I woke up in a cold sweat. I looked to my side and saw Colby sleeping peacefully. It took a minute for me to realize that it was pouring outside, and a few seconds later there was a flash. And shortly after a noise followed behind. It was thunder storming. Great. I didn't want to wake Colby, but I knew that I was going to freak out soon.
As predicted, I started to have a panic attack. It started off not too bad. I was just breathing heavier than normal, and I gripped the bed sheets. I then started to feel my heart race as another strike of lightning hit the ground. I jumped as the thunder hit shortly afterward.
A few minutes later, I heard rustling from beside me. Great, I woke up Colby. Colby turned towards me and asked what I was doing up so early. I didn't want to tell him, I have no idea why, but I felt ashamed. His girlfriend is afraid of a thunderstorm, how pathetic. That's what was going through my head when another jolt of lightning hit the ground and the rain started coming down harder.
I didn't want Colby to hear me cry, so I stayed silent. "Baby, what's wrong?" I turned towards him and snuggled up close. He saw that I was crying and wiped away my tears. "I'm sorry" I finally spoke up. "Why princess?" I paused for a moment, contemplating if I should really tell him. He interlocked our fingers and squeezed my hand for reassurance. "I hate thunderstorms..." I said sighing.
Colby looked down at me and told me there was nothing to be sorry for, and that I couldn't help being afraid of something. That's one of the things I love about my sweet baby boy. He is so caring and gentle. He makes me feel safe. He looked at his phone and the time read 5:38. He got out of bed and started getting dressed. "Where are you going?" I asked. He just smiled and told me to stay here and to be awake when he came back.
I heard him run downstairs and what I think to be him grabbing his car keys. Then I hear his car start and drive out of the driveway.
About twenty minutes later I heard the gate open and a car pull in. I looked out the window and it was Colby. He had a bag in his hand. He came upstairs and sat back down on the bed.
"Where did you go?" I asked. "Well since its thunder storming, and you don't like them, we could just stay up and watch Netflix and eat snacks." The blue eyes boy smiled at me.
He is actually the best boyfriend ever. I smiled back at him and kissed him.
"I love you, Colby" I told him. "I love you too baby "
