Quinn's pov

"QUINN ARE YOU STUPID?!" I hear Corey scream from downstairs

I get up and storm down there

"Let's get the cops to come here and they'll hide. We can ambush him!"

Colby came up and hugged me from behind holding onto me with letting go at all.

"Okay so then call the cops!" Jake said loudly from the kitchen "cause I want to leave and let Taco Bell!"

I grabbed my phone and dialed 911

"911 what's your emergency?" The operator said

"Hi so um this guy who's been harassing me is coming to my house because he knows where I live and he wants me dead so he's been trying to get me to commit suicide so he won't be charged with murder," I said Into the phone quickly

"I've got an officer on the way," she said after I gave her the address

Colby was still attached to me. We hadn't talked privately about what was said in the chat yet.

And as if it was on que

"Hey Quinn can we go upstairs?"

I nodded my head as we slipped away from the group

We saw down on his sofa because the bed was a mess with so much stuff on it.

"So it was true?" He said lowly as I sat on his legs sideways

I hesitantly nodded

I leaned my right shoulder against him and he wrapped his arm around me. His kissed my temple

"Why didn't you tell me? I could've helped. I will help. I am going to help you," he whispered

"I... I was just scared ya know?"

"Yeah,"

"I'm over it all now don't worry. I promise," I smiled cupping his face. He smiled back

"What about your parents?" He asked

I froze. I forgot about that.

"What.. do you want to know?" I choked

"Is that true too?"

"I... I dunno," I said "the only business I knew we had was a painting company."

"Oh..."

I nodded my knowing what to say. A loud knock was heard on the door. Colby got up and went downstairs to talk to the cop that I assumed was here.

My phone screen lit up. I grabbed it assuming it was the group chat. It wasn't.

Private—

Unknown: you're good ya know. Not as good as I am
—

I was confused. I rolled my eyes and shrugged it off.

I went downstairs and to the kitchen. I grabbed a soda and sat on the counter top. I grabbed Colby's phone and went in to change my contact because why not? I heard footsteps behind me. The were quite as if not trying to be noticed.

I turned around and there stood the one and only.

Cody. Miller.

"What the hell are you doing in my house?!"

"Chill I came with my mom. She's the officer here," he rolled his eyes

I groaned

"I didn't know you'd be here," he replied

"Because I don't live with my boyfriend?"

He came and sat in the chair by me. I scooted a tad bit farther away from him.

I looked back down on my phone and changed my contact

Quinny babe❤️🥺🤤

I changed my name. For my contact picture I had to search his camera roll for something that I liked and flattered me. I eventually found a picture of my laughing over FaceTime. He must've taken a screenshot. I decided against it because I had my glasses on and my hair in a bun and I didn't look good. I looked again and found a picture of me sleeping in one of our many pillow forts. I was going to yell at him for that. I looked again and found a picture of us. We were sitting out side. We were laying on the trampoline before it had broke. The sun was setting. I remember taking it. I had a timer on it because my hands couldn't hold his phone with one hand up in the air. Right before the timer hit 1 Colby started laughing causing me to laugh even harder. I liked the picture. I used that one and I changed his lock screen to that one too. His home screen was a picture he took in his car. Before he took it I licked his cheek and it captured that. I smiled at the vandalizing I did to his phone.

"So how long have you been here?" He asked trying to make conversation.

"I don't even remember," I said being honest

"Oh,"

"Yeah,"

An awkward silence fell between us

"Hey.."

I looked at him

"I'm sorry about what happened the other day,"

"Sure you are," I rolled my eyes

"It's true! Macey wanted me to harass you,"

I didn't reply

"Quinn please. I miss my old best friend. You know I would never do that to you,"

"Cody," I sighed "why can't you see she's toxic! She made you harass your best friend!"

"Because I can't leave her!"

"Why?!"

"Because I don't want to hurt her.."

I sighed "of course you don't. You're too nice Cody. You wear your heart on your sleeve,"

"I'm sorry,"

"I wish she never moved her in 7t grade,"

"I all honestly... me too," he confessed

Colby came into the room. He looked between him and I held his phone up. He came over and grabbed it from me.

"Hope you like my vandalism," I smirked

"What did you do?" He asked

"Look,"

He turned his phone screen on and looked at the picture and he smiled softly.

"I remember that," he confessed "we stayed out there for so long. Almost all night. You wanted to watch the sunset and then we ended up stargazing until you fell asleep. Lemme tell you carrying you off that trampoline was a struggle,"

I laughed a little

He unlocked it and saw the home screen

"Oh my god no I'm changing this one," he said

"Noooo," I whined

"That was so gross," he chuckled

"I know,"

He came over and hugged me from the counter. He then sat next to me.

"Colby this is Cody. My childhood best friend,"

"Cody this is Colby. My boyfriend of five months now,"

Boom
