The Little Sister (Sam Golbach&Colby Brock)

Part 16

Mara's P.O.V

'What are you doing here?' I snapped, slamming my bag on the couch.

'Sam called and told me you were getting out of the hospital today and I needed to come and see you' He spoke.

'So after two weeks of absolutely nothing, no calls and no texts, you suddenly decide you wanna act like you care? Save the bullshit for someone else' I started walking away but he followed after me, and I turned around to see Brennan, Sam, Elton and Corey all stood behind him.

'Okay seriously guys? Did you all plan some sort of intervention behind my back as this is what its starting to feel like' I asked.

'Look, just here him out, and then if you decide you still want him to go then he will. Just give him 5 minutes' Sam demanded.

'Jesus Colby, I didn't know it was possible to talk without opening your mouth, but clearly it is'.

They all ignored my sarcastic comment.

'I never stopped caring. You need to know that. I left because I thought I was doing the right thing. But having to be without you these past two weeks has made me realise that we are the right thing. You and me. No matter how hard either of us try we can never fully move on from each other' Colby and the guys continued to follow me up the stairs.

'Go home Colby'.

'No, not until you hear me out. I'm not leaving you again. No matter how badly you try to push me away, I'm staying'.

'Do you not understand that even seeing you is hard? That all I want to do right now is run and give you a hug but I know that I can't because I don't want to be with someone who is gonna run away every time the slightest thing goes wrong' I stopped in my doorway and turned to face them.

'Look, I admit that I have been a dick and I have treated you like you meant nothing to me. I wasn't there for you when you needed me because running away was so much easier than sticking around to watch everything blow up in my face. My entire life I have always felt like their was something missing, but when I'm with you I don't feel like that anymore. Everything I have ever needed or wanted is stood right in front of me. And I realise that now. I'm not leaving or running away from this again. I will fight every second of the day and do whatever it takes, no matter how long it takes, to fix this between us. Just know that you can't push me away. I love you Mara. And I know that you love me. I won't rest until I have you back. You can go if you like, you can slam this bedroom door in my face, tell me you hate me and that you never wanna see me again, I don't care. But, just know, that when you are ready, I will be here, waiting for you. As you are the only person I love and the only person I see a future with'.

'Damn bro, can I get that all in writing so that next time and Devin argue I can use that speech?' Corey laughed but was hit lightly by Elton so quickly stopped talking.

'Please, just forgive me' He begged.

For a moment I just stood there, staring at him.

I rushed over and gave him a hug, both of us crying.

He placed a kiss on my lips before Sam interrupted, 'Okay I think thats enough of that, who wants take out'.

We all laughed and followed him downstairs.

Sitting around this table with people who I've come to call my family made me realise that life is too short to hold grudges and argue.

Watching them all laughing as I sat on Colby's lap as they played fornite whilst eating pizza, having Colby kiss my cheek and whisper in my ear that he loves me, made me realise that all I have ever wanted was stood right in front of me.

Because if you spend too much time arguing and fighting, you'll miss what is right in front of you.

I don't know what's in the future for me and Colby, or even if we will last forever.

All I do know is that no matter what happens and no matter where this road takes us, a piece of me will always belong to him.

For Colby Brock is the love of my life.
