Are we just friends ~ Scobby

Chapter 1

Scott Williams' Point of View

14th November 2023

To be honest, I don't know why the fuck I'm here. I mean, I'm not even in the tournament, yet I'm here in the hotel with Rob either way. Me and Bobby had been discussing something recently that we wanted to find out. Because me, him and Josh Rock are the bestest of friends. But lately Josh has been busy with other shit, and we don't know what. That's what we've been trying to find out. We're so confused as to why the Northern Irishman never has time for us anymore. So we're going to confront him soon. Suddenly I heard two fingers snap and I got snapped out of my mind. I locked eyes with Rob who looked at me with a concerned expression across his face. "Are you alright Scotty?" he asked as he put a hand on my shoulder. I nodded and scratched the back of my head. "Why wouldn't I be?" I asked with a nervous smile on my face. "You've seemed a bit... distant recently." Rob said. "I uhh... I'm fine." I said in slight confusion. "Good, I was just making sure." he said as he leaned closer to me. He gently pressed his lips against my forehead. Just for a few seconds, then he pulled away. I blushed as he kissed me. Sure, that's how Rob is, but I feel like it's happening more commonley than before. For a split second I saw him stare at my lips. But I'm not sure if it was just my imagination, it probably was. I lowered my head and stared down on my hands. I bit my lip and Rob sighed. "Where's your smile Scott?" he asked, hugging me slightly, probably trying to cheer me up. I brought my most convincing fake smile upon my face, not even Bobby would be able to tell that it was fake. That's how good I am at fake smiling. Everyone sees me as that happy reckless guy, and sure, I might do and say a lot of things, but I'm not that happy anymore. I cry all the time, the hate I've been getting, has been getting way more shitty lately. People I don't know keep texting me all these things like 'kill yourself' 'you're worth nothing' something like that at least. I'm starting to think about it, a lot, maybe they're right. "You sure you're alright?" he asked once again, smiling brightly at me. My smile grew bigger and I laughed slightly. "Course I'm fine!" I said with a laugh. He laughed and hugged me, giving me a quick pat on the back. What he definitely didn't realise was that I was not alright, and it was all an act. I kept the smile up even though I wanted to just... cry. He pulled away and smiled even brighter at me. "So, we're gonna find out why Josh doesn't have time for us." Rob said. "Yeah, but how?" I asked. "We knock on his door and confront him." he replied. "Alright then." I said.
