Sweet dreams

I had gotten home around 8, my mom still wasn't home and it wasn't strange as of late because or her meetings. She was special to our kind and I'm guessing they need her for special things. I get upstairs and sit on my bed, I sigh in frustration as I put my hands through my hair. I then felt a presence next to me.
"Hey Colby." I say as I look up and see him with a concerned face. He rubbed my back as I look back down at the ground.
"What's wrong." He asked
"We can't find Amanda anywhere." I say as I get up, for some reason I had this feeling I should be moving. I take off my shoes and throw them at the closet. I take my jacket throwing it at the wall, making a picture fall down with it. I felt anger raging through my body, I needed to punch the wall. Before I could do that Colby appeared in front of me and grabbed my arm. It made me calm, I looked at him and felt sadness. I broke down in tears, I dropped into Colby's arms. He held me rubbing my back as we sat in the floor of my bedroom.
"You're letting this thing get to your head Clem, you gotta fight it." Colby says to me.
"I can't, when I don't even know what it's doing to me." I say as I raise up from his chest. I was sitting in between his legs sitting with my legs crisscross. He put his hands on my thighs, I looked him deep in his blue eyes and I felt safe. I always have with Colby no matter what situations.
"Listen Clem, before I died... me and brennen got in a fight. I know heath told you but I wanna tell you my side." He says, I could feel his nervous breathing on my face but I didn't mind. I was interested in his story and about this Ashley girl.
"Who's Ashley." I asked as I looked down at his lips and then back up at his eyes.
"I met her at a party, she was everything i asked for. Then brennen met her and he claimed her. Something I wasn't happy about because he took the one thing I cherished away. I thought he was my best friend, I swear we would grow together. After about few months I walked in on Ashley cheating on me with brennen just right after I thought I won her over. I stood there with roses in my hands and chocolates for her as I watched her freak out trying to cover herself up with brennen laughing." Colby says and looks away from me the whole story. I put my arms around his waist and hug him. My face was against his chest while he put his arms around my shoulders and rested his cheek on my head.
"Do you know what happened to Ashley." I asked as I pulled away.
"She's still with brennen... I found out she also made a deal with the demon to be just like him." Colby says as a tear rolls down his face but I wipe it off before it rolls off his face.
"If she loved you from the start, she wouldn't have treated you like that." I tell him with a smile that made him smile.
"It's hard to believe brennen went this far." Colby says
    "I will help you, whatever it takes. I will give you answers." I say
    "I just don't understand why it's back." He says. We then sat in silence, I was playing with my hands. I usually do that when I'm nervous. Colby grabs my hands making me look at him with confusion.
    "What's wrong." He asked
    "What do you mean." I say looking at my wall. Where the picture of me and my dad once was before I knocked it down.
    "Do you have questions that need to be answered." Colby said looking at the wall and then back at me.
    "Why did my dad leave." I asked still looking at that blank wall.
    "Clem, look at me." Colby says grabbing my face with both hands making me look at him.
    "If you loved you He wouldn't have treated you the way he did." He says and then kisses my forehead. I felt the love from Colby, he was so handsome. I had no idea why he would care so much.
    "I care because you're special." Colby said
    "Damn, I forgot you can do that." I say making us both giggle as our foreheads touched. We looked at each other, then I looked at his lips. I wanted to kiss him but I was scared. He seemed to be nervous also, maybe it was something I didn't read in the book of guardian angels. 
    "Go take a shower and get ready for bed clem." He says to me as he slowly backs away, my eyes followed him in every movement. He sticks out his hand for me to grab, I take it and he helps me up. I walk over to where I threw my jacket moving it to reveal the picture of my dad and me. I was sitting on the swing set at the park and he was pushing me, I had the biggest smile on my face. I felt Colby's hand on my shoulder as I put the picture back up. I was 6 when my dad left, I hardly have memories with him but this picture made me have an idea what he did for me before he left.
    I turn around into Colby's arm and just latched onto him. He was surprised at first but he hugged back. I felt safe in his arms, I know for fact guardians are supposed to protect you, not make you feel. Colby was special, he made me feel okay when everything isn't, he has this power over me that makes me want to be alive.
"I'll see where your mom is while you take a shower." Colby says and he disappeared. I sigh and get my pajamas, a pair of black shorts and white crop top. I get a quick shower and leave my hair wet as I walk out of my room, my white shirt was getting wet from my wet hair. I sit in the middle of my bed crisscross waiting for Colby to come back, I started to play some ed sheeran in that back.
"She's not coming home until 5 in the morning." Colby says as he sits next to me on the bed. I put my head on his shoulder.
"Stay with me?" I asked as I look at him.
"Of course I will." He says I lay down and just looked back at me, but not at my face. He was staring at my chest. He didn't know I noticed so I slapped him on the arm.
"Sorry." He says looking away blushing like crazy.
"Just come keep my warm as I sleep." I tell him as I drag him down with me. He covers me up and let's me cuddle into his safe arms. We stayed like that for a good twenty minutes, I was almost asleep when I hear Colby say something.
"I love you more the ashley, I promise to protect you at all cost." He kisses my cheek and turns off the light. Let's just say I didn't have a nightmare or woke up in the middle of the night.
