foray into the unknown

(After the Idol tour...)

He comes up behind you on the night you're all leaving Manila, when you're leaning over the window of your hotel room looking at the people still bustling below, and puts his arms around you.

“You alright?” he asks, resting his chin on your shoulder. “Talk to me.”

Instead of talking you turn around to face him, and his hands slide down until they go around your hips and you stand on tiptoes as he leans down to kiss you ever so gently. You can feel his heart beating fast under your palms and it makes you realize that it'll be a long time, a long long time, before you can feel it beat for you again.

“I'll miss you,” you say.

“I'll miss you too,” he says back, but there's a look of optimism in his eyes. “Whether or not you're moving to Nashville, we'll make it work, won't we?”

You can only nod before he wraps his arms around you and keeps you warm and safe from the chill of the night.

A Skolton Story- Part 7

Ok well here it is FINALLY sorry i wrote it up in school one day but never had the time to actually post it.

"Whoa" thought Colton as he sits up in his bed. He had a dream last night that it was just a normal day with his friends. Then Skylar appears and drags him into another room. For some reason in his dream he was afraid of her. He knows he has feelings for her in real life but in this dream all he could think of was getting away from her. He ran over to the door but it was locked. He is deathly afraid now and turns around to face her. There is something different about her, but he cant think of what it is. She smiles an almost evil smile then starts to slowly walk towards him. He starts backing up slowly. "Kiss me" she says with the same evil smile. Colton's back is now flat up against the wall. "I-I cant" he stutters and shrinks away. He cant do anything but stand there until and wait to think of something. "Maybe someone will hear me if i pound on the door" he thinks. He turns to the door and starts pounding on it. "Help!" he yells but she just replies "no one can hear you." She finally gets to him and says "well, if you wont kiss me, then i guess you will never make it out." She pushes him onto the floor and he wakes up with a gasp. He feels his hands shaking and wondered why he had such a strange dream with a girl he really likes. He gets out of bed and checks his phone. There is a text from Skylar saying "Hey :) what do u want want to do today?" He gets a weird feeling in his stomach and hopes that his dream wont affect his feelings towards her. He had just kissed her on the bus in front of everyone the other day. So, now he has two things to worry about. He then received a text from Heejun saying "Hey, you should come over today, you can bring Skylar only if u two promise not to have make out sessions." He sighs because he knows that his friends are going to be making fun of him for a while. And also if Heejun was inviting him, then he was probably inviting Phillip too, and he couldn't take that much sarcasm, atleast not today. He decided he wanted to be with Skylar so he texted her back "You wanna come over in about an hour?" He then texted Heejun that he was not coming. About an hour later he heard a knock at the door. He opened it and it was Skylar- with Heejun and Phillip.

"Hey... what are you guys doing here? I only invited Skylar over." 

"Well, we knew you were going to invite her since you werent coming over to my place, so we decided to come here."

Colton whispered something into Skylar's ear and they both ran out of the hotel room leaving Heejun and Phillip there. 

"Well I guess we have the place all to our selves" they laugh. Colton and Skylar go down to her hotel room. She unlocks the door and they go in. He sits on her bed while she cleans up a bit. 

"Hey Skylar..." he says. "I... uh... had a dream about you last night." 

"Oh really?" she smiles, "what about?"

"Well that's my little secret" he says with a grin. 

"Come on Colton! tell me" she demands. 

"Well... I suppose i could be convinced" he grins again. 

"Oh, I see... well then" she walks over and sits down next to him. "What did you have in mind?" she says. 

"I think you know" and they both press their lips together. She pulls away quickly and says "that's all you get until you tell me." 

"On no, little more" he smirks. She pushes him over. 

"Fine! don't tell me, but your not gettin' anymore of..." He presses his lips to her's again and they both sit there enjoying the moment.

Skolton when he puts his head on her shoulder.

I know this isn't what really happened. But I like to think that this happened.

Ten people. All of them flocking towards their fans with much love and care. Talking, squealing, excitement.

Only one seemed exhausted.

Yes, indeed did Skylar Laine never stopped feeling that same warm joy when she saw people wishing to meet her. But now, everything knocked her out. 

"Cheer up, Sky!" Colton comforts her, and she shoots him a tired, fond look. In return, he hugged her and stayed beside her even if she were slow.

They prepared for the group pictures. The first in line were a set of fraternal twins. 

"Who's your favorite?" Colton asked as they cautiously approached.

"No one." They both replied. "We like all of you."

Skylar couldn't help it. She grinned. "Well, then, cutie pies. Come here and sit on the floor with us."

Both of them jumped and squirmed with vibrant joy as they did so. Then, they looked at their mother's camera.

"Smile!"

Colton looked at the twins in front of him. The boy put his head on the girl's shoulder, and she wrapped an arm around him lovingly. It drove his heart.

