Joe's POV

I yawn and reach my hand over. I sit up quickly when I don't feel Colby. I look at the bathroom door seeing the light from under it. I sigh and get up. The door isn't locked so I just walk on in. I pull the shower curtain back making Colby scream like a child.

" Joe! You scared me! " Colby screeches. I laugh and he flips me off. " You scared me. You weren't next to me " I tell him. He turns the shower off and steps out. I sit on top of the sink.

" Joe you've been sleeping without me for months " he reminds me. Which is true but I had Nick. I don't like sleeping in a room alone. It freaks me out. I see why Nick is always thinking there's a shadow somewhere.

" Yes but we're working on that " I say making him freeze. I pause and retrace what I have said in my head. Did I say something wrong? Colby looks at me and he's crying. I tilt my head confused. Was it me?

" What's that mean? " Colby ask me. I just stare at him not understanding. " We're working on things? " he ask and his voice cracks making my heart fucking shatter.

" Colby- " I start but he starts getting more upset. " Why are we working on things? Why? I don't understand. We're doing fine. You think we need to work on things? I don't understand. " he says fast like he usually does when he's upset and overwhelmed.

I hop off the sink and stand in front of him. " Colby calm down " I say calmly so it'll calm him. He backs away from me.

" WE NEED TO WORK ON THINGS!? WHAT IS THIS TO YOU!? SOME FUCKING BROKEN RELATIONSHIP THAT NEEDS REPAIRED?! BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE WERE DOING FINE! YOU WENT TO MY FAMILY WITH ME! PLAYED WITH PARKER! YOU APOLOGIZED FOR YOU STUPIDNESS YESTERDAY! I THOUGHT YOU WERE WITH NICK ALL THE TIME BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT HIM TO BE ALONE! " he basically screams at me but he's not looking at me. He's pacing around upset.

" You need to calm down. Please. Let me explain what I meant. " I say to him still calm even though inside I'm fucking crying.

" GO AHEAD! EXPLAIN! EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THIS NEEDS WORK! IS THIS SOME FUCKING OLD ASS MARRIAGE THAT ENDS UP GETTING FUCKED UP AND THEN NEEDS FUCKING COUNSELING!? " he screams once again and walks out the bathroom. I follow behind him and turn him so he's looking at me. He's fucking sobbing.

" Colby. Baby. Calm down. You took that the wrong way. This isn't something that needs counseling " I try to assure him. He pushes me and I tumble backwards a bit.

" CALM DOWN!? HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IF I JUST DROPPED THE NEWS THAT WE NEED TO WORK ON THINGS!? "

I grab him by the shoulders and he just starts hitting me in the chest. It doesn't hurt at all by the way.

" Colby! Calm down! Colby! " I yell since my stupid calm voice act isn't working obviously.

Nick's POV

" Colby! Calm down! Colby! " me, Jon and Renee hear as we are walking into the hotel. We all look at each other then run our ass in their room. I see Colby punching Joe's chest and Joe just holding him. Jon runs over to Colby and grabs him off Joe and brings him out the room. Renee follows to help because let me say. Colby is someone that when he's upset more then one person needs to handle him.

" What happened? " I ask Joe as he slides on the floor. He's crying a bit but not as much as Colby.

" I run my fucking mouth " Joe says with a tint of anger. I walk over to him and sit next to him.
