"Hey Casee" he says shifting awkwardly
"Hey" I say still stunned but now it's just starting to get awkward
"Can we talk outside" He says and I look up to Colby
"Ya sure, I guess" I say letting go of Colby's hand that I didn't realize I was holding and walking outside
"Hey Casee" He says sitting down by the tree
"Hi Carter" I say still standing awkwardly
"How have you been" He says looking down at the ground
"Better after I moved to LA" I say looking at the door hoping Colby will come out
"Listen we need to talk, I know this is probably extremely awkward and kind of weird having your ex boyfriend who cheated on you come to your house in LA, knock on your door and just ask to talk."
"Yep" I say unamused "But continue"
"Casee I am extremely sorry for what I did to you back in New York and I don't know how I can make it up to you"
"Well you can't, because after your dating for a year then finding you lip locked with another girl, then her starting rumors about me, getting everybody to hate me, then me starting to cut, FEELING USELESS! Like I don't deserve to be in this world...it kinda sucks and it's something that Sorry can't fix" I say tearing up
"I didn't mean for any of that to happen Casee, you know that"
"Ya, well it did happen and there's no changing that now, plus what are you even doing here" I say sitting down
"Actually I came because my girlfriend flew me out to LA" he says as I turn around suddenly interested
"Girlfriend?"
"Uh yea, is there a problem, I mean you and your boyfriend seem happy"
"Boyfriend?!" I say shocked "Colby is not my boyfriend, we're roommates"
"Oh ok" Carter says looking relieved
"Ya" I say as an awkward silence falls over us
"Well I should go" Carter says checking his phone "it was nice to see you Casee"
"Ya you too" I say as Carter opens the gate and starts to walk towards his car. I shut the gate and start walking inside
"Hey" Colby says coming up behind me "You good?" He says stepping in front of me
"Yep everything is fine" I say in a reassuring tone
"Ok, let me know if you need anything" he says with a wink and starts walking away
We party for a while before the cops show up and give us a ticket for a noise complaint and everyone leaves. After everyone's out of the house I go up to my room, take off my makeup, put on a hoodie and some shorts, put my earbuds in and listen to My Blood by twenty one pilots

After a little while I get a text from Colby
Colby 🖤: Hey can we talk in my room asap Casee: Ya sure I'll be over in like 30 seconds Colby 🖤: Sounds good
I set my phone down and go to Colby's room
"Hey"
"Hey" I say walking in and closing the door
"Sit down" Colby says patting the spot next to him, so I go over and sit down
"Who was that that showed up tonight"
"That was Carter, my ex boyfriend" I say looking down
"Wanna talk about it?" Colby says blue eyes meeting mine
"Ya" I say as I start telling him about what happened with Carter and my past
After story
"Wow Casee, honestly what an asshole forget him" Colby says pulling me into a hug
"I did until he showed up again tonight" I say running my hand over my wrist, feeling all of the bumps of my scars from the past
"Do you wanna sleep here tonight I mean it is 4 am"
"Like in here with you" I say kind of shocked
"I don't want you to feel alone" He says laying down patting the spot next to him
I go over with him and lay down as he pulls the comforter over both of us
"I don't want to be alone" I say as Colby wraps his arms around my waist and pulls my body close to his
"You never will be" Colby whispers in my ear as we both fall into a deep sleep
