"Babe." I mumbled as Colby slept peacefully next to me. His arm was draped over my waist, which I wasn't mad about but I needed to go shower. Today we had to go to the police station so I could identify Daisy.

"Babyyyy." I sang then carefully turned over so I would be facing him.

I smiled at his sleeping face, since he looked so peaceful. His eyelashes were casting small shadows onto his cheeks as a slight smile played in his lips.

I watched him for just a second then put my hand on his cheek and kissed him. It only took a second for Colby to register what was happening since he pulled my waist closer to him as he grinned against my lips.

I pulled away then looked into his sleepy eyes. "We have to get ready, babe." I said quietly as I brushed his curly hair from his forehead.  "Five more minutes." He said with a gravely voice as I chuckled.

"I need to shower. If you want to sleep I can try and do it by myself." I said as he rubbed his eyes. "No, I'm up. I'm up." He said but wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer.

"You're doing a great job at being up." I said with a giggle then wrapped my arms around his neck, lacing my fingers through his hair.

"You're beautiful." Colby mumbled as he kissed my scar. "Shut up." I said with a laugh as I kissed his head then tried to roll out of bed.

Colby actually let me go so I could carefully get out of bed. I went to stand up but my chest was hurting a lot since I haven't gotten to take any pain killers today. "Can you hand me my pill bottle?" I asked and put my hand on my chest.

"Yeah." Colby said then stood up and grabbed the little orange bottle that was in my nightstand drawer. "This shit hurts." I mumbled as he poured a pill into my palm. "I'm sorry, baby." He said as I took the pill.

"It's okay, will you sit with me while I shower?" I asked as I grabbed my towel and a change of clothes. "Of course." He said then walked towards the bathroom.

When we got in there Colby sat on the ground leaning against the tub as I got in. "Can I just join you? We're late." He said with a laugh as I giggled. "If you want to." I said as I heard him pulling his clothes off.

When he got into the shower I giggled and handed him my shampoo. "Hi." I said as took it and smiled at me. "Hi." He said simply then leaned down and pressed a kiss on my lips.

I smiled and brought my hands to his cheeks. I could feel the butterflies in my stomach intensifying as he wrapped his arms around my waist, resting his hands on my ass.

"We can't." I mumbled against his lips as my chest ached. "Soon." Colby said as he pulled away and started washing his hair.

We finished up our shower then got ready for our trip to the police station. I'm would be lying if I said I was excited about going to identify Daisy. It still didn't feel real that she literally tried to kill me.

I couldn't really remember much from the interaction just before she shot me. I guess my brain decided I didn't need to know what happened.

When we pulled up to the police station Colby parked the car then looked at me. "Are you sure you're ready for this?" He asked as I chewed on my lip. "Not really." I mumbled as he leaned over a cupped my cheek.

"I'm right here with you. It's gonna be okay." He said as I nodded and reached for my door handle.

As I got out of the car I could feel the nerves picking up. I knew the stitches in my heart were mostly healed but I was scared they would rupture just by how fast my heart was beating.
