Different Lives, Different Events

Chapter 11

Leah:

Today was the day I tell Colby what happened. But I don't know what he'll think of me or how he'll look at me. Maybe a coward, a weirdo or maybe he won't want to hang out anymore with me because of this. My mom hated me so much for moving, I saw in her eyes that she was broken and can never be fixed. I had to tell him, okay ready Leah, you can do this. "Hey Colby, I have to tell you something. Its about why I really moved to California. But before I tell you, I want you to know that I hope we can still be friends and you won't be afraid to hang out with me." I could see in his eyes that he was scared and his face was confused. Then he answered "Yeah sure. I promise you that nothing will change whatever has happened to you we can go through it together." The last part he was smiling and I started to cry, I just couldn't help it. We were sitting on a couch that was on the balcony, we were nothing sitting on the sides. After I said that and started to cry Colby came scooting over towards me and hugged me. And he was rubbing is hand on my back up and down. Saying its okay, when its really not. When I got done crying he didn't move back, just stared at me until I spoke. "When I used to live in Ohio. I had the best friends in the world, Grace and Zoie. Well one day I was driving them to the mall. Well a stupid semi driver rammed right into us and Grace wasn't wearing her seatbelt. So she went flying out of the car and me and Zoie didn't fly out. It took the ambulance like 5 minutes to get us. Grace was never found and they assumed that she was dead. Me and Zoie were in critical condition and we couldn't walk that good, but we healed really good. After we got out of the hospital, Graces funeral was the next week we got out. I went and I felt so bad about Grace dying and I feel like it's all my fault and I can't like make up for that. After the funeral I told Katy my decision and she wanted to go with me. So I told my mol and dad about what I was going to do and she was devastated. She cried and cried and I don't think she will ever understand why....why I left." As I was saying that I started to cry and think that I couldn't believe I just told my deepest secret to Colby. "Colby, listen to me I don't care what you think of me and if you don't want to be friends anymore and I would understand that. But I want you to know that even though I've met you and known you for a day, you...you actually made me happy for once and I want to say thank you."

Colby:

We went up to the balcony and sat and talked for a while. Then that's when it kinda got serious. Leah looked me right in the eye and was going to tell me the truth and why she moved to California. After she told me what happened, I felt like I was her actual best friend because she told me her deepest secret and I was afraid, afraid that she would think that we wouldn't be friends anymore.  But she got done telling me the story and I was amazed of how brave she was to tell me. She started to cry and I came over and gave her a much meaningful hug. After we got done hugging she looked at me with those beautiful eyes she has. We just stared at each other and then I just leaned in and kissed her. I couldn't help it.

Leah:

After I told him the story and after that I just kept crying and crying. I couldn't help it. He gave me a, what felt like a more meaningful hug. After we got done hugging each other he stared at me with his beautiful ocean blue eyes. We just kept on staring at each other. Then Colby leaned in and started to kiss me. I couldn't help it but kiss him back. Then we stopped missing and both of us were panting like we just got done running a marathon. Then Colby started to say something "Hey Leah. I've been meaning to tell you this, I know we just met but, you seem like to me that you are my life. Like you make me laugh, you make me feel alive and it feels like I've been hiding in the darkness this whole time until I met you. You brightened up me life again like nothing before." After what I just heard what Colby said my mouth had dropped and was mezmerized. Then it was my time to talk. "Okay actually I was going to tell you the same things. But different. Okay, ever since I've lost Grace I've felt like nothing in the world could bring me back to life and i felt like I was searching all these years to find somebody...somebody who knows how to make me laugh. I want to say thank you for making my day."

Colby:

We got done kissing and I had to tell her something. I was telling her how I felt when she was around. I got done telling her and her mouth just dropped. She suddenly spoke about the same thing I did. But I took what she said and put it somewhere,  where I can remember it. I wanted to ask her something but I don't know how she will react. "Leah, I have to ask you something." I was really nervous to ask her this. She looked at me and her eyes grew really big. "Yeah, what's up Colby?" Okay here goes nothing "I know we haven't really known each other for a long time. But I just feel like I can't live without you in my life. Now I'm not asking you to marry me, I'm only asking to be my girlfriend?" She looked at me and then smiled and gave me the answer "100% yes!" I was so happy and we hugged and hugged. She broke the hug by saying "Hey why don't we watch that movie!" I liked the idea. But I had to go and get her birthday present." Okay I love the idea but, I have to go and get something downstairs." I than ran downstairs to get it. I came running back upstairs and I could tell that she was tired. "Why are your eyes closed?" She didn't open her eyes but only looked in the direction of my voice. "I don't want to see what you are getting, it may be a surprise!" Wow she is good. "Fine,fine you got me. Happy Birthday!" She opened the box and her eyes were so big. I got her a bracelet with all the things she loved. In the bracelet was harry potter, and a lot of jewels with her favorite colors. Then there was a picture of all of us. And then she just started to cry, but not a lot. She looked at me and smiled and them gave me another hug. "How did you know all these things?" I had to answer "Katy and Corey helped me pick out the things that you would like." She just stared at me and then said "Thank you so much I love it!"
