Assume (Solby)

Chapter 13

(Sam POV)

Me and Aaron were in the kitchen. I had just got done packing for my trip up to Northern Cali for tomorrow. Elton, Heath, Colby, and I were going. Last time we all went on a trip was forever ago. It's gonna be fun. Plus, I get to spend more time with Colby. That's gonna be awesome. I missed spending almost everyday with him. Colby is just someone who makes you feel comfortable around. He never makes fun of you. I mean, except for that night.

Nevermind that, I am in a good mood today. Happy. I am excited for our trip!

"So, you've been to Gualala?" I asked.

"Oh yeah, it's a nice peaceful beach town. There is this amazing beach there and, you'll love it." Aaron said.

I nodded. Furthest up North I have been in Cali was San Francisco. I haven't really been to a little beach town before. It sounds fun. I love the beach.

"So, Colby is coming?" Aaron asked.

"Yeah! Me, him, Elton and Heath."

"Cool. I would've went but I am not big in traveling, plus I've already been there."

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.

Colby: Hey, I thought since Elton was coming to pick you up at your house I should just come spend the night.

Sam: yeah, that's a good idea. Then we could just leave in the morning

Colby: cool, I'll text Elton and I'll be over in about an hour

Sam: see ya later

Colby: bye

"Colby is spending the night." I said to Aaron.

"Awesome."

"Jake's back!" Corey yelled from upstairs.

Jake moved in a few months ago. For the past month though he had been out in Hawaii with his Aunt. He was helping his her move there and ended up staying for awhile, he starts collage in a few days now that he is back.

"Jake!" I yelled as he walked through the door.

"Hey guys! The celebrity is here." He said laughing and walking in.

"How was Hawaii?" Aaron asked.

"It was really fun. I got very tan. Sorry for leaving for forever though, wanted to spend some time with my cousins." Jake said.

Jake was nice. Me and Colby always used to hang out with him.

"Oh, Jake, I'm actually leaving tomorrow for a TFIL trip." I said.

"Bro I just got back and you are leaving me?" We both laughed a bit.

"Yeah, I'm going on a trip with Heath, Elton, and Colby. Colby will actually be over in about an hour." I said.

Oh yeah, Jake doesn't know.

"Wait. Colby Brock? Your ex best friend?" He asked.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot, me and Colby are cool now." I said.

"He comes over all the time." Corey said dragging luggage down the stairs. He is leave for Florida in two hours.

"That's awesome! I can't wait to catch up with him." Jake said with a smile, "Well, I gotta bring all my stuff in." He turned around and went back to get his stuff.

I nodded and headed and went towards the stairs. I gotta finish packing before Colby comes. Because when he gets here I will totally forgot about packing.

I opened my door and felt a soft breeze flow through the room. I suddenly realized something. I gotta talk to Kat, I haven't even told her I was leaving tomorrow!

I grabbed my phone and called.

"Kat?" I asked as soon as she answered.

"Hey babe, What's up? You haven't texted or called me in like, 3 days." She said.

"Yeah, I'm really sorry. I've been busy." That's a lie. "I am actually going on a kinda long trip tomorrow for TFIL. I'm really sorry I forgot to tell you I feel horrible."

"... Is Colby going?" She asked.

"Y-yeah. You sound sad, Kat I'm so sorry-"

"Sam, I'm breaking up with you."

The words that killed me.

"I- Wh- I-"

But the words that came after killed me more.

"I know you were just using me." I hate that word. "I know you don't love me." She may be right, but I don't want to leave her. "You are in love with someone else and I know it. Never talk to me again. EVER." She yelled. The line went dead.

I felt myself just give in. My lungs felt like they were collapsing. I shook as tears found their way down my face.

I really do ruin everyone's lives, don't I? I really just use everybody, don't I? My fault. Everything is my fault. My fault. MY FAULT.

knock knock

I turned to the door, which was now opened a crack and revealing brown hair and concerned blue eyes peaking in. Bags behind him. Colby.

"Sam?" He asked.

"... I'm a horrible person." I whispered looking down.

He closed the door behind him and ran over to me, immediately hugging me.

"What's wrong? I never hear you talk like this about yourself." He whispered the last part.

"She broke up with me. It's my fault. I.. I used her." I said, my breath hitching because of my quiet sobbing. I am supposed to be happy. I am supposed to be hanging out with Colby, now that he is here, and talking about what we might do tomorrow. But instead I am crying in his arms. But I feel so safe in his arms..

"It's not your fault. You didn't use anyone. If anything, it's her loss." He said. I nodded and tried to calm down.

Now that I was thinking a bit clearer, I thought about how she said I was in love with someone else. Which, was true. But how did she know? That's what I want to know. 

Why am I so effected? Because for a short time she was the only thing I had. For awhile, she was my world. I was once in love with her, but I moved on. I tried to hold onto the feelings, and couldn't. I always had someone else in the back of my mind...

"I love you.." I softly whispered. So quiet I barely heard it myself.

He'll hear it louder one day.. I hope.

I just want everything to stay okay for at least a day. Everything always goes wrong for some reason.
