Onward And Sideways (Completed.)

Chapter 2

It's evening now. Lucy left to go to work, but I'm still hanging out with the boys at their place. Though at the moment, me and Sam are just simultaneously scrolling on our phones on the couch while Colby starts editing the video.

I'm all curled up in nesting position in the corner of the couch, while Sam sits at the other end.

I get on Facebook and see my sister tagged me in something. When I see what it is, I slap my hand over my face and groan.

Sam looks up. "What?" he asks. I show him my phone.

It's a screenshot of the picture we posted earlier, and one of the video Lucy took of the bra thing, of me almost hugging a shirtless Sam. It says:
"So apparently this is what my sister is doing in LA...
I have questions."

Sam laughs. "Oh, wow."

I groan again. "You don't understand, this is Facebook, I have a ton of family on there. I'm gonna hear about this, I'm sure."

I scroll down to the comments, and I was right.

'What is she doing down there again?'

'Is that her boyfriend?'

'Which one is her boyfriend?'

'What is going on in this picture?'

Tagging my mom:

"Do you know about this?'

'This is kind of worrying, are you sure she's doing okay?'

I toss my phone on the couch. "Gah!!" I cover my face with my hands.

Sam looks at the screen.

"Hey, don't worry about it, don't worry about what they think. You know what's actually going on, you know you're not doing anything wrong. Your opinion is the only one that matters in this."

I sigh. "Thanks, Sam."

Colby stand up from the desk and stretches, making a very Colby sound.

"Dude, what time is it, I'm starving."

I look at my phone.

"Oh crap, it's after 8:00pm. I totally forgot about dinner."

"I didn't" Colby reminds me, as his stomach agrees.

"Well what do you guys want to do for dinner? Fable, you staying?" Sam asks.

"That depends. If it's not a problem, yeah. And I don't know, I could make dinner if you want."

"Really?" Colby says, his eyes growing wide.

"Yeah, I cook and bake for Lucy and I all the time." I say. They look at each other.

"Well, what would you want to make?" Sam asks.

"What do you want? You're not a fan of pizza, so that's out.

Hmm." I think about it. "Oh! I could make grilled chicken, and mac and cheese for the side?"

I suggest.

They readily agree, and we run down to the store to get what we need.

We walk into the store, and Sam grabs a cart. Colby hops in.

"Really?" Sam asks him.

Colby just nods. "Onward, noble steed!" he points the way.

Sam and I roll our eyes and smile, and I lead the way to the meat section.

I grab a pack of boneless skinless chicken breasts and put them in a bag, then hand it to Colby.

'Eww" He makes a face.
