Perfect Storm [Completed]

Solby Prank

Colby and I decide to do the Solby prank when we get home. We hide the camera in the living room and invite Elton over. When Elton arrives, we call Corey and Jake downstairs. The three of them sit down on the couch while Colby and I remain standing.

"So, we have something to tell you three," I say.

"What is it?" Elton asked.

Colby and I look at each other then I say, "Colby and I are... together."

"Like dating?" Corey asks.

"Yeah," Colby says.

"I knew it!" Elton says.

"You totally called it!" Jake says.

"Wait, what?" Colby says.

"You guys were totally fine with sharing a bed the other night. And you were super touchy too," Corey says.

"I-I'll be back," Colby says.

"Colby?" Elton says, confused. Colby walks away upstairs.

"It was a prank guys," I say.

"Oh, so you aren't together?" Elton asks.

"No, we aren't."

"But why did Colby walk away then?" Elton asks.

"I don't know. He did agree to the prank. I'm going to talk to him," I say, heading upstairs.

I knock on his door. No answer.

"Colby?"

I try to open the door but it's locked.

"Colby, please open the door," I say.

Nothing happens. I sigh and walk to my room.

What is going on with him? I hope he's okay.

Colby's POV

I practically run upstairs after Elton and Corey believed the prank. I don't know why it set me off, but it did. Sam knocked on my door about ten minutes ago, but I ignored it, not wanting to talk to anyone right now.

A few hours later, I hear another knock on my door.

"Colby, it's Jake. Can we talk?"

I open the door and let him in.

"Hi," I say, not looking up.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," I say.

"Colby, come on," he says.

"Okay, okay. I'm not. But I don't want to talk about it," I say.

"You sure? It might help," he says.

"I'm sure. Please, I just want to be alone," I say.

"Okay," he says, leaving the room.

Sam's POV

Jake comes into my room after talking to Colby.

"That was quick," I say.

"Yeah, he didn't want to talk. He did say that he's not okay though," he says.

"That's all he said?" I ask.

"Yeah," he says.

I sigh, "I don't know what happened. I just want to talk to him."

"He probably just needs time," he says.

"I guess so..."

"It's not you Sam. You didn't cause this," he says.

"Sure feels like it. After all, I was the one that suggested the prank," I say.

"Did he agree to the prank?"

"Well, yeah. But I feel bad for suggesting it," I say.

"It'll be okay. Colby just needs time to figure things out. Trust me," Jake says.

I nod. Jake leaves my room and I decide to listen to some music to drown out my thoughts. Around midnight, I hear a knock on my door. I pause my music and open the door.

"Hi..."

"Hi Colby," I say. I pause at the look on his face, "What's wrong?"

"I-I couldn't sleep. I couldn't turn the thoughts off... Can I sit?"

"Sure," I say and he sits down.

I wrap an arm around him and he clings to me.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I ask.

"Yes, but I don't fully understand why it upset me. When they believed it, I don't know. Part of me was hoping it could be true. Am I crazy?"

"No, you aren't crazy. I mean, we did confess ou feelings for each other earlier. But we agreed just to be friends for now," I say.

"I know. But maybe I want more," he says.

"I think until you know for sure, we should wait to be together," I say.

"But will you wait?" he asks.

"Yes, I will," I say.

"Can I stay with you tonight?"

"Of course," I say.

I stand up to turn off the light. I take off my shirt and lay down next to him. He cuddles up to me as I wrap my arms around him.
