If tomorrow starts without me pt.2

I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,

While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.

Or

Colby tells his mom. It goes as he thought it would. It doesn't make the hurt any less

-
The next few days are some of the best Colby's felt in a while.

He doesn't know if it was the amount of sleep he was able to get or something else but he wakes up the next morning and doesn't feel tired at all.

Even Brennan comments how he's looking much better, even though they both know it will be a temporary state. Still, it's best to celebrate the good days when they come or else it becomes way too easy to be discouraged, which his doctor said would only deteriorate his condition further.

Sam is extremely satisfied as well when he sees Colby showing up for filming and even hanging out with them more downstairs. Hes still doting though, constantly making sure Colby is ok and offering him water every few hours to keep his body hydrated.

As they get closer to the house, currently on there way back from filming a video, Sam asks about colbys plans for the weekend and asks him if he wants to join everyone on a mall trip

"I don't think I can," Colby replies apologetically as he unbuckles his seat belt. "I have to go to Brennans on Saturday."

A beat of silence.

"...You've been hanging with him a lot lately," Sam notes with a frown, "what are you guys gonna do?"

Oh.

Of course he would find out he was with Brennan. He should of been more careful when leaving the house. How much does he know? Does he already think he's acting suspicious? Does he know he's lying?!

"Where just gonna chill and get some food," Colby says quietly, and knows even then that it's a lie. Sams face tries not to fall when he hears it. Instead he smiles and tells Colby that it's ok. They can just hang out once he gets back. They have all the time in the world anyhow.

Colby laughs as his throat catches. Guilt ridding his face. "Yea for sure dude!" He can feel his body weaken from nerves alone. His eyes glassing over as he opens his car door and gets out. He keeps his head down as he walks into the house and into his room.

All the time in the world huh....

Colby sinks into his bed with a heart full of anguish. He doesn't know how he'll ever be able to tell him....

_

The rest of the week passes by fast, a blur of making up missing post, hanging out with Sam and the others, or being dragged along by his friends to different activities. By the time Saturday arrives, Colby feels much better than he had been all week, something he's sure his doctor will appreciate hearing about.

Just like the last few times, Brennan says he'll drive him to the office and absolutely refuses to hear anything about Colby driving himself. Pulling up to the trap house Brennan shoots Colby a quick text before turning some of the air down. He doesn't want Colby to get too cold.

Saying bye to the house Colby smiles as he walks up to the car. A grin from ear to ear. Brennan can't help but laugh at the sight. This is who Colby is. This is how the world sees Colby, it's beautiful, it's amazing, it's- it's supposed to stay this way forver....

"Hey brother!" Colby about yells as he opens the car door and gets in. "How you been man?" Brennan clears his mind quickly as he smiles back. Already leaning over the center console to give his friend a hug. "Bro I should be asking you that! Not the other way around!"
