Lost Friendship | Seth Borden friends to lovers

Chapter 7

We got out the car and I looked over at Josh who smirked as he noticed the blush on our cheeks. "So where are we going again?" Seth asked as he stepped closer to me from behind. Colby sighed and just told us all to follow him so we did. We all walked down the road for a few minutes until Colby stopped outside a small diner. "Ladies first" he said as he bowed slightly and smiled at me. "Why thank you kind sir." I replied giggling slightly before entering and turning around to the others as they entered.

"Okay what does everyone want?" Sam asked the group. "You don't have to pay for us Sam. It's very kind of you but please. We can all pay for ourselves." Josh insisted and i watched them disagree on what the paying situation would be before, Josh gave up and let Sam pay for us. As he walked up to the front counter and ordered what he wanted, he then turned to us as we all looked at him like he was our father, and he called a name and we would ask for what we wanted and thank him. Once we had all ordered, Sam payed and we all walked over to a booth and sat down and we waited for our food to be ready as they all started discussing the hospital and what they already knew about it.

"Has anyone else been feeling kinda weird about the hospital? Like something wasn't right?" Colby asked and all the others shook their head but I couldn't help but wonder if i related to what he was saying. "Colby?" I asked quietly as the rest of them talked. "Yeah what's up?" "Can I talk to you over there for a minute?" I asked as I pointed to a empty spot in the diner. "Yeah of course." We went over to the spot and he looked at me worried. "Is everything alright?" "Yes, well no. I don't know. You mentioned feeling weird about the hospital and I wanted to know what you were feeling because I have noticed something weird going on with me and I don't know if it's related or I'm going crazy." I sighed and he furrowed his brows at me. "Uhh well. I guess I just have had a uneasy feeling about the place. Like everytime it's mentioned I feel kinda sick I suppose." I smiled at me but I didn't find it comforting. "Oh." "Is that not what's been going on with you?" He asked sounding more worried and he touched my arm. "Well kind of. Just more drastic I suppose." "Do you want to talk about it?" I sighed again. "Also if you don't mind me asking, what's going on with you and Seth?" He asked and I spun my head around and looked over at Seth only to see him glaring at colby. "He um, it's nothing." "Right. He just seems to not like me much when your around." "Nah he's chill he just needs some training or something I don't know." He laughed at my comment. "We should prolly head back." I nodded my head in agreement and he put his hand on my lower back and lead me back to the table.

"Where have you two been hiding?" Sam questioned with a suspicious tone in his voice. "We were just talking." Colby quickly answered but he didn't take his eyes off Seth as he spoke. "Right. So that's why your touching her back?" Seth asked and I looked at him angrily. "Why are you looking for a fight Seth? He's done nothing wrong. We were just talking and you've been glaring at him making him super uncomfortable this whole time." I felt like I exploded. I don't know why this made me so angry but all I felt was rage. He was acting so unfairly to Colby.

"Calm down its okay Eleanor." Colby said to me as he kept his hand on my back but put his other one on my stomach and guided me to sit down. "No. It's not okay Colby. He's being super unfair to you." I said to Colby quietly. "No it's okay please don't worry about it." He sat down next to me and I could feel everyone's eyes on me and I just wanted to sink into a hole in the ground and never come back out.

Quickly our food arrived and the others went back to their conversation but I stayed silent and observed. I noticed that although Colby and Seth were talking to the Josh and Sam happily although they didn't speak directly to each other. Once we had finished our food we left the diner we headed back to the hospital, I noticed Seth trailing back a little bit and I didn't think much of it until I noticed Colby look at Seth and then he started trailing back too. I tried my best to listen in on their conversation but they were talking too quietly and i couldn't hear but what I did notice is that once we had arrived at the hospital, everyone was talking with everyone and their didn't seem to be any lost love.

We stopped outside Josh's car and they all grabbed their stuff for recording and i put my phone in my pocket and then we headed up to the front entrance of the hospital and they started recording their intros. I happily introduced myself to Sam and Colbys YouTube and we all talked about what we knew about the location and I couldn't help but glance over at Seth a number of times but he was never looking at me.
