Chapter 6

The car ride was silent and I was kind of glad, but when we reached the house Sam took the keys out of the ignition and turned around to face me in the back seat. Colby did the same and I just looked at them feeling my heart drop because I knew I would eventually have to speak to them. I know it might not seam like a big deal; you tell when someone is bullying you and then it gets solved. I wish it was that easy but unfortunately the world sometimes doesn't work as planned. I grunted in my throat and interrupted the silence while opening the car door and jumping out. As I reached the door I heard two more car doors shut followed by low mumbling. Grabbing the keys from my black with blue splatter paint lanyard that hanged from my neck, and turned the key and opened the door.

"Alright, spill it." Colby quickly said as he sat down on the cough.

Sam just sighed sitting on the lone chair. I groaned and moved next to Colby because he was patting the cushion next to him. It's a three seater but would be awkward fitting more than two.

"How long? For what? Who? And how can we help?" Sam questioned with a slight frown drawn on his lips.

"A couple weeks, I'm living with y'all, the Gems, and nothing" my eyes traced to the tan carpet on top of the hardwood. I heard them both grunt and I know they were annoyed.

"Why didn't you tell us sooner? We-we could have helped! This has gone on for too long" Colby exclaimed.

"Just drop it-" I say standing up, walking towards the stairs. He had to go and grab my wrist, I turn around and just stared at Colby. My God he's beautif- stop it!! I mentally slap myself, you can't like him! You'll be stuffed in a trash bag sinking in the ocean if you start to like him. I free my wrist and stroll upstairs and giving them a heads up I'm getting ready for bed, it's only 7 but I'm so ready to just lock the door and hide. I can hear them talking downstairs but I can't make out words, brushing it off I decide to wear something else tonight. Opening my drawer of pjs I flip through some spotting my white loose top and grey bottoms with pockets. I throw my clothes on and put my hair into my signature side fish tail braid.

KNOCK KNOCK. I jump at the sound as my door is being opened. I didn't really care who came in so I didn't bother looking and turned to my bed and walked over to it. As I flopped down on my queen bed stomach down, I grabbed my phone off the nightstand from charging.

"Hey, uh" I hear a deep rumble and instantly feel soothed. Colby.

"Hi" I answer him not making eye contact. He clicks the door shut and shuffles over to the bed, I feel him nudge my side so I roll over giving him space to lay down next to me.

"Are you ok?" He pondered

"Just exhausted" I reply putting my phone down on the unoccupied part of my bed. I turn to face him and I can feel my heart beat quicken instantly when I'm met with a bare chested Colby. I try to stop examining him and feel heat creep up on my cheeks. Averting my gaze to him only to see him slightly blushing too. Colby is laying on his side with an arm propping him up. I turn to face him mimicking his body language, our eyes meet and I can't get over how blue they are.

"You know, you can tell me what happened, don't worry I'm hear and I'll never leave."

His words echoed in my ears and my heart melted at his gesture, for some reason I was really compelled to tell him everything. So I did. He just stared at me and brought his hand up to my cheek cradling my face. His hand was firm but soft, his touch comforted me and I felt like I was getting lighter and lighter. I see his head turn to the side as he examines my lips then eyes, then back to my lips. My heartbeat quickened immensely and I was flooded with emotions when he leaned in. Noticing his eyes shut I shut mine to, his lips grazed mine teasing me before softly pressing them into mine. My world was spinning and I felt him shift so one of his hands were on my waist and the other holding my face. The kiss deepened and his touch hardened, my hands found their way onto his waist and chest. Our legs slowly intertwined and I was engulfed in a warm, comforting, safe sensation. We both pulled away and just stared into each others eyes. He grinned and it was infections because we were both giggling
