Dead to me // Colby Brock

Andrea, Colby and I sat on the lounge room floor, all eating different meals that Andrea had prepared for us for lunch.

It was around two in the afternoon and both Brennen and Jeff had been out for at least an hour now making the house feel less full the usual, but with the mixture of Andrea's laughter and Colby's cocky comebacks, the house felt almost full again.

Since last night both Andrea and Colby were beaming like a ray of sunshine as if all of their sadness and worries were yanked right out of them.

Colby didn't wake up till ten today so I was able to slip underneath his grip and fall asleep for a split second before he had woken up. Once he had woken up I had seen a different Colby appear right in front of me. A wide smile and bright blue eyes came to life as he laughed throughout the day at absolutely nothing.

For Andrea, we both had a little celebration on her coming out by eating a cake that Brennen had gotten, which was most likely two weeks old, but we didn't say anything. We sat down for at least two hours and listened to Andrea explaining to me about how she's always found an attraction towards girls ever since she was twelve and watching her eyes light up when she talked made me so happy.

"Lunch is so underrated" Colby randomly states as he stuffs his chicken sandwich into his mouth as if it was going to disappear in mid-air.

"I know right, why does no one talk about it as much as the other two!" Andrea gasps as if it was the best thing shes heard Colby say today. I watch as she chuckles under her breath before ripping out a piece of lettuce in her sandwich and starts chewing down on it.

"I second whatever you guys are talking about" I reply picking out the tomatoes in my sandwich and placing it down on my plate.

"Are you not going to eat that?" Andrea questions me giving me a small grin as she points at the tomatoes that I had recently just pulled out. I nodded my head no and watched as she quickly picked it off my plate and placed it into her mouth.

"Eww, how do you like tomatoes" Colby questions pretending to fake gag.

"Because I can" Andrea answers causing Colby to continue gagging but only louder this time. "Oh shut up before you make yourself vomit" Andrea laughs slapping his shoulder but this doesn't make him stop.

Oh, this just makes him way louder than before.

I sit back and observe Colby and Andrea fighting like a pair of little kids arguing over a candy bar at the grocery store. Suddenly I felt someone push my shoulder making me fall backward onto the ground.

I quickly sit back to witness Colby giving me a cheeky grin before standing up and immediately running behind the couch.

"Oh, Mr. Brock you better watch out!" I laugh instantly standing up and chasing after him. I couldn't help but hold back my ugly laughs as I chased Colby around the room. Once I was back at the couch I felt someone tug on the bottom of my pants.

Turning around I see Andrea stretched out across the floor laughing her head off. I smile to myself before seeing Colby flops down next to her, puffing like a train.

With all of the yelling and pushing that was going on I had only noticed someone had sent me a text message until it had rung the second time with Siri telling me.

Confused to who it could be I slowly picked up my phone off from the floor and stared down at the text below me.

"who is it?" Colby asks me making me realize that I have read the text over a million times now making it look like I was in danger.

"Oh, no one" I reply fastly giving him a soft smile as I placed the phone down next to me but I knew this wasn't going to stop Andrea. "Tell me before I burn your phone" she jokes reaching for her sandwich and taking the last bite of it.

"It was no one really, just Leonardo asking me if I wanted to hang out tomorrow" I say nervously waiting for their expected annoyed reactions but instead they both grew happy smiles across their faces.

"You should go" Colby states catching me off guard. I blink my eyes multiple times, switching my head between him and Andrea making sure this all wasn't just a big dream but nothing had changed.

"Yes go please I haven't seen you leave the house in ages" Andrea says dusting his hands over her plate.

"You sure?" I question them both watching as they identically nod their head fastly.

"I insist" Colby softly says but I could tell his tone of voice was different from how the rest of the day was.
