Ronnie's POV

"Ronnie" I heard echo through my mind.

My whole body ached and my head throbbed.

I opened my eyes to the a beautiful pink sky.

I couldn't tell if it was a sunrise or a sunset.

I turned to my right to see Aaron standing there in confusion,

"What are you doing out here? It's 6 in the morning" he questioned, kneeling down beside me,

"I watched the sun set last night and i must of fell asleep" I lied standing up.

I groaned as my body stretched.

I didn't like feeling weak so I figured o would pretend it was a mistake.

I didn't want him to know that it was because i had ran after Colby then cried myself to sleep.

Aaron gave me the look,

The "I don't believe you but I'm not going to say anything" look.

Aaron sighed and picked up his bag, grabbing the handle,

"The door is locked" Aaron questioned,

"Yeah wouldn't you lock it if you where going outside?" I said, adding to my lie,

"Yes and I would bring a key so where is yours?" He asked with a smug look.

I just realised that I had no pockets and there was no keys in my hand or on the floor.

Busted,

"You got me" I sighed with a chuckle of defeat.

Aaron laughed along with me then reached into his pocket,

Grabbing his set of keys and unlocking the door.

I felt as though I was going to freeze,

It was such a relief to be back inside,

"So how was your flight?" I asked Aaron as we headed to the staircase.

We would always do this once he got back from a trip or when one of us had been gone a while.

Have a catch up on the front landing while lying on the floor,

Weird.

Believe me I know but it's our thing.

My throat always got really dry in the morning when I first wake up.

Been that way since I was a kid,

"Hey you go ahead, im going to grab some water. You want anything?" I shout to him as I walk back down the stairs,

"No I'm good, im away to call my Mom about picking up buddy tomorrow so don't rush!" He shouted back and I heard his door close.

I jogged down the stairs and into the kitchen.

It felt good to have company again.

It felt good to think of something else rather than Colby,

I really needed to speak about something else rather than Colby.

I grabbed my water from the fridge but as soon as I was about to leave the room,

I see out of the corner of my eye.

A napkin, a pen and a set of keys.

I was intrigued.

I wasn't mine.

Aaron headed straight up stairs so it wasn't him.

It had to be Colby.

I feared to look at the makeshift note but I pushed that aside and picked it up.

I had to read it,

I mean who wouldn't?

Ronnie,

I'm sorry for walking out and not saying goodbye, I didn't want to cause you more pain than what you were already in. I need some time to withdraw from us and I need to take my mind off of you because the though of losing you is unbearable. I understand that what we have is over but if you change your mind, call me and I'll be right over. I love you forever and always,

Colby
♡

I started to cry.

We weren't over.

I didn't want us to be.

I never told him that we were.

He thinks we are over.

We are not over,

I refuse for this to be the end.

I told him that I was his and I intend to keep my promise.

I had to fix this.

I had to fix this now.
