After dinner we all sat on the couch and watch some TV, but I couldn't help but watch something else. The way Colby would laugh at the jokes and mock the actors, was absolutely memorizing.
Jake: Let's what a scary movie! *grabs the remote*
Colby: I don't know man *glances over at me*
Y/n: Don't look at me Big shot! Just admit it, you are a chicken!
Colby: What?! I am not!
Y/n: *grabs remote from Jake* oh yeah? *puts on a scary movie* prove it! *clicks play*
Sam: *gets up from between me and Colby* you guys are getting a little aggressive I don't want to be caught in the cross fire. *sits over by Jake and quickly winks at me*
Y/n: *mouths towards Sam* Fuck you.
Colby: let's do this then y/n *playfully glares at me*
Y/n: *playfully glares back* let's do this loser. *Throws a handful of popcorn*
Colby: What the hell *Throws a handful of popcorn back* Just watch the movie loser.
We were about half an hour or so into the movie before I got scared, I pulled the blanket over my head without even thinking.
Colby: *whispers* chicken.
Y/n: *quickly pulls blanket off* rude! *shoves Colby playfully*
Colby: *laughs and puts arm around the back of the couch behind me* Loser. *whisper yells* Shhhh watch the movie.
Y/n: *whisper yells* you shhh loser.
After a while I found myself getting tired, I glanced up at a wall clock it was 12am already. I slowly leaned into Colby without thinking, I didn't fully realize what I was doing till he dropped his arm around me and held me there. It was nice I laid there for a while before it got harder and harder to stay awake.
Y/n: Hey Colby.. *rubs eyes* I'm getting really tired, where am I going to be sleeping? I'm going to call it a night.
Colby: *pulls arm off* oh yeah it is getting late, and we have school tomorrow. Well you have school I have work. *starts to get up* follow me.
I followed him upstairs and he led me to a room, it had only a bed and my bags.
Colby: If you need or want anything help yourself, but if you need me I'm right down the hall. *smiles*
Y/n: yeah thank you *smiles* goodnight loser.
Colby: goodnight loser. *smiles while leaving and shutting the door*
I laid down and pretty much as soon as my head hit the pillow I was asleep...
—In y/n's dream—
I was putting my little brother to bed when my mom and dad walked in to tell us good night
Mom/Dad: goodnight little one *kisses me on the top of the head*
Mom/Dad: goodnight littlest one *kisses my little brother on the top of the head*
Sometime past and I heard my mother scream.
Y/n: *stubbles out of bed* Mom?
I walked in to my parents room to find my dad dead on the floor and my mom screaming as this tall man dark figure of a man stood over her with a knife.
Mom: *screams* RUN Y/N GET YOUR BROTHER AND GET OUT OF HERE NOW!
Y/n: *wakes up screaming and crying* MOM!
Colby can running into my room and sat on the bed and held on to be tight. I pushed my face into his chest and cried.
Colby: *run his fingers through my hair* I'm right here. *Looks down* Do you want to sleep in my room so you aren't alone? I have a couch in there I will sleep on and you can take the bed.
Y/n: *sniffles* O-okay. I don't want to be alone anymore.
Colby: You're not, I'm right here you aren't alone anymore.
I tried to stand up but my legs were so weak I started to fall to floor before Colby could catch me.
Colby: Woah woah I got you, *picks me and carries me*
He carried me to his room, he placed me on the bed and went to lay down on the couch.
Y/n: *sits up and reaches out hand* no!
Colby: Okay okay *comes back to bed and grabs my hand* I'm right here.
Y/n: *scoots over and pulls his hand down* lay down.
Colby and I laid together, I rolled over to face him has he stared at the ceiling, I moved slightly to get comfortable and glanced over and rolled to face me.
Colby: *stutters* a-re yo-u okay?
y/n: *nods head* mmhm
Colby: *reaches to tuck and piece of hair behind my ear, then quickly pulling away* Sorry
Y/n: No no, it's okay
Colby: *tucks a piece of my hair behind my ear* you need to get some rest.
y/n: I will try *rolls over and try's to sleep*
— Colby's POV—
Colby: *whispers to self* you are so beautiful y/n
