blakeleigh~

i woke up and saw i was surrounded by hundred of thousands of trees. i didn't say anything to colby since i fell asleep and i wasn't going to break my record.

i got out of the car and stretched and looked out into the distance. literally just trees and one small path that looks like it goes out really far.

the place we were staying was a big nice cabin. it was beautiful.

i went inside of the door to see leather furniture along with a big kitchen and another story. i walked up the stairs in silence and went into a bedroom with a suitcase with my name on it. i took the note off and opened the suitcase to a lot of clothes, shoes, toiletries, etc.

the room was pretty big but only had a king size bed. a desk, closet, and a nightstand along with a bathroom.

i looked around in awe at the view i had out into the wilderness. i came out of the bedroom to see colby setting out a lot of equipment on the dining table. i didnt say anything, instead i went to the kitchen and looked to see if there was any food.

as i found some chips, i went to the kitchen island and watched colby put everything together. it looks like a camera system.

"what's that" i said in a tired voice. "security" he answered blankly. "does that mean that there are cameras in here" i asked.

"not inside. only outside and in trees" he said. i'm surprised that he hasn't gotten mad yet.

i finished half the bag of chips at the same time he finished setting up the equipment.

i then stood up and began to walk upstairs. "where are you going" he asked clicking around the cameras surrounding the cabin. "to shower?" i said like i was asking permission.

"ok hold on" he said setting a lock on his computer.

he then started to go up the stairs signaling me to keep walking. "ok where are you going?" i asked back. "to stand beside the bathroom door" he said.

i remembered that my dad told me that they were going to watch our every move. i grabbed some clothes and went into the bathroom locking the door.

i turned the water on and undressed myself and stepped into the steamy shower. the water hit my back as i leaned my head back under the water to get it wet.

i thought about what colby said earlier.

"quit caring so much! if you care then you get hurt!"" ""exactly. i don't care! why do you think i haven't gotten hurt"

he said he never cared about anything so that's why he's never gotten hurt. i don't know but he is a douche bag that's for sure.

i finally finished showering and got out, dried myself, and put on some fresh clothes. it was around 8 pm by now and i was fully awake.

i brushed my hair and opened the door but colby wasn't there. i looked around and saw him laying down fully clothed on my bed sleeping. he's been up for a long time now and i don't blame him.

i don't even think he went to sleep on the plane.

i quietly grabbed my phone in the bedside table and my airpods and left the room, closing the door behind me.

i tipped toed downstairs and got a water from the kitchen and sat down on the couch.

i put my airpods on my ears and put some music on

atlantis- seafret

i could listen to this song on repeat along with a few other songs i really like.

so basically now, colby and i are going to be living together for god knows how long. seeing as this is such a beautiful and big place that was probably really expensive, we would probably be here for a few weeks to a few months.

i got a text from my boyfriend, mark.

m- hey baby i'm sorry but i had a lot on my mind so i just went out to party a little bit. i'm sorry

b- mark this is like the hundredth time

m- i know and i am so sorry. i would talk to you about everything but i just don't know how to open. up yet

b- i know its okay. just please tell me whenever you're going to do something so i don't get worried please

m- sure thing babe. ok i have to help my mom put up dishes from dinner, i'll talk to you later okay? love you

b- ok love you too

i closed my phone and just listened to my music. there was nothing to do here whatsoever. i would go outside but then again, i don't want to get yelled at by colby.

my music was turned up all the way so i could just drown everything out.

i found- amber run

i then felt the ground shake a bit like it was footsteps but they were running.

i slowly lifted my head up from behind the couch to see colby looking around frantically.

i took my airpods out to hear him scream my name. "blakeleigh where the hell are you?" i heard him say between clenched teeth.

k stood up leaving my phone and airpods where i was sitting. "what colby is something wrong" i said as his head snapped over to me. he came up to me grabbing my shoulders making my face him.

"don't ever leave like that again" he said in a lower but still stern voice. "i was literally on the couch" i said confused on why it was such a big deal.

"i don't care where you were. if i have to so much go into the bathroom with you i will. if i ever fall asleep then wake me up" he said.

"ok jesus christ." i said kind of getting scared of him. "i mean it blakeleigh. i cannot let anyone hurt you" he said with mean eyes and holding my shoulders harder causing them to ache.

"ok fine. but your hurting me" i said making him acknowledge the amount of pressure he was putting on my shoulders.

he looked at his hands and let go sighing.

"just don't leave like that again alright?" he asked more calm now. "okay i won't" i said.

he nodded his head and went to the kitchen island. "but you need to go to sleep. i can stay in the same room as you and wake you up whenever i need something or you know, i'm about to get killed. but you need food and sleep" i said going to the pantry.

"i don't need anything. all i need is for you to be alive" he said looking at his hands. i didn't answer him. instead, i got out some bow tie pasta, sauce, mozzarella, meat, salt and pepper, and two pans.

"what are you doing?" he asked looking at my actions. "i'm making food. hope you like pasta" i said not looking at but putting water into a pot and letting it boil.

"no you don't have to do-" he said rubbing his eyes. "i don't care. you keep me safe, i make sure you don't die of starvation, dehydration, or lack of sleep. an eye for an eye" i said putting the meat into a small pan.

he didn't say anything else.

i finally finished making the food and i served them on two plates. i sat across from him at the kitchen island and gave him a fork to eat it.

"where did you learn to cook?" he asked. "my mom. she would always tell me that no matter who you are cooking for, whether it's your husband, wife, or even a stranger, cook it like it would be their last. she said that means that make it the best meal ever no matter how many times you cook for them" i explained taking a bite.

i watched him take a bite of his pasta and tilt his head. "do you like it?" i asked. "mhm. it's not bad" he said taking another bite.

i smiled knowing that pasta was the first dinner my mom taught me.
