The next day, Colt and I are stepping off a plane and hoping in a rental car. We head to a fancy hotel to rest up before tomorrows inevitable stress. We slept for a few hours, then we went to a few stores to find a dress. I couldn't find one I liked for a while but then, just as we went into the last store, I saw the most beautiful dark green dress with sheer puff sleeves. I tried it on and immediately fell in love. I twirled around in the airie skirt, giggling like a little girl. I looked in the mirror and saw Colt standing behind me, adjusting his tie and smiling at me with an odd look in his eyes. I smiled back and turned around to help with his tie. After purchasing the dress and suit, we head back to the hotel. I step inside and set my bag down on a chair before turning around to see that Colt wasn't there. I rush to the door and peek out. I see him running down the hall sneakily with a bottle of champagne. He pushes me into the room and shut the door quietly behind him before dancing suggestively around the room. I laughed loudly before he clamped his hand down on my mouth.

"Shhhhhhhhh" he whispered in my face, smiling broadly. We look at each other, his throat bobbing up and down as he swallows. His breath catches in his throat before he recovers quickly.

He pulls his hand away and grabs the bottle, sitting down on one of the beds. He pats the spot next to him and I plop down beside him. He opens the bottle before taking a swig and handing it to me. I grab it from him and take a large drink before handing it back.

He takes another drink before asking "truth or dare?"

After an hour or so of playing truth or dare and drinking the large bottle of champagne, we took a break and put on a movie. I laid on my bed and hugged a pillow to my chest. He comes out of the bathroom looking sick.

"Vi" he whines

"What's wrong?" I ask.

I'm still fairly sober since I didn't drink near as much as he had. He whines again incoherently and shuffles over to the side of my bed.

"I don't feel good" he mumbles.

I open the blanket and he snuggles in next to me. He lays his head down on my chest and I lay a kiss on his scalp. He falls asleep instantly and snores quietly. I fall asleep soon after.

The next morning I silenced my alarm right when it went off, making sure I didn't wake up Colt. I climbed out from under him and went to the bathroom. I turned on the shower and hopped in, enjoying the warm water down my back. I wash my body and hair, shave and exfoliate, and have myself a mini concert, before climbing out. I wrap a towel around myself and exit the bathroom. Colt is still asleep but now has his head stuffed in my pillow. I giggle before walking over and lifting his head to the side and setting it back down, so he doesn't suffocate. I turn around again and pull on my fanciest underwear and some comfy sweatpants. I figured I had a few minutes to dry off before putting on my shirt. I walked around brushing my hair and teeth before going back to finish changing. Once I had my shirt on I looked over at Colt again and saw him look away quickly

"Colt!" I screeched, smiling incredulously.

"What?!" He exclaims nervously.

"You were watching me change weren't you?!" I laughed.

"No! No I wasn't!" He blushes and looks at his phone.

I go back into the bathroom, laughing as I go. I shake my head and look in the mirror.

"Ew" I mumble at my scraggly appearance.

I begin doing my skincare routine as Colt walks in the bathroom, looking at his feet. I look at him in the mirror and watch as he opens and closes his mouth as if he was trying to say something but nothing came out. I continue my skincare, scrubbing yesterdays makeup off my face. I begin rinsing my face and as I go to grab a towel, I feel two strong arms wrap around me. I wipe my eyes and turn around. Colt is looking at me with an odd look in his eyes.

"What're you-"

He presses his lips onto mine and slides his tongue into my mouth. I wrap my arms behind his neck and push into him, feeling...something on my bladder. I try to pull away, startled, and he pulls me back. He grabs my hips and lifts me onto the counter. He pushes my back against the mirror, shoving my makeup bag off the counter. He pulls me back towards him, our tongues tangling together lustfully. He pulls away and looks at me.

"What was that?" I ask breathlessly.

"I-I don't know. I've been wanting to do that since we got on the plane." He blushes.

"Oh" I mutter.

He peels his arms away from me and steps away. He picks up my makeup bag and places it on the counter before leaving the bathroom.
I stay in the bathroom for about an hour trying to perfect my makeup look for the dance the next day, and once I come out, Colt has left. He left a note on the bathroom door saying he went to meet up with some friends. I toss the note in the trash and go back to the bathroom. I grab my phone and text Ryan.

Twenty minutes later, there's a knock on the door. I walk over and open it quickly. There stands Ryan, blushing and smiling brightly. I hug him excitedly before bringing him inside.

After spending several hours hanging out, I hear the door click and swing open. Colt comes in laughing with a girl. Me and Ryan stop laughing and I gasp. Colt stops in his tracks and a darkness falls over his eyes.

"Um...Ryan...you should go" I mutter.

He nods and slides past Colt and the girl, glaring at Colt as he passes. I stand and try to go into the bathroom. Colt reaches out and wraps his arm around me.

"Ayden could you go? I'll text you" he growls at the girl.

She rushes out of the room quickly. I pull away from him and he glares at me.

"What the hell Vi? What's a guy doing in our room?!" He yells at me. I step back.

"Don't yell at me! You brought some girl into our room too!" I yell back at him, stepping forward and pushing him. He pulls his hands through his hair. He grabs my arm and growls quietly at me.

"She's an old classmate from primary school. And she's trans, and if you haven't noticed, I only like the girl parts. But that Ryan guy is the reason we came isn't he? You just had to be here with him" He says the last part with poison in his voice. I step back, my mouth opening slightly in surprise. A tear falls from my cheek and I push past him, running out of the room.

"Vi wait! Please stop, I'm sorry!" He yells after me following me to the elevator that closes right before he reaches me. I hear a bang on the other side and press the button for the lobby. A moment later I'm rushing out of the elevator and I run into a wall. Looking up, I gasp. There he was, panting and looking down at me with pain in his eyes.
"Please don't run from me. I'm sorry." He pants. Another tear falls down my face. "You don't even know why I had to be here with him. He is the only reason my horses are still alive, why I'm still alive. I owe him everything. And I wasn't going to miss him getting prom king." I say quietly.
"What do you mean, he saved your lives?" He asks quietly. I shake my head, turning back to the elevator. "I need to go to bed." I mumble. He scoffs and I watch him walk into the hotel bar. A tear falls down my face and I go back to the hotel room. I walk in the hotel room and lie on the bed. The bed across from mine is made to perfection just like it was when we arrived. He had been sleeping with me every night. I lie awake for hours until he walks back in the room. He is sober, surprisingly. I turn over when he gets into the other bed. I keep my eyes closed for a few minutes until I hear his breathing level into soft huffs. I crack my eyes open and watch his stomach move slowly, matching his breathing. I stand quietly and take off my sweatshirt. I'm left in my sports bra and sweat pants. I climb back into bed quietly, positioning myself so I'm laying on my stomach with little blankets covering my back and legs, letting cool air hit my back. I fall asleep a little while later.
