Chapter 23
3rd pov:
As Sam and Colby made their way downstairs, they both heard muffled talking but payed no attention to it. The stepped off of the steps and walked into the kitchen, unknowingly passing an unwelcome guest.
"So how was the trip lovebirds?" someone said from behind them. They both whipped their heads around to see the one who tried to ruin them. Brennen stood there, leaned against the wall, showing off a menacing smirk. Colby was horrified, he knew Brennen wanted him gone so he could have Sam to himself at any cost. He just didn't know what he would do. Sam stood strong, quickly stepping in front of Colby and grabbing his hand to attempt to calm him down slightly.
"What do you want?" Sam asked, glaring at Brennen. The man leaning on the wall slowly stood up straight and started inching closer to the couple, sliding his hands in his back pockets.
"Not even a hello? Ouch! And I want a lot of things Sammie, you'll have to be more specific than that." Brennen said, obviously being difficult. Sam rolled his eyes and started back at him with a look that could kill.
"You know exactly what I mean asshole, what the fuck do you want with Colby? He's done nothing to you and suddenly you want him gone!" Sam screamed. Brennen stopped in his tracks, he was about five feet away from the blond boy when he started laughing like a mad man. His left hand came and rested on his stomach while laughing, his right staying in his back pocket.
"You really think he's done nothing to me?! He took everything from me! I had everything I could've ever wanted and then suddenly bam! I lose everything and am left behind with him by your side! You were supposed to be with me! But no! You go by that soulmate bullshit! All it does is set you up for failure with the people you already have!" Brennen screamed. Colby glanced at Brennen's left wrist and saw a large 'X' tattoo, covering the word 'none'. Brennen was one of the people who were destined to never have an assigned soulmate.
"Brennen that's not Colby's fault! You really think anyone chooses who their soulmate is going to be? That's just fate!" Sam screamed back. Colby and Sam watched as Brennen put a hysterical smile onto his face as his right arm started moving slowly behind him.
"Well then I guess whatever happens is fate right?" Brennen whispered just loud enough for us to hear. Colby watched in slow motion as Brennen pulled a gun out of his back pocket and taking aim at the couple. Colby squeezed Sams hand and closed his eyes, sure that it was his last moment alive.
BANG
Colby opened his eyes. Just in time to see Brennen running out of the house with the gun. Just in time to see Sam fall to the ground, blood running down his face, eyes blank. Sam hit the ground with a thud, Colby following him to the ground, tears falling down his cheeks. Sam didn't move, didn't breath, he was gone. Colby couldn't do anything, he sat there, his hand still holding his lovers hand. He looked down at his wrist and watched as the small crown on his wrist turned blood red. That was it. His soulmate was dead, he couldn't protect him. He heard people running towards the kitchen and a chorus of gasps and screams. Corey, Elton, Jake, Reggie, Katrina, Devyn, and Tara were crowding the door way, all of them bursting into tears. Elton had called the police and the paramedics. Colby couldn't move, couldn't speak, felt like he couldn't breath, yet he couldn't stop looking into the cold dead eyes of the love of his life.
Sirens could be heard from outside. Some of the police cars passed the house, already looking for Brennen, the rest rushed into the house. Corey and Elton stepped forward and grabbed Colby, snapping him out of his trance.
"NO! NONONONONO PLEASE! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! THIS HAS TO BE A DREAM!" Colby screamed as he was being dragged away from the body and back up the stairs. Elton and Corey put Colby into Sam's room and shut the door. They had propped something in front of the door so Colby couldn't leave the room. They could hear him screaming throughout the whole house. The paramedics looked over Sam's body and confirmed him to be dead. They put a blanket over him and brought his body out to the ambulance, quickly driving away. Colby watched from the window as his friends drove after the ambulance. He was left alone with his thoughts and no one to help him cope with what had just happened. So he did the only thing that he knew would help.
He went off to visit Sam, and go through their own happily ever after.
The group of friends came home to check on Colby, walking to the eerily quiet room and opening the door. They were met with another body, cuts lining his arms and thighs, and one more deeper cut across his throat.
