Perfect Storm [Completed]

Hurt

"I love you, Sam," Colby says, leaving the room.

I sigh, the tears falling down my face. The last thing I wanted was him to make excuses for me. I screwed up and hurt Colby. I wipe the tears away, angry with myself for crying. I don't deserve to be upset, I was the one who caused this. A few hours later, someone knocks on the door.

"Sam?" It's Colby. "I made you some food. You need to eat something." I don't open the door. I hear him sigh, "I'll just leave the food for you."

I hear Elton ask from down the hall, "Did he take the food?"

"No, I left it outside the door. He wouldn't open the door," Colby sighs.

"I'll talk to him," Elton says.

Elton comes to the door and knocks. "Sam, please open up. We're all worried about you."

He tries the door and opens it, walking into the room.

"How did you know?"

"I had a feeling," he says, closing the door behind him.

"What do you want?"

"Colby's worried sick about you."

"He shouldn't be. I don't deserve it," I say.

"Sam, why are you doing this? Beating yourself up over something you didn't do," he says. "He took advantage of you and Colby knows that. He just wants to talk to you. He's going crazy with worry about you. Just let him in. He loves you and he wants to be there for you."

"I just... I don't want him to have to be there for me after what I did," I say.

"But he wants there to be for you. He wants you to let him in."

"I don't even know how he can even stand to look at me after what I did," I say.

"What Brennan did. Sam, he took advantage of you when you were drunk. He knew you were drunk and he kissed you anyway."

"Wait, how do you know this?"

"He told me and Colby. He didn't know you had a boyfriend, but he knew were drunk and he kissed you because he thought you were cute. According to Brennan, you were so far gone, you didn't even know what was happening."

"So I didn't cheat-"

"No, you didn't. And Colby just wants to see you," he says.

I nod. Elton leaves the room and Colby comes in, hesitant. He looks like he wants to hold me and comfort me.

"Colby, please-"

He understands immediately and wraps his arms around me. I break down in his arms and he pulls me closer to him.

"I'm-m sorry-y," I say through my tears.

"Sammy, it's wasn't your fault. I'm sorry. I love you."

"I-I love-e you too," I say, still sobbing.

He leads me to the bed and sits me down, arms still around me. He rubs my back and whispers to me until I calm down. I start to fall asleep when I hear someone at our bedroom door. Not wanting to move, I keep my eyes shut.

"Is he okay?" Aaron asks.

"Yeah. He's calmed down. I'm pretty sure he's falling asleep," he says.

"Good," Aaron says.

The roommates leave us alone and Elton shuts the door behind them.

"Sam, you awake?"

I groan and he chuckles.

"I want to sleep, I'm exhausted."

He gets up and turns off the light. Then he climbs in beside me and I curl up next to him.
