Assume (Solby)

Chapter 11

(Sam POV)

We walked into the house which was quiet. Everyone, oddly, was already asleep. It was about 10 pm.

We snuck up to my room, so not to be loud and wake everyone up.

"Dude, you sure you are fine wearing that? You could borrow some of my stuff-"

"No, no. It's fine. I'll be fine." Colby said slipping his soaked jacket off.

I nodded and sat on my bed. He sat in the chair at my desk.

"So, you said you wanted to talk?" He asked.

"Oh, yeah. Well. I have been thinking about something." I said.

He looked at me, "What's wrong?" He asked, concern dripping from his voice.

"I uh, I was with Kat. We watched a movie and she fell asleep which gave me time to think. And I realized that maybe I'm not in love with her anymore." I said.

He nodded, "Why do you feel like that?" He asked.

"I don't.. I don't know. I still am thinking about-" I stopped.

I looked Colby in the eyes. Honestly, it was like looking into a deep blue Ocean. I quickly realized something looking into his eyes.

No. No. No. WHY.

"What?" Colby asked looking at me with a confused face.

"N-nothing." OH MY GOD.

"Dude, you can tell me." He said softly. HOLY SHIT.

"I just think I like someone else." I AM GONNA THROW UP.

"Oh, well, if you like that person more then Kat and they like you back, maybe you should you know, go with who you love." Colby said.

Such good advice, good if it wasn't for me. Because in my case, I COULD RUIN MY FRIENDSHIP.

"Thanks, that's good advice." I said.

"Hey, by any chance can I just sleep over?" Colby asked suddenly.

"Yeah, sure." I said.

"Cool." He said, "Um, but where am I gonna sleep?"

I thought for a second, sleeping downstairs wouldn't be a good idea. You would either get woken up very early or get pranked. His room was empty. I guess we could share a bed, we used to all the time when we would travel.

"We could just share a bed." I said. Sharing a bed. With Colby. No big deal.

"Your, uh, cool with that?" He asked.

"Yeah, totally." I said.

"Okay. I probably won't even sleep much anyway." He said shrugging and pulling his phone out.

"Why?" I asked.

He shrugged, "I just don't sleep much."

"Since when?"

"I don't know." He said looking around for a second.

I nodded again and grabbed my phone.

The next 30 maybe 40 minutes were peaceful. We both were on our phones, occasionally showing each other funny stuff and laughing or just talking about social media drama and how stupid it was. We never put our drama on social media, literally. As far as the internet knows me and Colby just stopped talking with no reason. We never made a video.

Colby yawned and put his phone down.

"Tired?" I asked.

"Kinda." He said shrugging.

I moved onto a side of the bed, "You can lay down." I said.

He nodded and flopped onto my bed.

"Wait, are your clothes still wet?" I asked.

"Maybe." He said smirking.

"You ass get off my bed and change!" I said pushing him off.

He laughed. "Okay. Got anymore of mine or can I just borrow yours?"

"I'll get you some of mine." I said getting up.

I grabbed him some sweatpants and a t-shirt out of my closet. I threw them at him.

He caught them and walked out to the bathroom.

I grabbed some of my clothes and changed in my closet.

I was really tired now. Sleeping felt like a good idea. I laid down and waited for Colby to get back.

I closed my eyes and sighed. I heard the bathroom door open and Colby walk in, and turn off the light.

He laid next to me.

"You awake?" He asked.

"Mmm, kinda." I said.

"Thanks for letting me stay over."

"No problem. You're my best friend, why wouldn't I?" I said.

He smiled, "Yeah."

It was quiet for a minute. "Goodnight Colby." I said feeling myself start to doze off.

"Goodnight Sam." He said back quietly.

And I fell asleep with a smile on my face.

-

I woke up. I know it was about 3 maybe 4 am. I don't know why I woke up, but I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night. I turned to my side and saw Colby, curled into a ball. His hair fell nicely over his face. He looked peaceful.

This isn't creepy, is it? You know, staring at your c- I mean best friend while he sleeps?

Okay, there is the issue. The big no no sitting in my mind. Because I realized something I wish I hadn't.

I may or may not have feelings for Colby.

I pushed myself away from him thinking about it.

I'm not good at telling feelings apart sometimes and this is one of the times. He is just so, amazing. Do I want to be his best friend, or his boyfriend? God, it's so confusing.

I just need, to ignore it. Yes. I am gonna stare at my wall and ignore it. I turned over and closed my eyes.

I felt myself getting more tired. Finally, I think I fell asleep.

But I fell asleep thinking of Colby.
