CHAPTER41; Kat was right.

a/n— hi so I used Maggie Lindemann's song "couple of kids" in this chapter, it's a good song, and I am just say that its Valaries song in this book, ok enjoy!!

The entire week that Colby was gone, I spent in the studio recording my first album. I had so many songs written already, and they all fit perfectly for the record. I had already released one song named "Things". I had written it about Colby the first week I met him, even know I didn't even know that I was going to be this in love with him.

"Can you sing that verse one more time?" Kat says, standing next to my producer, Dan. I look at her through the glass window and nod.

"Take me back to the night, we met in the yard
Climbing up to the roof, hidden in the dark
With a bottle of wine for two
Though I'm already drunk off you
Then we both fell asleep, underneath the stars." I sang, glancing over at them on the other side of the glass.

"That was perfect." Said Dan, smiling up and me but then messing with the controls. "Can you continue on with the next verse?" I nod.

"We're young and naïve, and you're telling me
That someday we'll run off together
I'm starting to think, I'm stuck in a dream
'Cause we're young, and we don't know better" I glance at Kat and she mouthed 'continue', so I kept singing.

"Now I'm falling heavily, recklessly
Trying not to lose my sensibility
But gravity, it pulls me into you
We're just a couple of kids
We're just a couple of kids
Sneaking out late for a kiss
'Cause we're just a couple of kids." I finished.

"That was so beautiful!" Kat said, very cheery. I smile and giggle at her. We kept recording until it got late. After we wrapped it up, Kat and I called an Uber to take us back to the apartments. "Val?" Kat called.

"Yeah?"

"That was about Colby wasn't it? That song?"

I stayed quiet for a minute. It was about Colby, of course it was about Colby. "Yeah." I breathe out, refusing to make eye contact with her.

"You're killing him, you know?" She says in a normal voice.

"How?" I ask, curiously. How could I be hurting him more than he's hurting me..

"Because Valarie, Hes so unbelievably and utterly in love with you and you don't see it. Just because he made one mistake doesn't mean that he doesn't care or love you any less. I'm not saying what he did was okay, because if Sam did that to me I would be livid pissed, but just look at you two V." She rambles, pausing to catch her breath. "You guys need each other, and I know both of you aren't dumb enough to throw that kind of love away." She said.

My eyes were already watered up at this point. I didn't know what to say, but all I knew is that she was right. "Wh-what do I do Katrina?" I whimper. She had no time to answer that question because we had gotten to the apartments.

We stayed quiet until we got to Sam and Colby's rooms. "I can't tell you what to do, V. Only you can decide what you want." She said, before hugging me and walking into Sams lonely apartment.

I watch her go in and shut the door before I turn around and enter mine and Colby's. Tears, still running down my eyes. I threw my keys on the counter and I went straight to the bathroom. I turned on the hot water of the shower, took off my clothing and got in. I didn't wash my hair or my body. I just sat there, doing nothing, expect for crying. I knew I had to do something about it.
