Hidden Angel (Solby Fanfic)

Chapter Nine

Colby's POV:

"Alright you asked for it," Sam said as he pounced on Chad. "Sam!" I shouted as the rest of the jocks joined in. I then ran out of the bathroom and began to look for Jake. "Jake!" I called as I saw him and Tara sitting at our table. "Colbs, what's wrong?" Jake asked me. "S-Sam and Chad and the jocks are fighting in the bathroom!" I cried out. "What?!" Jake asked with wide eyes. "Jake go with Colby, I'll get help," Tara said.

Jake and I ran to the bathroom. When I opened the door, I saw Chad punching Sam. "Sam!" I called as I ran to him but was stopped by Jake. Jake then ran and pulled Chad and punched him in the face. Soon it was Jake against four and Sam against another four. As they were busy fighting, I saw Chad walking toward Sam as he raised his hand about to punch him so I did the one thing I could do. I jumped in front of Sam and took the hit.

I then fell to my knees and held my face. I then looked at Chad. "You Bitch!" Sam shouted as he stood in front of me. However, before Chad could do anything, "What is going on here?!" We all turned to see Principal Smith along with Mr. Gutierrez, and Coach Erickson. "Cole and his friends started it, ma'am," Chad lied. "He and his friends wanted to fight us." "Is this true Cole?" Principal Smith asked me. I then looked down as I fiddled with the sleeves of my dress.

"He's wrong ma'am." I then looked up to see Sam and Jake standing next to me. "I only fought 'cause Chad challenged me. But he started it by harassing Colby," Sam explained. "Yeah I only came to help Sam since Colby told me that he was in trouble," Jake added. Principal Smith looked between us and the jocks. "Sam, Cole, and Jake you guys are given a day's worth of detention while you Chad, and your posse are getting a three-day suspension." Chad and the jocks glared at me. "You can all leave now." Sam, Jake, and I left the bathroom. "Oh my god are you guys ok?" Tara asked us. "Come on let's go home," Sam said.

On the way home, Sam and I explained to Tara and Jake what happened before the fight. "I'm so sorry Colbs," Tara apologized. "You've tried warning me but I didn't listen." "I-It's ok Tara it's not your fault," I told her. "Thanks, guys for helping me and Sam," I thanked my friends. "No problem Colby," Jake said. "Just know Colbs, I'll do anything to keep you safe," Sam said.

Third Person POV:

Once the boys got home, Mrs.Brock rushed in. "Hey, boys how was - Oh my gosh what happened?!" Mrs. Brock asked once seeing how beaten up the boys looked. Sam looked at Colby and motioned for him to tell his mom. Colby fiddled with his fingers as he explained to his mom what happened. "Oh Colbaby, I'm so sorry that happened to you," Mrs.Brock said as she hugged Colby. "Thank you so much for helping my baby," Mrs.Brock thanked Sam. "It was my pleasure, ma'am," Sam replied. Mrs. Brock then went to get the first aid kit while the boys sat on the couch.

"That's what you get for dressing like that," both boys turned to see Mr.Brock smirking at Colby. "Tom!" Mrs. Brock scolded as she walked in. "It's true Lesa. If he wants to dress like a whore then he'll get treated like a whore." Colby couldn't take it anymore and ran up to his room. "Tom, how could you say that," Mrs.Brock said with anger in her voice while cleaning up Sam. "Look Lesa, I'm just telling the truth. That boy is nothing but a disgrace." Sam couldn't take it anymore.

"Colby is not a disgrace or a whore. Colby is the sweetest and kindest person I know!" Sam snapped at Mr.Brock. Mr.Brock scoffed as he walked away. Once Mrs. Brock finished, Sam ran upstairs to his and Colby's shared bedroom. Once Sam got to the room, he then opened the door to see Colby now wearing pj's, and hugging his knees as tears slipped down his face. "Oh Colby," Sam said as he sat Colby on his lap. "I-I'm sick and tired of my dad hating and hurting me," Colby sobbed.

"Oh Colby, I'm sorry your dad treats you like that," Sam said. "But I think you should tell your mom." "B-But what if she doesn't believe me?" Colby asked him. "We'll make her believe you," Sam told him. "I just don't want him to keep hurting you." "O-Ok I'll tell her," Colby told Sam. Moments later, once Colby fell asleep, Sam got up and grabbed his phone. Sam noticed it was 11 pm. He decided to call his mom about his feelings for Colby.

Sam's POV:

I was in our conjoined bathroom as I waited for my mom to pick up.

C: Cindy S: Sam

C: Hello?

S: Hi Mom.

C: Sam, honey how's the 'special assignment'?

S: It's going great. I even made new friends.

C: That's great honey and how's the human boy?

S: Oh Colby, he's great. He's sweet, caring, and just overall amazing.

C: (Giggles) Seems to me like you may like him, sweetie.

S: That's the thing, Mom. I wanted to ask, how do you know if you're in love and what is it like?

C: Oh Honey, love is the most beautiful feeling you'll ever feel. When you're in love, not only are you willing to care for and protect the one you love but you will also support them. You also will try to make the other happy.

C: You will also feel safe with one another and trust one another. But most importantly, you will love each other regardless of each other's flaws and differences.

I stood there listening as I took in everything my mom was saying.

C: Do you understand dear?

S: Yes Mom, I do but what if he doesn't like me back?

C: Oh honey, I'm sure he does but he's probably just confused about his feelings. Just give him time ok?

S: Ok Mom.

C: Bye dear, I'll talk to you soon.

S: Bye Mom, goodnight.

C: Goodnight sweetie.

Once I hung up, I then got into bed and wrapped my arms around Colby, and brought him close to me. I then rested my head on top of his as I fell asleep.
