Atheena's POV

I woke up at 6:30 am, to my alarm going off. The loud music in my ears, I get up without disturbing the sleepy Colby next to me. I made my way to my moms room like every weekday morning. After I woke her I went into my room and crawled back into bed within seconds I was engulfed in Colby's arms. I fell back to sleep until my second alarm went off, ugh now its my time to get up. I throw my blankets off me and head for the bathroom to change and do my make-up. When I was done I told my brother to go outside to wait for the bus. When I went in my room I seen a fully dressed Colby Brock, he was wearing my favorite outfit of his. (Picture above) "What do you think I forgot about walking you to school? I wouldn't let my girl ride a dirty bus with gross teenage boys." He says as he gets up from my bed when he finished tying his shoes.


"I was kinda hoping you would, just because the kids at my school are dicks." I say to him as I grab my bag which he took from me.


"Geez what do you have in here a brick." He says with a little laugh. 


"If I'm being honest probably." I say laughing with him, with that we walked out my door. As soon as we got outside Destin came and questioned us. We quickly walked away. As soon as we hit the sidewalk Colby grabbed my hand, intertwining our fingers. 

*5 Minutes later*

"I hope you have an amazing day." Colby says to me as he kisses the top of my forehead and we part ways me going into the high school and Colby going back towards my house. The second our hands part my heart dropped like I'd never see him again. Even though its only gonna be 8 hours and I did already spend a year without him. When I got into the school I was bombarded by my friend Josh. 

"Ooo who was that?" He asks me as we walk down the hallway

"Colby." I say with a smile on my face, it felt good to tell people about Colby.

"Really?" He asks in confusion 

"Yeah, we kinda started dating." I say in a voice I've never used in school because I thought people would judge me. As Josh walked away from me my smile dropped and once someone new came by it popped up and faded as they walked away. I ate breakfast with my friends in the middle school telling them all about my weekend and eventful Monday. After breakfast was my first hour, I was asked a bunch of questions. Which I was not ready for most of them.

"Does he really care about you?" One of the stupid guys asked and I just pushed it off because I am trying to be happy not overthink. But I know that question will come to haunt me later so for the first time ever I stood up.

"Hey yeah whoever just asked that would you mind if you minded your own business, I am happy with him and he is happy with me so please keep thoughts like that to yourself." I say then sit back down receiving a high five from another friend who was graduating this year.

"So give me the details why were you not here on Monday?" Lilly asked me 

"The doctors said I passed out from ''stress'" I tell her and Josh

"Oh my god what happen why did you pass out." She asks so I gave her the answer which took forever because I started with Friday and went through all of the events that happen until Sunday night. The whole day went pretty much the same but lunch was different then usual. Usually I sat next to my small group of friends, well not really friends I don't know if I really trust them but they talk to me so. Anyways today was different everyone was looking at me and talking, multiple times I've heard my name and Colby's. I've also heard Hoe and slut, once I hear those words I grab Colby's hoodie from around my waist and put it on I couldn't take it. As soon as I put his hoodie on and could smell him everyone's voice sounded as if from a far. It felt as if he was next to me helping me through everything. I got lost in my thought so lost I must have alarmed some people because when I came out of my thoughts I was being hugged. I didn't know who it was though, I got scared and pushed whoever it was off and ran into the bathroom and had one of my worse breakdowns.

"You worthless hoeYou deserve to diehe will never love youHe's just faking itKill yourself"  I don't know how to get my mind to shut up, I tried to think about everything I love and everyone I care about but that worsen it. The tears streaming down my face uncontrollably. "Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!" I kept saying shut up and each one became louder and louder. When I was about to scream the bathroom door opened and I just sat there waiting for someone to turn the corner.

"Hello is everything alright?" I heard a familiar voice say and as she turned the corner to reveal my favorite teacher Mrs. W, I went to her with everything. As she seen me she had a look of sorrow in her eyes, I got up and went to wash my face to get the eyeliner under control.

"I'm ok, just having a rough time." I say to her

"Why don't you come to my room and talk to me." She says and with that we went to her room. "So whats up? why were you crying?" she asks me 

"Because everything is so hard, I thought me being with him would make me happier but when I'm not around him I breakdown I either end up in the hospital or crying a bathroom." I say to her while my hands in my hair

"Who is he?" she asks

"You remember the guy I always told you about my celebrity crush, Colby Brock?" I say to her

"Yes."

"We are together." 

"Isn't that a good thing?" she asks me 

"Isn't it?" I ask because I don't know I know I love him but I can't be far from him "Why can't I be away from him?" I ask her hoping she would have an answer

"Atheena maybe your scared. Maybe somewhere in your mind you think that he won't come back or maybe that he won't be there when you go home." She says 

"I'm not scared." I say as I took a deep breath "I'm terrified, he is the love of my life I don't know where in life I would be with out him." I say to her

"Well where were you a year ago? Before him?" She asks me

"On  the verge of suicide." I tell her I've never told anyone that

"And where are you now?" She asks me

"Happy and complete." I say with a smile "Unless he isn't near me." I finish

"And what are you gonna do for the rest of your life follow him around like a psycho girlfriend." she says not trying to spare my feelings. I say nothing. "You need to talk to him and make sure he is staying because if he truly cares about you, you will know if he is gonna stay or leave." She finishes then the bell goes off.

"Thank you and I will talk to him tonight." I say as I run out the room to get my stuff for my next class.
