Part 2

 

2 weeks before 

 

Bella and Colby’s apartment

 

Colby arrives home to find a letter on his doorstep. He picks it up and locks the door behind him before going to sit on the couch to read it. He’s surprised it just has his name on it and nothing else. He hopes it isn’t bad news he doesn’t think he can take it.

 

”Dear Colby, It’s Chelsea, look I don’t have time to explain things but your friend Robbo well I was looking after him in witness protection but he’s gone missing and we don’t know who took him or why, we need your help and the rest of his friends and family in the bay, please keep the secret his life depends on it”

 

Colby assumes their would be more but that’s it. What is he supposed to do now? Who is he allowed to tell? Just Robbo’s closet friends and family? He needs more information and what about Lance? Does he know anything? But then what about Chelsea? Is she coming back? Will he see her? Talk to her? Would she even want too? This is too much for him...

 

1 Week Ago

The Morgan House

 

Colby and Tori are chatting

 

Tori: Robbo is alive?

Colby: Yeah well maybe?

Tori: I can’t. Witness protection but why wouldn’t he tell us?

Colby: You know why. If you guys didn’t know they wouldn’t come after you.

Tori: I get it. I’m just so happy and sad but also angry and mad and I have too many feelings.

Colby: Haha me too. And Chelsea being involved? I didn’t expect this.

Tori: Yeah how are you feeling about your ex?

Colby: Honestly I’m scared.

Tori: I’m scared too.

Colby: We will get though this together. Like family do.

Tori: You are my family. I love you.

Colby: I love you too.

Tori and Colby hug each other holding on for dear life.

Tori: What if I never see him again?

Colby: You will.

Tori: How can you be so sure?

Colby: Because Robbo would fight forever to come back to you and Grace and Jasmine. It’s who he is.

Tori: Thank you. I’m glad your here.

Colby: Where else would I be?

Tori: Robbo will come home right?

Colby: We will find him.

Tori: Whatever happens just know I will always be here for you.

Colby: Same to you always. I know I’m not him but I always thought of us as a forever kind of thing not like what you and Robbo have obviously but a forever friendship, you understand?

Tori: No I get it, and me too. Forever friendship? I like it.

Colby: Just promise me when we find him, never let him go again.

Tori: Oh trust me when he’s back in my arms I’m never letting him out of my sight, he’s my everything.

Part 4

 

Robbo’s Grave

 

Tori and Colby arrive and approach Robbo grave and is confused to find no one around.

 

Tori: What is this about?

Colby: I don’t know.

Tori notices something. 2 letters on Robbo’s grave each addressed to them. They both pick up their own letter and move away from each other to read it in private. Tori opens up her letter first and it says.

 

“Hey Tori, I know your probably mad at me but I hope your happy too that I’m not dead. You and Colby can come find me but only you 2. You can’t tell anyone else where your going or why. Not even everyone else who knows I’m still alive. You need to protect everyone and yourselves. Please come find me. I love you to the moon and back and can’t wait to have you back in my arms”

 

Tori wonders why their is nothing else but she’s crying. Robbo is still alive and he needs her, he needs them. She’s going to find me. Whatever it takes.

 

Tori goes back over to Colby to talk to him about her letter when he grabs her and pulls her into a hug. Tori is safe in this moment with Colby holding her. Colby pulls away and looks at her before leaning in and kissing her! Tori is shocked but as soon as the shock wears off she starts to kiss him back as in this moment she wants it too.

Part 5

 

Robbo’s grave

 

A few moments earlier

 

Colby gets his letter and opens it as Tori is opening hers. He starts to read it.

 

“Hey Colby, I’m sorry. I know your mad but I couldn’t tell any of you as it was for the best. But now I need you to come find me with Tori. But only you 2. You can’t tell anyone either. Even the people who know I’m still alive. I’m also sorry that you can’t go back to the bay after this. You need to leave and come find me now. We are running out of time”

 

Colby was surprised their was nothing else. Where are they supposed to do now. How are they meant to find him.

 

Colby realises their is a small note suck inside the envelope as well as his letter. He picks it up and reads it looking shocked at what it says and what object is also in the note. He opens up the note and reads it now understanding everything. He picks up  the object and puts it in his pocket. He knows he has to give it to Tori he just doesn’t know when or how. He walks back over to her.

 

After the kiss

 

Tori: What was that for?

Colby: Tori their is something I have to give you it’s from Robbo.

Tori: Ok what is it?

Colby pulls out a ring and shows it to Tori.

Tori: An engagement ring?

Colby: No a promise ring. He told me you are his soulmate and he wants you to have it. But their is more it’s going to act as an engagement ring.

Tori: What? Why?

Colby: Me and you need to pretend to be married like yesterday.

Tori: Wait what?

