As comfortable as I was next to Colby, I'm a night owl, and I decided to wash the dishes and clean up a bit while I had the chance. I tried to be as quiet as possible to not wake up Jon or Colby, so I took care of the dishes and the kitchen first. I started thinking about how these past few days have been and I couldn't help but smile at the thought of actually being happy for once. Actually being able to not worry about having someone poisoning your life, and yet I feel guilty, just a little bit. It's hardly been three days since Trent and I broke up and every night since then I've been with Colby.

'Is that wrong?'

'What's wrong is Trent cheating on me for our entire relationship, and still going out with that girl, Abby, the day after we broke up.'

'It's also my own fault, I always kind of knew, and I just let it happen. I'm an idiot.'

"I'm an idiot" I mumbled as I finished the last of the dishes and dried my hands. I guess I made a little too much noise because Colby woke up and walked over to me.

"Whatcha doing?" he wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his head on top of mine. Despite how long Trent and I were together, we weren't ever all cuddly like a normal couple would be, but with Colby it just felt right.

"Just cleaning while I have the chance."

"You need help?"

"Nah, but aren't you and Jon going to head back to the hotel?"

"You want me to leave?" he let me go and I turned back to face him.

"No, of course not, but I don't want to force you to stay."

"Then I won't leave" when he smiled it made me melt and to make things worse he took my breath away when he kissed my cheek. "So what do you have planned for tomorrow?" He let go and started to rummage through the fridge only to find it empty.

"First I have to go grocery shopping."

"Well let's go right now, I'm starving!" He snatched my keys off the island's counter.

"Hey! What are you doing?" He quickly headed towards the door and towards the car. "If you don't hurry up I'm leaving."

"So you're gonna jack my car? That's low Rollins!" I laughed as I grabbed my wallet, his hoodie, and hurried after him jumping into the passenger's seat.

I gave Colby directions to the closest grocery store and once we were inside, Colby got a cart a pushed it up and down the isles.

"It's barely gonna be eleven. I'd kill for some dessert" I threw things I knew my brother would need into the basket. Bread, ham, bacon, chicken strips, pasta, chips, Hot Pockets, cereal, milk, soda, just about everything he liked was thrown in.

"You sure that's enough?" he said sarcastically with a smile and I elbowed him in the side. "So what do you want for dessert?" We looked up and down the frozen isle trying to decide what to get.

I couldn't make up my mind until I saw my favorite dessert of all time, "Ooh, cheesecake!"

"Never tried it" Colby looked at it not sure what to make of it.

"What? You have to try it it's amazing!" I got two cheesecakes because knowing me, one won't be enough.

After Colby picked up a few things for himself, we headed to the checkout isle and after we paid, we headed back to the parking lot. Once we arrived back at my house we put everything in it's place in the kitchen and pantry.

"Thanks for helping out" I put the cheesecakes in the fridge to thaw.

"No problem" he smiled and I suddenly remembered what else I had on my to do list.

I went upstairs to my room and gathered some things I had to get rid of in a box and headed back down the steps carefully, because knowing me, I'd fall like a klutz.

"What's all this?" I set down the box on the counter and looked around for a lighter and some lighter fluid.

"Trent's stuff" I opened the glass door that led to the back yard and brought the box outside.

-Seth's POV-

I followed Vanessa to the backyard and it was a lot bigger than I originally expected. An in-ground pool lit up fading from blue to yellow to red and every color in between. She walked over to a large fire pit and started throwing in some shoes, shirts, and several photos from the box she carried out. "Not gonna have this stuff stinking up my house anymore" she started pouring a generous amount of lighter fluid on the pile.

"Pyromaniac" I joked and she threatened to pour some on me "I'm kidding!"

"Watch it Lopez, you're in my house remember?" She lit one photo with the lighter and threw it on the pile and in a flash, it all went up in flames. "It's about time I start over" she mumbled. She looked a little hurt as she watched it all burn but then looked at me with a mischievous smile.

"What?" knowing her she's up to something. 'She isn't about to push me into the pool is she?' "... You wouldn't."

-Vanessa's POV-

I pushed him as hard as I could and took off to avoid getting wet. I was on my knees laughing and on the brink of tears. "Real funny Vanessa!" he pulled himself up and rested his arms on the edge of the pool "Can you at least get me a towel?"

"Sure" I caught my breath and headed inside to grab a couple of clean and neatly folded towels from the laundry room. I laid one on a nearby lawn chair and handed the other one to Colby "Here ya go Rollins" and in the last instant he grabbed me by my wrist and pulled me into the water.

"Ha! Looks like we're even!" he laughed as I resurfaced, gasping for air.

"I really should've seen that coming" I struggled a bit to keep my head above water, but managed to reach the edge of the pool and we climbed out.

"Don't start something you can't finish" Colby gave me a smirk and I couldn't help but notice how his wet shirt now clung to his body.

Before he could notice me blush, I snatched up my towel and dried myself off. "Do you have an extra change of clothes?"

"Yeah, in my bag" I headed back inside to get another towel since Colby's was now floating along the water, and while I was at it, grabbed Colby's backpack.

I went back only to find Colby shirtless and dripping water everywhere. 'Is it just me or is it really hot out here?' I panicked and threw his backpack and towel at him "Here's your clothes! There's a shower upstairs" I grabbed my towel and darted back to my room to take a shower myself, so I could rinse off all the pool water and the smell of chlorine. After changing into a Nirvana tank top and skull print burnout shorts, I went back down stairs to see Colby had showered and dressed in his spare workout clothes.

I walked over to the fridge to grab a slice of cheesecake and sat down at the island with my plate and fork, only to have Colby sit next to me with a fork of his own as started taking bites out of my slice.

"Hey!"

"Hmm... this is actually pretty good" 'Duh! It's cheesecake!' "So now that you're done shopping, what are you doing tomorrow?" once the slice was gone, he cut another and put it on the plate for us to share.

"Nothing really, I'm not in a rush to get to Dallas." We took turns taking bites of the cake and taking more slices.

"You wanna go out tomorrow? It's ok if you're not up for it."

'Why do you keep doing this to me Colby? Why do you keep pulling me in?' I smiled "Sure. What do you have in mind?"
