Colby's POV

The ride home was so fucking silent all I could do was rerun the past few days in my head. My eyes closed, seeing pretty blue eyes and wild curly hair. My cheeks hot and wet from the few tears I had let myself shed. I don't know what the fuck has gotten into me. I don't cry, and I've done more of it in the past two days than I have in a long time.

The car comes to a halt, and the sound of the doors unlocking make me peel my eyes open. We have reached our destination, and a few hours ago I would have been happy about it, but now I want to simply pack my bags and run as far away as I can.

I follow Sam and Kat into the lobby and head straight for the elevator. Stupid fucking elevator.

When the doors open I feel like they will be standing there, waiting for me with open arms. When they do, they aren't, and I roll my eyes at my own stupidity.

Silence fills the small space as I watch the numbers climb, going up each floor. Once we reach mine, to my surprise, they follow me out and toward my room.

"What are you doing?" I ask Kat as she passes my room.

I go to follow her but am stopped by Sam grabbing my shoulder and guiding me toward my door.

"Just going to check on them. Make sure they got back okay." she says, not daring to knock until I am out of sight.

"Yeah, okay-" I say. "Give Mia a kiss for me."

She sniffles and nods her head, giving me a sad smile.

And as she raises her hand to knock, Sam and I step into my room.

I make a beeline for the bed I hadn't slept in since my first night here. and stuff my face into the pillow.

"Fuck." I whisper.

I feel Sam looming around the room, he is babysitting me, making sure I don't do anything irrational, and it is irritating me.

"You can leave." I say, not even bothering to look at him.

"No." he says, finding the remote and switching on the TV- making himself comfortable in the chair in the corner.

"I'll be fine." I say with a scoff.

"I know you'll be fine Colby. I just don't want you doing anything stupid." he says.

That small comment causes me to shoot up and give him the dirtiest look I have probably ever given him.

"What the fuck do you think I am gonna do Sam? I'm not a child, and I sure as hell don't need a babysitter! I can handle myself!" I scream, flailing my arms around like a child.

"I know you can handle yourself. But can you handle being two doors down from the two girls that just broke your heart? I don't think so. Not right now."

"Nobody broke my heart Sam. I would have said goodbye to them tomorrow and that would have been it. They were just some fans." I lie, and lay down again.

"Whatever bro." he responds. "I'll wait for Kat in the hall. Night." and with that he makes his way out of my room and I am left alone to peacefully wallow in my own self pity.

Kat's POV

I watch my boyfriend and his best friend disappear before knocking on the door in front of me. I half expect nobody to answer, for all I know they could be half way to the airport by now.

"Who is it?" I hear a sad voice say from the other side of the door.

"Kat, Morgan... please open up." I plead.
