BUTTERFLIES

chapter four: see ya

—Colby POV—
I woke next to her and when I saw her face my heart dropped. She finally looked at peace, she always seemed on edge; but now she was relaxed. I gently rubbed my head down the side her face and she moved slightly so I pulled my hand away. I was scared to wake her, I carefully got out of bed and as I went to such the door I watched her grab on to my pillow and pull it close to her. I smiled but my cheeks started to hurt slightly, they were sore from smiling so much yesterday, no one has ever made me smile this much.

—Y/n's POV—

I woke up this morning expecting Colby to be right beside me, but he was gone, I looked around the room but no sign of him anywhere. So I decided to take this time to be a little noisy.
He had lots of little knickknacks and trinkets that it looked like he collected himself.
I saw a blank sheet of notebook paper sitting on his desk, so I picked up a pen And drew some little doodles until I ended up walking down stairs. There he was making breakfast. I couldn't help but smile, I felt me cheeks go hot, I was blushing.

Y/n: *puts hands on his hips* Good morning Mr. Big shot

Colby: *glances back at me* Hey! Good morning *smiles*

Y/n: You're up early * glances at the clock on the microwave* It's 6:45 in the morning and it looks like you have been up for a while.

Colby: Yeah I couldn't really sleep and I didn't want to disturb you look so peaceful.

Y/n: So you were watching me sleep? *sits on the counter next to the stove*

Colby: What? No!

Y/n: *laughs* oh really now?

Colby: What ever don't believe me *smiles at me*

Y/n: I don't *pokes the tip of his nose*

Colby: hey! stop doing that. *chuckles*

y/n: *takes a large inhale* smells good.

Colby: What? *glances back at me* oh yeah. I thought you might be hungry.

Y/n: Oh cool, yeah I am.

Colby: we have to leave here soon, that is unless you want to walk.

Y/n: * jumps off the counter* what?! no way! It's the middle of winter and it over 20 something miles away.

Colby: I was joking! *starts plating the food* I'm not some monster. * chuckle slightly* here you go *hands me a plate*

Y/n: Thank you *smiles and sits on the counter*

—Colby's POV—
I simply couldn't help but stare, I shouldn't want her as much as I do. She is smart and beautiful and over all to put it simply. Amazing, I was admiring her she looked up at me and we locked eyes and for a minute. I felt like she finally looked like she was letting me in.

—y/n's pov—

Colby: What is that? *points at my necklace*

Y/n: *grabs necklace* this?

Colby: Yeah, what is it for?

Y/n: A few years back my parents gave them to me and my little brother, he had um *looks down at the floor and chuckles slightly* he had picked up mine and tried to put it on, he was only about nine or so. When my mom told him that it was mine he said he wanted to wear it to remind him of me. I told my mom I was okay with it and I took his. *holds out necklace for Colby to see* H for Henrik and my parents always called him the littlest one and I was little one... *starts to tear up* He never took it off and neither have I.

Colby: *walks up to me and stands between my legs* hey hey don't cry, I think that is amazing. *smiles*

Y/n: *wipes tears* I just want to bring him home.

Colby: And I promise you will, now come on, get off the counter *takes a step back* we need to get ready and head off.

Y/n: yeah your right *jumps off counter*

Colby: I will go grab you some clothes, or do you want me to grab you yours?

Y/n: Grab mine? There dirty.

Colby: No I washed them for you last night, but I will grab you one of my shirts so you have something different to wear.

Y/n: *blushes* Thank you *smiles*

Colby: Of course *smiles then walks up stairs and I follow*

Colby handed me one of his shirts and we both got dress and ready to head off. He opened my door for me and we cracked jokes until he stopped about a 5 minute walk from the school.

Y/n: *looks over at Colby* Why are you stopping?

Colby: I can't risk the teachers or the other students for that matter seeing you get out of my car, I could be in a lot of trouble and possibly lose my job.

Reality started to set in, The man that I started finding myself having a strong connection with and possibly even feelings for what is my English teacher.

Y/n: Oh yeah duh. *opens door* I will walk here after school?

Colby: yeah, and I will pick you up and we can go home.

Y/n: Okay *gets out* See you in class Colby. *smiles*

Colby: Remember, here *point in the direction of the school* it's Mr. Brock.

Y/n: oh shit, my bad. Mr.Brock

Colby: It's no problem, see you there *waves goodbye to me*

Y/n: See ya *smiles and waves*
