one night // colby brock

eighty eight | a little more hopeful

// A.N. I literally forgot how to breath for a moment when I saw that we hit 42k reads and 2k votes when I woke up this morning. I am speechless and can't thank you enough! Enjoy the chapter!❤

I apologise for the shitty content and lack of regular posting. I've had major writers block but that's no excuse, I'm trying my best and new chapters will be up and running soon.

Ronnie's POV

I stretched and groaned, feeling a little more hopeful than yesterday.

And the day before.

It has been 2 days since the whole Colby ordeal.

I've had time to think and I am hoping that we can fix something that isn't broken,

Just bent.

We can learn to love again.

The bed was supposed to arrive today but the door bell hasn't rung Aaron had told me before he left.

I slouched over to the ladders and unlocked the latch,

Letting the ladders fall to the floor.

I climbed down and the cold wooden floors stung my feet.

Maybe I should go check the room,

Just incase Aaron brought it upstairs earlier.

I don't know why but I felt compelled to look in the room.

As though if I didn't enter the room,

I would regret it later on.

As I came closer and closer to the door.

I heard clanging and banging.

Like a mechanic or robotic type of noise.

Metal falling on the floor.

I pushed open the door.

He came back.

Colby came back,

And he was sitting on the floor with his legs crossed.

A wooden frame gripped in his hand and the other wrapped around an electric drill.

His teeth bit down on his tongue and his eyes were set into a deep thought of concentration.

I came in quietly and sat down on the floor,

Making my arrival very clear at this point.

He dropped the drill and it made a loud bang,

Causing us both to jump,

"You scared me" Colby chuckled,

"Yeah, you scared me too" I said.

He frowned then stared at the floor,

"I'm sorry for leaving without warning. Sorry for leaving in general." He sighed, looking sincere,

"Colby. It's okay, no harm done" i choked out.

He placed my hands inbetween his and squeezed tightly,

"No it's not okay. I left when you needed me most and I don't think I can ever forgive myself for that. I hate arguing with you and it felt.. like a knife when you took that - ring off" he said intensely.

My biggest mistake that night,

Was letting my emotions take over me.

I never should of shouted at him.

He was trying to make up for his wrongs.

And I definitely should of never took that ring off,

"Colby, I want to marry you but I can't argue anymore. I just- can't keep going on like this. It's toxic" I sigh.

He nodded his head,

"100 percent agree with you, I love you." He cheered in thriump,

"Good because I love you too" i laughed at his stupidity.

His body flew forward and his arms wrapped around mine.

Warming me right to my core,

Right to my heart.

The heart that would always and only belong to him.

Only him.

My Colby.

My miracle.
