Colton's pov
"Tony, you mean the world to me but I just... I can't say those words yet. I don't even love myself. I hope you understand," I said with less tears than before.
"I fully understand, I'll be right back up okay?" he said and I nodded.
Tony's pov
I practically ran down the stairs almost falling multiple times down the second flight.
"Colton? is that you?" Vic called out.
"no, it's Tony. we're taking that girl with us on warped. she needs us."
"Tony? man, what are you talking about?" Jaime asked.
"she explained some stuff to me. she needs to meet as many of the bands she can. we're changing her for the better. but I told her I'd be right back up. she's still working on her room," I lied.
"okay, well we leave in a week. she was going to come anyway," mike said and I went back up the stairs.
"GOOD!" I yelled down.
I walked into Colton's room and she was asleep in her bed. I tucked her under her covers and kissed her forehead.
"will you stay with me?" she asked.
"of course," I said. she was already in shorts and her sports bra so I stripped down to my boxers and slipped into the bed with her. I wasn't tired yet so I just held her close and played with her hair until I fell asleep.
•next morning
Colton's pov
I woke up to voices and someone's arm wrapped tightly around me. I looked up to see Tony. oh Tony.
"when should she start packing?" I heard who I think was Jaime say.
"what?" I asked louder than I should've.
"oh you're awake. good morning love," Tony said and kissed my cheek.
"what?" Jaime asked rather loudly.
"shit," Tony muttered.
"I'm going to straighten this out okay? Jaime, Tony and I like each other and we're dating. and why the fuck am I packing?!" I explained.
"okay, keep quiet because you're a minor and I won't tell anyone. and you're packing for warped," Jaime said.
"really?! it's been my lifelong dream to go to warped!" I screamed.
"I'm glad we get to fulfill that," Tony said and hugged me. "we leave in a week."
"awesome! can one of you, or all of you, take me to hot topic? and then to the studio. I need to do a painting someone requested," I said.
"we can all go if you'd like," Tony said and Jaime nodded.
"sure. let me get ready!" I walked over to my wardrobe I pulled black ripped jeans, a SWS low side cut tank top, and a burgundy strapless bra. I walked into my bathroom and showered quickly then changed. I got out, did my hair, did my makeup and put on my burgundy vans.
"are you guys ready?" I asked walking down the stairs. I heard a chorus of yes's. we all made our way to Vic's car and they took me to the hot topic in the mall. I knew exactly what I was getting.
we all walked in and surprisingly no one was really there so we didn't get stopped or anything. but it was probably because it was a Monday morning and most people were at school. I asked for the thing I wanted and they brought it out immediately.
"here you go," the girl who had brought out the chalk board turntable out said.
"oh! thank you so much," I said and paid for it and the blurryface record. mike carried the actual turntable out to the car and I gave Vic the directions to the studio. we got there in about 15 minutes.
"hi..." no response. "curran? are you here?" I asked walking into the studio.
"oh yea! wait? COLTON?!" she asked running around the corner and tackled me into a hug.
"yea. it's me. I've brought friends well, I say friends. I live with them."
"OH MY GEE WAY!" she screamed.
"yea. mike adopted me yesterday," I said.
"ahhh that's awesome!"
"get to know them. I have a painting with a color scheme to make," I said and walked into a room with all my paints and canvases. I grabbed the right size canvas and all the blues, purples, and greens I had. whether it be spray paint, latex paint, or acrylic paint. I used it. I heard foot steps and turned to see Tony. of course.
"hey babe," I whispered and kissed his cheek.
"I wanna see you paint. I saw all the drawings you've done of band members. I really like the one of me by the way."
"oh. thanks." I walked out of the room and he followed me to a different more open room. "let me change real quick."
"okay," he said and I walked into the bathroom. I came back out and synced my phone to the speakers. I played my music and painted until I thought it was done. Tony just sat there watching me the entire time I was painting. every once and a while he'd sing to one of his own songs. but then 'hold on till may' came in and we sang that together because girl and boy parts.
"you have a beautiful voice."
"it still surprises me."
"why?" Tony asked.
"I scream as well," I laughed.
"I need to hear that one day," he laughed too.
"might as well," I said and moved the painting to where it could dry. I walked into the office and called the lady who requested the painting telling her it was done and she could pick it up tomorrow.
"Vic," I said and walked out.
"yes?" he asked.
"I'll need to come back tomorrow a little before noon. the lady will be coming to pick it up."
"ooooh can I see it?" Jaime asked.
"sure," I went to get it and they all just were amazed.
"that's awesome!" mike said.
"thank you," I spoke and took the painting back. then I realized Tony wasn't there. "tone? where you at?"
"I'm in here!" he spoke. he was in my display room.
"okay," I said and walked into the room with him.
"can I get one?" he asked.
"yea," I said. "if you pay," and I held out my hand. we both burst out laughing and the others came in.
