YOUR POV
the night continued on, loud and chaotic. what else did you expect? this was your friend group. everyone was getting along so well with tom, everyone except colby of course. you knew colby was bitter, and that he still loved you.
however, there was nothing you could do about it. the fact that he didn't support you hurt you worse than anything anyone has ever done to you in the past. it was extremely hard to get over, and once you did he tries to come crawling back.
you watched with a content smile as tom and sam shared stories, tom's laugh filling your ears and making your eyes glow. you felt a tap on your shoulder and looked to see who it was, "hey kev."
"hey kiddo," he ruffled your hair with a smile, "you're in love with him aren't you?" he motioned toward tom. you thought about it for a second before smiling to yourself, "yeah, yeah i think i am." "listen y/n, don't let colby upset you okay? you know that every last one of us will support you in all that you do, we want you happy and that's all we care about."
"thank you dad. i love all of you. i can't really blame colby for being bitter, but at the end of the day, he did what he did. i forgave him a long time ago but, i never forgot about it." kevin nodded as you spoke. "i understand, tom's an amazing guy and he's lucky to have you. always remember that."
you smiled at him as he walked off, feeling a familiar hand wrap around your waist and his scent fill your nose. "would you like to dance with me, love?" you looked up at him, your eyes beaming. "yes, i would love to." he took your hand and walked over toward the open area where you both started dancing.
COLBY'S POV
sam walked over to him, his eyes careful. "i hate how happy she looks with him. makes me sick." colby tried his best not to squeeze his glass in his hand. "i know you still love her colby but, don't you want her happy? even if that means not with you?" he sighed.
"of course i do. but that doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt seeing her with someone else. doing all the things i wish i could do with her." sam looked up at his best friend, noticing his eyes watering at the sight of you dancing away with your lover.
"i know it hurts. but believe me, whatever happened was meant to happen. i know you don't need to hear that but, it will be okay." sam walked away, leaving colby there to drink away his sorrows. all he could do was reminisce on everything, while trying to make himself go numb.
"fuck." he put his glass in the sink before walking out to the backyard. he was there for all of five minutes before he heard the laughter of two people. he huffed as he realized who it was, suddenly hearing the shushes of you asking to speak to him alone.
YOUR POV
"colby, why are you out here alone? you're normally inside with everyone else." "no reason." "i know you better than that." "y/n i said no reason." you sighed, "just tell me what the hell is wrong with you."
"I STILL FUCKING LOVE YOU Y/N." your eyes widened at the sudden outburst, being surprised at the volume of his voice. "i-i'm sorry-" "god. you don't understand how hard it hurts seeing you with him. if i could take you from him i would."
you gulped slightly. "colby i'm sorry but-" "i already know what you're going to say. but y/n for the love of god, please. just please give me another chance. i beg of you. i can't breathe without you, live feels pointless without you. i know i was an idiot but i promise to be better."
you looked over, tom being inside and looking out at you with a worried expression. you knew who you wanted, and who had always been there for you. who you feel truly could never hurt you in any way shape or form, and that was tom.
"colby, i'm sorry but, tom's just so amazing. i know you don't want to hear me get all sappy about him, but it's true. i'm so in love with him. on set when i was having panic attacks he was there, he knew how to fix them without even knowing me well the first time it happened. when i thought i wasn't made for hollywood or the acting world, he assured me that he wasn't either. but, one thing he always told me was that, belong here or not, we made a hell of a good movie."
colby was looking down at the floor now, his tears threatening to fall the floor but he refused to let them. "i need someone like that. someone who will always support me no matter what the circumstances are. i need someone whom i can be a team with, and i'm sorry but, you proved to me that we can't be a team."
he sighed, wiping his face once he realized his cheeks were wet. he just looked out toward the sky, nodding his head slightly as the information you gave him registered. "as long as you're happy y/n." he turned around and walked back inside, leaving you out in the cold as you watched him disappear upstairs.
