My Secret [Completed]

Healing

Colby's POV

I wake up hours later with a sharp pain in my left arm and someone gripping my right hand tightly. My eyes feel like lead as I try to open them. I squeeze the hand holding mine.

"Colby?"

That voice forces open my eyes and I see Sam looking down at me, concern flooding his pale face.
"Are you okay?" Sam asks.

"I-I don't know. What happened?"

"You fainted again," he says.

"I'm sorry... I-I screwed up..."

"Colby, no. You're not well. But this isn't your fault. It's mine. I pushed you away," he says.

"I need you, always. Promise me you won't do this again," I say.

"I won't I promise. I'm here, I'm here for you."

"Sam, can you-" He cuts me off by hugging me. "Thank-k you, I-"

"Shh, save your breath. I know."

He holds me until I'm released. They tell me to eat small amounts of food at least three times a day until I can eat full meals. Corey drives us home while Sam holds me in the backseat, running his hands through my hair. I calm down because of his touch and cuddle up to him. When we get home, Sam makes me a small meal. I sit at the counter and stare at the food.

"Colby, I'm here. It'll be okay. Just try."

I sigh and pick up the fork. I manage a few bites before shoving the plate away, tears filling my eyes.

"Colby?"

"I'm sorry... I can't eat anymore..." I start to cry as Sam hugs me, rubbing my back.

"Colbs, it's okay. Small steps okay?"

"Don't-t leave me," I say.

"I promise, I'll be here through all of this," he says.

"I need to sleep," I say.

I stand up but feel like I'm going to collapse again. "It's okay. I've got you." He helps me to my room and I lay down on the bed. He lays down next to me and I fall asleep my arms around him.
