Chapter 6

Colton’s pov

I did the right thing by coming to Joslyn. She was here for me when I needed someone the most. That meant the world to me. I didn’t trust easily so for me to trust her meant a lot. I woke up with her in my arms. I could defiantly get used to this. I wanted to just stay in bed with her all day, but I needed to face reality. I got up and pulled and looked at Joslyn.

“Good morning where are you off too?”

“Colby’s family will be here within the hour, so I need to get home. I rather stay here with you, but I need to get things done.”

“I understand. I actually need to go check on Lacey and Neal.”

“I will call you later when I get a free moment.”

“Okay and Colton I am here for you.”

I gave her a kiss then left. She was amazing. I got home and hurried to shower then went to pick up Colby’s parents from the airport. Seeing them brought back so many memories.

I don’t know if I can say goodbye to him. He was the only family I had. He helped make me who I have become. I was angry, and always getting into trouble. I would probably be in jail, or dead now. I was a firefighter because of him. I owed him everything.

I took his parents to his house. We were packing everything up, so they could take it home with them. Everything that Colby was is going to fit in all these boxes. That is the harsh reality of life. I will never forget him. I won’t let him be nothing but these boxes. He deserves more than this.

Joslynn’s pov

I got the phone call I was waiting for. I finally been assigned to a job. I thought I would be working with Neal, but instead I would be working at Colton’s firehouse. I was worried about what he would think. I mean we aren’t really a couple yet, and now we will be seeing each other all the time.

Can we even still date now that we are working at the same fire house? I was starting to stress out. Tomorrow was my first day, and I had all these questions. I was nervous and excited. I couldn’t call Neal because he was healing. Lacey didn’t need any added stress. I wanted to talk to Colton, but he was busy.

I wish I could be there for him. He was taking Colby’s death very hard. I just hope he didn’t blame himself. It was not his fault. It was a mad man’s fault. I was worried that another fire would be started again soon.

Lacey was not happy that I would be working at a fire house. She was worried about me. I was a little scared with everything going on. I just had to put all of that out of my mind. This was an amazing opportunity.

I was not going to pass it up. I’m not giving my dreams up for anyone. I just hope that Colton will understand. He may not want to mix work with his personal life.

I don’t want to lose him because I care deeply for him, but I’ll understand if it is too much for him. Right now, he has to focus on what’s going on. He just lost his best friend. I doubt he wants to get all serious with me. I just don’t want to lose him. I mean waking up in his arms felt so right.

I sent him a text letting him know I was thinking about him then I laid down. Tomorrow would be a long crazy day, so I needed to get some sleep. My phone dinged with a message.

“I can’t stop thinking about you. You’re the only thought that is keeping me going babe. I miss you. I will talk to you soon. Xoxo. Colton.”

Seeing this made my heart skip a beat. Here he was going through hell, yet he still made time to let me know he cared. I loved him so much. I would not let my career get in the way of us. I wanted Colton, and I think he wants me too.
