I walked to my car with tears rolling down my cheeks. my girlfriend had just broken up with me. I shouldn't be hurt, hell I don't even like girls. but she cheated. the cheating is what hurt. cheating is the worst thing you could do to a person. I just date girls to try and distract myself from the feelings I have for someone else. someone who lives with me. someone who has been my best friend for seven years. someone named Sam. but I couldn't bring myself to tell him. not yet. I must have been blind- driving because once I snapped out of my thoughts and wiped the fresh tears from my face, I was back at the house. I walked in and was greeted with the roommates asking what's wrong. I just shook my head no and looked at Corey.
"he's upstairs" he told me as he walked over and patted me on the back.
I mumbled a small "thank you" and headed towards Sams room. I knocked on the door and heard a muffled "come in." I pushed the door open and just stood there. Sam was laying with his face buried in his pillow. he rolled over and his face changed from tired to worried. he got up and walked towards me.
*"hey bub, what's up?" he grabbed my hand and sat me on the edge of the bed. he sat next to me and then leaned his head on my shoulder. we did this anytime the other was upset. we would sit and let them talk for however long they needed to. that was the thing with us. we were always there to listen to each other. I spent an hour just ranting about what happened. I got carried away and didn't know what I was saying until it too late.
~"I mean, I don't care that she broke up with me. I love someone else. and she knew that, but she had to go and cheat instead of just ending things maturely." when I said that I loved someone else, Sam's face looked like a mix of sadness and broken.
*"who?" he whispered.
~"huh?" I asked.
*"who do you love colby?" he asked quietly.
I waited a minute before telling myself to just go for it. I grabbed his chin and turned his face towards me.
~"you..." I said before crashing my lips against his.
his hands made their way to the back of head and played my hair. I pulled him closer and let the kiss last a bit, before we had to lean back to breathe. our breathing mixed as he leaned his forehead against mine.
~"I love you, Sam."
*"I love you too, colbs."
