•Kathryn's POV•
Colby and I were in a hug at 4 a.m. He just had a nightmare. I wish he would tell me what happened, but if he doesn't want to, I understand. What was so bad? What did he mean by I'll never loose him? All other things that could've happened..

"Colby..you ready to go back to sleep?" I asked as he gave me another kiss on the head.
He nodded, still looking worried, "Yeah, but..uh...Kathryn?"

"Yeah?" We made eye contact and he held my hands.
He was speaking through his eyes and his mouth at the same time, "I'm going to be honest with you...I..I'm scared."

My heart dropped. My hand went to his cheek, "You're not the only one Colby."

"You're scared? You look so confident about your plan. Not saying it won't work but, you don't look scared at all." He explained, holding onto my hand.
I giggled a little, "I'm not just scared. I'm terrified."

Colby's look he gave me; he looked confused but so sad at the same time.

I continued, "I know what Jake's capable of and it's terrifying. But there's one thing I do know.."
"What's that?" He asked.
I smiled, "I have you. We get through every together and I know we'll get through this."

"I love you Kathryn. I love you so much." He teared up and pushed his lips against mine. Our lips intertwined for a while until he stopped and smiled at me.

He showed his white teeth, "I'm ready to go to bed now."
I giggled and we laid down. We snuggled up to each other. Me in his arms. So comforting. I bet it was for Colby too. He went to sleep peacefully, holding onto me. Our bodies were together and it was amazing. I felt so safe. Jake couldn't hurt us...
I hope.
•~•~•~•~•~•

I woke up at 7 a.m for some reason. My emotions hit me all at once and I just started to tear up. To be honest, I don't know why but at the same time, I do.
One thing I do know is that it's because of Jake.

Before I could finishing thinking, I ran into the bathroom, and shut and locked the door. Slowly, I slid down the wall on my back. I put my hand on my face and wiped away the tears.

What if my plan doesn't work? Colby's dream. He dreamed about us. I know he did. About the plan.
You'll never loose me... That's what he said. The only way I'd loose him is if...he died. Oh my god. That's what he dreamed about. Jake killed him in his dream...and...

I stopped thinking and balled. And damn I cry load.

"Are you okay? Who's in there?" It was Sam.
I sucked it up, "It's me Sam."

"Kathryn?" He asked confused. "What's going on? Open the door."

I stood up, unlocked the door, then sat back down up against the wall. Sam walked in and sat down next to me.
He looked at me concerned yet worried, "What's wrong?"

I teared up again, "What if the plan doesn't work Sam? What if someone gets hurt or worse? I'm scared."

"Kathryn look at me," he ordered nicely and I did. He continued, "Your plan WILL work. We'll show Jake that he can't bother you anymore. Colby won't let anything happen to you, to any of us. Me, Elton, Aaron and Corey will protect everyone involved in the plan, besides the enemy of course. But I know we can do this. Yes, it's scary. Trust me. I know but, we can do this. I believe in us. I believe in you and your plan. We got this Kathryn."

I smiled at him. Still, tears rolling down my face. He gave me faith. Sam is suck a good friend.
I nodded and gulped. Sam pulled me into a hug.

When we released the hug he said, "Now go on. You'll sleep and Colby needs you too."
I smiled again, "Thanks Sam."

We grinned and walked back into his room. I walked back into Colby's.

I snuggled back to him as I got under the covers. He comforted me. Sam was right. Colby needs me but I think I need him more than he needs me. He gives me strength. Our love is strength. We make each other stronger.
Soon, I fell asleep in Colby's warm arms.
