S O U L M A T E || COLBY BROCK [COMPLETED]

Mia's POV

I get woken up by Joseph, i'm guessing he's in the living room. I look at the time and it's 9:30. I get up and see what's going on. Joseph is in his swing and I don't seem to see Sam or Alena. I grab Joseph and walk to her room, of course they're passed out on the bed.

I was supposed to stay with Colby, but lately we've been a little distant. Ever since we came back from seeing his parents, we haven't really been getting along. I'm hoping it's a little bump on the road for our relationship, i'm sure we'll get over it sooner or later. We still see each other, but we just make small talk. Sometimes I give him short answer and sometimes he does the same. I just haven't been myself lately.

Oh shit, it's my birthday today. I didn't really keep track since I don't care too much for it. I mean Alena reminds me, but I try to forget it. Holy crap, I can't believe i'm already 21, I can legally drink now, not like that will change anything.

Joseph was about three months old by now. I make faces at him, and he smiles back. I think he's starting to figure out who everyone is. I lay him on his stomach and I lay right next to him. I grab my phone and take pictures with him when we hear the front foor open. We both look up and it's Colby.

"Hi" I say.

"Hi" he closes the door and walks over to us, "happy birthday" he lays down with us and kisses my cheek.

"Thanks"

"Hi Joseph" he pushes Josephs hair back, "what have you two been up to?" he looks at me but I don't look at him.

"Nothing, Sam and Alena fell back asleep and left him out here"

"You want to go back to sleep? I'll take care of him for a bit"

"Nah, i'm fine"

"You sure?"

"Yeah, i'm fine"

We stay silent as we both just stare at Joseph. I can feel him staring at me every once in awhile, but I act as if I don't notice.

"Mia"

"What"

"Mia, look at me" I can hear the sympathy in his voice.

"What" I look up at him.

"Talk to me Mia"

"I am"

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, i'm fine"

"Ever since we came back, you've been stale"

"I know"

"Well tell me what's wrong"

"I don't know what's going on"

"How do you not know? It's your body"

That's it , i'm not comfortable with my body. I only I could tell him the truth.

"I don't know Colby"

"Mia"

"What!" I give him a harsh tone, "what" I lower my voice.

"Do you still want me to go with you to your parents house?"

"Yeah"

"Why?"

"What do you mean why? Everyone wants to see you"

His looked dissapointed in my answer. I know it's not what he wanted to hear, and I feel bad for saying it. I watch as he slowly gets up and sits at the bar by himself. I sit criss cross and silently stare at the floor.
