When I walked inside I fell to my floor and started to cry. The tears kept escaping no matter how hard I tried to get them to stop. After crying on my floor for a solid thirty minutes, I decided to get up and lay on my couch and watch some YouTube. YouTube had always distracted me when I needed it most. When I turned on my TV and went to YouTube a video automatically flashed up. It was Elton. I clicked the video and watched it as it played out. The video came to a point when Elton started to discuss TFIL. He told the camera about how he was ending it in a couple months and starting over. When he announced this I gasped. Elton loved TFIL! I couldn't believe that he even considered shutting it down. I scrolled through the comments and most of them were saying how they support him and will miss the channel.  At the end of the video I could see how upset he was about this desicion but for him it was nessacarry. I decided to give Elton a call to check up on him. I grabbed my phone to call him but I saw that my phone was almost dead so I went upstairs to plug it in while I was talking to Elton. I plugged it in and called Elton. After three rings he picked up.

Elton: Hey, Hon. Whats up?

Me: Hey, Elton. I was calling to check up on you. I saw your video you posted earlier.

Elton: Oh yeah. I'm fine, just wondering if it was the right thing to do.

Me: Of course it was if it was that or your mental hea-

Elton: Have you been crying?

Me: Um that doesnt matter right noe.

Elton: I'm coming over

Me: You really dont have to do that. I'm fine.

Elton: Be there soon.

Elton hung up before I could try to testify again. I sighed and looked over to my night stand. There I saw a picture of me and all the boys. It was a few years ago. It was the night that we all had a sudden pool party. I smiled at the memory. I studied the picture for awhile more, looking at the way we all smiled. The smiles weren't 'pose for the picture' kind of smiles, they were genuin 'i'm really happy right now' smiles. I looked to were me and Colby were. Elton had taken the picture and Corey and Aaron were being goofy but still smiling. Me and Colby? Well I was looking straight at the camera smiling my smile. Colby, though? He was staring straight at me, smiling the biggest smile I have ever seen. Everytime I looked at that picture I would remind myself about how much he loved me, even before we told each other. I ran my thumb over the frame I was holding in my hand. Wishing that I could just blink and be back to that moment, wishing that we could go back to the good old times. I sighed and hugged the picture.

"I miss you guys." I whispered to the picture.I was reffering to the old us. The people who were fun, goofy, dumb but yet so smart.

"I miss them too." A voice said. I gasped and looked up to my door. Elton was leaning on my door frame smiling at me. I smiled back and got up to hug him. He gladly accepted it.

"How are you doing, kid?" He asked.

"Not the best in the world." I said. He pulled back and looked into my eyes. Elton could always see my emotions through my eyes. When he looked into them I tried to cover the hurt with happiness, but he knew. He sighed once he knew.

"Him, again?" He asked. I nodded trying to choke back the tears.

"What happened?" He asked me. I explained what had happened a few hours ago.

"You quit?" He asked. I nodded. Elton was shocked. It was understandable. I had loved my job and would give anything to keep working there but it wasnt possible for me. Not after realizing that I still love Colby but he has moved on.

"You should talk to him." Elton said. I rolled my eyes.

"It can't solve anything this time, Elton." I said. He scoffed at me. I looked at him confused.

"What? It can't. He loves someone else and I cant keep being his friend while I'm still in love with him." I said. I looked back to the floor and tried to keep a tear from escaping. Elton grabbed my chin and made me look back at him. I sniffled a little bit.

"Hon, it breaks my heart to see you like this and I know how you feel." He said. I couldnt stop the onslaught of words from coming out.

"No you dont. You couldnt possibly know how this feels! Its like someone keeps taking my heart out of my chest and smashing it then putting it back and repeating. It hurts so much, Elton. You dont know how this feels." I said with tears rolling down my face. Elton sighed and we sat in silence for a little while. After a while of just silence surronding us Elton spoke again.

"Me and Amanda broke up." He said with a sigh. I turned to him, shocked. Last thing I knew, he and Amanda were deeply in love.

"Elton I-" I was about to apologize when he interrupted me.

"Its fine. I know your sorry I just don't want to talk about it right now. Thing is, Nancy, it's too late for me and Amanda. We couldn't make it, but you and Colby? To be honest, I have never seen two people that were a better fit for each other. There is still hope for you guys because no matter how much you guys want to deny it, you will always love each other. And that's fact." He explained. I sighed. I knew he was right but i didn't want him to be.

"I'm not saying to go back running into his arms and exclaiming your love for him. I'm just saying don't cut him out. Don't stop being friends with him until you stop loving him, cause you guys will never be friends again." Every time Elton talked, he was always right. Well most of the time. I sighed and hugged him.

"Thanks, Elton." I said.

"No problem, kid." He replied. We hung out for the rest of the night, talking, eating, watching movies. It was something that I really needed. The whole night I couldn't get Colby off my mind. Elton was right.
