Home Soon (Sequel to What It Seems)

Chapter 14

"I just want to thank everyone for being here. We've come a long way and I wouldn't want to spend my New Years Eve with any other people." I said as we sat in the hotel room, waiting to leave for the party. I was so excited and in such a good mood that absolutely nothing could ruin this night. Me and Colson were getting along. Actually we haven't really left each others side since we got to New York. 

"We should leave now. If you want to get there before the ball drops." Jess said and we all followed her. The plans had changed for the performance but Colson was still gonna be on stage with me along with..well everyone else. I was performing a song that Kenzie helped me right after I met Colson. It was supposed to just be for fun but we changed some lyrics up and everyone liked it.

We walked into the building and we ran straight to the elevator to go to the roof. We drank some, danced, and I talked to some people, mostly famous people. There were a few fans that hung around me for a while, which I didn't mind. Jess was watching over me to make sure I didn't drink too much before I performed. 

It was 11:55 and I rushed around looking for Colson and the boys. I turned around and  bumped into someone. I looked up and saw all the boys laughing at me.

"Would you shut up and c'mon?! The balls dropping soon!" I grabbed Colson's hand and dragged him to where everyone else was so we could watch. 

"This is amazing. I never thought I'd be able to be here on New Years Eve. And the fact that I get to perform makes this experience ten times better." I said to Colson.

"I still don't get why you want me up there with you." I looked at him and crossed my arms.

"Don't play stupid Colson. I told you. I'm beyond happy you're with me tonight. I might even be yappy." he laughed and hugged me.

"You've been hanging around me too much." I laughed and checked the time. 11:59. 

The countdown started.

10, 9, 8...

Why was I thinking about kissing him when the ball dropped? All of a sudden.

7, 6, 5, 4...

I shouldn't be thinking like this...but it's only one kiss.

3, 2, 1...

I looked up and saw him leaning down. I felt his lips against mine and I didn't pull away. I honestly missed this so much. I felt a tapping on my shoulder and I could tell he was getting annoyed.

"You have to get ready!" Kenzie dragged me away backstage and I could feel her staring at me the whole time the make up artist got me ready.

I stood by the side of the stage and saw glitter all over. Ke$ha was on this song with me, so that wasn't surprising. I waved to her and Colson on the other side of the stage.  The music started and me and Ke$ha walked out.

Couldn't help it when we met,

I was playing hard to get.

But one look and that was it.

Now it doesn't matter.

Drinking wine on the cement,

Outside 7-11.

Fell in love on accident,

Now it doesn't matter.

Then everyone ran out on stage and it was like an explosion of glitter.

You got to me,

You saw through me,

You're in for it now.

You're all I wanna do

I only wanna dance with you 

Whatever I got to do.

I want you to myself tonight,

All right.

I only wanna dance with you.

After we finished the song, I ran to Colson, who had the twins with him, and jumped in his arms. This night was perfect.

The next morning

I woke up in the hotel room. I don't remember ever getting here. The last thing I remember was running to the bar after we got offstage. I was in my bed and was covered in glitter..and so was the bed. I tried standing up but fell right back down to the bed. 

"Fuck my head hurts.." Colson said as he walked into the room.

"I know the feeling right now." he sat down next to me. "Can we just lay in bed all day? I don't want to go anywhere.."

"Well we can't. We're flying back to Cleveland today. Go clean yourself up. I'll be waiting." I smiled and went to go take a shower. 

As I got ready after my shower, I thought about last night. I don't remember much, but I remember that kiss. I needed to talk to him when we got home.

I laid down in my bed. We were finally home and all I could do was lay there. I couldn't though. I had unpacking to do and kids to take care of. I sighed and unpacked my bags then went to unpack Allie and Colson's. I still didn't know when this talk was going to happen. But it needed to. I was confused as to what was going on with us. 

Me and Colson hadn't talked a lot since New York. I was dropping off Allie and Colson at my parents so we could  meet up somewhere to talk. I got them out and they ran in the house. I noticed the car was gone. The door was unlocked so someone had to be home.

"Hello?" I yelled. Josh came running downstairs.

"Oh..hey. I guess I'm watching the kids today." he said, avoiding something.

"Where's mom and dad?"

"They're...at the hospital.."

"WHAT?! AND NO ONE TOLD ME?!"

Calm down! They left right before you got here. Mom was going to call you once everything calmed down there."

"I don't care. I'm going to the hospital. Watch the twins for me." I ran out the car and hopped in. I sent Colson a text so he knew what was going on.

My dads in the hospital so I can't meet you. Please Colson...please come meet me at the hospital..I need you.

I sent the text and sped off to the hospital. When I ran in the lady at the front desk stopped me. She took one look at me and told me where they were. I ran to the elevator and went up to the floor they were on. Colson was already here. I ran to him and just hugged him.

"D-do you know what's wrong with him?"

"He..uh..had a heart attack. But he's having heart failure. He isn't getting enough blood and oxygen. You wanna see him? They said you can." I nodded and he walked with me to the room. I opened the door and saw no one but my mom and dad, and a doctor of course. No one moved when I walked in. My dad looked up and faintly smiled.

(Song: Only Wanna Dance With You // Ke$ha. I would like to say that I'm also having a hard time today because besides Kells, Ke$ha is also my everything. The only person I love as much as Kells. She's in rehab for an eating disorder and all I want is for her to get better. I won't go into details, but she doesn't deserve this. 28 more days until my Warrior is back <3)
