Are we just friends ~ Scobby

Chapter 3

Scott Williams' Point of View

14th November 2023

I peeked around the corner and saw Josh leave the room. I clenched my fist and stared at Daryl as I spotted him in the doorway. Rob had just won his last match and was on the way back to the hotel. So he'd be back in... like... 10 minutes. Josh took a step fowards, but then stopped himself. He turned back to Daryl. The older one placed his hand on the younger ones face and pulled him closer. Their lips connected, and after maybe a minute, they seperated. I frowned and hurried back to me and Rob's room. I let the door stay open so Josh could enter without me having to go back and open it again. After a short while I heard him enter. "Hello?" the Northern Irishman said. "Hi, Rob's not here yet." I said. He closed the door and walked over to me. "Hi Scotty!" he said as he smiled at me. I can't believe he hasn't told me and Rob about him and Daryl. He came over and sat down next to me on the bed. I quickly moved my hand up to cover my neck, just to make sure he wouldn't see anything he shouldn't. I avoided eye contact, just waiting for Rob to return. "Rob?" he laughed. "Don't you mean Bobby? Since when did you last call him Rob?" Josh laughed with a slight confusion in his tone. "Since earlier today." I said quietly with a hard tone. "Woah there, what's up buddy?" Josh reacted to my slightly harsh tone. "Why didn't you tell us?" I asked, clenching my free hand. "Tell you what?" he asked, now only sounding confused. "That you and Daryl are--" I stopped myself as the door opened and Rob entered. Josh got up quickly and the two hugged. I felt my nails dig into my skin on my neck. I bit my inner lip and frowned. I never get those kind of hugs- no, I barely get any at all! "So are we gonna talk about the fact that I saw you and Daryl kiss?" I asked, breaking their hug up. "What are you talking about?" Josh laughed, trying to cover it up. "What are you talking about Scotty?" Rob said, not buying it. "Yeah- why are you making things up?" Josh lied with a nervous laugh. "Yeah, why?" Rob asked. My eye twitched. "You knew, didn't you?" I asked, staring Rob directly in the eyes. Rob broke our eye contact, looking guilty. "Of course you fucking did, am I even a part of this? You guys always keep secrets from me, don't you?" I asked standing up quickly, feeling hurt. "Then why don't you tell us what's going on with you?" Rob asked with a very little harsh tone. I flinched and took a step back. "I can't do that." I said quietly. "Then you're keeping secrets from us as well." Rob said continuing that tone. I gulped and let go of my neck. "You don't understand." I said with a shaky voice. I looked down and saw a little bit of blood on my fingers. I made eye contact with Rob again, and he looked concerned. I pushed past them and locked myself in the bathroom. I washed the blood off my fingers and neck. I've cut way too much there. Not like obvious cuts, but it hurts so fucking much. I've kinda just pressed a knife against my skin, so it didn't like actually cut, but still did a little bit. I sighed and looked over at the door. I heard knocks. "Scott... come out... please." the other Englishman said. "Just leave me alone, I'll be there in a few minutes." I said.
