you Colby!" I said and pouted my lip. He laughed and kissed my head. "I'll think about it." He said and we continued to watch the movie.
Colby's phone buzzed, causing him to look at his phone. "Oh my god." He said making me sit up. "What happened?" I said turning to him. "Someone's trying to break into our house" he stood up and grabbed his keys. I stood up and quickly followed him to the door, "stay here Cora." He said and reached for the door. "no, Colby I'm coming with." I said slipping on my shoes. "Cora-"
"I'm coming." I interrupted as he opened the door. He didn't protest and gestured for me to go out first. I locked my door and we headed to the house.
