《Lucky》35

Advertisement

I stayed at the hospital for a couple days before they released me to go home. I was lucky and was only going to leave with a big scar on my belly and a scar on my forehead.

I called my work and told them I was in an accident so I could rest when I got home.

Daisy hasn't even tried to contact me and it was making me a little nervous. I knew I would be able to talk things out with her but that require for her to talk to me too.

"Ready to go?" Colby asked as he came into my hospital room with my duffel bag over his shoulder. "Not really, but yeah." I said quietly and carefully got out of the bed.

I was really sore from the stitches in my abdomen but they gave me some medicine so that the pain would be manageable.

"Let me help you." Colby said and carefully wrapped his arm around my waist, supporting most of my weight. "Thanks." I whispered as a sadness entered my body. I didn't have much time left with Colby, and it was breaking my heart.

I was going home today.

We slowly and carefully made our way out to where Sam was standing. "Hey, V. How are you feeling?" He asked as I smiled and hugged him, "I'm okay. Sad to be leaving you dorks though." I said as the Uber pulled up.

"Just come back to LA with us..Kat really wants to meet you." Sam said as I chuckled. "You know I would if I could." I said quietly as Colby helped me get into the Uber.

"I know, I'm gonna keep trying until you say yes though." Sam said as they packed the car up.

I leaned into Colby's chest as we drove to the airport. The guys talked about how they were going to edit the video to make it YouTube friendly as I just took in my surroundings.

I focused on how it felt to be in Colby's arms. He held me tight enough for me to feel safe, but not tight enough to hurt me.

I took a deep breath, trying to memorize the way his cologne smelled so I wouldn't forget it.

The closer we got to the airport the more my heart ached. Heartbreak was a part of life that I was used to though.

I'd be okay.

When we got to the airport Colby helped me get out of the car as Sam grabbed my stuff. Luckily my flight was leaving first so they could sit with me at my gate.

"Have you ever thought about maybe just coming with me to Colorado?" I asked them as we slowly made our way to security. "I did. We can't do that though." Colby said as he held my hand tightly.

I was a little nervous about holding his hand in public but I don't think he really cared. We only had an hour together, we needed to savor it.

Getting through security wasn't the most comfortable because they somehow deemed me as a threat, thus having to pat me down.

Colby watched carefully as they pat at my stomach causing me to cringe. "Sorry, I have stitches there." I mumbled as the TSA employee lifted my shirt. "Can you not?" Colby asked in annoyance as I shook my head. "It's okay, Colby. They're just doing their job." I said as they pulled my shirt down.

"You're good to go." The TSA person said as I nodded then made my way back to Sam and Colby. "Are you okay?" Colby asked as I took his hand and sighed.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I need to sit soon though." I said and leaned against him since my whole body was hurting. "Okay, your gate is over here." He said and led the way.

When we got there I sat down and huffed out a breath, then grabbed my backpack to get some medicine. "Here, baby." Colby said and handed me a water bottle as Sam sat next to me. "Thank you." I said then took the pain killer.

The air got heavier the longer we sat there, knowing that our time together was dwindling quickly. I knew this wasn't going to be the end of us, or at least I hoped it wasn't, but it felt like the end.

It felt like he was ripping my heart out and taking it with him.

"Group 5 is now boarding." The person at the desk said as my heart sank. "This is it," I whispered then looked up at Colby. He smiled sadly and pulled me into him as tears started to sting my eyes.

"This isn't the end baby girl. This is only the beginning for us." He mumbled as I cried into his chest. "Shhh, don't cry...it's okay." Colby cooed as Sam reached over and rubbed my back.

"I'm sorry." I whispered then pulled away and opened my arms to Sam, "Bye, Vi. We'll see eachother again. I just know it." He whispered as I nodded slowly. "I hope so." I said quietly.

"Thanks for everything." I said then turned to Colby again. "Come here." He said and opened his arms again as I stepped into his embrace.

He held me for just a second before pulling away and kissing me. I tried to savor this moment as best as I could. I took in the way his soft lips melted against my own, taking my breath away.

I pulled away as soon as I could taste the salt from my tears on my lips, not wanting to remember it like this.

"I love you." He whispered as he rested his forehead on mine. "I love you, too." I said as he wiped my cheek. I noticed his eyes were watering as well, which only made my heart break more.

"I'll be in the air when you land, but I'll call you as soon as I get home, okay?" Colby asked as I nodded and grabbed my backpack.

I slowly made my way to the gate, clutching my ticket as I tried to keep myself together. I turned around and got one last look at Sam and Colby then turned and went to get on the plane.

As soon as I got to my seat I burst into tears. I ended up crying the entire flight, which severely concerned the flight attendants and everyone around me but I didn't care.

I left my heart with Colby.

When I landed I felt my heart break even more, because that meant I would have to deal with Daisy soon.

I had cried so much that my stomach was even more sore than it was before. I ignored it though and slowly made my way to baggage claim.

I didn't know how I was going to lug my bag around since I wasn't supposed to be lifting things, but I was back to being alone now.

I just had to make it work.

When I got to the car I tried to call Daisy but she didn't answer. I wasn't expecting her to but it still made my heart sink.

I wasn't supposed to be driving on my medication but I didn't have any other option, I just had to do it.

I ended up listening to sad music and crying the entire way home. I stopped at the liquor store though and got myself some alcohol since I knew I would need to numb the pain that was filling my chest.

When I got home I just stared at the building, suddenly hating it. I hated that this building was keeping me away from someone I loved.

I hated that the last time I was at this building everything was okay between Daisy and I.

I knew I was supposed to be mad at her for what she did and what she said to me, but I couldn't. I couldn't throw away the friendship we had, it was too precious to me.

When I got inside I looked around the empty apartment. "Dais? Are you here?" I called out as I set my stuff down.

"Look, Dais..I know you're mad at me but we can talk this-" I started and opened her bedroom door. I gasped when I saw that all of her stuff was gone, leaving her room empty.

"D-Daisy?" I asked as tears formed in my eyes. "Dais..please we can talk this out." I said then went to my room to see if she was there.

When I opened my bedroom door I gasped at the sight I saw.

My room was trashed. She had ripped my curtains off of the wall, ripped up every picture I had on my walls. She had shattered the picture frames I had next to my bed and poured wax and bleach all over my bedsheets. She cut up every article of clothing in my closet and dressers.

She ruined everything I owned.

I started to sob as I walked towards my bed, picking up the shattered picture frame that had a picture of me and my parents in it. I held it to my chest and sobbed, looking around my trashed room.

I didn't know how long I sat there sobbing for but I knew I needed to numb this pain I was feeling.

I got up, holding the picture frame as I went to the kitchen and grabbed the bottle of vodka I had just bought. I unscrewed the cap then turned the bottle up, taking a few sips.

I didn't want to get wasted, or even really drunk.

I just wanted the pain to go away.
