FOOLISH ONE! sam golbach

CHAPTER ONE!

Zella Rollins was a young adult in her mid twenties who had a Youtube channel called RollinsWithIt. On the channel, Zella made videos of vlogs, challenges, exploring videos, etc. She had gained quite a big following over the years but not nearly as big as her best friends Sam and Colby. She was so proud of how far they come, she was one of their biggest supporters. But Zella had a secret. She was in love with Sam Golbach. She knows it's such a cliché thing, to be in love with her best friend, but she can't help it. He was just so perfect. His bright blue eyes, his warm smile, and just the way his personality shined bright. He was the kindest and the sweetest person she ever knew. He always made her feel happy and loved.

Zella wasn't the only person who was in love with Sam, his girlfriend Katrina Stuart was too. That's why Zella hated the fact she was in love with him. She loves Sam and Kat together, they're so good for each other and she hates that. She can't hate Katrina, Katrina is such a sweetheart and is honestly a close friend of hers, but she can't help being jealous. And not that Zella wanted to do anything about it, she would never break up the couple. They're both so happy together, and she could see the love in Sam's eyes every time he looks at her. She was just jealous because Katrina had the courage to do something about her feelings for Sam. Zella was the foolish one to think Sam would ever return the feelings.

And it sucks. It really does. The thought that Sam will never love her back the same way. That's the worst thing that Zella has to live with. But she's learning to accept it and move on. She has to. She's going to. She won't allow her feelings for him to ruin her friendship with him. It's so hard because her feelings for him still linger in her mind, she knows she won't ever be able to get rid of them and a part of her doesn't want to. Sam will always have a special place in her heart, no one can replace that. But Zella is going to try her hardest to get rid of her feelings. She knows it won't be easy. It will take a long time.

Sometimes when Zella wanted to have some alone time, some peace and quiet, she'll sneak off to the roof of the apartment building and watch the stars. Or sometimes she'll watch the sunset and then watch the stars. She'll often bring her laptop with her to work on editing videos, or she'll just go up there to be alone with her thoughts. She's had some great thinking sessions on the roof. Tonight was one of those nights. 

She was having trouble sleeping and she just needed a break from the world. She grabbed a blanket, her phone, and earbuds, and snuck out onto the roof. It was cold and windy, but Zella was wrapped up warm. She looked out at the LA night, looking at the bright lights from the cars and the buildings. She found a nice place to sit and laid the blanket down. She plugged her earbuds into her phone and turned on the music. She loved nights like these, the silence, the darkness, the fresh air. They're very therapeutic to her. She looked up at the night sky and smiled at the millions of stars.

There are a few things you need to know about Zella before befriending her. She absolutely loves her friends and family and will do anything to protect him, she is a bit obsessed with Sonic (her favorite drink from there being coca cola), and she loves stargazing. She would look up at the sky at night and just admire how beautiful they were. Sometimes she'll try to make pictures of the constellations and find different shapes in the stars. She's been doing this ever since she was little. When her father was still alive, he would often take her outside at night and teach her all about the stars. He even bought her a telescope for her 7th birthday. She loved it so much and used it all the time. Her dad was the one who got her into astronomy so she had been very happy when she got the telescope from him. 

When she was a kid, she'd stay up late waiting for him to come home from work, he would bring her outside and they'd lay down on the grass and watch the stars. Her dad had worked late as long as she could remember. He was a truck driver. She would miss him every time he'd go on his long drives, but he'd come back with gifts for her. Whenever he would come back, they would watch the stars together. He taught her everything she knew about the constellations. He passed away when she was twelve and her mom didn't like the idea of stargazing, so she did it alone.
