Colby's POV

"Sam! Sam, come back!"

He turns around, "No Colby! Let me be!"

"Sam, talk to me please!"

"Colby, give him space," Kat says. When did she get here?!

"Sam, please. Just talk to me," I say.

He stumbles outside, and I try to follow him but Kat stops me.

"Colby, look at me," Kat says.

"What?!"

"Give Sam some space," she says.

"No, he needs me," I say.

"Sam needs space to think. Give him that," she says.

"Let me go to him..."

"Colby, he'll be okay," Jake says.

I start to feel dizzy.

"Colby, are you okay?" Corey asks.

"I-I don't know..."

"Sit down, I'll get some water," Kat says.

I put my head in my hands as the dizziness washes over me again. I collapse onto the couch as darkness washes over me.

Corey's POV

"Colby?" I yell, shaking him.

"Corey, what's wrong?" Jake asks.

"I think Colby fainted," he says.

"What do we do?" Jake asks.

"He'll wake up. If not, we'll take him to the emergency room," Kat says.

"What's wrong with Colby?" Sam asks, trembling.

We all jump at the sound of his voice. None of us had heard him come back in.

"Is-s he-e hurt?"

Colby stirs when Sam speaks.

"Sam-m? What-t happened?" he asks.

"You fainted Colby," Corey says.

Sam's POV

"Colby, are you hurt?" I ask.

"No..."

"You fainted Colby. Are you sure you aren't hurt?" I ask.

"Sam's right Colby. People don't just faint for no reason," Corey says.

"I know why, okay?!"

He storms to his room and slams his bedroom door.

"W-what does he mean, he knows why?" I ask.

"I don't know, but you should talk to him," Corey says, steering me in the direction of Colby's room.

I sigh then walk to Colby's room. I knock and then enter the room.

"Colby, what did you mean that you know why?"

"It's not important," he says.

I sit down on his bed and say, "It is to me."

"I just, We weren't talking and I was upset... I haven't really been eating."

"Colby- When was the last time you ate?"

"A few days ago maybe."

"Colby-"

"I know, I know... I just, I didn't want to eat because you were distancing yourself from me. I didn't have an appetite..."

"Colby, I'm sorry. Things have been crazy lately. I've been dealing with stuff. But you need to eat."

"I don't know if I can," he says.

"I understand. But you can't keep going like this. You'll get sick," I say.

"Nice to know you care," he says.

"I do care. If something happened to you, I-I don't know what I'd do. Without you, I'd-d-," I say.

"You have a funny way of showing it. Ignoring me," he says.

"I just needed some time to figure things out. It wasn't because I don't care about you," I say. "Colby please believe me. I care about you. It's always been you and me through everything."

"Sam, I-" He faints again, falling back on the bed.

"Colby! Wake up please!"

Everyone comes running into the room.

"He fainted again?" Kat asks. I nod, shaking. "Did he tell you anything?"

"He hasn't been eating, because of me. Because I was distancing myself from him. This is all my fault. He thinks I don't care."

"Okay, we need to take him to the hospital now," Corey says.

I nod and pick Colby up to take him out to my car.
