《Lucky》105

I sucked in a breath as my eyes met Colby's. My instant reaction was to yell and hit him.

But I didn't.

I just stood there, like a deer in headlights. "Violet.." Colby said causing me to snap out of my haze. "Don't talk to me." I said then turned to try and leave the room.

"Please, just hear me out." He said as my jaw clenched. "Oh, hear you out?! Please! Tell me about the sex you had with your ex girlfriend. I want to hear ALL about it." I seethed as he closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.

"It wasn't what it looked like-" He started as I shook my head. "Really?! Cuz it sure as hell looked like you were in bed with a different girl!" I yelled as Sam came and closed the door, trying to give us some privacy.

"Violet..please just hear me out." Colby begged as the anger boiled within me even more. "I don't remember you "hearing me out" when I told you I kissed Jarrod when I was drunk! I remember you just dropping me like I was trash!" I snapped as tears brimmed my eyes.

My head was throbbing at his jaw clenched. It looked like he was about to cry as he examined my face. "That's fair. I never thought of you as trash though, V...I regretted breaking it off immediately after I did it." He said quietly as he looked down.

I could feel my chest aching again as the tears poured down my cheeks. I felt the wall I was trying so hard to build, crumble around me.

I was broken again.

I brought my hand to my chest as I looked away from him. I didn't want to see the pain on his face, it would make this even harder than it already was.

"I...think..I think this is over." I whispered, feeling the last piece of my heart break off. "Please, Vi. Listen to me..for just a minute. Give me one minute of your time. Please." Colby begged as I hyperventilated from the sobs that were wrecking through my body.

"Vi?" Ki asked as she opened the door. "Oh. Get the FUCK out!" Ki yelled as Colby flinched. He kept his eyes locked on my mine though as I sobbed. I was just holding my chest as if my heart would shatter onto the ground if I let go.

"One minute." Colby begged quietly as I ripped my eyes from him so I could look at Ki. "Just give me a minute...I'll be okay." I said as her face hardened. "Okay, but after a minute I'm getting the scissors." She threatened then glared at Colby and left the room, closing the door once again.

"Speak." I said then sat on the bed. "I think Jordan drugged me. I'm not sure, but I wasn't fully there. I took a shot with her, Brennen, and Amber. She handed me the shot and I didn't think anything of it. After I took it I started to get really drunk and delusional." Colby said as he paced the room.

"I knew it was time to go to bed because I felt like I was going to black out. When I got up to my room I got in bed and tried to just pass out." He explained frantically.

"Someone came in the room and started undressing me. I even asked if it was you, but I couldn't see clearly. I suddenly just felt so weak, but I also just felt super drunk." He said and messed with his helix piercing. "The last thing I remembered was seeing you open the door. I knew it was you because of your hair." He said then finally looked at me.

"I don't remember anything else. The next thing I knew, Ki was throwing water on my face to wake me up. I don't know what we did..but I would never do that to you on purpose. I promise." He said then let out a deep breath.

I breathed a laugh and looked away from him. "How in the hell am I supposed to believe that?" I asked as he sighed. "I don't expect you to." He said with so much defeat in his voice I was starting to believe the story was real.

I opened my mouth to respond to him but the door opened, revealing Ki again. She was holding a pair of scissors, while glaring at Colby. "Put the scissors down, Ki." I said as she glared at Colby a little harder.

"Ki." I repeated as she rolled her eyes and tossed the scissors onto the dresser. "Thank you." I said as she combed her hand through her hair.

"Whatever, we have to go now, we don't want to miss our flights." Ki said as Colby looked at me with confusion. "Where are you going?" He asked as I stood up.

"I'm going back to Ohio. Then maybe to Colorado. I don't know." I said as his face fell. "V...you can't do this." He said as I shook my head. "Can't do what? I have to get away from LA. Maybe coming here was a mistake after all." I said as my chest ached.

I knew that wasn't the truth. I knew that moving here was the best thing I ever did, but I couldn't be here right now. It was just too painful.

"Vi-" Colby started but I shook my head. "I have to go." I said as he closed his eyes. I could tell he was breaking on the inside. I could tell he was feeling the same gut wrenching pain of his heart being ripped out.

Part of me wanted to stay and work this out right now, but I needed to look out for myself right now. I needed to mend my heart before I could let him back in again.

I did say anything as I walked towards Ki. There was nothing left for me to say right now.

"I love you, Violet." Colby said quietly as I flinched, feeling the urge to run and jump into his arms and let him whisk me away into the sunset.

I took a deep breath then nodded and linked my arm through Ki's, letting her lead me away from the room.

"Ready to go?" Kat asked as we walked into the living room. "Yeah." I said then turned to everyone. "I'll be back soon...I don't know how long but I'll let you know." I said as Sam pulled me into his arms. "I know it's hard...but try to be easy on him." Sam said just quiet enough for me to hear him.

"I'm trying." I said back as he squeezed me. It was true. I was trying to process what he told me so I could move forward from this. I didn't know what was going to happen to us. I didn't know if we would get back together, or if we would become friends.

I knew he would have to be in my life though. That's the only thing I knew.

"I'll miss you, V." Tara said as she hugged me. "I'll miss you too." I said then hugged Jake. "What the hell are we gonna eat when you're gone?" He asked causing me to laugh quietly. "Cereal." I said then hugged Corey. "Take care of yourself, V." He said as I nodded. "I'm trying to." I said then turned to Kat.

"Ready." I said as she nodded then led the way to the car. "You okay?" Ki asked as I nodded. "Yeah, I just need to get away so I can clear my head.." I said as she nodded. "I understand." She said as we got in the car.

"Did you end up forgiving him?" Kat asked as I shook my head. "I don't know. I'm still trying to figure out if he lying or not." I said as we started our drive to the airport.

"I've known Colby for years...I don't think I've ever seen him really lie. Maybe a white lie or two but nothing big like this." Kat said as I sniffled, feeling the emotions boiling up again.

"I just don't want what he said to be true either." I blubbered out as Ki took my hand, squeezing it.

Yes, I was incredibly hurt by what I saw but it still didn't take away the fact that Jordan could have drugged Colby. I might have wanted to be done with him right now, but I still loved him. I didn't want it to be a reality that someone would do that to him.

It wasn't right.

"I know....but we don't even know if that's what happened. He could have just been super drunk." Kat said as I twisted my rings.

"Yeah..I guess you're right." I said then looked down in my lap, trying to signal to Ki that I was done talking about this.

Ki took the hint then changed the subject as I got lost in thought.

I didn't think that Colby would get blackout drunk in such a short span of time. I saw him only ten or fifteen minutes before I saw him in bed with Jordan. He wasn't super drunk when I saw him.

He also could have just been mad at me for arguing with him. He could have thought it would be good revenge to sleep with the girl I was jealous about while in his drunken state.

I shook my head, hating that I was thinking like that. I knew Colby. I knew he wouldn't do anything like that to me, even while drunk.

It didn't matter though. All that mattered was that I was going away for a little while.

I just needed some time to clear my head and try to mend my heart back together.
