COLBY
I wake up and see Sam laying next to me, I'm happy he came over, now I have an escape from my house. Sam rolls over and his blue eyes open, he looks over at me, I smile, he laughs. "Morning, we got school." He says, my heart fell, I didn't like school, I got bullied, but at least now I have someone to protect me. I sit up, since sam did, we get up to get ready. "You need anything, like—clothes or.. I don't know." He asks. "I need my backpack, it's at my house, I'll go and grab it real quick." I say, ready to leave, he stops me. "Wait....I wanna go with you, I don't want you getting hurt." He says, it was weird to have a person who cared, I sit back down on the bed and wait for him to get ready. "You know, you don't have to be nice to me." I say, he looks at me and sits on the bed, he puts his arm around me. "Colby, I actually wanna be your friend, I know many people don't, but I do, I care about you." He says, I look down at the floor and smile, he picks up my chin and looks at me. "Why do you care?" I ask, people never care about me, they always walk right past me. "Because I always see you walking home from school alone, and in the halls of school, I see you get beat up and get pushed around, I was just too scared to go up to you, but now I'm not, your my friend." He says, I giggle, he smiles, I like this kid. "Let's go get your stuff." He says, he takes my hand, which was weird, but whatever, and we go to my house.

I go inside with sam behind me, "Hey, you should stay out here, it may get rough." I say, he looks at me and shakes his head. "I'm going with you." He says, I shrug my shoulders and continue walking in. My dad comes up to me and throws my backpack at me. "Here little fag, take your book bag, I'm happy you weren't home last night, without you and your mother here it's peaceful." He says, I ignore him and walk out, slamming the door behind me. "He's so mean!" Sam says. "Yeah I know, it doesn't phase me anymore, I'm used to it." I say, he intertwines our hands, again I just go with it, I guess it's just a normal thing for friends to do, a couple kids look at us and laugh. "Ew! The emo boy has a boyfriend!" They yell, I ignore them, little did they know, Im not even gay, they were seniors, one class up from us. We get to the school and walk inside, I scavenge the halls for my bully, Brennen, he was a tall brown headed football player. I see him down the hall, I take Sam's hand and move over to the corner, I hear his voice getting closer. "What are we hiding from?" He says, I immediately put my hand over his mouth. "Shh! I'm gonna get punched!" I say, I felt my eyes start to water, I look up and see Brennen above me, takes my hand off of Sam's mouth and pushes him away, then pushing me up against the locker. "AWW LITTLE EMO HAS  A BOYFRIEND!" They scream, he punches me in the face, sam comes over. "Hey! Stop it!" Sam says, pushing Brennen away from me, he succeeds. Brennen gets up and swings at sam, he ducks, sam kicks Brennen in the stomach and he falls to the ground, he grabs my hand and we run away. "Thanks for doing that, you didn't have to." I say, we walk into the bathroom and sit on the floor, he grabs a paper towel and wipes the blood off of my face. "I did it because I care colby, I really do, I'm not gonna let my best friend get stepped all over." He says, throwing the paper towel in the trash, "you consider me as your best friend?" I ask, he comes over with another paper towel and smiles. "Yeah." He says, continuing to wipe blood off of my face, I smile and hug him, sam pulls me into a tighter hug.
