After I got home from school, I noticed that nobody was home yet. I thought that was weird, I walked inside and the place was basically empty. Except there were some things that looked the same. I went up to my room and everything was still there. My parents were gone. I didn't know what to do. So I called Colson. He answered "hey" I could hear lots of background noises, sounded like he was at a party. "It's Camila, are you around?" I spoke trying to hide the tears. "Camila, are you ok? Sounds like you are crying." I paused for a second then spoke. "No...everything's not ok.." I finally let the tears out. "I'll be right there." He said but I didn't want him to come here and see the empty house, the last thing I wanted was to show others. "No. can we meet some where else?" I wanted for his answer. "Sure, I know a place by my house, I'll text you the address." I said okay and we ended the call. I got the address right away and drove there.
He was already there. I walked inside the building no one else was there it was just us. "Hey what's wrong?" He sounded so concerned. "I'm alone..." I cried. He shook his head. "No, you are not alone. You have me, I'm here." He hugged me, I laid my head on his shoulder. "What happened? Did someone say something to you?" He said. "No...my parents left..I got home and they were gone..." I wiped the tears from my eyes. "How could they do that? You're their child!" He sounded like he actually cared. Did he actually care? "Look I guess it's just you and I against the world. We can take on anything." That made me smile. Just me and him. "That's the smile I like to see." He said and held my hand.
After a couple hours he got a phone call. "I'm sorry, it's my brother." He stood up to take the call. I couldn't hear what he was saying but it looked like he was pretty pissed. The call ended. "Sorry about that." He sat back down. "Everything ok?" He nodded "yeah everything's fine. You wanna get some food?" He said changing the subject. "Sure." He stood back up and I followed him. He held my hand out the door.
We spent another night together. Just talking, I felt like he was my safe place. He actually listened to everything I said. I don't know what it is about this guy but i could trust him.
We were laying on the floor at his house. My head on his chest, his hand in mine. "So when can I take you on that date?" He said as he intertwined our fingers. "I haven't been asked on any date yet." I said smirking. He laughed softly "Will you Camila Cabello go on a date with me?" I sat up and he looked me in the eyes. I leaned in like I was about to kiss him but I didn't. "I'll think about it." I whispered. "Nice." He laughed. I smiled and laid my head back down and soon we both fell asleep.
