Colby's POV

"Hey girls?" I say as I enter the pool area where they were all sitting.

There heads all turned to face me beside Ronnie who was facing down at her feet.

Kicking around and splashing her feet in the water,

"Can I talk to Ronnie for a minute?" I ask hoping that they won't girl power against me.

They agreed and wandered off into the house to help with preparations.

We were having a party tonight.

A big party.

We were celebrating Elton hitting 1 million on his TFIL channel.

And Elton likes to go big so we are going big.

I wanted everything to be sorted with Ronnie before this party.

We needed to talk.

I crouched down and sat on the edge of the pool with her.

Crossing my legs and gripping the pool tiles,

"Are you okay?" I ask.

She continued to stay silent and stare into the pool,

"I worry about you. I mean I never stopped I just- it's hard seeing you down. You were always the one to make me happy and it pains me that I can't be that person for you.." I trail off.

Feeling relief that I got what I had to say off my chest.

She wasn't talking and it didn't seem like she was going to anytime soon.

I sighed, stood up and started the silent walk back to the door,

"I saw him, Colby".

I stopped in my tracks and turned back around.

Him.

I knew exactly who she meant.

Even if Aaron didn't tell me what had happened.

I knew and I would always know.

I wished that she could forget about him and I wished the same for me,

"You didn't actually see him, Ronnie. You were dreaming, it wasn't real" I say as I lean up against the wall of the house,

"It felt real. It used to happen alot when I was in Chicago.. when I was alone, all the time. I was so lonely, Colby" she choked and I rushed over to her.

Crouching down once again and hugging her,

"I wish I would have protected you that day. I should of never invited her and I'm so sorry for that i-" I said, remembering everything I did wrong but was quickly cut off,

"Sydney's actions were nothing to do with you, it was her mind and her obsession" she said emphasising what she was saying with each word that left her lips,

"It was my actions though. If i never invited her, we would be married" I blurt out.

I could never bring myself to say it but I did.

Ronnie pulled back from me and stared at me.

She nodded her head,

"Well at least one of us said it" she sighed, face palming,

"Look, I know you don't want to rush in and pick up were we left off but you are putting distance between us. I was also in love, in love with you and I won't just let that go",

"Just promise me that you will stick around and try with me.." I say, feeling exhausted.

She nodded her head vigorously and hugged me tightly,

"I know I distance myself from you and I know you were also apart of this relationship.. it's just hard getting back up and started again, just be patient okay?" She whispers into my ear,

"Okay, I promise".
