Sam
"Colby, wait come back!" I say as he runs out of my room into his. I plop down onto my bed and cry into my pillow. I walked in as Colby was filming a video, I saw him crying, I just wanted to know why but..he won't tell me, he keeps saying he's fine. I hear Colby's door unlock, I get up and wipe my tears away. I open his door and see nobody, but I did here a slight sob from the bathroom. I walk over to the bathroom and try to open it, it was locked. "Who's there." I hear colby say through tears. "It's sam, please open the door, I wanna know what's wrong colby." I say insisting, he opens the door and slides down the bathroom wall. I gasp when I look at his wrist. "Colby! Wha-why the hell did you do that!" I yell in fear, he just stared at me with a look of tired. I start to cry. I go over to him and cup my hands to catch the blood dripping from two deep vertical cuts on his wrist. "COREY! CALL 911 COLBY'S BLACKING OUT!" I yell, I cry as my heart beats 20 time faster than normal. Corey comes rushing in, "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED!" Corey yells in confusion. "I don't know did you call the paramedics?" I ask. "Yes there on there way." Corey says. I nod my head and look back at colby, I hug him tightly, crying in his almost lifeless shoulder. I hear him take a deep breath and I feel his heart beat slower, I cry harder than I ever have in my entire life. "NO PLEASE YOUR EVERYTHING I HAVE!" I scream as Corey pulls me away from my best friends body as the take him away from me. I gasp for air and cry again, I run away from Corey and the other roommates into my room. I grab my hair and cry harder. "UGH, COLBY WHY DID YOU DO THIS, I CANT FUCKING HANDLE IT! WHAT DID I DO TO YOU!" I scream to myself in my room, my words echo off the walls into the hallway. "Sam! Calm down, he's gonna be ok, the cuts weren't that deep." Elton says walking into my room, sitting next to me, patting my back. "I'm taking down all the doors, even the bathroom ones, until colby is okay, I don't want anyone doing this again." He says. I look at him and roll my eyes, walking out of my room, slamming the door. I go into Colbys room and almost slip on a piece of paper, I pick it up and sit on his couch.

If your reading this, you better be sam. Okay if your sam, I want you to know that your my best friend and that will never change. You help me when life gets hard, even though I might not act like I care, I do, honestly. Your the one who got me where I am today and made me think why life is so special. I know that I say things like, oh I wanna die and life sucks but, it doesn't, because your in it. Sam, I know that I might not tell you things sometimes, but it's usually for a reason. I know this is kind of cheesy but whatever. If your actually reading this right now, I'm probably either dead, or in the hospital because somebody bothered to help me when they saw my blood on the floor.

Love you bro.
Colby

A smile crept onto my face as I read, up until the very last part. This was so unlike him, and all because of a secret none of us know. I stuff the note into my sweatshirt pocket and drive to the hospital.

When I get to the hospital I follow Corey to Colbys room. I cry, hoping he's alive, I get to the room and walk in. I see Colby laying down on the bed, two stitched up cuts on his wrists. My phone goes off, it was Kat.
Katrina❤️
Hey, I walked into the house and nobody was home where are you guys? And btw there's something that looks like blood on the floor.

I hold my head in my hand and text back, taking a deep breath.

Uh, it is blood, everyone is ok though were at the hospital now just go back home. I'll pick you up when we leave.

Katrina❤️
Oh...ok. Please text me when your out, I wanna know what happened if you wanna tell me.

Ok.

I turn off my phone and look at my best friend's barely alive body, tears start streaming down my face, I sniffle. I hear a little whine, colby puts out his arm and makes grabby hands at me. I grab his hand and he pulls me closer. "Your awake!" I scream. I smile as he stares into my eyes, one day, just one day, I may just have to kiss him.
