-Eva-

"Eva, what's going on?" Kat asked me.

She had just made me some coffee. Just the way I like it. She knows me so well. She knew I'd need this to get through the night.

"Colby and I had a fight." I said. I left all the details out. For now.

"Is everything okay? Between you and Colby?" Kat asked me. I shook my head.

"Not even close to it Kat." I said quietly. Tears threatening to pour out from my eyes.

"What happened? You two seemed okay when I left yesterday morning." Sam said. His face suddenly changed. Almost ad if he remembered something.

"Did you tell him?" Sam asked me. I shook my head.

"I didn't get the chance." I whispered. A tear finally escaping my left eye.

I felt it fall down my cheek. It dropped into my hand, and Sam reached down and wiped it away.

"What happened Eva?" Sam asked me.

He grabbed my chin and tilted my face up so I was looking at him. He was kneeling on the floor in front of me. Kat sitting aside of me rubbing my back.

"He came home drunk. Covered in hickey's." I said. Finally revealing why I was so upset with him.

I honestly don't even know if I'm upset with him. Or if I'm just upset that he doesn't understand how much I care about him. He doesn't know how I feel.

"Oh Eva. I'm so sorry." Kat said. She continued to rub my back as more tears fell from my eyes.

"I don't know what to do Sammy. I hate feeling like this." I cried.

Sam wrapped his arms around me. Kat did too.

I was engulfed in their warmth. And it felt good. But it would have felt better if it was Colby hugging me.

He always used to. But now? It's like he doesn't even consider me a friend anymore.

He'd rather go out and party with everyone else. I'm never invited. He always just says next time Eva, I promise.

Next time never comes.

I always just sit at home waiting for him to walk in the door so I know he's okay. No matter how late, I stay up until he's home and in bed. Safe and sound.

"You're more than welcome to stay here until this all blows over hun. He'll figure his crap out eventually." Kat said comfortingly.

I let out a sigh and shook my head.

"I don't know if it will Kat. He's just getting worse. He drove home completely wasted tonight. He could have gotten a dui. Or worse. He could have killed himself for being so stupid." I said. Frustration clear in my voice.

"I'll talk to him later Eva. I'll take Brennen with me. Maybe we can talk some sense into him." Sam said.

I just nodded my head. I'm not sure of what else to say.

"I'm worried about him too. And I'll do whatever I can to bring the old Colby back." Sam said.

Him and Kat headed upstairs to bed since it's like 5am now.

I wanna say that I'll be crashing on the couch. But the last thing I wanna do right now is sleep.
