   Colby and I have been friends for two years but recently our friendship has grown past "just friendship".  It was like an unspoken thing but everyone knew that something more was between us from the way that he would pull me into his lap, intertwine my fingers with his, or I would lay my head on his shoulder, or simply the way that we interacted on an everyday basis. So to everyone including myself, it was pretty clear that we were more that just friends. When things started to shift in Colby and I's friendship, I finally told the girls that I had liked him and that I was glad that he was giving me signs that he too felt the same way. And that is true, he was giving me signs. HE was the one that pulled me into his lap, HE was the one that would put his arm around me when we were out, HE was the one that would look between  my eyes and lips. He was giving just as many signs as I was giving him. I thought, sooner or later we would get together and that was all of our friends thought too. Just that sooner or later one of us will finally make the first official move towards one another. But I guess we were all wrong when pizza night rolled around and Colby showed up with a girl. A different girl. 

   I walked into Sam's apartment wearing a short, white jersey, black ripped jeans, my usual chain that hung down the side of my leg, and a pair of white vans. My hair was straightened with a black beanie pulled over it. As soon as I walked in my eyes scanned the crowded space and my landed on an unusual face to see at pizza night. It was a girl. She had on a tight black dress, her face was accompanied with flawless makeup, and her long, shiny, brown hair was pulled up into a ponytail. I furrowed my brow and continued into the room. I stumbled upon the group of girls that we all whispering in the corner by Sam's filming room and spare bathroom. I walked behind Xepher and Devyn, popping my head into the secretive circle, "What are we whispering about?" I whisper-shouted. All of the girl quieted down and looked over at me, they had a weird look on their faces but before any of them could speak, "Hey! Y/n, when did you get here?" I heard the deep voice that I was falling in love with. I turned around and saw Colby walking over to the group, his arms open, inviting me into a hug. I happily took it and wound my arms around his waist, his own snaked around my neck and pulled me against him. "I actually just walked in," I replied after a moment, my voice muffled by his shirt. We pulled away and he looked down at me before turning around slightly and motioning for someone to come over to us. Colby turned back to me, "Y/n, I want you to meet someone.." he trailed off just as the same girl from earlier waltzed over to us and latch her arm through his. I took a step back looking between the two, I could faintly hear the whispered voices of my friends, but I didn't acknowledge them. I was too focused on the two people in front of me. "This is Amber, Amber this is my best friend, Y/n." Colby's voice broke through the thoughts running through my head at 100 miles per second. I shook my head slightly to clear it then put on my best fake smile and held out my hand. 

"Hi Amber, it so nice to meet you." I said still holding out my hand. She took the hint and grasped it lightly in her own cold hand. I let go and both of ours hand fell to our sides, I looked over at Colby to see him already looking back at me. I didn't know what to say, I just knew that I felt the lump in my throat, telling me that I was about to cry. I swallowed hard against it but it didn't help.  "Are you okay?" Colby's worried voiced asked me, I nodded scared to open my mouth because if I did the only coming out would be a sob. He raised his eyebrow at me, he knew something was wrong but I forced a smile then turned around, back to the group of girls. Tara, Katrina, Devyn, Xepher, and Cassie, they were all looking at me with sympathetic looks on their faces. I shook my head at them and took a deep breath. My chest physically hurt from the weight that I felt. Xepher pulled me into a hug since she was right next to me. I let a few tears run freely down my face when I buried my head into her sweater. When I pulled away, I sniffled a little and wiped my face of any wet trials left. "I'm gonna go say hi to the guys," I mumbled before turning and walking away with waiting for a response. I knew that they knew something was up because when I stepped into the kitchen were all the boys were, they all gave me a small smile. "Don't do that. I'm fine" I said dryly to them. Sam shook his head and pulled me into a quick tight hug, he let me go and I went around and hugged all of them. Jake was the last one that I hugged, I went to pull away but he held me tighter, "If it helps any, all of us were surprised." he said before finally letting go. I nodded at him then looked over my shoulder to see Colby sitting on the couch with Amber and they were talking but Colby would constantly glance up at the group of guys and girls. This time when he looked up his eyes met mine, his eyebrows instantly knitted together but I ignored it and turned back to the guys.
