Anxiety and Adventures (A Colby Brock fanfic)

24

Colby came back, looking around like he was looking for someone. "Where's Brennen?" "He said he had to edit the Brolby video," I replied. " Oh, so Sam isn't coming back. It's just gonna be me and you," I smile. I enjoy being with Colby. So Sam and Kat not being here didn't bother me. "So. Tell me more about Brennan," I say. He thinks about it for a minute. "he is a bigger fuckboy than me and gets whatever girl he wants. Why do you ask?" He has that jealous tone in his voice again. And I feel like it will be a recurring thing. "he asked for my number. That's all. Nothing different from anyone else." "Okay, well did you enjoy the party," he asked. I say "of course" and walk over didn't give him a hug thanking him. he said it wasn't a problem and that I really needed. Which I did I'm not going to lie. Meeting all those amazing people made me feel loved. Because I lacked that for many years. I pull away from our hug when I get a text, it was just Corey sending his trial text. Now I was tired of standing so I decide to sit on the kitchen counter. "You think you can just sit on our counter like you live here?" Colby asked pretending to be mad. I nod and say "well I did clean it." He walks over to me and sets his hands on either side of my thighs. "Still," he picks me up and puts me back on the floor. "You don't live here." His hands remain on my waist and he does the same thing he did at my house. Where he gets close, looks at my lips then at my eyes, "if you want something, ask." I tell him. Maybe he wants a kiss, or maybe he just wants to get me in bed. "What makes you think I want something?" "I was just saying if you want something ask." He still remains really close. I just have the sudden urge to kiss this boy. I have since day one. "Can we go somewhere?"

~Colby's pov~
She is so beautiful. I took a step closer to her, looking at her lips then  her eyes. I really, really wanted to kiss her. Tell her that I wanted her to be mine. "If you want something, ask." She says out of nowhere. Does she want me to kiss her? Maybe I should ask, but I chicken out. "What makes you think I want something?" You can tell she got nervous and embarrassed at the same time. "I was just saying, if you want something ask." I remain where I am standing, now she is doing what I was doing. And she ask "can we go somewhere?" I wondered where she wanted to go this late. "Where," I asked. "drive toward the warehouse, I'll tell you when to stop." I smile and she does the same. "Let's go then," I say. I grabbed my keys, we head down to my car, and start driving.

~my pov~
while we drove I play my 'everyday favorites' on Spotify. I wanted to go to the bridge. The one I wanted to jump off of a month-and-a-half ago. When we come up to it I tell him to pull over. "Here?" He asked confused. "Yes." I say and he pulls the car over. I get out and walk to the middle of the bridge. I look down and it's a pretty far drop. it looks completely different at night than it does during the day. The trees on the side are a midnight black and the moon above shine on the running water, making it look like stars. "So why are we here?" He asked once he reached me. I continue to look out and realize what I was going to tell him. I was going to tell him about the bullying, the beatings I've dealt with, and the dream I had the night I almost died. What this place was going to save me from. "I wanted to come here because this is the place where I was going to come and end my life." I start. He looks at me and then at the water. He didn't say anything so I continue to talk. "I thought of this place as peaceful and full of happiness. That was when I was always sad but making sure I had the fake smile. I was dealing with bullying and getting beat up by my own father." I take a step closer to him, "Then I met you." He looks at me, tears filling his eyes. "You brought happiness into my life. God gave me my best friend. And without you, that night you saved me. If you weren't there, and if I would had survived the next day. I would have come to this bridge and jumped." I'm starting to cry now too. "I wanted to come here, to be honest about everything, to the person that I trust most." So we sat on that bridge. I told him everything. I told him about every beating, every word that was said to me by Shea and other people. Then we talked about the dream I had the night he saved me. The only thing about that, that I didn't tell him was that he said I love you.
