Irrelevant

Chapter 3

I watched Colby as he walked in and ignored everyone around him. His eyes focused on the counter  where you order your drink. I dont think he recongnized me. After he ordered, he didnt sit at my table but at a different one. I sighed and shook my head. What a dumbass. I walked up to him and tapped on his shoulder. "Can I help y- Catherine?" He stood up and faced me. "Shh... My name is Aryn..." I said. I warpped my arms around his neck. "Why'd you change it?" "hold on.. why are you guys down here in Cali?" I asked. He looked at me then looked towards the door. "Why dont we go outside." He grabbed his drink and pulled m eoutside. "Sam tracked you down after you and Jake left. He wanted to go on a date wiht you to try andwork things out and... he threatened Jake... He said if he didnt set you two up on a blind date, that he would do something to either you or Jake... I couldnt let that happen so..." "So what?" "So I helped Sam track you down..." Colby put his head down. I looked away from him and shook my head. "Is that why jake was been all-" "Upset? Yea.... That and hed madly in love with you." My head shot up. "W-what?" "He likes you a lot. I know you guys kissed. He told me. And I know what happened between you and sam that night of the date you two had." "Please dont bring it up..." "Sorry.. Anyways how ya been? You look beautiful by the way." He mentioned. I laughed through my nose and smiled. "Thank you, Colby. You look different" "Got a hair cut." He took off his snapback and chuckled. "Looks good..." "Yeah... the lady chopped all my hair off. Its a lot shorter than before." "I like it that way. You can see your face." I joked. "Yea right." He chuckled. "What did you do?" He asked. "What? You domt like it?" I said, twirling a peice of hair. "No I like it.. you just... look different." "Bad different?" "No. Why'd you change it to brown?" "Wanted to try something new." I took a sip of my tea and smiled. "Hm." There was an awkward tension between the two of us whic made me uncomfortable. "Ahem.. So what did you want to talk about?" I asked, breaking the silence. "Oh... Uh...just about anything like that we missed ever since you left." "There isnt much to say." I chuckled. "I hope you realize Sam cares about you right?" "You do realize that I dont give a shit about sam after he almost got me pregnant." I quickly replied. Colby took a deep breath and looked around. "See her over there" He pointed to a girl with light brown hair, almost blonde. "What about her?" I asked, looking back at Colby. "Jori! Over here!" he called. "Jori?" I asked. "Hey Colbs! Who's this?" "Cat- Aryn." Jori stepped closer and looked at me. "Catherine?" "Thats not my name anymore." I smiled and pulled her in for a hug. "Im aryn now.." I whispered. I felt her tear hit my shoulder. I let her go and wiped her face. "Im so sorry... Its all my fault. Im so so sorry Aryn. None of this would've happened if I didnt kiss sam Im sorry Ar-" "Jori... Its okay. I dont care anymore... its fine, alright? Dont be sad." I hugged her again and smiled at colby.  "Wanna chill with us?" I offered. "no.. I dont want to interrupt" "Oh you wont.. I promise. COlby can she stay?" I turned toward colby who smiled and shrugged. "Sit." I pulled a chair from another table and placed it inbetween me and colby. "S-so... you're not mad at what happened last-?" "Jori... that was the past... its okay... I dont like talking about it anyways..." i chuckled and put my head down. "Oh sorry.." "Just ignore me here... I need to do something." I picked up my phone and scrolled through my old text messages I had screenshotted a few months back. 

 I popped in my headphones and began listening to music. I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder. "Excuse me." A voice called. I looked up. My eyes met a cute blonde boy with blue eyes. "Do you mind if me and my friend sit here?" He asked, pointing to his friend. "Oh uh.. sure.." I said. He sat down next to me and his friend sat beside him. "Oh uh... Im Sam... Sam Golbach... And you are?" He held out his hand for me to shake. I smiled and stared at his blue eyes. "Aimee... Aimee Nelson." I smiled. He shook his hair, throwing a scent toward me. I took a deeo breath, trying not to seem creepy as I inhailed his scent. "Oh This Is my friend, Colby Brock." Colby scooted forward and shuffed his hair, adjusting his black snapback. "Hey." He smiled. He had gorgeous blue eyes and hair that looked soft. He had a beautiful smile. I nodded my head and waved at him. We sat in awkward silence for a few. I wiped a tear and sniffled. "Hey... are you okay?" Sam whispered. I turned toward him and shrugged. "Do you have anywhere to stay." He asked. I shook my head and looked around. "Me and Colby have an apartment. D-do you wanna uh come and stay with us f-for a few? Untill you like... get your things together?" He stuttered. I smiled at his words. "Sure." I put my head down and hid my blushing. "Woo... new roomie." Colby smiled. "Dont be creepy dude." Sam turned toward colby. I chuckled and looked at my phone. 5:36. "So tell me about yourself, Aimee... Whats your favorite color." He asked. I thought about it for a minute. "Its not grey but its not green. Its like a mixture of the two." I explained. "Cool... Mines white... its weird I know but its just different ya know?" He smiled. He had a charming smile that would probably make any girl go crazy. "Yeah.." I chuckled. "Mine is blue." Colby blurted out, scooting forward and smiling. I smiled back at him and slouched in my chair. "Is it okay if I asked what happened?" He hesitated. I looked at ny face in my phone and rolled my eyes. "Oh that..." I groaned. "Yeah... I-Its okay if you dont want to. I-I understand." he said. I wasnt sure how I felt about giving some information about myself to these strangers but since these two would be my roommates, I guess I had to get used to them. "Thats awful." Colby said. "Yeah... but im kinda used to it so..."I mumbled. "A pretty girl like you shouldn't be treated like that." Sam nugded my arm and winked. "Thanks..." I smiled.

A tear dropped off my cheek, thinking about sam and how good everything was going untill Sam met Jack againa and figured out who I truely was. I wiped my tears and cleaned my nose. "Hey... Hey are you okay?" I didnt realize colby was kneeling down next to me. I looked at him and threw a weak smile. "I gotta go... I'll text you guys. It was nice seeing you two again." I gathered my things and walked away from the two of them. I walked back to my car and sat inside, not moving. Not turning on the car. Just looking straight ahead at the rest of the people that were sitting at tables and having laughs. After 10 minutes, I finally started the car and drove home. I sneaked inside, hoping Jake didnt hear me and try to make a useless conversation. "How was it?" He asked. I blinked at him the walked upstairs. "okay?" He said again. I slammed the door behind me and slid my body down. I brought my knees up to my chest and sobbed into them. My phone buzzed. I knew it was colby or Jori so I didnt bother answering. Instead, I kicked my phone across the room and  watched as it hit and wall and bounced back. I shook my head. I heard a sudden voice coming from downstairs. I peeked out and saw Sam standing in front of the door. I quickly hid back in my room but heard footsteps coming toward my room. I had no choice but to climb through the window.
