Colby chuckled slightly at Jake's remark, and laid next to him on the bed, trying not to let his body touch Jake's, but that was going to be hard, because Jake had every intention of taking up all the room he possibly could.

"Do you really need to take up that much room?!" Colby asked Jake, to which the boy chuckled.
"Nooo, but, I want to. Soooo, I guess your just gonna have to cuddle with me." Jake smirked.

"Do you do this with all your roommates or just me?" Colby asked,
"Just you!" Jake said in a perky tone. Colby didn't know if he meant it, or if he was just joking.
"I don't know why im trusting you this fast." Colby hummed.
"Maybe because, you know that deep down you needed some place to stay, and when a handsome man the same age as you offers you a place to stay, you have to take the offer, and you know that we are going to be best friends forever, so in my eyes, you have no right to not trust me." Jake cockily smiled, making Colby roll his eyes at the others sassy remark.

Colby ended up just taking the boys' offer and laying his head on his chest, which was oddly comfortable. Eventually, Colby fell asleep, and woke up to his leg over Jake's thighs, his arm around his torso, and his head still in the boys chest. He felt Jake's hand gently rub his back,
"Good morning, sleepyhead." Jake chuckled, as Colby groaned.
"What time is it?" Colby looked up at Jake, and Jake checked his phone.
"4:28" Jake simply replied.
"Holy shit I took that long of a nap?! We got here at like 9:00 am! Did you eat lunch!? Did you at least get some water?" Colby sprung up, but Jake quickly wrapped his arm around the boy, pulling him back down.
"Mumphhh" Jake mumbled into the pillow.
"Huh?" Colby tilted his head.
"No. It's okay though, I'm not hungry. Just tired."

Colby gently pulled himself from Jake's grip, and headed down to the kitchen. He grabbed a water out of the fridge, but didn't bother grabbing food, knowing Jake probably wouldn't eat if he was tired.

He walked back into Jake's room, and walked over to the nightstand that was resting next to the bed. Jake laid on the bed motionless, besides his chest moving up and down in even breaths.
"Can you lay with me?" The words startled the brunette at first, but he decided that Jake let him sleep with him, so why can't he let Jake sleep with him?

He laid next to the boy, closer to the nightstand, and rolled on his side, and went on his phone, from which he grabbed from his room on the way back upstairs.

He was spending his time texting Devyn and Sam about Jake, and how he really thinks he's a sweet person with good intentions. Sam immediately seems okay with Colby staying with them, as long as he has somewhere safe to stay, but Devyn on the other hand...
'I still don't trust this guy, Cole! How do you know that he isn't just lying to you about who he is!? What if he's just a weird cerial killer and this is some elaborate plan to kill you!? What if he's a rapist? What then? Huh? It's not like you can run all the way back here, Cole! It's dangerous! Especially with his friends there! What if they're all plotting something together? How do you know they haven't done this before! I hate this idea Cole! You know you could've easily came to stay with me or Sam! We both would've let you in! We both would've preferred that then you letting some rando pick you up from a flower field or whatever the fuck it is, and just taking you to live with him!! I'm so mad at you
right now, Cole!' Devyn sent. Colby knew Dev wasn't only mad, but pissed.
'Oh, please! You act like I'm your kid! You act like I have to abide to your rules! Well fuck that! Fuck your rules! I get that your worried for me, but you could've at least given me some support!! I just ran away from my abusive home for christs sakes! Did you even care about what I did before that?! Sam did! Everytime he came over he'd ask me how I was doing, regardless of the front I was putting on! Who was there when I tried to commit for the first time? Or the times after that? Sure as hell not you! Sam! I knew you would only make things worse! You always do! Stop trying to take my life away from me! It's my life!! 'I'm so mad at you right now, Cole!' Oh, please! Let me fucking hear it! Lay it on me, Devyn! Don't ask me how I'm doing, or how I've been doing for the past fucking years of my life living in that hellhole, getting beat, DAILY. Don't act like you were there for me! The only thing you were ever there for was my mothers passing. After that? Gone. FUCKING GONE. I spent YEARS of my life SUFFERING like some puppet, while you were always like 'my dad came home late last night again! I'm so upset.' THE ONLY TIMES I HAVE EVER TRIED TO OPEN UP TO YOU, YOU TRIED TO BEAT MY TRAUMA. 'Oh you think your dad shattering a glass bottle of alcohol over your head is bad? What about tripping over your moms foot and having her blame you!' LIKE WHAT THE FUCK?! HOW COME YOU ARE ALWAYS THE FUCKING VICTIM HERE, HUH? YEAH, WHY'S THAT, DEVYN? CARE TO TELL ME? BECAUSE UNLIKE YOU, ME AND SAM CARE FOR OUR FRIENDS. ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS YOURSELF. SO, FUCK YOU, DEVYN. FUCK. YOU.'
Colby pressed the send button on his phone, and put it on the table next to him. He buried his head in the pillow, in hopes Jake wouldn't see him crying, but his plan failed, he felt Jake's hand on his back, gently rubbing circles.
"Hey, bud. You okay? What's the matter?" He asked in a soft and understanding tone of voice, one that he had not heard him use before.

Colby didn't care if Jake knew all about him anymore, he couldn't hide it. He despised Devyn right now, and he just needed to let it out. He wrapped his arms around Jake's shoulders, pulling him into a tight hug, and began sobbing in the boys neck.
"Hey, hey, hey! Calm down. Breathe. It's okay, Colby. It's okay. I'm here. Your safe now." Jake wrapped his hand around Colby's torso, and the other in his hair.
"What happened?" Jake pulled his head away from Colby's, and tilted his head, Colby reached over his head and handed him his phone. Jake read through the messages, and looked horrified.
"First of all, you know I would never do anything like that, right? Like.. kill you or rape you?" Jake asked, placing a reassuring hand on the other boys shoulder. Colby only nodded, letting out small choked sobs.

"Colby, are you okay? Do you want to talk about... your past, with me?" Jake asked Colby, grabbing the boys chin to make their eyes meet. Colby didn't know what to say. Sam was the only person who listened to Colby after his mom was gone. Would he let Jake listen?
