A/N: Need you Now by Lady Antebellum
Colby's POV
C: Fine, be that way.
The Next day
S: How do you expect me to be Colby?! You've already moved on.
C: No, I haven't.
S: Sure, explain Brennen then.
C: We're just friends. He's been helping me through this. Like you were supposed to.
S: What's that supposed to mean?!
C: It means you've been too busy pushing me away to see that I'm still not completely okay.
S: Not like you've been telling me anything.
C: This was a mistake. Bye.
I lock my phone, wishing, not for the first time that Sam was here with me. I decide to go for a drive. I grab my keys and head out of my apartment. To my displeasure, Sam is standing in the hallway, clearly thinking of doing something similar.
"Colby, I-"
"Save it, I don't want to hear it," I say.
I start to walk away before I hear him say, "Please don't walk away..."
"Why do you care all of a sudden?! You haven't been talking to me. All I have is your cryptic posts. It's not enough Sam! I'm struggling still and it's like you don't care or want to help! At least Brennen tries to help!"
I storm away from him and drive to Brennen's.
I knock on his door and he immediately knows something is wrong and pulls me into a hug, shutting the door behind us.
When I am calm enough to talk, he asks, "What happened?"
"I tried to talk to Sam and we fought..."
"You still love him don't you?"
"I-"
"It's okay, you can tell me," he says.
"Yeah, I do. But it hurts that he said he would be here for me but he's not..." I say.
"Maybe he's just hurting and doesn't want to show it," Brennen says.
"Maybe. But why wouldn't he just say that?"
"Hmm... I don't know. Maybe he wants to be more than friends?"
"Maybe, I guess..."
"Let's go do something, take your mind off things."
I nod and he grabs his keys.
