Forever Yours (A Collin Walsh Fanfic)

Chapter One

(Delilah's Pov)

I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off,groaning I grabbed my phone and dismissed the alarm.I got up from my bed feeling the the cold Philadelphia air inside my small apartment.I got up to take a shower making sure I had the water hot enough and stepped in making sure to wash my hair and body.

After about twenty minutes in the shower,I turned the water off and stepped out wrapping a towel around me.Once I was dry enough to put clothes on,I walked back out into my room and over to the closet.I put on an Iron Maiden t shirt,tucked into a pair of blue jean shorts and put on a pair of old, beat up black Chuck Taylors. I put on a little make up on and then looked at the clock to see I was late for work.

"Shit!"I yelled grabbing my keys and penny board rushing outside.

I locked the door and put my penny board down ,I got on the board and rolled away.As I pushed the board through the crowded sidewalk I felt the breeze of the Philly air through my pastel blue and white hair and I smiled but it soon dropped when I saw the small record shop I work at and my boss,Damien,standing out front laughing.I was super confused as I saw my boss looking at me and laughing.

"Um...Damien,why are you laughing?"I asked,my face turning red and my blue hair falling in my face.

Damien looked at me with a big smile and said "Just the fact that your late is funny because you usually are never late."

I just rolled my eyes and laughed my fake laugh,I'm not a huge fan of Damien because he usually hits on me while we're supposed to be working.After we finally started working,I started sorting through all the records. Alphabetizing and putting records away was usually my job because Damien doesn't think he should do anything just because he owns the business even though he hates it here.I heard the front door's overhead bell ring and I turned to see a boy with brown hair and hazel eyes looking at me and I smiled shyly.He walked over to me making him smile wider and I blushed as he did so.

"Hey,I'm Collin,Collin Walsh.Do you think you could help me find some good tunes to listen to?"Collin asked me still smiling at me.

"Yes,of virtue. I'm Delilah by the way,Delilah Brighton."I answered and Collin gave me a huge smile.

"It's nice to meet you Delilah."Collin said his smile bigger now.

I smiled back and leafed through the records and said to him "I have break in forty five minutes.Do you want to have lunch with me?"

Collin smiled and nodded "Sure. I'll pay for it."

*Forty Five Minutes Later*

Collin and I walked out of the shop,as I walked by Damien I saw him glaring at us.I hid in Collin's side to hide from my boss' evil stare and Collin looked at me with concern.I gave him the 'I'll tell you later' look and he seemed to under stand.We walked out of sight of the record shop until Collin broke the silence.

"So what was going on back there?"Collin asked me and I looked up at him.

"My boss was glaring at us."I said sadly.

"Were you not supposed to go on break?"He asked and I shook my head.

"No,he has a huge crush on me and he's hit on me while working,he's basically really jealous.Hopefully I still have a job when I get back."I said laughing making Collin chuckle.

"Well,he could do worse things."Collin said through his laughter.

Collin continued to laugh and I blushed really bright him laugh more.We walked into a diner and sat down in one of the classic red vinyl booths.Collin looked over at me every now and then but I don't know if i should find that really sweet or really weird.Finally a waitress came to take our order and was really flirting with Collin and I almost gagged,twice.The waitress gave me a glare when it was my turn to order food and was really rude about it.

"What are you ordering?" She said as if I was interrupting her precious flirting.

"Fine,I'll have the pancakes with a coke and a waitress with a better attitude towards other women and does her job instead of trying to get a fucking hookup from a good looking customer."I responded sassily and the waitress took down my order and walked away with a red face.

Collin looked at me impressed with how I handled the wenchy waitress and said "I take it you don't take crap from anyone who is rude to you." I looked at him and laughed nodding my head in response.

"Hell yeah,you think I'm going to let some prissy waitress with a boob job and bleached hair treat me like shit?Fuck no,I was a waitress back in my small home town and we were taught to be respectful,even if customers were being assholes."I responded with a small smile.

Collin smiled at me and said "What do you like to do?Hobby wise I mean."I smiled and thought about it for a minute.

"Well,I love photography,drawing,listening to music,I also play drums and sing,I also run a photography blog and read books,a lot. I've always wanted my own bookshop."I said with a huge smile.

"Could we use you as a photographer for our band?We need an experienced photographer for our tour coming up but you can decline if you want to."Collin said smiling.

I smiled back and then said "Sure,that would be really amazing honestly,it will be better than what Damien is paying me because he's been underpaying me."

Collin looked at me curiously but didn't push any further so I just chatted mindlessly with him.

"But its better than living with my dad.He was a real hard alcoholic and druggy."I said and Collin looked at me with sadness filled his hazel eyes and I gave him a small smile.

*An Hour Later*

After our food came and we ate it all,Collin paid our food which we fought about the bill playfully but he won the argument.I ended up leaving a small tip for the evil waitress then we left the diner so I could get back to work.As we were walking back to the record store I had a lot of questions on my mind that I guess Collin noticed.

"Whats on your mind?"Collin asked me and I looked up at him.

"I have a few questions on my mind as well as a few fears.I'm just worried about my boss at the record store and what he'll do because he doesn't do the work. I'm left to do everything for that store,including paying the bills for the building which is taken out of my paycheck."I said as the record store came into view.

"Well,as you have said about this job that your in right now.I would honestly take the job our band is giving you.You will do better financially."Collin said giving me a kind smile.

I nodded and asked as I gave him my phone so he could put his phone number in "So when are we all going on tour?"

As he was entering his phone number,Collin said "Well,you can drive over to my apartment and stay with me and my brother Aiden but you should drive out Monday so that way it'll be easier to load all of us onto the bus."I nodded as he handed me my phone back.

"Okay,I'll start packing tonight because I only bring a few pieces of my photography equipment, I take photos,then do all my editing on a crappy laptop that I have.At least it works and it was cheap which I'm grateful for."I said laughing and Collin smiled at me.

"Well,I should head back and let you get back to work but just in case you want someone to talk to just text or call me."he said and I smiled.

"Thank you Collin it was very nice to meet you."I said with a smile.

He turned to walk away then it occurred to me that I had no idea what his band is so I called put to him "Collin wait!"

Collin turned to look at me and I yelled out "Whats the name of your band!"

He smiled then yelled back "Its called Grayscale!" Then he waved and turned around walking away then I couldn't see him anymore.

I smiled at myself a little then turned and walked back into the record shop to return to work until the end of the day.
