256 Baggage

Tala 

Colin is at my door. 

Colin has always been the one person who could away read me and that is why I had avoided him all those years. Now he knows, now everyone knows, so I do the one thing I can do now that I can have a relationship with my best friend. 

I run into his arms. 

At first, I feel him stiffen from the obvious shock of what I am doing. He didn't expect that and I don't blame him, out of everyone in my life, he is the one that I have treated like shit. 

I would gaslight him into thinking he was doing too much. I made him feel bad about his absence after Roman's death even though I was kinda glad he wasn't around me. 

Colin could tell that I was acting weird but I wanted him to think it was grief talking, I didn't want him to know that my emotions were off. 

Now he knows. 

"I've missed you," I breathed into his arms and finally he softens in my touch. I close my eyes as he holds me.
