In the smoke~ Colby Brock.

~12~

As i woke up, I could feel the sun hitting my face. I looked over to my phone and stared at it for a while. The text. I had no clue who that was. I went onto the contact to see if i could recognize the number but it didn't remind me of anything.

I knew that school was going to be horrible no matter if Colby was there or not. The situation with Nate is going to be Hell and how is Sam going to act around me? Is he going to be all nice like he was last night or is he going to pretend nothing ever happened? 

I tried to push it all of to the side of my brain and actually put a little bit of effort into myself today. I threw on some fishnets with a black band tee. I kept my hair and makeup light and simple. My makeup was just natural with some black eyeshadow on the lower lash line and my hair was just down. I paired my black doc martins with this outfit and set off for the day. Dani was picking me and Carly up today and i was the last one to get picked up. There was a honk outside telling me that they were here and i still hadn't told them anything, and i don't think i was going to.

"Hey guys" I said happily as i got into the car. "Well aren't you in a good mood this morning" Dani said with a smile spread across her face. My small fell ever so slightly but Dani didn't notice, Carly did though. "Yeah you could say that" I said with a small smile and just sat back and went on my phone. Carly could tell i had been a little distant but she hadn't said anything about however which i was thankful for.

We had gotten to school within a mere 15 minuets, I just wanted to get to class so i thanked dani for the ride and said that i would see them both later. I tried to run off but Carly caught up with me. I looked behind me and saw Dani talking to some guy. 

"Hey, what's up with you today?" Carly sked slightly concerned. "Nothing's wrong with me?" I put on a big smile. "See, everything is perfect." I still kept my fake smile but this time my eyes were filling with tears. I was embraced by her. She held me so tight i couldn't move but it was exactly what i needed. "shhh it's gonna be alright, whatever it is you don't have to tell me but always know that im always gonna be here for you, Dani as well." I cried slightly but i quickly wiped away my tears so my makeup wouldn't run everywhere.  We pulled away after a while and i just went to class after saying goodbye. I was scared, but kinda hopped to see Sam because i could do with his support right now. 

I walked into Math and I saw Corey and Jake but i couldn't see Sam or Colby. I was slightly thankful as i knew i wouldn't be able to face Colby right now but i also needed him. I needed Sam too. I sat down next to Maddie when Jake came over to me. 

"Yo, what's up with you and Colby? He has been crying since the other day. What happened?" He asked confused but also slightly angry as his best friend has been sad and it's all because of me. I didn't know he had been crying. That makes me feel 100x worse.

"Come meet me at break under the bleachers and i can tell you." I replied with a sigh and he just nodded and sat down.

Throughout the lesson me and Maddie just spoke about random shit until we could leave. I didn't really want to go to my next class because i was feeling horrible so i thought i could go out somewhere. I walked to Starbucks which wasn't to far away and got a caramel macchiato. I thought about going back to the bridge but i wanted to do something more fun so i settled on Santa Monica Pier. It wasn't too far away from the school but it was far enough that i didn't have to worry about it.

 I didn't want to do anything to extreme but i decided on going on the Ferris wheel. I waited in line for at least 5 minuets until i heard it. 

"What's up guys, It's Sam and Colby..." I heard his voice. My heart dropped. I looked around everywhere trying to find where he was but i couldn't see him. I was last in line for the Ferris wheel and i had to wait around another 5 minuets.
