"Are you done moping around the house?" Sam asked as he cleaned up the empty alcohol bottles.
"No, I'm not done moping. She kissed me and whoever this bitch is within a six hour span" I grumbled and Sam shook his head, tossing more cans into the garbage bag.
"I can't believe you stalked her best friend's story" Sam shamed me and I rolled my eyes, opening Aaliyah's Instagram story again.
She posted a video of the ball dropping, spinning her phone around to show everyone celebrating and my stupid eyes found Leighton immediately. I'd recognize that tattoo sleeve anywhere.
Except instead of seeing her celebrate with her best friend, she was locking lips with some girl.
Normally I'd find it hot, but when you're "hopelessly in love" with someone, it isn't very fun to watch a video of them actively kissing someone else after mere hours of kissing you.
Was it a girly way to feel? Maybe. But I couldn't help how much it bothered me, and it pissed me off at how pathetic I felt for caring.
"Dude, she said no. Get over it and come help me clean this place up" He grumbled, both of us extremely hungover.
I groaned, pushing myself up off the couch and snatching some plastic plates off the coffee table.
"Are you going to be in a piss poor mood all day?" Sam questioned, picking up some chip bags.
"Planned on it" I muttered and he sighed.
"This is what I meant when she kissed you! You're letting it affect you! She said no, be a man and accept it! She's our friend. She can go have fun and do whatever she wants. She doesn't owe you shit Colby"
I ignored him, walking out over the stairs.
"Colby! You're supposed to be helping!" Sam yelled but I shut my bedroom door, face planting onto my bed.
"Today fucking sucks" I grumbled, feeling my phone buzz next to my head.
I flipped it over, squinting at the screen.
