Colby's POV
It was hard seeing Julia like this. I couldn't put into words how scary it was thinking that she had killed herself in the bathroom.
Part of me knew she wouldn't do that, but the sparkle in her eyes was completely gone.
I knew she was struggling but the fear in her eyes when I finally broke into the bathroom was terrifying.
I had never seen her that scared.
There was a minute there when I thought I had lost her forever.
I thought she had finally mentally broken and that she wouldn't be able to be pulled out of the panic attack.
When she finally came to it, I felt so much relief I wanted to kiss her. I couldn't do that to her while she was in such a vulnerable state.
However, when our lips finally met it felt like no time had passed. The last four years were irrelevant and we were still madly in love.
None of the other girls I have been with since Julia have made me feel even close to the way she did.
Julia was special and I was never going to let her go again.
Of course, if she truly did want to leave I would let her, but I was going to fight for her. I would fight as hard as I could to show her how much I loved her.
"Ready?" I asked as she nodded, pulling her bag onto her shoulder. "Come on then." I said and opened the door, gesturing towards the hallway.
While I couldn't sleep last night, I texted Sam. I decided that I would need his help along with the other guys.
We were going to a cabin in Montana since it was in the middle nowhere and genuinely nobody knew about it.
Now that the tracker was out of Julia's leg, we could maybe find some safety.
"How much money are you leaving for the door?" Julia asked as I shrugged. "Two hundred?" I suggested as she nodded.
When we got down to the lobby I led the way to the front desk.
"Checking out?" The woman asked as I nodded. "There was a situation containing the bathroom door. Here is some money for the damages." I said and slid her two hundred dollar bills.
The woman looked angry but was instantly calmed by the charming smile I flashed her.
"Thank you, sir." She said then batted her lashes at me. "You're welcome. Ready, sweetheart?" I asked Julia as she nodded.
"We've got a long drive." I said and wrapped my arm around her waist, leading the way out of the hotel.
When we got to the car I took Julia's bag from her and put it in the backseat along with mine.
"You hungry?" I asked as we got in the car. "No." She said quietly, keeping her eyes down.
I knew that the past couple days have been a whirlwind and that my confession was really effecting her.
I knew it was a bold claim and I truly didn't know I meant it until I said it.
Before she came into my life again I tried desperately to forget about her since it was safer that way.
Having her back in my life meant that I wouldn't let her go again as easily.
"Wanna talk about what's bothering you?" I asked as I kept my eyes on the road.
"I'm just tired." Julia said quietly. "You can take a nap in the back seat if you want. I can stop and get some pillows and blankets." I suggested.
"Please stop." She said with a sigh. "Stop what?" I asked and glanced over at her.
