I smiled awkwardly "Danny!....." he walked up to me and put his hands on my cheeks and kissed me. I put my hands on his chest and pushed him away "What the fuck Danny" the mood in the room quickly changed from happy to serious. Colby's jaw was clenched and he looked pissed off "What's wrong?" "What do you mean what's wrong? You tell me to never talk to you again and then you just show up here" I said taking a step closer to Colby , Danny made me nervous. Danny scoffed "Oh I see....what is he your little boyfriend?" "No Danny he's not but I care very much about him and he's a better guy than you'll ever be" I ran up the stairs to my room, feeling threatened. I wasn't going to lie at this point I was a little scared of Danny. I hoped Colby would come after me.

Colby's POV
I started to go after Kelsey when I felt a hand on my chest stop me. "I got this one bro." I pushed his hand off "No you don't 'bro' because right now I doubt she wants to see you. You haven't been there for her like I have so I suggest you step out of the way." He had a smug look on his face but I think he was a little intimidated by me and stepped aside. I went up to Kelsey's room feeling heartbroken. "Kelsey..." I said softly opening her door. She was on her bed flipping through the polaroids we had taken on the trip. She was smiling sadly. She looked up to me, now just sad and worried, she started to cry. "Colby I'm so sorry I had no idea he was coming and I don't even know why he's here but I don't mean to hur-" she was rambling "shhh shh it's okay" I pulled her close to me and hugged her tightly. She buried her head into me and cried softly. She was so warm and comforting to me. I'd like to say I love her, but I think it's too soon. She pulled away. She looked at me and sniffled. It broke my heart to see her so sad. I put my hands on her cheeks and wiped away the tears. She smiled weakly. "I need to talk to Danny" she managed to get out. I nodded reluctantly. "Okay."

"Danny you hurt me how could I ever forgive what you did or what you said to me?" "Kelsey I was jealous okay, would you not have said the same thing?" I thought about it for a minute, and if I was being honest with myself maybe I would have. "I - I don't know okay. I was planning to officially break it off with you when I got back home and then you just show up like this out of the blue?" "I figured an apology was better in person than it was in a text message or over the phone." I sat on the bed and thought about everything, I felt like my head was going to explode. I have so much history here with Danny but Colby makes me light up he puts color into my life and makes me feel things I haven't felt in a long time. I sighed "I appreciate that." "I'm not going to force you into anything, but if I didn't love you and I didn't want to give it another try, why would I have flown all the way here" he had a point, either he was really good at lying or for the first time in his life he was actually sorry. "I guess" I shrugged, and sat down on the bed. "Just....something to think about." I've already thought about it and I don't like the answer I gave myself, I'm not sure how I'm going to tell Colby.

I sat on my bed crying with Colby sitting in my desk chair across from me. I was a mess to say the least. "Colby i- I'm not sure how to say this" I was really about to break this boys heart, one I cared so much about. He looked worried and sad, he knew what was coming. "I owe it to myself to give me and Danny's relationship another try" I wanted to stop the words from coming out of my mouth, I felt like I HAD to give Danny another try , I'm not sure why. Colby rested his face in his hands. "Please say something" I choked out. "What Kelsey , what do you want me to say? That I'm happy for you? That this is what I wanted?" I was silent. He stood up. "What about what we had in New Zealand. I know you felt it too." "I don't know what I felt." I said crying and basically yelling. He scoffed "You know what Kelsey, you deserve more but if you can't see that than I can't help you. I'm done"

 I'm done"

he turned and opened the door. "Colby wait ple-" he turned back and looked at me , his eyes were glossy "I said I'm done." He slammed the door shut. I don't know why I felt like this, why I was so upset. But I think I may have just ruined the best thing that had ever happened to me.
