Feelings about the unknown

Part 5

Colby's POV

I turn the shower on and set my clothes onto the toilet. I check the time on my phone while the water warms up. It is 12:15. 'Looks like it is going to be an early night tonight' I think to myself. I look at myself in the mirror and get close to see my eyes and how tired they are. I rub under my eye and sigh. I feel the warm water in the shower to make sure it was hot enough for me. I begin to undress but I start to think how pale and fair skin Sam has. I take my shirt off and rub my stomach seeing how much darker I am. I throw my clothes on the ground and get in the shower.

I hold my head under the water to try to calm myself down from what happened today and try to go over the situation again. I think about Sam being pulled down and how scared I was that he was hurt. Something came over me that I have not felt before. A sense of worry that I would no longer have Sam in my life. That's why I felt like we needed to get out of there, and quickly. Because I did not want anything to take Sam from me. But what do I mean by that? Could I mean.... I shake the thought off when I heard something outside the bathroom. Sounded like something closing. I quickly shower and get out. I grab the towel and dry myself off, I look at the door knob just wondering what Sam was doing. I put on a pair of black boxers and some nirvana sleep pants. I grab my dirty clothes and put my hand on the doorknob.

I slowly open it to see that Sam was on the bed with his head in his knees. I place my clothes onto my bag and walk towards Sam. I sit on the bed and as soon as I do Sam looks up at me. "Are you okay?" I ask Sam because it looks like his eyes were a little puffy. "Yeah, I am okay. Just tired I suppose." Sam looks at me and smiles. My heart skips a beat when I saw that smile. "I am going to take a shower as well, okay?" Sam says as he gets off the bed and digs through his bag. "Okay, there is another towel by the sink" I stand up and start to dry my hair while Sam grabs his clothes and goes into the bathroom.

As soon as he shut the door I look towards the desk where I left him to begin with. The laptop was shut, that must have been the noise I heard. And it seems like his headphones were thrown. Why did he do this? I go to open the laptop... "Colby! Do you mind ordering us food? I am kind of hungry now." I stop and look towards the bathroom "Yeah! Is Whataburger, okay?" I ask while grabbing my keys and putting a black xplr club hoodie on. "Yeah, that is fine. Get me a number 1 with a medium fry and a Powerade." Sam yelled. I went to the door to leave. At least he is eating. I am not so worried now.

3rd POV

While Colby leaves the hotel to go get Sam and him some food, Sam gets out of the shower. While drying his hair and sitting on the bed he begins to look for his phone, forgetting where he placed it. He then remembers the laptop. Sam gulps and quickly glances at the laptop that was being illuminated by the desk lamp. He quickly goes over to it and begins to put it up. "I can't let Colby see this video and what we caught" Sam thinks to himself as he grabs his headphones and begins to put everything up, trying to hide that anything is wrong.

Once he was done putting everything up, he grabs his phone to check on it. Kat called 40 minutes ago. Sam looks at the notification and then at the time. It was already past 12:30. "Kat probably already went to bed" Sam goes to messages to text her and to tell her goodnight. He contemplated on whether to tell her about what happened or to just wait till he sees her again. "I don't want to worry her" He thought as he turns his phone off and puts it on the side table. As he does this Colby walks in with two bags of food and two drinks. Sam quickly gets up and helps Colby carry the food in and put it on the desk. "Thank you" Colby says as he kicks his shoes off and puts his food down. He looks at the desk strangely noticing everything has been cleaned up. He looks over at Sam who is unpacking his food. Colby sits down at the desk not wanting to ask anything and starts unpacking his own food.

How is everyone doing? 😊
