COLBY BROCK - thursday

"lexi just doesn't understand." i told brennen.

"i know, that's why you have to tell her." brennen said.

"brennen i would rather end this friendship now then tell her i tried to kill myself over one of her best friends, sam golbach." i said while looking him dead in the eye.

he shook his head and walked into his class.

i hate this, i hate sam, i hate that i like lexi, i hate that she even started talking to me.

i walked into my class and sat down. i watched as students came through the door. aaron then walked in and sat next to me.

"hey bro, do you think lexi wants us to bring food to her house tomorrow?" aaron asked.

aaron was always really nice.

"i would ask her, but i'm assuming the more food the better."

he chuckled, "you're probably right."

the teacher then walked in. he started talking nonsense but i just smiled to myself.

maybe i don't hate that i like lexi, or that she started talking to me. it was nice to have more friends. i mean brennen and jake are great, but aaron, corey, devyn, kat and lexi, they are great people, it just sucks that they are so close with sam.

LEXI GRAFF

"sam, listen to me." i said as we were sitting in his car, we skipped last hour. "you have to be nice to him, he is a great guy."

"i don't care, he is annoying." he was mad.

"no, you're annoying, you're an asshole, you put him through hell. all his life, he had dreaded seeing you everyday. he is completely scared of you. colby goes into this shell when he sees you." i yelled at sam.

"like i said, I DON'T CARE!"

"SAM HE TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF BECAUSE OF YOU!! REMEMBER YOUR SISTER, REMEMBER HOW SHE GOT BULLIED SO BAD SHE TRIED TO KILL HERSELF, AND WAS ALMOST THERE, REMEMBER HOW YOU FOUND HER LAYING ON THE FLOOR IN THE BATHROOM, AND HOW SHE HAD CUT WRISTS. YOU CRIED AND DIDN'T COME TO SCHOOL FOR DAYS. THAT WAS COLBY, ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!" i yelled and he got silent. he didn't move, or say anything.

i watched as sam closed his eyes and put his hands over his face. he started to quietly cry.

"hey, hey sam it's okay." i tried to calm him.

"no, no it's not, lexi, i almost killed a kid. i almost killed colby. im just like my sisters bully, i hate myself. what did i do? why did i do it?" he cried harder.

"sam, calm down, we can resolve this, tomorrow, treat colby like he's one of your friends, treat him like you do to corey and aaron." i softly smiled at sam.

"you were right, i'm an asshole, and i'm sorry."

i hugged sam, well tried, since we were in his car.

"love you sam, you're a great guy, you just have to show him." i told sam.
