Between The Two

I Would Feel Better...

I snap out of my gaze only to fall into another when I feel Zac's fingertips run across my cheek. I feel both him and I moving closer to each other, the space between us becoming less by the minute. I see his eyes close, as mine are in the midst of closing. Our lips brush, and I find myself resting my hand on the nape of his neck, about to kiss him when I hear a knock on the door.

My eyes flash open, and I legit jump off of him, forgetting to be gentle since he's wounded. He grunts in pain, and I quickly whisper "Sorry, see you soon" as I rush my way to the door. I open the door and step aside to let the person who knocked come in. I expect a nurse to walk in, so I smile before I see the face of the person. My smile quickly fades when I realize it's Theo.

I step out behind the door, now standing completely in front of him. He doesn't make a move to step inside, nor do I make a move to step outside. "I was going to talk to Zac..." Theo mumbles as he scratches the back of his neck as his eyes drift behind me, probably to Zac. His eyes then lift back to me as he says, "But I think I need to talk to you instead."

I look back at Zac with a worried expression, as he looks back at me blankly. He doesn't know Theo like I do, and he won't want to after this. As Theo drags me down the hallway all
I can help but think of is; How I can't ever let that happen between Zac and I again, even if it was just an "almost kiss."

Theo and I pass our hospital room, and I yank on his arm to go backwards. "What are you doing? We passed our room," I say waiting for him to turn his head to face me. His head turns and his eyes meet mine. "I'm not going to talk to you about this in front of that little fuckboy's brother." He says turning his head, immediately beginning to pull me behind him once again.

"He's not a fuckboy.." I say hesitantly. Truth be told, I don't really know if Zac is one or not, so I shouldn't be sticking up for him..But he didn't do anything to me that would make me think of him as one. Theo interrupts my thoughts as he once again turns around to face me. "You don't know him Camila, and I don't want you to trying to get to know him. He is a fuckboy."

As he talks to me, I keep my eyes focused on the wall to my right instead of him. Maybe he is right about Zac. I wiggle my hand free from Theo's. "Okay." I say flat out, not showing any emotion. "What?" Theo says raising his eyebrows. "I said okay. If he's a fuckboy, then okay." I say still not showing emotion. "Camila, you can't just accept the fact tha-" I cut him off angrily, and let out a deep breathe. "Theodore yes I can. If I don't want to date him I can accept the fact he's a fuckboy." Theo nods his head in response, "I understand now."

With that, I turn away from him and run back to the hospital room. "I'm going to get something to eat," Theo shouts behind me, but I just keep walking. I'm way too caught up in my thoughts, my head is spinning with them. How could I be so silly to almost kiss Zac? I like Colton anyways, and I want him to like me too. That's what I need to focus on.

I slide back into our hospital room, to find Colton changing his shirt. My eyes are glued to his abs as Colton turns around to face me. "Hey Camila," he says holding his shirt in his hands, no longer trying to put it on. I look up to greet him, "Hey Colton," I say smiling while looking at his wide grin.

"How are you feeling?" I say making my way towards him. "Great, how about you?" He says placing his right hand on my shoulder as he still holds his shirt in his opposite hand. "I feel better," I say looking into his eyes. "I would feel better if I could do something.." I say biting my lip as I continue looking into his eyes. "What would you like to do?" He says now moving closer to me. "This," I respond.
