|Time Skip. Sam and Colby are back in Los Vegas|
I pack my suitcase with several outfits, and gather other personal necessities.
"Hey babe! Where are the other SD cards?" Sam shouts from downstairs. I walk out of our closet and out bedroom door.
"They should be in the second draw, by the computers." I call back, while standing at the top of the stairs. I hear Sam's footsteps move down to our filming/editing basement. I wait for a moment before calling out, "Find them?"
"No." Sam shouts back. Corey comes out of his room.
"Why are you guys shouting?" Corey raises an eyebrow.
"Because he's downstairs, and I'm up here." I tell him. He only nods.
"Are you guys leaving again?" Corey leans against the wall across from me.
"Yeah, we need to film again." I say as Sam walks up the stairs from the basement.
"Babe, where are they for real?" Sam asks as he walks up the marble steps. Sam stops in front of me.
"I thought I put them there."
"Did you, maybe, put them in our bedroom?" Sam tilts his head and slightly closes his eyes.
"We can look, but I don't think so." I open our bedroom door, letting my blond walk in first.
"I got to sit down, my head is spinning." Sam sits on the edge of the bed.
"Have you eaten?" I ask, standing in front of him. Sam bites his bottom lip.
"I don't know." He leans forward, resting his forehead against my stomach.
"You need to eat, baby." I rub circles on his back.
"I'm not hungry though."
"Well you need to eat anyways." I kiss the top of his head. "Love, lay down and I'll go find you something." He eases onto his back, keeping his eyes closed.
"Fine, but can you turn the light off on your way out?" Sam asks, covering his eyes with a pillow.
"Of course, love." I head for the door, pausing to click off the light switch. "I'll be right back babe." I gently close the bedroom door. I head down the stairs, and walk directly to the kitchen. 'There must be something small he can eat.' I search through the cabinets, choosing a granola bar for him. I move to the otherside of the kitchen, opening the third cabinet-our medicine cabinet. I open my palm and shake out two ibuprofen pills. Closing the cabinet, I open the fridge and grab a bottle of water.
I leave the kitchen and head back up to our room. I ease the door open and quietly slip in. I ease the door shut. "Baby?" No answer. I walk to the side of the bed, giving my eyes the chance to adjust to the dark. "Love, I got you something." Nothing. I see Sam curled into a ball. I carefully set everything on the nightstand. As I do so, Sam stirs slightly. 'Crap.'
"Colbaby?" Sam mumbles. "Lay with me please."
"Of course love. Would you like to take some medicine?" I ask as I slip off my shirt and sweats.
"No. Just come lay with me. I want to be in your arms now." Sam speaks just above a whisper. I didn't say another word. I lay next to him, wrapping my arms around him to pull him closer. I feel him snuggle closer against my chest. I kiss the top of his and close my eyes.
|Time Skip-later that night|
I wake up to Sam easing out of bed. I keep one eye open as I lay still. He reaches for the medicine and the snack.
