Chapter 5

Let You Down by NF

    Waking up to the sound of weird noises was common, but waking up to the sound of silence was rare. I frowned and stretched, my joints cracking making me sign in relief. I slowly sat up and looked at the time. My phone read 12:02 pm. I slept in way too late.

Reluctantly, I got out of bed and moved towards my dresser to put on clean clothes. I'd take a shower later. After I put on his black ripped skinny jeans and a slightly big blue t-shirt, I grabbed my black vans and headed out of my room. I ran my fingers through my hair, not really caring about its appearance.

    As I carefully walked down the stairs, I rolled my sleeves up just a little. The house was completely silent which worried me. I walked towards the front windows to see if anyone was here, but no cars except my own were in driveway. "Huh.." I scoffed, a little mad that everyone left without telling me.

    I decided to text Sam asking where he and everyone else was and then I waited. While I waited, I laid on the couch and went onto Twitter. Looking through my mentions, I saw weird tweets coming from my fans. Something about a Brolby. I was confused, so I kept scrolling until I realized what it was. A blush crept on my face when I saw a picture, maybe a screenshot, from Elton's Suicide Bridge video. I was leaning close onto Brennen.

Brennen... shit! I went onto my DM's and typed in his name and found that he had replied. "Maybe tomorrow? Around 2ish? We can do it at mine or we can do it at yours. Doesn't really matter."

I checked when he sent the message; last night. I checked the time. 12:30. I texted him back, "Hey, sorry I fell asleep. We can do that! You can come here, nobody's home." I sent the message quickly before getting up and rushing back up the stairs and into Sam and I's shared bathroom.

    At 1:00 I was out of the shower and blow drying my hair while my towel rested around my hips. I shook the hair dryer around my head until I felt that my hair was dry enough. Quickly but carefully, I got dressed in a short sleeved maroon shirt that had a hoodie and some black ripped jeans. I played with my hair for a while, sighing in frustration when it wasn't working to well for me. I grabbed a black SnapBack from my closet and placed it on my head.

    It was 1:30 when I finally emerged from the bathroom and looked at my phone. I got two texts. One from Sam and the other from Brennen. I bit my lip as I opened Brennen's first. He was on his way.

    Butterflies filled my stomach and i began to chew on the inside of my cheek. Calm down Colby. Act like it's Sam or Corey. Or maybe even Aaron or Elton. I took a deep breath.

    I opened up Sam's message and read where everyone was. Sam was with his girlfriend, Aaron was working out with a friend and was going to spend the day with said friend, Corey and Devin went out on a date day, and Elton was filming with a few of his friends from Vlog Squad.

    I rolled my eyes and went into the kitchen. I lazily grabbed one of Aaron's banana's knowing he wouldn't eat them and began chewing at the fruit. I slowly but surely became disgusted with my own sounds and turned on some music. NF's Let You Down came on and I turned it up full blast. I finished the banana and threw the peel away.

    "Feels like we're on the edge right now. I wish that I could say I'm proud. I'm sorry that I let you down. Let let let you down. All these voices in my head get loud, I wish that I could shut them out. I'm sorry that I let you down. Let let let you down." I sang to myself.