Colby: People are watching us. Act like I just proposed to you.

Tori: Omg Yes I accept.

Colby: I love you.

Tori: I love you too.

Colby and Tori kiss and hug each other.

Tori: You have to tell me everything.

Colby: I will as soon as we are out of here and safe.

Tori: So when’s the wedding?

Colby: In a week. And Robbo will be their of course.

Tori: Of course. Can’t wait to see him.

Colby: Me neither. Should I be worried your more excited to see the best man than the husband?

Tori: Always! But no of course not I’m marrying you aren’t I?

Colby: Yep and aren’t I a lucky guy today.

Tori: Today? I think for life.

Colby: My mistake of course.

Tori: I love you.

Justin gets a text message from Tori and smiles at the message.

Chapter 7

 

Ian and Wendy’s farm

 

Everything is set up for the wedding and Tori and Colby are waiting anxiously for their next move.

 

Tori: What do we do now?

Colby: Keep following the plan.

Tori: I’m scared.

Colby: Me too.

Tori: But I’m happy too.

Colby: About Robbo?

Tori: Well yes but about us too.

Colby: Are you ready for this wedding?

Tori: Couldn’t me more sure. I love you.

Colby: I love you too.

Tori is shocked to see Robbo arrive and she barely keeps her composer. Colby realises she is breaking and kisses her to remind her why they are doing this. I mean seeing Robbo alive and in the fresh is more than enough reason but they need to keep their cool and play the game.

Robbo is surprised to see Tori and Colby kissing he didn’t expect it even though he knows why they are doing this. It just reinforces his belief that him choosing Colby and Tori to come rescue him was the right choice.

 

Colby and Bella’s Apartment

 

Christian has come to see Jasmine

 

Jasmie: What’s wrong?

Christian: Tori dumped me for Colby like what’s that about? And now they are engaged and about to get married? What did I do wrong?

Jasmine: You did nothing wrong.

Christian: Then why isn’t Tori here? And with me?

Jasmine: Because she went to find the one person in this world she can never leave and I’m sorry but that’s not you.

Christian: I don’t understand.

Jasmine: I know. But play along and we might just get them back. All of them.

Ian and Wendy’s farm

 

Tori approaches Robbo and hugs him for dear life. Robbo smiles at her but whispers “Don’t leave Colby’s side”. Tori nods at him to tell him she gets the message. Robbo pulls away from the hug not wanting to act suspicious.

Robbo: I am so happy for you two.

Tori: Really?

Robbo: Of course you being happy is all I care about.

Tori: I care about your happiness too.

Robbo: We will get though this. I promise.

Tori: Promise me we will never lose each other again.

Robbo: Always.

Colby interrupts them

Colby: Good to see you.

Robbo: Well when you asked me to be best man I was surprised. I mean what about Dean?

Colby: Someone has to look after Bella.

Robbo: Of course. How is your sister?

Colby: She’s good. Happy.

Robbo: I’m glad.

Ian and Wendy’s farm

 

The wedding has officially started.

 

Tori is walking up the isle and smiles at Colby and Robbo. She stands facing Colby ready to say their vows. The celebrant does the welcome to the wedding thing and then the vows are next.

 

Tori: You are my best friend. The person I want to spend the rest of my life with. I love you so much. Let’s promise each other we will get though everything as long as we are together and in each other’s arms. A lifetime isn’t enough but let’s start with forever.

Tori puts a ring on Colby’s finger.

Colby: You are the most beautiful and kind person I have ever known. You bring a light to my life that I didn’t see until I met you. I promise to protect you with my life and spend every day loving you. Till the day I die I will keep my promises and I will never give up on us.

Colby puts a ring on Tori’s finger.

The celebrant gives the “if anyone objects then speak now” thing and no one does. So he says to Colby he may kiss the bride. Colby and Tori kissing. The celebrant congratulations them on getting married. Ian and Wendy hug each other and smile at the happy couple. Robbo looks at them and is beaming, seeing his 2 best friends together like this makes him so happy.

Christian: What’s going on?

Christian: What? They actually went though with the wedding?

Justin gives him a look

Christian: Oh right the plan. I’m not doing a good job here am I?

Justin: You just have to sell it in public.

Christian: Ok you can trust me. I can do this.

Justin: You have too. Otherwise you might just not get Tori killed but others as well.

Christian: You mean Colby?

Justin: Yeah and others.

Christian: Who?

Justin: I’m sorry I can’t tell you that. Need to know remember.

Christian: Fine but I hate this need to know thing.

Justin: I think you’d hate it more if Tori ended up dead because of you! So do as we say or just forgot about her completely. It’s hard for all of us. Your not the only one hurting right now. So stop acting like your the only one with something to lose. That’s my sister too!
