Onward and Upward ||Colby Brock fanfic||

Chaptee {3}

"Annnnnd there." Colby said as he finished cleaning up my nose.

"Thank you again." I said looking at the ground not really knowing what to say.

He had brought me to his apartment where he said he lived with his best friend Sam.

"Okay it's dark out now and it's storming. I don't want you driving now." he said looking outside.

"You can just spend the night at our place and go back in the morning." he said looking back at me.

"Okay let me text Nicole first."

Me: hey don't worry I'm fine I'll be back in the morning😘

Nikki☝🏻️👑: ok I'll see you then night 😅😎

I looked back up at Colby who I didn't know was staring at me until I saw him.

When I look back at him and caught him staring at me he looked at the ground started blushing.

"Ok so what do you want to do?" He asked looking back up to meet my gaze which was focused on his face.

"How about 20 questions since I don't really know you." I said exiting the bathroom.

"Alrighty then." he said leading me to the two person couch.

We sat on opposite ends and just looked at each other for a second.

"Ok I'll start." I said breaking the awkward silence between us motioning towards him.

He looked back and me and grinned. Why was his smile so perfect? He had perfect white straight teeth. And dimples that poked the sides of his face when he smiled.

Ugh stop it Kenzie. I thought scolding myself again for the second time today.

"Okay so, what's your last name?" I asked curiously, genuinely not knowing the answer.

"Brock." he answered smiling again.

Stop doing that it's making me melt. Stop it. Stopppp.

"What about you?" He asked grinning again.

It's really hard to not to like him. Wait what?

"I already told you but again it's Taylor." I said laughing really hard.

"Okay, okay sorry, you got me. Alright let's see. How old are you?"

"18. And you?" I said looking back at him.

"18. Okay where are you from?" I asked looking back out the window.

"Kansas and you?"

"Virginia." I said curtly not wanting to go into that topic.

I knew if I got on the topic I would have a meltdown and I didn't want to have a meltdown in front of someone I barely knew. But currently really wanted to impress, honestly I have no idea why.

"Why did you move to LA?" He asked smiling again.

Great just the topic I wanted to avoid. I just don't usually like talking about what happened.

"Uhh I wanted to be closer to other YouTubers and viners an- and."

Great I knew if I got on this topic this would happen.

Tears prick the corner of my eyes is up my head down in shame. I hadn't noticed I started crying until I felt the warm hot salty tears poured down my face and my nose started to run.

I sniffled and looked back up to him and he meet his worried gaze.

"Are you okay Kenzie?" He said still staring at me with the worry emotion locked on his face.

I wipe some of the tears off the corners of my eyes and look back down to the ground. I guess I had to explain why I was crying, I mean he deserves to know at least that.

"Well I also left because of my stepmother. She kicked me out because she thought I was wasting too much of her money. Which in general was not her money it was my money that I made in a job that I worked hard for. And also the only reason she married my father was for his fortune. She told me to never come back so now I can't even see my little brother anymore, his name was Kendall. And he's about 5 years younger than me. making him twelve now." I said still looking at the ground in shame as if I'd done something horribly wrong.

Warms tears still trickled down the sides of my cheeks as I sniffled and looked back up at him. I looked into his eyes looking for any emotion. I realized his eyes were just like mine except mine are more green.

When he's kinda upset his eyes kinda turn a steel gray.

His eyes were boring into mine as I sat there tears still making their way down my cheeks. He just looked at me for a couple of minutes.

Suddenly I started to feel extremely self conscious. Like the longer he stared at me. The more flaws he could see. The bags under my eyes. The slight freckles spread across my cheeks. Which were still wet with tears.

Like he could see all the tiny little bumps that weren't really noticeable.

The old acne scares from middle school still sitting there waiting for more embarrassing questions like "what are those?"

I hadn't realized he had engulfed me in a hug until I felt the heat radiating off of his touch and the familiar tingles spread throughout my whole body.

What was this boy doing to me? What's wrong with me?

"Shhhhhhh you're okay it's ok." he whispered in my ear, rubbing circles onto my spine sending even more tingles throughout me.

I looked up at him noticing he was already staring back down at me.

"How about we get some sleep?" He said standing up and helping me off the couch.

"Ok I'll sleep on the couch." I said going over to the bigger couch.

He grabbed my wrist and smiled at me and said, "You're going to sleep in the bed with me upstairs. I don't mind. Do you?"

I quickly shook my head no not really wanting to sleep on the couch which looked very uncomfortable to even sit on.

We made our way up the steps into his room.

I looked around and I honestly thought, "wow this looks like a room you would see out of a magazine."

There were white walls covering the smallish room.

A bed in the corner against the wall covered with white sheets.

A black desk with a bunch of equipment on it. And a couple of fan posters lining the walls.

I noticed Colby handing me one of his large t-shirts which I gladly took and changed in the bathroom connected to his room.

The shirt went to the middle of my thighs which I was kinda embarrassed of. But I sucked it up and went back into his room.

Colby was already half way asleep so I crawled in the spot beside him and got settled in.

I was about to fall asleep when I felt a warm arm wrap around my waist and pull me closer to his chest.

I could hear his heartbeat murmur in my ears.

Slowly drifting to sleep to the sound of his heartbeat.

Why can't it always be like this?
