My Little Princess

Chapter 4

Colbys POV:
We get to the football field, and her face lights up, her smile does something to me and it makes me wanna see it all the time. "So what do you think?" Sam asks her, she turns to us still smiling, "I love it, me and my dad used to always through a football back and forth and he would take me to watch football games when he was home." I look at Sam in confusion. "What do you mean when he was home?" I ask, I know I know I'm nosey but I wanna know more about her. "My dad served in the army so he would come home for a few days or weeks and he would take me to Friday night football and Sunday we'd watch the game then go outside and throw the foot ball back and forth. I miss him." She said in response. I'm guessing that he passed away overseas but I'm not gonna ask. I don't want to see her hurt. "I'm sorry." I say as I pull her into a hug. Sam again looks at me like I'm crazy, I know he's gonna ask me about it later but right now I just want to comfort her. "Colby can I talk to you for a minute?" Sam asks I roll my eyes with Y/N still in my arms. "Not right now Sam. Maybe later." He nods and says, "I'm gonna go back to class." I nod and look at Y/N. She has tears in her eyes that she's trying to blink back. "He passed away over seas. And my moms in prison. So I'm living with my aunt and uncle." I nod and hold her tighter.
Y/N's POV:
He holds me tighter. That's when I start to feel the tears streaming down my face. "Hey it's gonna be ok. Come with me." He says and pulls me towards what I think is the bathroom. "Here." He hands me a wet paper towel. I whisper a 'thanks' and go to the mirror and wipe my eyes and the mascara from my face. I dry my face with a dry paper towel. I look up in the mirror and see Colby looking back at me. "Take a picture it'll last longer." I say and smile lightly at him, he smiles back, "Are you ok now?" he asks in a worried tone. "I don't know to be honest, it's like it comes in waves, I don't know when it's gonna happen. It's like it gets me at my weakest moments. I just wish he was here for one more day, we could go to one more football game, throw the football one more time, I could tell him I love him on more time." I feel another tear roll down my face, I wipe it hoping he didn't see it. he walks closer to me, he grabs my face and wipes away the tears rolling down my face. He pulls me into another hug, and just hold me, he starts to sway back and forth, whispering sweet nothings in my ear until I calmed down.
