This Wasn't Supposed to Happen

Colby

*one week later*

I wake up at like 4 in the morning to my phone going off yet again with a call. It's been the same caller, "unknown" for the past week, ever since Sam's post. Shortly after, there was a banging on the door.

I walk into Sam's room and wake him up, "Babe? you gotta get up, I need you asap." I say shaking him. he jolts up and i explain everything and he nods. He gets up and gets Corey and within 5 minutes, everyone's up.

"Okay, so why are we up so early?" Elton asks rubbing his eyes. "So, as you've seen I've been getting comments from Brennen and now I'm getting calls from him, but it comes in as unknown." I explain.

"So, Brennen is coming back after you? But why? Like, why now, why after everything's happened?" Aaron speaks up. "I honestly have no clue." (Mind you the banging keeps going the entire time, they just ignored it )

"Okay, who the fuck is banging on the door!" Aaron says getting angry. I followed him downstairs and he and opens the door to Brennen.

"You!" He says pushing him. "Have caused nothing but pain and trauma to this house." He says swinging at him, "You have no right showing up here!" He says swinging again. I finally grab him and pull him back. Brennen stands up and laughs. "You know I won't stop until I get what I want, and that's him." He says pointing to me.

"You know damn well that's not happening!" I say furiously. Next thing I know, police are surrounding the house. Sam walks to the door and grabs my hand. "You called, didn't you?" He nods and I hug him tight, then turn to Aaron. "Aaron, thank you for that, you didn't have to do that." I said hugging him.

We walk back into the house and go back upstairs. Everyone goes to bed, except me. I walk into Sam's room, "Sam? Can I sleep in here?" "Come here babe." He replies and lifts the blanket up for me. I get in bed and he covers me before pulling me  loser to him.

"I love you Colbear" he says kissing my cheek. "I love you too Sammy." I say grabbing his hand. I finally drift off into a peaceful sleep.

*next day*

It's about 5pm. We didn't really do anything today. I showered, Sam went food shopping with Elton, Aaron is on his game and Corey and Devyn left to Florida.

Now all I'm doing is sitting in the garage on the bean bag (ik what it's called trust me) doing literally nothing, not even scrolling on my phone. (They didn't turn it into Elton's merch spot)

I hear people walking in and don't even bother. After this week I'm just kind of done with it all right now.

"Colby? Where'd you go?" Elton yells. I stay silent, cover my face with the blanket, bundle up, and close my eyes acting like I'm sleeping. The door opens and whoever it is pulls the blanket back and covers my face back up. "Elton, he's in here asleep." ah, Sammy.

I hear another set of footsteps. Soon someone shakes me and I don't budge. I mean I am a heavy sleeper as everyone says.

"Colby, bud? You gonna get up anytime soon?" Elton asks shaking me again.

I don't get up, I just turn over.

"Just leave him be. After what recently happened this past week, this is the calmest I've seen him." Sam says and they walk away, closing the door.

I start thinking to myself, that no one would be in this mess if it wasn't for me. No one would have to watch over their shoulder. Sam would be safe and happy, but I dragged them into it.

I open the door to go to the kitchen and make sure no ones around. I go upstairs and grab my phone and then I go back down, grab my keys, and go for a drive.

Pulling out I put the windows and turned up my radio, not caring what was on, and went to my favorite abandoned place.

*Some odd time later*

I pull my car in to where no one can see it and get out. I walk in and up the stairs to the roof. I sit down and just stare at the sky. It's so beautiful at night.

*There's no way that someone else could make me ever-* I look and its Sam. I hit deny and turn my phone off.

A while later as I'm drifting off to sleep because of how relaxed I finally am, I hear a car. Peering over the other side of the roof I see Sam get out and the car pulls off, figures.

He walks this way and I know I'm in for it so I just close my eyes. I hear the roof and he nudges me. I jump as if I was sleeping. "What the hell! Can I just get a few to myself without being bothered?" I ask sitting up.

"Well when you don't answer your fucking phone, it's hard for people not to worry." He says clearly agitated. I roll my eyes and close my eyes again.

"Colby, please talk to me. You know that you need to talk about what's been going on. You can trust me baby." He says laying down and grabbing my hand.

"I'm just to tired if everyone around me having to watch their backs, or constantly worry about me, or be in harms way. I'm so tired of being strong when all I want to do if fall apart and not want to be put back together. I'm tired of the nightmares, I'm tired of everything Sam. I just want to close my eyes and never wake up." I explain, basically in tears at this point.

"We could never not worry about you. We no longer have to watch our backs, its over love. As for the rest, we are 100% here for you Colby, you know this. Whenever you need me, or someone else, we're here. Let's go home and we can talk about this more okay love?"

"I love you so much Sam, I really don't deserve you."

He smiles and helps me up. He then, grabs my keys and we make our way to my car (he followed me) and went home.
