"Wait, so she kicked you out because we hung out and you missed the tradition lunch?" Colby asked summing it up.
I nodded my head as we sit on his bed. "You can stay with me as long as you need, okay?" He offered looking at me.
"Are you sure? I don't wanna burden anyone." He looked at me like I was crazy. "You're not a burden, you're my friend." I smiled.
He felt like the only friend I have. But then I got a thought. "I didn't bring any clothes, everything happened so fast." I tell him.
He softens up as he looks at me. He stands up and started looking through his clothes. "What are you doing?" I ask sitting closer to him.
"I'm not letting you sleep in that. You can sleep in these tonight and then tomorrow, we can sneak back in and grab some things." He explained.
He was so sweet. He handed me sweats and a t shirt. "I'm gonna get some snacks, you can change if you want." He then walked out and left.
I sigh as I quickly change. His shirt was too big along with his sweats. I bring my legs up to my chest as I wrap my arms around my legs.
How could Casey and Ivy just stand there and watch as I get kicked out of the house? Are they that scared of Blair?
I'm not even sad or upset about the whole thing, I'm just mad. "Hey, I brought some snacks." Colby came back with a bunch of food.
I look at him questionably. "Some? It looks like you raided the whole kitchen." He laughed as I smiled a little.
"See, there's that smile." He sat down next to me and scattered the snacks out. He turned his tv on and put Netflix on.
We started eating and watching a movie. As we were watching, I had felt more calm. Our shoulders were touching, which didn't bother me.
Halfway through, I started to yawn. "You tired?" Colby asked me. "I'm fine." I say in the middle of my yawn.
He sighed as he turned the lights out. He started walking out the door, but then I stopped him. "Colby." He turned around to look at me.
"Yeah?" He asked. "Stay, please." His face softened up. He walked over to me and laid down.
We were both now under the covers, side by side. We were looking into each other's eyes. I can tell he's trying to figure me out.
"Thank you." I blurt out. His eyebrows furrowed as he looked at me. "For what?" He asked.
"For helping me today." He smiled over at me. "Just try to get some rest." I closed my eyes, and fell asleep.
His bed was really comfortable. When I woke up, I couldn't remember where I was. But then all the memories came flooding back.
I looked around and I was alone in Colby's bed. I wonder if he actually stayed in bed or he just got up. As I was thinking, the door opened up.
He walked in with black skinny jeans on, shirtless, and wet hair. I guess he had taken a shower. "Hey, you're up." Colby smiled.
"And you're wet." I joke pointing to his hair. "How'd you sleep?" He asked curious. He grabbed a shirt from his closet and put it on.
"Better than what I thought. You?" We made small talk for a while. "Here, let's go get your clothes and we can get IHop." Colby smiled.
I got out of his bed, looked down, and I was still in his clothes from last night. "Let me change real quick." He shook his head.
"Why not change when you get new clothes?" He asked. I guess he did have a point. "I don't want to steal your clothes." I tell him.
"Don't worry about it." He shrugged it off. I sighed as we walked out of the house. I guess we're the only ones here.
"I'll drive." I grab my keys as we get into my car. I start to drive to the condo a little nervous.
I knew Blair wasn't gonna be there, but I didn't know about Casey and Ivy. I really didn't want to see them. I have nothing to say to them.
If they were true friends, they would've stuck up for me. But they just stood there and watched. "Eden." Colby said pulling me out of my thoughts.
"You okay? You were holding the shit out of your steering wheel." He asked. I lightened my grip as I sigh.
"I'm good." I get the condo, and thankfully no ones here. "You can come in if you want." I tell him while getting out of the car.
"Do you have a key, it looks like everything is locked." He wondered. I bend down, lift up the doormat, and grab the extra key.
I unlock the door and walk in, Colby following. "This place is nice." He said looking around. "Blair picked it out. It's something we all agreed on." I explain.
I go upstairs into my room. Looks like they haven't been in here. Good. I grabbed my bag and started packing.
"What can I do?" Colby asked sitting on my bed. I shook my head. "You've done more than you can do." I smile a little.
I packed everything I could. Pajamas, outfits, my hair and makeup stuff. It took me a good twenty minutes.
"You ready?" He asked. I had just walked out of the bathroom, changing out of his clothes. I nod as we grab everything and walk downstairs.
Right when we turned to walk out, Casey walked in. I instantly glared. I walked right past her and didn't say anything.
I could tell she was upset about it. And she should be. If it was her, I would've stuck up for her in a heartbeat.
We put my stuff in my trunk as we got in my car. "You good?" Colby asked.
I looked over at him and I could tell he was worried about me.
"Yeah, let's go grub."