He did the same to Skylar. She seemed surprised at the gesture, but put her head on his head, moving closer.

"One...2...3!"

Click.

Skylar and Colton expecting their first baby, and Colton talks to and caresses her belly.

The bed was there, an endless tumble of blankets, and Skylar fell in it at once. Her voice cracking and her feet aching, she fell asleep, not hearing Colton come through the house.

A dream of swirling colors and a brown-blonde baby with brown eyes came in the crevices of her mind. The sleep was deep.

She awoke, finding the lavender cloth of the curtains. The sunlight dribbled across the room, but the sweet voice of her husband is the one that comes to her attention.

"Good morning, baby. Or Carrie."

She turned to him fast, startling him, with an amused frown. "Carrie?"

He reacted fast too, smiling. "Well, you do want Carrie, right? It's a nice name."

"Why are we sticking with girl names? I thought maybe Coty..."

"NO!" His mouth dropped. 

"I'm kidding! But Josh."

"Phillip."

"No."

"No." He agreed. "But we're having a girl?"

She pecked him on the lips. "Boy."

"Girl."

[rizalbonifacio]

Anything, for you, girl!

The lights dimmed, and since it had been the last few lines, they were shoved backstage in time. Suddenly, they were in a harshly lit room with people watching them. Eight of them were friends. Heejun, Phillip, Hollie. And they all had bright eyes and tiny smirks.

The other people were, well, not as pleased.

"You might have just ruined everyone's career." The producer glared. Then, Phillip had shot him a cold glance, and there had been a silent exchange of thoughts.

"But...emotionally speaking, we should be congratulating you." Nigel said, voice tuned down. "Now. Skylar, do you say yes?"

Biting back a scream of enjoyment, she nodded. 

"Good luck being together."

And this is what Skylar remembered as someone woke her up for her wedding day.

SKOLTON: Cont. from the tour finale

And yet, the show goes on. The show must go on, after all. Skylar manages to not see him for the entire time.

Then Never Gone comes on.

"This song is dedicated to someone I love. It was written for her in the beginning, but she never knew till now." Some fans jokingly scream that it's for them. And he wistfully smiles, as he plays the piano.

In the middle, she finds herself singing along. 

Then Jessica comes toward her. "You have to say yes. This may be something different. But it is Colton."

And those words pierced her mind. It is Colton.

The bridge came on and she ran out towards the stage, and Colton's playing stopped short. "Wait! Colton!" She cried.

Then she pulled him off the bench and kissed him tenderly.

Skolton: continued from the AI finale proposal

Oh wow. Haha. Are these even good?

Anyways...

The audience continued cheering despite shock. But even Phillip looked stunned. The rest of the Idols froze. Never before had they expected such a sudden proposal.

"Skylar?" Colton whispered into the microphone. Then, a small hand touched his shoulder. He turned. Sure enough, she stood there. Emotionless.

Ryan gently pushed them out of the way and said. "Now, introducing, Home by Phillip Phillips!"

The guitars strummed, and a still-shocked Phillip stepped forward and began to sing.

"Hold on...to me as we go...As we roll down this unfamiliar road."

The lyrics made sense to Colton. He heard it, clear in his head. Everything faded into black. The only thing he heard was the music, and the only thing he saw was Skylar.

He approached her nervously. "Hi..."

"You proposed to me."

"Yes." He felt guilty.

"On a stage."

"Yes."

"Settle down, and it'll all be clear." Phillip's voice rang everywhere. "Don't pay no mind to the demons they fill you with fear."

Colton began uttering. "Sky, I know you didn't see that. And that we only knew each other for a short time. I love you. You're the different type of beautiful. I don't even know if you'd ever agree. But I want to love you."

"Just know you're not alone. Because I'm gonna make this place your home." Phillip went down the stairs toward his family.

Skylar looked at Colton right in eyes for a long time. "I love you too. And I can't believe it, but yes. Of course I'll marry you."

The last beats of Home played as Colton twirled her around and she ran a hand through his hair.

Skolton: Proposal during the AI fianle

"And the winner of American Idol, Season 11, is..."

At the side of the stage, Colton and Skylar held hands, heads bowed, waiting for Ryan to announce: Phillip or Jessica?

"PHILLIP PHILLIPS!"

Skylar let go of his his hand and wildly jumped and whooped. "Yeah! Go Phillip!" As Colton danced around awkwardly, spazzing. The rest of the Top 13 looked at them strangely. They were the only ones doing that.

It didn't matter to them.

They ran to them and hugged everyone else, but Colton lost sight of Skylar.

"SKY?" He went to his pocket. The box was still there. Waiting.

Then he ran over to the microphone, interrupting Phillip, saying. "I'm so sorry. But I need to say this. I can't find her now, but I'll just say this now."

"I loved her since I met her, and each time it grew. I want to love her forever and I want her to be mine. Forever."

"Skylar Laine, will you marry me? Please?"
