I watched as Colby left the room with Sam, Carter, and Juniper leaving Jenna and I alone.

Part of me understood the anger that was radiating from Jenna but I didn't deserve to be treated like how she was treating me.

"I'm sorry." Jenna said as I shook my head. "It's not okay, Jenna." I said simply.

"You can't lash out on me for things out of my control." I said as she sighed. "I thought you were lying and you knew Colby was alive." She said as I sighed.

"I was broken, Jen. Fully and truly broken, thinking he was gone. I would never lie about that." I said quietly.

Knowing that I had to mourn the loss of Colby made my heart ache.

"Julia?" Jenna asked as I started to hyperventilate, seeing the image of me shooting Colby in the chest.

"Julia..." Jenna said as the image of blood pouring out of Colby's mouth played in my mind.

Where was he?

I killed him.

Oh god, I fucking killed Colby.

I looked around the room, panic coursing through my veins as Jenna looked at me with fear in her eyes.

"Julia, you need to relax. It's okay." Jenna said as I brought my hands to my chest.

"H-he's dead. I fu-fucking killed him!" I cried out as Jenna shook her head.

"He's alive, Jule. I-I'll go get him!" She said then ran out of the room. I sobbed, looking around the room as I clawed at my chest.

Images of Colby being killed by me played in my head as I fully panicked.

My hands were shaking as I scooted back, hiding in the corner of the bed.

Time was moving so slow as Colby rushed into the room. "Jules." He said as I shook my head.

"Y-you're dead!" I cried out, scooting away from him.

"I'm alive, sweetheart. I'm right here. I'm here." He said and took my face in his hands. "N-no!" I screamed, my vision spotting.

"Sissy..." Juniper whimpered as my eyes rolled back, a seizure rolling through me.

When I came back to it, I was laid in Colby's arms, a sick feeling surrounding me.

"There you are." He said quietly, running his fingers through my hair. "Colby." I whimpered as he grinned.

"I'm here." He said with a small smile. "I feel sick." I said quietly as he nodded. "Jenna, can you get your sister some water?" He said and nudged his head towards the mini fridge.

"Yeah, of course." Jenna said then went to get water for me.

I could tell she felt bad for saying what she said, but I guess I didn't blame her.

It was traumatic for all of us to lose Colby only for him to come back into our lives.

If she thought I was lying about Colby's death, I understood that there could be some anger there.

I just didn't appreciate her comparing me to our mother.

"Here, Jule." Jenna said as she held out a water bottle for me.

I went to reach for it but my hands were shaking too bad. "I've gotcha." Colby said and took it, opening the bottle for me.

"Is the baby okay?" Sam asked as I nodded. "Baby is okay." I said with a sigh. "Baby is under a lot of stress. We need to keep Julia calm so the baby stays calm. Are we understood?" Colby asked as the kids nodded.
