Tobin's POV:

"Hey Tobs, oh who's this?"

Oh crap, I forgot the fact that I have a roommate.

A gorgeous one at that.

I didn't even warn MK.

Dammit.

I hope she doesn't get too scared.

"Oh hey, Chris, this is Makayla I adopted her earlier". I said casually watching her face turn to shock instantly.

Makayla's breathing started increasing, so I held her hand, stroking her thumb. I guess she thought Press's shock was bad. Her breathing then calmed down and nearly was back to normal.

For the next 5 minutes, we managed to tell Chris what had happened.

She looked to be in thought for a second. "Um, Makayla is it alright if I talk to Tobin for a sec it isn't anything bad I promise".

Makayla nodded and sat on my bed while Christen took me outside the room and closed the door.

"Press what is it what's up"? She looked directly into my eyes.

"Tobs have you thought about how you two.."

I knew immediately where this was going, so I interrupted her.

Makayla's POV:

I haven't done anything wrong, have I?

I hope Tobin isn't in trouble because of me!

I don't know what it is, but I feel safe and feel like I can trust Tobin and if she trusts these people here then I can too as I trust her enough to keep me safe and I don't know why I feel like this after only just meeting her.

I was laid on Tobin's bed staring at the ceiling suddenly feeling the events of the long day hit me all at once to the point where all my energy went, and I quickly drifted off to sleep.

Christen's POV:

"Ok, Tobs I still think you need to tell her or find out for sure before it's too late".

She looked at me and sighed, knowing I was right.

"I know Chris".

Damn, her eyes are beautiful. Her just looking at me gives me butterflies I feel like a kid with their first crush apart from It feels like so much more. If only she knew how much liked her.

"I just want to wait a bit first". I nodded, and we walked back in to see Makayla asleep.

Tobin walked towards her bag, grabbing a shirt and a pair of shorts. She then made her way to Makayla and pulled the jersey off of her replacing it with the shirt. Then she took Makayla's jeans off and replaced them with her shorts.

Tobin looked at me "I don't want to make her uncomfortable when she wakes up knowing I removed her underwear and bra, so I'm leaving them". I smiled and once again got butterflies just from how caring and polite she is.

She then asked if I wanted to change first so I did and once I left the bathroom she then went and got changed as well.

She started putting two of the uncomfy wooden chairs together and put the seat cushions on one of the chairs.

"Tobs, what are you doing"?

She looked at me "Well I'm going to sleep on these chairs so you both can have a bed each". I couldn't believe she was going to sleep on two wooden chairs and let us both have a bed.

She turned out the lights, and she went and "laid" on them with her feet on either side resting on the floor with her back on the seats and her head on the pillows.

"Night Christen".

I was still stood there in shock until I decided to move until I ended up stood next to her.

"Tobs"

"Yeah?"

"Get up."

"Why?"

Sometimes I hated her kindness. She was too nice. She'd rather wake up in pain than us. I understood why she did it, but I couldn't let her do it.

"Just get up already".

She groaned and stood up from the contraption she had made.

"Okay, I'm up, now what?"

I grabbed her hands which, as I did, I felt sparks fly through my body as I did so, and I pulled her to my bed.

"Tobs get in the bed". I tried to be as strict as possible, hoping she would do what I said.

"Chris, it's fine. I don't mind sleeping on the chairs".

Omg, I hate her kindness so much.

"No, Tobs I don't care if you don't mind, I am telling that you are sleeping in my bed with me".

She nodded her head reluctantly and held the quilt back an got in facing towards me.

She was still holding the quilt, and as soon as I climbed in facing away from her, she placed it around me as well as putting her arm om my side since we were quite far from each other. She was at the back of the bed up to the wall, and I was close to the other edge trying not to fall off.

I needed to be close to her, so I shuffled back a bit to see how she reacted since I knew she was still awake as I know that it takes her a while to fall asleep after finding out in a previous camp when I woke up hearing her go somewhere which happened to be on the balcony outside where she told me that she struggles to sleep and being outside helps her.

As soon as I shuffled back closer to her, her arm wrapped entirely around me tightly and pulled me right into her.

Her head was resting on my shoulder so I could hear her breathing which surprised me as she was breathing calmly whereas mine was all over the place. I couldn't believe that I was cuddling with the biggest crush of my life. The person I was madly in love with. The person I wanted to marry and die with. The person I saw my future with. The person I was going to be falling asleep with tonight. If I can fall asleep, that is.

(This was my original end to the chapter but I wanted to continue writing so after this is just me winging it with no plan. It's already 1:40 am writing this sentence when I started typing up at about 12:50, and my 2hr and 28min playlist without ads has just finished on me. But I'm still going since I feel motivated, so I hope I can actually fall asleep for once)

It's been a long five minutes, and I still can't fall asleep knowing that Tobin is right behind me and also the fact that she has her head on my shoulder and her arm still wrapped tightly around me.

With how tight her arm is around me, I'm surprised she can't feel the speed of my heart that feels like it could actually take off with how fast it's going.

Or what if she can feel it?

Omg, she's going to think I'm weird now!

She's never going to talk to me again!

Suddenly I felt movement from behind me.

She's going to leave me!

I knew it!

Then her right arm was suddenly placed on the top of my head, and she started caressing my hair.

"Chris, are you okay?" She whispered, and her voice even whispered was calming.

Oh no, now what, I can't tell her I like her. I'm not ready to tell her, and she now has Makayla who she needs to take care of and be there for. Tobin can't be distracted by me when she needs to focus on Makayla.

I need to think of a lie.

Lie.

I can't lie to her; I care about her too much.

Okay, Chris, you can do this just tell her something else that's true.

"Um not really I'm sorry Tobs I didn't want to keep you awake".

She removed her arms from me. Making me think she was mad at me.

"Chris, look at me". I decided to do what she said to avoid her being any madder, so now we were on our sides facing each other.

"Chris, you can talk to me about anything, and you know it takes me a while to go to sleep anyway, so you didn't wake me. I've just been worried about you, you haven't gone to sleep, and you seemed to be breathing quickly, so I wanted to make sure you are okay. So what's wrong?"

I can't believe I thought Tobin was going to be mad at me. I'm such an idiot.

"Yeah, your right I'm sorry Tobs it's just that I'm still scared to go to sleep at night with what happened a year ago".

Tobin held eye contact as she brought her hand up to my face and placed it behind my ear while her thumb stroked away the tears I didn't know I was shedding. She continued to hold her hand there.

"Chris, I promise I won't let anything happen to you, and no one will hurt you while I'm here. I will protect you forever, no matter what life throws at me. I will do everything in life to make sure you are safe".

I was crying now with what Tobin said. She's making it really hard right now.

She turns on her back and holds her arm out, so I move closer to her and rest my head on her chest as she once again holds me tightly to her, keeping me safe. I ended up falling asleep quickly with two things in my mind.

I really am in love with you Tobin Powell Heath.

And I bet you don't even feel the same.
