( Tuesday Morning )

Corey slowly pops his head inside Colby's room and peeks through the open door and sees that his roommate is sound asleep in his bed. Knowing full well that Neena had left earlier that morning, because she had texted Devyn on her way downtown, Corey decides that he wants to check in on Colby after all the drama from the night before.

Devyn had only managed to get a few cryptic details from Neena about her incident with her psycho ex-boyfriend and Corey was worried for his friend. It would seriously suck if shit went wrong before it even got a chance to start out with Colby and Neena. Corey was hopeful, but he couldn't wait any longer to find out how the two of them were doing. He did a quick little prayer and then with his vlog camera in hand, he hit record. Corey crossed the room and plopped down on the bed beside Colby and used his back as a pillow and began his outro to his most recent vlog.

"Alright guys, that is it for today's vlog. I hope that you all enjoyed it. If you did, make sure to give it a big old thumbs up." Corey told his vlog camera.

Colby stirred and lifted his head to the side, following the sound of Corey's voice, trying to identify what was going on.

" ...and also make sure to comment your favorite part down below."

Colby lifted his head up and looked over his shoulder and seeing the back of Corey's head resting on his back was a complete quandary for him.

"What are you doing?" he asked Corey simply, but Corey completely ignored him and just continued on with his outro.

"Fan of the vlog goes to Jessica." Corey said to his camera.

Colby rubbed his eyes.

"Shout out to you Jessica. Shout out to Jessica, bro." Corey said to Colby as he lifted his camera so it focused right in on Colby's face. While rubbing his eye, Colby spoke into his hand.

"Shout out... to Jessica... " he stammered in a muffled voice.

"That's right, bro. Make sure to subscribe to my channel for more future videos and I will see you in the next one." Corey told his camera.

Colby looked up through squinted eyes at the camera lens and frowned, dropped his head back down on his pillow and whispered, "Fuck..." under his breath and then started to laugh.

"Corey Scherer... Deuces!!" Corey said dramatically and flashes two fingers making a peace-sign at the camera, while behind him, Colby flashed two limp fingers at Corey's camera, nods his head and makes a mocking face before plopping his head back down on his pillow in defeat.

"Corey... !" Colby moaned from inside his palm as he tried to hide from his roommate and his roommate's camera beneath his outstretched hand.

"What's up, bro?" Corey said to him and Colby groaned again. "How's things?" Corey asked and suddenly, Colby knows exactly what this is all about.

"Dude... ! Why... ?" Colby whined and Corey chuckled.

"Why? Because I'm your friend and friends don't let friends have drama with a new girl and not make sure they're okay! That's why!" Corey told him definitively.

"Oh my God... " Colby murmured under his breath.

"So spill, bro. What's up with you and Neena? Are you good, bro?" Corey asked and nudged Colby in the kidney with his elbow.

"Ahh!!" Colby cried out when the nudge turned into a tickle.

"What's goin' on with you and Neena, Colby? Huh?? Spill, dude, or I'm gonna lay on you until you tell me everything." he said and rubbed the back of his head into Colby's shoulder blade.
