YOUR POV

"colby, please just tell me who you were with." you begged him for the fifth time tonight. you caught colby coming out of somebody's house, whom you didn't know, and they kissed his cheek. it was a girl, and he admitted that to you, but he kept claiming it wasn't a situation like you thought it was. "like i said, she's one of my closest friends, from poland and in her family and friend group back there she's always kissing their cheeks as a goodbye." he explained.

you ran a hand through your hair, not knowing what to believe. "colby, i... i don't think i can believe you. sure, it's not every other guy's excuse i'll give you that one, but the fact that you let her do that just confuses me." you said, and he sighed. "y/n, she insisted on it the first time. she explained to me that it's kind of tradition in her family and stuff so she said it'd be weird for her if she didn't. so i let her the first time and from then on it just became her thing." you chuckled, feeling used and upset.

"all you had to tell me was that you wanted to see other people. i would've understood." you said back to him, and he furrowed his brows. "y/n this has nothing to do with me wanting to break up with you. she's seriously just a friend." his voice was soft, but stern. "okay, whatever you say. then explain to me why she sends you heart emojis when you guys text?" you retorted. he smiled a little to himself, "she's like that. she does it to all of her friends, including guys."

"at least give me her name." you demanded, in a kind way. "dominica." he spoke, and you just intertwined your own fingers together tightly. "i still can't believe you. i'm sorry but i've been through this too many times to believe it." colby's face was unreadable, but you could tell he felt a little offended. "y/n, i'm not like your past lovers. i'm me. i'm colby, and i wouldn't dream of being a douchebag like they were." you looked into his eyes, trying to search for some kind of reassurance.

"you say that. but what i saw proves otherwise." you whispered, but he heard it. you slowly walked into the closet and grabbed a big enough bag for everything that you had to fit inside of it. you calmly started to pull your shirts off of their hangers, before placing them inside of your travel bag. "y/n, no. you're not seriously leaving are you?" he asked, hurt laced around his words.

"yes. yes i am colby. i can't stay with a person that can't be truthful with me." you said, monotone evident in your voice. "but i'm not lying to you! y/n, please just talk to me and we can work this out." he begged of you, but again you didn't listen. your gut was telling you to leave, but your heart was saying to stay. you were always one to listen to your gut so, that's what you were doing. "why should i waste my time doing that?" you retorted.

"it's not a waste of time if you're getting the facts you want to know! i'm not lying to you, and in our past five months of this relationship i haven't lied to you! let alone counting our two years of friendship before that!" his voice said something to you, but your mind wouldn't let you figure it out. your gut kept telling you to get out, to run far away from him. and so you were. "colby, just stop. okay. look, this wasn't going to work out anyway. i should've never have trusted you."

you zipped up the bag and started to leave, but colby wasn't going to give up on you. he followed you quickly, and pulled your hand away as you reached the doorknob. "no! y/n, look at me!" he said and turned you around. you sighed and looked at him with tears in your eyes. "what?" you whimpered sadly as your lip started to quiver. "baby there is no need to cry. i promise you that i haven't done anything to betray your trust and i would never want to do that to you anyway."

his voice was sincere, genuine. it scared you to want to commit to him, for you didn't know what it meant to be committed to somebody. he slowly took the handles of your bag off your left shoulder, while focusing on your eyes. his eyes were worried, that you were going to leave him. "please just tell me the truth so this can be over with." you begged with a whisper.

colby decided it was time. time to tell you everything he had been wanting to for a while. how much you meant to him, and how he couldn't lose you. he took a deep breath, and nodded to you. a tear slipped down your face as you couldn't look him in the eyes as he spoke, you were too afraid of what he had to say. his heart was racing in his chest, and your heart was pounding against your chest cavity. you were both afraid, for different reasons.

"the truth is.." he took one more deep breath before continuing again, "is that i love you, y/n. i can't live without you. when i think about what your past guys did to you, i want to hurt them for it. seeing you so beaten up over how they treated you, it makes me want to shield you from everyone around us. i want you all to myself, and i don't want to share. you mean everything to me, why would i want to throw that away for somebody else?"

you looked up at him slowly, and he kept going. "i know it's hard for you to trust people, especially people who tell you that they want to have something special with you. people have broken you down to pieces in the past, and all i want to do is put you back together. i just want to see that smile of yours everyday, and be able to hold you whenever i feel like it. i want to kiss you just because i love how you taste, i want to feel you against me in times of passion..."

his eyes were brimming with tears at the words pouring from his mouth. "i want to run my hands over your naked body when we shower together or just sit in a bath, all because of how soft your skin is. i want to smile when i wake up in the morning just because i know you're there, and that you're getting more beautiful everyday. i need you to be there, because my heart yearns for you. i love you, so so much y/n, and this is me finally telling you that."

his eyes were bloodshot due to how much he was holding back his tears. you chocked on a sob before letting it go, and crashing into his chest. his arms flew around you as he held you close to him. "i love you too, c-colby." you whimpered to him, causing him to smile as a tear fell down his face. you pulled away after a few minutes, brushing the hair that was sticking to your wet cheeks away.

his thumbs flew to your cheeks as he wiped them off, making you look at him. he cupped your cheeks in his palms as he stared into your eyes. "now how many boys have told you that they love you, and meant it with their whole heart?" he asked, causing you to giggle. he smiled and leaned in, as you met him in the middle. your lips collided with love and passion, as one of his hands went down to your side. you both smiled into the kiss, happy to know that you have each other.

you both pulled away at the same time, causing it to make a noise. your foreheads were connected, before you opened your eyes and stared into his blue ones. "wow you're gorgeous.." he spoke to himself, causing you to smile and kiss him again out happiness. now you knew what it felt like to be committed, and you planned on staying with him for a long time... until death do you part.
