Ocean Eyes

Moonlight

I looked out of the car window as Colby got out of the car and ran around to open my door for me, he held out his hand to help me out of the car. I took his hand and stepped onto the loose dirt under my feet. He shut the passengers door behind me and walked in front of me admiring the view of the beautiful waterfall in front of us, the crystal blue water twinkled in the moons light, the soft sound of the water falling was so soothing, the breeze was soft and relaxing. 

Colby turned around to look at me, his eyes glistened with happiness and relaxation, I could tell that this place meant a lot to him. His smile warmed my heart, I smiled back at him and walked over to stand by his side "wow it's amazing" i said in disbelief looking at the calm water, "that is not the best bit" he said taking my hand and turning me to face him, he then turned back around and crouched down "hop on" he said nodding his head for me jump on, "I will break your back" I said laughing, he turned his head to look me in the eyes, it looked as if he was sad "please" he whispered turning his head back around. I giggled and jumped on his back wrapping my arms around his neck.

I was resting my head on his fluffy blue hair as he walked down a path, his hair smelt of coconut and his neck smelt of aftershave. I placed my chin on his shoulder and looked at all the plants around us, it was beautiful. I turned my head to look at Colby his eyes were so unique, his lips looked so fluffy and his jawline was bold. All of a sudden he stopped walking and turned his head to look at me, he giggled at me because I was staring at him, "you like what  you see?" he asked putting me down on the floor, I laughed and walked by his side "maybe" I said cheekily smirking at him.

He rolled his eyes playfully and took my hand, he led me a little further down the path until we reached the entrance to a cave, I looked up at Colby "you are not gonna kill me are you?" he shook his head as he laughed "don't be silly y/n i would never hurt you, just follow me" he walked towards the entrance of the cave and pulled out his phone from his pocket to use the torch.

We walked through a small dark tunnel. i could see a glimpse of light ahead as Colby continued to lead me. 

We reached the end of the now light tunnel, we were behind the waterfall. I gasped at the beautiful sight, the waterfall slowly poured down from the waterfall, the occasional splash of water would hit my skin, the walls were covered in ivy and colourful flowers, there was two big rocks in the middle of the floor. Colby  walked over to one rock and sat down so I followed and sat on the rock opposite him. "This is my safe place, it is where I feel safe, it is where I come to get away from everything. It is my little secret" he said looking at the floor the whole time fiddling with his sleeves, "No one else knows about this place not even Sam" he looked up as tears began to form in his eyes, I stood up and sat next to him, he was looking at the floor as I gently placed my hand on his cheek and turned his face to look at me, tears were now streaming down his face, my heart sunk at the sight of him crying. I rolled the sleeve on my hoodie up and wiped away his tears. 

He looked me in the eyes the whole time "Colby. What's wrong? Talk to me please" I said holding his cheek in my hand. "I hate that I can't tell you the whole truth, but it's also that my dad was rushed to hospital yesterday.." he took a deep breath in and opened his mouth to speak again but before he could say anything I pulled him into a hug and wrapped my arms around his neck, he wrapped his arms around me and rested his head on my shoulder as he cried out, small whimpers left his lips, he let go of me and sat back up as I pulled away from him and looked at him. He wiped his tears with his sleeve "he had a heart attack and I need to be with him but Sam and I have to film that YouTube challenge video" he said looking at me "Colby, Sam is your best friend and I know that Sam 100% wouldn't care if you filmed the video another time, this is serious Colby. Sam would be freaking out if you told him what you just said, your family matters more than a YouTube video" I said grabbing his hand to comfort him, he nodded his head and smiled at me but I could tell that he was upset.

We sat there in silence for a minuet just holding hands and appreciating the quiet. "Colby can i ask you a question?" I asked breaking the silence, he didn't respond he just nodded, "why did you bring me here, I am grateful that you did but why me? If even Sam doesn't know about it why did you tell me?" he sat there in silence staring at the ground, I just continued to look at him waiting for an answer, his eyes were slightly puffy from crying. He turned his head to look at me and he took a deep breath and sat up straight and turned his body to face me, he pulled both of his sleeves up so that he could fiddle with them, he sighed before looking me in the eyes "when I talk to you i get butterflies in my stomach, and when I am with you I feel something I have never felt before, I feel happy and when you were hanging out with that dipshit i got so jealous and I didn't know why, but now I do. I think I love you" he said looking away, but I grabbed his head and turned it back to face me, "Colby I feel the exact same way" his eyes lit up with happiness as I said that, tears started to form in my eyes I was so happy, I finally knew how he felt I finally knew that he liked me too.

He smiled at me "really?" he asked excitedly, "yes Colby, I think I love you too. I have never felt so safe in someones arms before" I sighed out smiling, his smile grew bigger. He pulled me into him as we kissed.

-Time Skip-

We walked back to the car and both pulled on our seat belts. We were about to drive off when Colby's phone rang "Hey dude whatsup?" Colby asked, I could tell it was Sam from the way he greeted them. His smile dropped as Sam spoke on the phone, "wait what, please tell me your joking. Okay I'm on my way" he said hanging up the phone and starting the car. "What has happened?" I asked looking at him. "It is Kat...."
