Paper Balls

Chapter 23

Colby's POV
Me and Liam walk inside. "How has Sam been?" He asks. "What do you mean?" I'm confused. "After I left Kansas. Did he do good at band camp? Did he do good in high school? Did he get bullied? I need to know everything." Liam says.

"He did really good at band camp. He got really good grades in high school. We both got bullied a bit because we started doing Vine." I say. He nods. "Um Liam. Can I ask you a question?" I ask. "Shoot."

"I-is.....is Sam like gay? O-or bi?" I look at the ground avoiding his eyes. I hear a small giggle. "He's bi." Liam smiles. He puts his hands on my shoulders. "You like him don't you?" He says. I nod my head. "He's bi, but when I leave. I need you to take care of Sam, like the way you've been doing for years.

"Okay, and I really really like Sam, Liam. But I'm scared to tell him." I shake my head. "Are you going anywhere tonight?" Liam asks. "We are going out to dinner with everybody. Then only the people that live in the house are going to the fair at the boardwalk." I say.

"There. At the fair. Take Sam on the Ferris Wheel. When you guys are at the top, tell him how you feel." Liam smiles. "Thanks Liam." I say.

We walk back out and I stand over near the pool. I feel wet arms around me from behind. I turn my head and smile. "Hi Sammy." I say. "Hi Bear...." He digs his head in my back. "Bear?" I smile softly. "Yeah, that's my nickname for you since you call me 'Sammy'. I wanted to give you a nickname." He smiles up at me.

He's too god damn cute. My heart can't handle it.

I can feel heat rising onto my cheeks. "Bear, what time are we all going to dinner?" He asks. "I don't know, let me go ask Elton." I say. I try to walk but Sam keeps holding onto me.

"Um Sammy, I need you to let go." I say. "But I don't wanna." My Sammy says. I mentally face palm. "Hop onto my back." I say. Sam grabs my shoulders and hops onto my back. He buries his head on the crook of my neck.

I walk along the pool side trying to find Elton. I see him talking to Scotty so I walk over there. "Hey Elton, Sam wants to know what we are going out to dinner." I say. "It's 5:38 right now, we can go at 6:15." He says. "Alright, thanks Elton." I say and walk away.

"Hey Sammy. Do you have your swim trunks on?" I ask. "Yeah why?" He asks. I smirk as I climb onto the "Send it!" and stand at the edge. "How about you look up?" I smirk. I feel him pick his head up.

"Oh shit." He whispers. I chuckle. "C-colby! Please don't!" He yells. "Dude, you literally just did a flip this morning off of this thing." I laugh. "Yeah! But it's different when I'm on someone's back!" I feel him wrap his arms and legs around me. Everyone starts to chant "jump" again. Then there is Jake. "DO A FLIP!"

I laugh a bit. "Sam, do you trust me?" I ask. "H-huh, what?" I mentally facepalm again. "Do you trust me?" I say again. "Yeah, duh."

I back up a bit. "Then let's flip." I run and jump off the edge, kinda of swan diving but flipping towards the end. I felt Sam let go once I jumped off and was next to me doing the same thing.

I land into the water. Coming back up for air, everyone cheers for us. Sam comes up and whips his head to get his hair out of his face. "Holy shit! That was awesome!" He cheered. "See, all you gotta do it trust me." I say grabbing his arm to hug him.

Hey guys! Yesterday, I watched Teen Choice 2019 on Fox (even though it was the day before yesterday that it went live) I am so fucking happy for Sam and Colby for getting Choice YouTuber. When they showed up on the screen, I actually almost cried. I was so happy. And they looked amazing (as usual 😉). When I watched the part where they were getting interviewed, it was funny. They where so confused. 😂 I can't wait to see what more things they do in the near future! ❤️
