Forever?

Never let go

Sam's POV

My heart is literally beating out of my chest as I speed toward the bridge. It may be only a 25 minute drive from the house to the bridge, but Colby has been there for at least three hours and I have to get there fast. What the hell am I going to do if I get there and he had already jumped or isn't even there? My best friend, and well the person I fell in love with. I realized I was in love with him after Katrina and I broke up (I know they really didn't break up but go with it). I found out she was cheating on me and I went to Colby for help. We are each other's strong point. How the hell could I let this happen? God Damnit how am I ever going to make it up to him? I know I'm crying at this point, but why? I'm not the one who's hurt. My only hope is that I get to the bridge in time.

COLBYS POV
Is anyone even coming? I've been here for hours. HOURS! And yet I'm still here by myself. Maybe they gave up. I don't know...
Out of everyone I thought that Sam would be here by now. I mean he's my best friend. Even though he doesn't feel the same I will always love him. All the way to my death, which could be coming sooner than later. I check my phone, ignoring all the texts and phone calls from my friends, and check the time 3:49. I'm going to give them until 4:30 and if they're not here that just might be the end for me.

Sam's POV
I'm 5 minutes out. I'm going 75. Nothing is going to keep me in between me and Colby at this moment. I wouldn't be able to live if he was gone. I look ahead and I can see the bridge I'm so close. I can almost hear the screams of people who have died, trying to call my best friend to his death, but I will not let them get him. Once I pull up to the bridge I slam my car into park and hop outta the car slamming the door. I look over towards the bridge and I see a dark shadow sitting on the bars with their legs hanging over the edge. As soon as I get a glimpse of the person I know it's the one I've been looking for.
"COLBY!!!" I scream as I run towards him. He turns and looks towards me. I can tell from the look in his eyes, behind the tears and the snot, that he wasn't going to think twice before jumping. I run over to him and beg him to get down.
"Colby please just get down here. I know what you were going to do! Don't do it please!! I can't live without you. And I'm sorry!"
Colby looks at me with sad eyes, fresh tears running down his face as he slowly climbs down the beams and eventually lands next to me. Without even thinking I walk towards him and wrap him up in a hug, in which he clings back to me as if I was his lifeline and begins to sob. He cries for the fact that he was going to jump, he cries for the fact that he had just realized that Sam and everyone still needed him.
Narrator POV
What Sam doesn't know is that Colby is crying the most because he broke a promise he made years ago. A promise he made to his best friend. A promise to always go to him when he felt like cutting. The oversized hoodie hid the new scars that were still sluggishly bleeding on Colby's arms.
Colby's POV
Don't let him see. Don't let him see. That's what kept running through my head. He'll leave again if he sees. Why did I do that. Now he has a reason to leave. He's going to be so disappointed in me. When Sam pulls outta the hug he grabbed my face with both hand and looked me in the eyes and said to me with tears running down his face,"Don't ever do that to me Colby Brock. I can't loose you. I can't loose the love of my life." I stared back at him, bottom lip trembling because he had to be lying. Why would someone love someone like me? "No no Colbs don't think like that I love you so much." I realized that I had just said all of that out loud.

Sam's POV
"Why would someone like someone like me?" When Colby said those words I felt my heart break. What does he mean? He's perfect to me.
So I replied to him that I loved him and he just looked at me. I know that Colby didn't love me back but that's what he needed to hear. "I- you- I mean you really l-love me Sam?" The way he said those couple words tore my heart apart. He asked me as though I was joking with him, trying to hurt him more. "Of course." Was all I said to him. I pulled him into a hug and I could hear him whisper that he loved me back. I know that it was going to be hard getting him outta this, but I couldn't let him hurt. When I moved to wrap my hands around his waist I felt something on my arm. Oh God. I hope that isn't what I think it is. I look at Colby and then I pull away. Grabbing his arm I roll up his sleeve to see blood dripping down his arm.
"Oh God Colby. What have you done to yourself?" He looked up at me with tears in his eyes and begged me to forgive him, not to leave him. "Sam please don't leave I didn't mean it I'm so sorry it just happened it's not that bad I swear please Sam don't go." I shushed him and pulled him towards the car. We'd come get his later. We have way more important things to deal with at the moment. I sent a quick text to Elton and Corey.(italics Sam underline is Corey and Elton)
I found him
Oh Good. How is he???~E
Not good Elton not good at all.
Did he like cut? ~C
What do you think? I gtg were on our way home I'll talk to you then

Narrator POV
And with that Sam and Colby drove towards the house. Sam knew that him and his friends were going to have a hard time getting Colby back to his usual self. But now Sam and Colby had realized their mutual feelings in the relationship and realized that being more friends could work. And better yet help Colby.
