   A couple more hours went by, and before I knew it, it was 7:30AM. I was still sitting on the couch, watching YouTube. No one was awake, and I was finally starting to get tired.

  "Fuck." I groan sleepily. The sun was out, and beaming in my face. I turn off the TV, and walk slowly upstairs. As I reach the second floor, I hear footage coming from the hallway near Colby and Sam's rooms. A few seconds later, Colby comes out, with a head of messy hair, and a tired face.

  "Jordan? Did you.. did you wake up already?" He asks in a deep sleepy voice, giving me a small wave of butterflies. "Uh, in a way." I say. "Explain." He says to me, leaning up against the wall. He runs his hand through the fron of his hair as I begin to explain how my night went.

  "Well, you fell asleep while we were watching YouTube, and then I went to go to bed, but I couldn't go to sleep. So I ended up staying awake... all night." I explain. Colby looks at me for a minute, before he speaks again.

  "Well, you could call in sick so you can sleep." He suggests. "No, I'm not going to call in sick." I say, a yawn following shortly after. "I'm just going to get ready, go to work, and sleep when I get home." I say. "What about your car, and keys?" Colby asks. "Oh, fuck I forgot about that." I say.

  "I'll just... hmm. I'll just call an Uber and go grab the keys if they need more time with that piece of shit box I call a car." I say. Colby chuckles lightly at my comment about my car, making me smile. "Don't worry about calling an Uber. I can pick you up and drive you. I'm not bust today, so I can do it." Colby offers. "Are you sure? You really don't have to." I say. "No, it's completely fine. I want to." He says with a smile.

  "Anyway, do you want to shower?" Colby asks. "Yes, I do." I say. "Come choose some clothes from my closet." He tells me. Colby pushes himself off the wall, and leads me into his bedroom, opening the closet door for me. "I'm gonna be making some breakfast downstairs, wear whatever you want, I don't care." Colby says, patting my shoulder as he walks away.

  As he walked away, I started looking through his closet for something to wear. Instantly as I turned right, I saw a shirt that caught my eye. It was a long sleeved, black and grey striped sweater. "Ohh, this is nice." I whisper to myself. I begin to rub the arm of it, admiring the soft cotton it is made of. "Definitely wearing this." I say to myself, taking it off the hanger.

  Next, I found a pair of dark black, slim fit, men's skinny jeans, with rips on the knee's. "Okay this is going to look great." I say to myself with a smile. I grabbed the pants, and began to walk to the bathroom. I set the clothes down on the counter, and began to close the door.

  Just as I was about to turn the shower on, I realized I didn't have any clean underwear. "Shit." I say. I opened the door back up, and walked downtown to find Colby in the kitchen, cooking something in the microwave. "Hey." I say, walking behind Colby. He turns back to me, and smiles. "Hey." He says happily.

  "So, I don't have any underwear... would you mind if I borrowed a pair of yours?" I asked anxiously, fidgeting with my fingers. "Well if you like Calvin Klein or American Apparel boxer briefs, go ahead. That's all I have that's clean right now." Colby says. "Really?" I reassure. "Yes, go ahead." He giggles. "Thank you." I say with a smile.

  As I walk away, Colby says something else, stopping me. "By the way, you can use my speaker for music if you want. I always listen to music in the shower." He offers. "Okay, I will. Thank you." I say happily. Colby Smiles once more, and I walk back upstairs and into Colby's room.

  After grabbing a pair of boxer briefs, the speaker, and my phone, I headed into the bathroom and turned on the shower.

  Removing my shirt, I looked at myself in the mirror. Observing the fading scars on my skin, where my ribs were. Frowning in shame, I rubbed them gently and sighed. "I'm okay now." I remind myself, gaining back a light grin.
