Bound To You

Chapter 13

"They see me rollin', they hatin'." I sang, grinning at Colton, who was watching me with an amused face.

"Eyes on the road. I'd like to live please." I rolled my eyes, moving them back to the road.

"This car is sexy." I say, tapping my fingers on the steering wheel.

"Yeah, it is." He smirked, looking like he wanted to say something else. I moved my eyes from him, back to the road again, turning the radio on.

"Ooh, I love this song!" I squealed like an overexcited teenager, and turned the volume up, ready to sing along. "I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones, enough to make my systems blow, welcome to the new age, to the new age, welcome to the new age, to the new age." I grinned happily.

Drive a sexy car and listen to one of my favorite bands? Yes please.

"You like Imagine Dragons?" Colton asked, a small smile on his face.

"Like them? I adore them!"

"Ever been to a concert?" He asked, turning slightly to face me.

"Yeah, once with a friend." I said, remembering the time Jayden had walked into my bedroom with two tickets to one of their concerts.

I had jumped him, I was so excited.

"Not a good memory?" Colton asked, noticing my change of moods.

"No, a good memory. Just a sad one." I replied.

"Do you want me to drive?" He asked, concern on his face. I smiled slightly, shaking my head.

"And give up driving this beauty? No thanks." He chuckled, looking happy that I wasn't depressed.

Oh, how little he knew.

"A-and there was this time he came outside with only his boxers on, screaming 'what year is it?'." I choked through my laughter, my shoulders shaking.

"How d-drunk was he?" Colton laughed, his face almost red from laughing.

And this is all thanks to my beloved brother.

"Definitely drunk off his ass, I can tell you that." Colton shook his head, his laughter dying down into a chuckle.

"You're brother sounds awesome." He commented.

"He is." I said, a smile on my face. "Do you have any siblings?" I asked, looking back up at Colton. "Besides Whitney?"

His eyes were now a shade darker; sadder.

"Colton?" I asked him, worried that I had hit a touchy subject.

"Hmm?" He snapped his head to me, his eyes glazed over.

"Are you ok?" He nodded, sighing as he scratched his arm.

"I had a sister. A younger one."

Had?

"She died in a car accident." He answered my unspoken question.

Oh.

"Colton, I'm so sorry." I babbled, guilt washing over me. I had obviously brought up a subject he isn't exactly fond of.

"No, it's ok." He said, shaking his head softly. "It happened the day after my mom and dad divorced. I knew she was angry with mom. After all, it was her that cheated." He said harshly, scowling at the table in front of him. "She said she was going for a drive with a couple of friends. I shouldn't have let her go. I knew something was up, but I didn't-." His voice cracked, and I automatically reached for his hand, giving it a tight squeeze.
