Creating My Dreams•A BYE Fanfic

Chapter 23

Toby's POV:

That night we all just relax and rejuvenate ourselves after all that we've been through. I take an actual shower with unlimited hot water and I feel amazing afterwards. My mom makes us actual cooked food and I realize how little I've eaten over the last few days.

Over dinner, my mom asks Connor to explain what happened to us, more importantly Sam. He asks sam if she's okay with it and she insists, but I know she's just being polite. I know she hates to be in the way of anything.

The whole time Connor talks, I realize everyone stops eating and is tuned into the story. My mom almost faints when he tells her Sam was shot and almost dies when he tells her what happened to him. She makes him stand up and show her right then and there. But the scar is already gone, and he gives credit to Sam.

When he gets to the part about her, she keeps her head down. I grab her hand from her lap since she's sitting next to me and hold it all through the rest of dinner since its clear everyone's done eating, especially her.

He gets to the part where we arrive here and he's done. Were left in silence for a moment or two until my mom gets up and goes over to Sam. I let go of Sam's hand since I don't think my mom can take much more before she bends down and gives her a hug.

It hurts me to see Sam having to hug my mom in replacement of hers. She should have her own parents here with her. But I'm happy that she has people around her she knows and loves, unlike the sponsors house.

After dinner, we all decide to hit the sack. We've been at it for days on end, and even though all we did was sit on a bus, were all beyond tired. 

I let Connor and Riley hug Sam and say their good nights before I do. Before they leave the room, I hug Sam just like they did so it looks like I'm not up to anything. But riley turns around before turning the corner and motions for me to come with him. Oh shoot...

I bend down and whisper into Sam's ear, "I'll be right up okay?" She nods her head and follows Riley and Connor up. I hear three sets of doors close before I follow.

I knock on Riley's door and a few seconds later, he opens it quickly, grabs me by the shirt and yanks me in, closing the door silently behind him.

"What the heck was that for?" I ask.

"Well maybe you should learn not to knock loudly when asked to meet in private" Connor says walking out of the bathroom. Oh great he's here too...

"Whatever. What do you guys want anyway?" I take a seat at Riley's desk that's covered in papers of song lyrics rewritten in every way possible.

They both just look at me like "really?" I give then the look back and ask, "what?" Riley face palms himself and connor throws his hands in the air and turns his back.

"WHAT!" I ask again. Now I'm getting super nervous.

"Quiet someone will here us!" Riley yells whispering.

"So what. We aren't doing anything illegal... Are we..?"

"Oh my god. No sherlock. Were not doing anything illegal." Connor says turning back to me.

"Then what are we doing?!" I'm getting really sick of this. I get up from the chair and head towards the door. "If you aren't gonna tell me I'm gonna lea-"

"No!" They say eagerly at the same time.

"Well I have better things to do than me being antagonized all night."

"Like what?" Riley asks raising his eyebrows and putting on a suspicious smile. Connor walks to his side and joins in.

"Sleep..." I say. What are they even getting at? Sam's probably wondering where I am. Wait... Sam...
