Colby-

The next morning, I got up and met Kat for breakfast. I met her at the hotel restaurant. I smiled at her and kissed her cheek.

"I apologized", I said when I sat down.

"She told me", she said.

"So why'd you want to meet?", I asked.

"I want you to leave Cora alone", she said.

I sighed and sat back.

"She's like a little sister to me, they both are, please Colby", she said.

I rubbed my chin and sat up.

"I can't", I said.

They set our food down.

"Kat, I like this girl", I said.

"That's what you always say, then when I ask about her you shrug your shoulders and say we broke up", she replied.

"This girl is different Kat. She calls me on my shit and god I can't stop thinking about her, ever since I bumped into her at the airport", I said.

Kat looked at me surprised.

"You really do like Cora, but you don't even know her", she said.

"Then help me", I said.

She sighed.

"Don't make me regret this Colby. If I lose Jesse over this I'm kicking your ass", she said.

I smiled and nodded.

"So how's your wrestling hobby going?", she asked.

"It's not a hobby", I mumbled.

She giggled.

"Whatever you say", she said smiling.

"You should come down, bring your guy with you", I said.

"When?", she asked.

"In two weeks. I have the Invitational tournament, it's in Indiana", I said.

"I'll talk to Jesse, he likes wrestling", she said.

"Maybe bring his sisters?", I asked.

She nodded.

"We will see", she smiled.

I took a bite of my food. She looked up at me.

"You know that Luke Bryan concert is tonight, you should go check it out", she said.

"Why?", I asked.

She gave me a look.

"You're helping me now?", I asked.

"Not helping. I was just letting you know about the concert", she said, winking at me.

"I might check it out", I nodded.

Cora-

We were getting ready to go to the concert. Trina and Kat decided they wanted to see Luke Bryan, snagging two more tickets for them.

"Okay, please be careful and call us if you need us", my mom said.

Chris ignored her. I looked at my mom.

"We're old enough to know and take care of ourselves", I said.

"I know I'm just being a mom, it's what we do", she said.

I nodded.

"Have fun", she said.

"We will", Kat said.

My dad went up to Chris.

"Joe's been doing good", he said.

"I wouldn't know now would I", she said.

"Christina", he sighed.

"Stop, I have to go", she said, walking towards the front door.

"We'll be back later", Trina said.

My parents nodded. Jesse went to comfort my dad. We walked out and got in our car. Getting to the concert, Chris went straight towards the drinks and got a beer, chugging it.

"Woah, slow down Chris", I said.

Trina and Kat knew about the whole Joe situation. Trina lowered Chris's cup.

"Okay, how about you stay sober enough to enjoy the concert", she said to Chris.

We were dancing and singing along. I felt someone's hand on my lower back. I went to move it away, when I turned and saw Colby. He smiled.

"Are you stalking me now?", I asked.

"Maybe or maybe I like Luke Bryan", he shrugged.

"Leave me alone", I said.

He removed his hand from my back and looked hurt. Chris nudged me, I leaned in close to her.

"Cora, be nice to him", she said.

"Why? He's annoying", I said.

"Your mouth says one thing, but the look you gave him says another", she said.

He stuffed his hands into his pockets and watched the concert. I did feel slightly bad. I bumped him with my hip. He glanced at me from the corner of his eye and smiled.

"You said to leave you alone", he said.

"My sister told me to apologize to you for being such a bitch. So, I'm sorry", I said.

"Does this mean you like me?", he asked.

"It means I can stand you", I said.

"Well I like you, probably more than I should", he admitted.

"I'm just not looking for a relationship", I said.

He looked down at me.

"With me?", he asked.

"With anyone, it's just, its complicated", I said.

"Can we be friends?", he asked.

I twirled a strand of hair between my fingers.

"Why?", I asked.

"Honestly, there's just something about you that keeps pulling me in", he said.

"I'm not a very good friend", I said.

"That's okay, neither am I", he smiled.

I laughed.

"So what do you say?", he asked.

"Fine, but don't get mad at me when this blows up in your face", I said.

Chris had another drink in her hand. I tried to pull it away.

"Chris, you don't need this", I said.

"Cora, relax", she said.

I knew I shouldn't let her drink, especially seeing as our mother was an alcoholic. Kat noticed too and tried to pull it away.

"Let me have fun, when do I ever get to do this", she said.

I sighed.

"Is everything okay with your sister?", he asked.

"Um, fine", I said.

"Want to dance?", he asked.

I looked at him. I shook my head no.

"Come on, it won't hurt", he said.

He took my hand and pulled me close. His other hand was on my lower back holding me in place. His forehead rested against mine. My heart was beating so fast I thought it would jump out of my chest.

"How long are you in town for?", he asked.

"Two more days", I said.

A sad look in his eyes.

"If I asked you to stay a little longer", he said.

"I can't", I replied.

"I understand", he said sadly.

Once the song ended, I pulled away.

"Can we hang out tomorrow?", he asked.

"Colby", I sighed.

He stopped me.

"I just want to get to know you, bring your sister and I'll bring my friend", he said.

"I'll talk to my sister, at the rate she's going with those drinks I doubt she might want to go out", I said.

He chuckled. I looked at Chris worried.

"Are you sure she's okay?", he asked again.

"I don't know anymore", I mumbled to myself.

Kat came to stand beside me.

"I think we should go get something to eat", she said.

I nodded. Trina was holding onto Chris.

"I can walk", she said.

"Okay", Trina said, letting her go.

Chris almost tipped over, but Colby caught her. She looked at him and smiled.

"Hey its you. Look Cora, its your husband", she said laughing.

Colby looked at me and raised a brow.

"Don't listen to her, she's drunk", I said.

"Tell me more Chris", he said to her.

"She's the best sister anyone could ask for, she never left my side even after I was cancer free", she slurred.

"Chris stop talking", I said.

"Why? I'm just letting him know how much I love you", she said.

Chris looked at him and he smiled.

"You hurt my sister and I'm kicking your ass", she said to him.

"Noted", he nodded.

"You're cute, but not as cute as Joe", she said.

"Joe? Your boyfriend?", he asked.

"No, he's an asshole but I love him", she said.

"I'm sure he loves you too", he said.

"No he doesn't", she shook her head no.

"Yes he does, he's hurting just as bad as you are", I said to her.

"Then where is he Cora, huh? Why didn't he come after me?", she yelled.

"Why didn't you go find him?", I asked her.

"He broke us up, not me", Chris yelled.

"They made him", I yelled back.

"He didn't have to listen", she yelled.

"Then you'd be dead right now", I yelled.

"Cora", Colby raised his voice.

"You don't know anything about this, so stay out of it", I said to him.

"Your sister is drunk and she's venting, leave her be", he said.

I was about to say something back.

"That's enough", Colby said.

I looked at him and the look he gave me told me to shut up. I continued walking.
