Colby's Point of View

They sat on the couch, staring at me in confusion and partial anger.

"You have to be lying."

"Why wouldn't you tell us?"

Everyone talked except him.

He stormed out of the room, pushing me out of his way.

"Colby, it is okay. He will get over it." Amanda comforted me. "Colby? Colby?"

Amanda's voice pulled me out of my daydream and made me realize I was actually doing this. I was actually going to tell them.

"I can't do this." I tried to run.

Sam blocked me and told me to just get it over with. That if I was nervous, to just picture everyone in their underwear.

What he didn't know, I have been doing that to one person for a while. I love this person. I am in love with them and I always have been.

"Okay." I walked back over to them. "I need to tell you guys something."

I paused. I don't know if I can do this.

"I'm gay."

They all stared at me in confusion.

"It's true." I told them.

"Is there someone?" Corey asked, flaunting himself playfully.

"Yes." I looked towards Sam.

His face turned red as they all looked where I was staring and realized who I was referring to.

"Seriously?!" Sam screamed.

I tried to walk towards him, I tried to apologize for my feelings getting in the way.

"Get away from me!" Sam screamed in anger as his blonde hair fell in front of his face and he ran upstairs.

"Colby. It's okay. Everything is going to be fine." Elton and Amanda said while everyone else went to find Sam.

All I could think about while they were trying to comfort me was how cute he was. Even though he was about ready to kill me, he was cute. His dimples when he was screaming, his rosy red cheeks. I can't help it.

I'm in love.

"Colby? Where are you going?" Elton yelled, following me up the staircase.

"I'm going away."

"Where the fuck are you going?" He grabbed my hoodie, trying to pull me back.

"I am leaving. I can't be here. Scotty and Kristen have an extra room, I will crash there and come back for the rest of my stuff later."

I entered my bright, sticky note covered room, grabbing everything I need for now.

"You can't leave." Devyn said as a tear fell from both of our eyes.

"Yes I can. Watch me."

I ran down the stairs as fast as I could and hopped into my old car. I looked up to the window for Sam's room before pulling out and saw him staring at me, crying slightly. Once he noticed me looking back at him, he immediately walked away and shut the curtains.

I drove as fast as I could, wanting to get far from that house as soon as possible.

Once I arrived at the house, I grabbed my bag and went up to knock on the door.

"Colby?" Todd questioned as he opened the door to the whole vlog crew sitting in the living room.

"Guys, can I please stay in your extra room for a while? I will help with rent and all it's just that I need some place to stay." I begged.

"Sure, but where's Elton?" Scott asked me.

"What do you mean?"

"He said he was on his way over here. Then again, he said that you might get here first."

Out of nowhere, Elton came up from behind me and pushed me onto one of the occupied couched, landing on top of Kristen.

"Dude! Get off my girlfriend!" Scotty laughed, and I did what I was told.

"Tell them."

"No."

"Now." Elton demanded.

"I'm gay. I like..."

"No."

"Fine. I love Sam. He flipped out and told me to get away from him. So I came here, and now I am staying here. Happy?"

"Very." Elton said before thanking them for letting me stay.

"No problem, Link needs a new chew toy." Jason laughed while pointing out all the tiny bite marks on his ankles.

Sam's P.O.V.

Seven years. Seven fucking years. All down the drain.

All because of him.

All because he was too scared to tell me the fucking truth.

"Sam, what's going on?" Aaron asked as he stood at my doorway. "Is everything okay?"

"No. Everything is not okay. Nothing at all is okay. That bitch lied to me for god knows how long and when he tells me he's gay the goddamn person he says he likes is fucking me. So, no. Nothing is okay and it is all because that bitch wouldn't tell me the truth."

"What the fuck is wrong with you? You have always been supportive of anyone and everything and the one time that changes is with your best friend?! Fuck you!" Aaron screamed at me.

Pissing Elton or Corey off is one thing, but I have never pissed off Aaron. He is super nice and never acts like this.

Too late to fix it, oh fucking well.
