The Pain It Causes To Breathe You In || Solby ✔️

Siete

Colby woke up the next morning. his breathing was shorter. In smaller gasps and breaths. It hurt him so badly to breath. He couldnt even form words.
Colby "sa-sa-sam."
Even that winded him. He pulled away from sam and coughed violently into his arm. It dizzied him and made his chest heave and ache with every small gasp.
Sam "baby? Colby? Hey whats wrong?"
Colby "i ca- i can- i-"
It hurt him so badly to inhale and exhale. The thing you have been doing since before you were born. He couldn't even do that normal everyday task. And it frustrated him but hurt him even more. it majorly pained him to simply inhale.
Sam "okay. Okay. its okay. I'll make an appointment. But i have class today love. Did you want me to stay home?"
Colby felt horrible. He wanted sam. But sam needed to be at school.
Colby "i...s-s-s-sammy..."
Sam felt his heart pull.
Sam "im staying home today. We'll make an appointment for as soon as they can take us. Okay?"
Colby nodded and grabbed his chest. He desperately tried to catch his breath. Sam kissed his forehead and called the doctors office making an appointment.
Sam "do you have any open for today? None today? Nothing. No open slots?"
Sam sighed and rolled his eyes before hanging up.
Sam "were going to the emergency room."
Sam walked downstairs and colby struggled to get up but he did and got changed. Sam's hoodie. Sam's sweats. A black beanie. Slip on sandals. He walked down the stairs carefully. He saw jake entering the house. Did the doorbell go off?
Jake "yoo. Colbster."
Colby waved as he leaned on the wall to catch his breath.
Jake "you okay?"
Sam "we are going to the emergency room."
Jake "are you okay?! why! what happened?!"
Colby "i ca- i- i jus-"
Sam "he cant breathe."
Jake "dont you have school?"
Sam "im skipping class. i'll email my teacher later."
Jake "i can take him."
sam looked to colby. sam didnt wanna leave colby to anyone elses care. its not that he didnt trust anyone else. its just that he wanted to make sure he was okay.
Colby "you can- you ca- g-g-go...s-s-s-sam..."
Sam "we got it. you can tag along if you would like. but i dont wanna leave him with anyone."
Jake "uhm. sam i can take care of him. you have school. seriously go ahead."
sam "i didnt mean it like that. i know you'll take care of him. its not that. its just- okay. if you had a college course and tara was sick. couldnt breathe. could barely talk. has a fever. is scaring you shitless because shes stubborn and continually says shes fine even though you know her better than she knows herself. would you leave her alone with someone else?"
Jake "hell no are you cra- oh. i see. i get it."
Sam "yeah. thats kinda where im at. i trust you jake. i do. its seriously not that. i just dont want anything to happen and im not here."
Colby "i-. im-"
Sam "if you say your fine im slapping you lovingly because i dont abuse the people i love."
Jake "tell that to the bruise i have on my arm."
Sam "because i dont abuse the people im in love with."
colby rolled his eyes but smiled fondly as sam raided the kitchen for something for colby to take.
Sam "fuck!"
Jake "what?"
Sam "we dont have any over the counter medicine. nor any inhalers. shit. do you think you'll be okay until we get there. they'll be able to help."
colby nodded.
Jake "i'll drive."
sam nodded and helped colby walk to the car. he could barely move from how out of breath he was. they got in the car and colby was wheezing. colby laid his head in sam's lap listening to the music and trying to calm his breathing. everytime he tried to take a deep breath he would cough making his chest hurt horrendously. jake stayed in the car while colby and sam went in. they ran some tests and said the results would be in in a few days but that he does have a respiratory infection that would need to be treated immediately. colby leaned his head on sam's chest and sam ran a hand through his hair.
Sam "just some antibiotics. okay?"
colby nodded and his breathing was shaky. they put an oxygen mask on him so it could help him breathe. it helps keep his air circulating and colby was happy for it. sam calmed him some.
Doctor "so i prescribed some antibiotics to help with the infection and i'll call you with information in about three days mr. brock."
Sam "thank you."
the doctor nodded and write off a slip.
Doctor "this is the antibiotics. i called them in so they should be ready for pick up in about three hours at maximum. have a lovely day and i hope you feel better colby."
colby gave a thumbs up leaning into sam's soft touch. sam and colby walked out to the car and colby was exhausted. he laid down with his head in sam's lap. his breathing a bit better but it was causing a raging headache. Jake drove them home. Jake and sam were holding a small conversation while colby was falling asleep in sam's lap. They pulled up to the house and colby woke up in pain. Sam helped him walk inside and they walked to the couch. Colby curled up in a ball and jake walked inside flopping on the couch. Sam looked at colby for a second before walked upstairs getting colby's favorite pillow and blanket. He walked back downstairs and sat next to colby on the couch. He reclined it and pulled colby into him. Sam put colby's pillow in his lap before laying colby's head on it and wrapping the blanket over him. Jake had put on spongebob and they were watching as colby slept on sam. Sam had kept a steady pace with his fingers combing colby's knotted wavy hair. After a few minutes there was some movement on the stairs. This signalled that katrina was awake. It didn't scare sam. But jake jumped out of his skin when katrina walked into the livingroom sitting next to sam perkily with makeup on, her hair done, and some nice clothes on.
Sam "good morning. You look better."
Jake "who are you- AH! WHAT THE FUCK! WHERE IN THE HELL DID YOU COME FROM!!"
Colby "shut up jake."
Jake "sorry bubba."
Colby grunted in response and cuddled into the pillow on sam's lap still trying to slow his ragged breathing. Sam continued to run his fingers through his hair and just admire him. While colby felt he looked awful, sam would never agree to that. In sam's mind colby always looked beautiful and amazing. Never worse. But always better.
Colby "stop. Star-staring...at me.."
Sam smiled leaning down and pressing a sweet kiss to his temple. Colby smiled before falling back asleep.
Jake "tara and jo will be here soon."
Katrina "alritghy."
Sam "feeling any better today kat?"
Katrina "a lot better actually. Thank you."
Sam "no problem. Thank you for last night."
Jake "what did you do last night."
Colby "i'd li-like to...kn-kn-know too."
Sam "we just talked. Thats it."
Colby turned on his back making his chest ache from movement. He looked up at sam.
Sam "i promise."
Colby held out his pinkie. Sam smiled and wrapped his pinkie around colby's. Colby smiled and held onto sam's hand as he turned back onto his side but facing sam.
Sam "how's your breathing? Any better?"
Colby nodded. It wasn't a lie. It had gotten better since this morning but it was still pretty bad.
Sam "do you feel any better?"
Colby shook his head. His chest was aching everytime he breathed. His head was throbbing and got worse everytime he moved his eyes and breathed in too deep. He started violently coughing again and sat up. It hurt him this time. He stood up and walked into the kitchen stumbling. This caused sam to panic. And colby? He was terrified and confused as to what in the hell was happening to him.
