Colorado Sunsets

Chapter Three: Garrick

I could stay here with him forever.

As the sky darkens, my excitement grows rapidly as I realize that now we know we share feelings for eachother we can go home and cuddle!

"We should probably head back now." I say, excited to get home and cuddle properly, although we are cuddling right now.

"I guess we should, huh?" He says, I can hear his disappointment.

"Don't worry, we can continue when we get home." I reassure him, smirking.

"I like the sound of that." He says, smirking back.

I'm so excited!

We get back to the house after what seems like an eternity. We held hands in the car.

We walk through the door and head straight for the couch in the living room.

Robin lies down first, being a bit bigger than me, he gets situated, and invites me to join him.

He's really snuggly.

He takes a deep breath and squeezes me affectionately as I drift off into a deep sleep. Feeling protected by Robin's strong and passionate embrace.

I wake up to sunlight pooling into the living room. But, I'm alone on the couch...

He's probably making breakfast.

I walk to the kitchen, sleep decreasing my pace.

He isnt here...

I go downstairs, worry tugging on my heart. I see him lying in his bed, fast asleep.

Why is he down here, and not upstairs? Surely when he moved, it would've woken me up...?

I poke his shoulder, "Robin?" I say.

He grunts and rolls over to face me.

I woke him up.

"What?" He says tiredly.

"Why did you leave me on the couch?" I ask, feeling abandoned.

"What do you mean? Why were you on the couch?"

Did last night really happen...?

"After the sunset... We came home and cuddled... And fell asleep in eachothers arms..." I trail off.

"What are you talking about...? I'm not gay, Garrick." He scoffs and rolls back over to sleep.

Terror grips every inch of me. I've never felt this type of pain before.

IT HAPPENED, IT WAS REAL. I KNOW IT WAS.

The world seems to spin around me and I fall to the floor in desperation, silent tears streaming down my face. I want to scream, I want to make the pain stop. But before I can stand up, everything goes black.
