Colby stumbled into the kitchen and grabbed a papertowel. he coughed into it and slid down the counter to the cold tile. he was wheezing trying to catch his breath from coughing. sam quickly walked into the kitchen after pulling himself together. he knelt down in front of a pale colby.
Sam "what happened..."
sam was terrified. he didnt know what was happening to his boyfriend. colby couldnt breathe. he was barely able to tak. tears slipped down his cheeks rapidly as he started coughing again into the paper towel, sam noticed its red tint. so he stood up and got another one taking this one from colby to inspect it. blood. red thick blood on the paper towel colby was coughing into.
Jake "is everything okay?"
Kat "yeah youve been gone awhile."
sam started to shake. something was wrong with colby. more than just some respiratory infection. no. this had to be worse. it had to be. he ran through the possibilities of every disease he'd learned in class, each worse than the last. his body turned paler than usual. colby's coughing got worse as did his breathing. sam heard his phone ring. he shot his head up, threw the paper towel away and walked out of the room past jake and kat. he picked up his phone and answered it.
Elton "sam? hows colby?"
and at that point. sam couldnt stop the tears starting to flow.
Elton "sam? sam im coming over."
and with that elton hung up. he rushed back to colby and gently pulled his face to look at his own. he wiped colby's tears and pecked his lips softly. colby wiped sam's eyes and leaned into his loving boyfriend.
Colby "s-s-s-sam....h-h-hu-hurts."
Sam "you'll be okay baby. i promise."
colby whimpered as kat and jake just watched in awe. sam just sat on the floor with colby holding him as he tried to breathe. he kept whispering sweet nothings into his ear trying to keep him calm.
Sam "i love you. i need you. keep breathing baby okay?"
Colby "mm....m-mi-ne...."
Sam "yeah...yours...always..."
colby soon fell asleep on sam sitting on the cold tile that grew warm from how long they were sitting.
Jo "hey peeps!"
Tara "the short people are here."
sam didnt talk. he didnt do anything except try to hold colby and keep him asleep.
Jo "hey kitty kat. jake. wheres sam and colby."
jo walked into the kitchen and as soon as he saw a shaking sam on the floor holding a very hurt but sleeping colby she ran to the other side of colby not missing a beat and kneeling down.
Jo "what happened?! are you okay?! should i drive you guys to the hospital?! what is happening..."
jo's voice cracked on the last one. sam shook his head and carded his fingers through his hair.
Sam "somethings wrong with him."
sams voice was shaky as another figure entered the house. elton walked in and sat next to sam.
Sam "h-h-h-hes not okay..."
Elton "i know s. i know."
sam and Elton had been friends longer than anyone except jo.
Elton "i can take him upstairs to sleep."
sam looked at colby whom was resting his entire body on the younger. sam kissed colby's head and prayed that he feels better and everything will be okay. he nodded and elton swiftly picked him up and carried him to their room. jo hugged sam who had no idea what to do. soon kat tara and jake joined in on the hug.
Jake "he'll be okay bro."
sam took a deep breath and stood up when everyone started pulling away they all walked to the living room and watched tv. sam started drifting off. he woke up some time later and tried to push his dream from his thoughts. he looked around. jo tara and jake were gone. so was katrina. even elton had disappeared. sam walked upstairs and into their room. elton was next to colby talking. colby was humming in response. sam smiled and closed the door. colby looked over and smiled widely. elton moved over as did colby. sam sat down next to colby and colby leaned his body mass onto the younger blonde smiling.
Colby "mi-issed y-y-ou-ou..."
Sam "i missed you too baby..."
sam cuddled with colby and held him as elton continued to talk. colby soon fell back asleep with the comfort of sam being there.
Elton "prescription. he needs its s."
sam nodded. sam slowly got up and admired colby for a second before slipping on colby's shoes and walking with elton. they drove to the pharmacy and paid for the prescription before driving home when sam got an important phone call.
Sam "hello?"
jagged breathing was all that was heard.
Sam "hello?"
no answer. sam pulled the phone away and saw colby's contact pulled up on the screen with the normal phone icons.
Sam "baby? colby? honey? can you breathe? whats wrong? whats going on?"
a cough followed by a heave came through the phone. he was throwing up.
Sam "home now. now. quickly. speed. please."
elton sped up and they made it back quickly. sam didnt wait for the car to stop to get out and sprint inside finding colby on their bathroom floor shaking. blood covering his hands and face. some in his hair and then a lot in the toilet and some on his clothes. sam comforted him. told him to go to the hospital but colby ensured not to. once colby was back asleep sam texted colby's mom filling her in. colby was dreaming of a life he could live. but did he want to? with the pain he was in right now? was sam his forever? was this life his forever? was his pain everlasting? he really wished it wasn't but how could he be sure.
