Colby's POV
I walk away from Sam's room and into my room. Ugh, what has gotten into him?! "He just suddenly ran upstairs when I was on the phone with Gabby and she kept saying all of those me- God dammit!" I yell and punch my wall.

"SHIT!" I scream. I yank my hand back and look at it. It starts to bleed a bit but the bruising is horrible.
What am I going to do? I can't just let him sulk in his room everyday. We still have stuff to do. I hear my door open. I look over and see Corey.

"I heard something hit the wall and you yell." He says walking in. I look down at my feet, not wanting to look at him. "What's wrong Colby?" Corey asks. "This girl Gabby, I met her in Kansas before I met Sam. But then she moved away. When Sam and I went out for lunch in his birthday. She was there visiting family.

We exchanged phone numbers so we could talk. Then today, I went out to lunch with her to catch up on a few things. After I left, Gabby kept texting me and calling. She acted like it was a date, but it wasn't." I take a deep breathe and continue. "A few minutes ago, I FaceTimed her and she kept telling me 'oh it was a date. you should come over' and I told her that I was already dating someone.

I moved the camera over to Sam and she started to call him ugly and piece of shit. He got up and went to his room. I started yelling at her and then hung up. i knocked on his door but he didn't answer. I tried talking to him but he didn't say anything." I finish.

Corey thinks for a moment. "Hmm, you should just let him be for a while. He's already dealing with so much." Corey says. His eyes widened and looks away mumbling a shit under his breath.

I stand up and look at him. "Wait, he's dealing with so much? What do you mean? What's wrong with Sam?" Questions start to flood my brain. "I-I've said to much." Corey says standing up.

"What's wrong with Sam?" I ask again. "Th-that's not my story to tell." After that, Corey leaves my room. Why isn't anyone telling me anything? This makes no sense. We all made a promise that we'd only keep serious secrets from each other. Not some stupid dumb ones.

"I'm just going to have to get it out of Sam myself then."
