When We Met: The asylum

Part 32

I've been in my room for the past 3 days only leaving to grab food but bringing it up to my room. I have only talked to Colby and Kev. I was in my room brainstorming ideas for videos. When I got a message.

Hey! It's Arik. I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out.

Me: sure! Come over in 30?

I texted back quickly, then tidied my room up a little and got ready. He let me know he was here and I quickly ran downstairs and opened the door before everyone else. "Hey!" I said happily and hugging him. "Hi Nicky." He said hugging back. "Welcome to my home. Come with me." I said grabbing his hand and leading him upstairs to my room.

Everyone was looking at me like I was crazy or with a guilty look. I smiled at them but didn't stop to talk. Right before I got to my room I bumped into Kat. "Good morning Katrina." I said smiling. "Listen Nicky.. I'm sorry." She said holding onto me. "It's whatever. You don't trust me. I get it." I said pulling out of her grip. "Now if you want to talk to me about it, you can after Arik leaves." I said walking away to my room.

"What as that about?" Arik asked once we got into my room. "Jake helped me with something and I was thanking him. I told him I loved him. I've told everyone here that I loved them more than once. She over heard it and got uncomfortable because Jake has a girlfriend." I explained

"I asked her what her problem was with me and it became a fight." I said frowning. "Is he your complicated relationship?" Arik asked causing me to laugh. "No! It's Colby. I think I love him." I said smiling. "The past three days, I've only spoken to Colby, my brothers and now you." I told him.

"You should tell him how you feel! You never know what tomorrow can bring, it's better to tell now then after there is no more time." He said standing me up. "Your right! Thank you so much!" I said kissing his cheek. "I'm sorry cut this short but I'm gonna go tell him now!" I jumped with excitement. "I know the way out." He smiled at me. "Thank you again." I said hugging him in my door way. "Anytime Nicky." He laughed walking away.

I ran up to Colby's door and knocked on it loudly. He opened the door confused, "munchkin?" He questioned. I pulled him down as I got into my tippy toes and kissed him. He was confused at first but then kissed back picking me up off the ground and bringing me into his room.

When he put me on his bed he stopped the kiss. "I'm confused." He said playing with his hair nervously. "I like you Colby. I-I love you." I said nervously. "I love you too." He said right before pulling me into another kiss. We didn't go any further than making out but it was nice.

"Let's go for a drive." Colby blurted after an hour of us laying in his bed chilling. "I have to talk to Kat. She stopped me in the hall earlier with Arik." I explained. "Who?" He asked. "Arik. You know that lifeguard." I explained. "Oh..." he said upset. "He's the reason I told you how I felt... he was like don't wait until tomorrow because you never know what's gonna happen." I said mimicking his voice making Colby laugh.

"Remind me to thank him." He smiling at me then kissed my head. "He was here for like 5 minutes tops. Cause I explained a lot to him." I laughed. "What even happened that night? I asked you and you told me you didn't want to talk." I said looking intensely at me. "You know how that night I put my video up on the movie screen?" I asked.

He nodded, "Well you were on your way home with The KRAC house so I couldn't ask you so I asked Jake how to hook my computer up. I thanked him and told I loved him and he said it back. Sam and Kat over heard it. Kat started getting an attitude with me. And every time Tara would speak to me or Jake she would whisper something to Sam." I explained.

"So after everyone started doing their own things I pulled Sam and Kat outside and asked what the problem was so that I could fix it. She got bitchy with me and I yelled bullshit at her. That started her yelling at me basically saying that she didn't trust me. I told her that I literally said love you to everyone." Colby cut me off, "but me..." he frowned.

"That's cause I love, love your goofy ass." I answered smiling. "She realized that I literally told her that earlier and she started to apologize but I was too upset to take it seriously. Then I was too embarrassed to leave my room the past couple days that I literally only talked to you, and my brothers. Arik randomly texted me today asking to hang out." I explained.

"Is that why they were all asking about you to me?" He asked. I nodded in response. He just laughed and I giggled with him. "Do you want me to go with you?" He asked and I just nodded. "If you don't mind." I smiled up at him. He nodded and kissed my forehead. "Of course." He replied as he got out of the bed.

"Noooo! You were so warm!" I whined as he pulled me out of the bed. He pulled his sweatshirt off and threw it at me. "Yay!!" I yelled jumping up and down. I pulled the sweatshirt over my head and hugged myself smiling. He just looked at me and shook his head. "What?" I laughed. "Your adorable." He said then kissed me.
