the roommates haven't heard from sam in a while.
"i'm going to wake sam up and tell him to come downstairs and play with us." colby said putting down the controller after emily just beat him in the game.
colby stood up and walked upstairs staring at his phone the whole time.
he approached sams door knocking on it.
"sam you up?" he asked.
no response.
"sam?" he asked once more.
no response.
colby was oblivious to what he was about to find. what sam had done to himself and why.
colby put his phone in his pocket and twisted the door knob.
it was locked but colby knew how to break into it anyway.
pushing it open colby began to speak, "alright sam time to wake up. come downstairs we're all- sam..." colby froze.
his eyes were wide open and even though he was seeing it, he wasn't believing it.
it wasn't real. it couldn't be.
colby wanted to yell for help, he wanted to run to sam but he couldn't.
he was stuck there motionless. he was in shock.
and their laid his best friend. also motionless, on the floor.
a razor in one hand and the other hand covered in the blood dripping from his wrists.
"SAM!!" colby yelled finally getting the strength to go help him.
colby knelt by sams body trying to shake him awake.
colby checked for a pulse.
thankfully he still had one but it was very weak.
"sam it's gonna be okay" colby said picking him up bridal style.
colby hurried down stairs.
the roommates saw colby rushing towards the door before they all stood up asking questions.
colby ignored everyone so he could get sam to the hospital.
he laid sam in the backseat of his car and got in the drivers seat.
he drove crazily to the hospital.
the roommates tried following him but lost him on the way.
colby got out of the car and grabbed sam.
"sam i can't lose you." colbys voice was shaky and he felt so weak.
he rushed sam into the hospital screaming for someone to come help.
he held sam in his arms, both of them covered in sams blood.
doctors and nurses came rushing getting sam from colby and that's when colbys mind went blank.
he began getting dizzy, his ears began to ring and his vision became black.
colby woke up in a hospital room with sam. he was on the couch and sam was hooked up to machines.
"sam!" colby yelled and got up quickly.
a nurse that was just coming in said, "he's not going to wake up anytime soon. are you his brother?" she asked.
"no i'm his-" colby froze. "his boyfriend" he said clearing his throat.
"oh okay. so im sure you know but, sam attempted suicide yesterday and that's why you're here" she said kindly.
"anyway i was just here to check in." she smiled softly and left the room.
colby looked down at his phone,
emily: colby i don't know if us being together is right.
colby: i don't think it is emily.
emily: do you think we could be at an agreement that we should go separate ways and break up.
colby: unfortunately i think that would be best. read 15 minutes ago.
colby leaned back in his seat.
so now he doesn't have a girlfriend. she wasn't even worth it.
not for the price he had to pay for sam.
