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

Nueve

over the next two days colby was getting a bit better with the antibiotics. sam couldnt wait until he was at 100% and not just feeling 50%. since colby could barely speak he used squeezing sam's hand for a answers. but today. sam had to go to school and jake was watching over him. sam was walking to his lecture with Corey when his phone rang. if it wasnt colby jo jake or kat he wasn't answering. and it wasnt any of the following. so he didnt answer and he put his phone away. a grave mistake he will regret in time to come. he sat through his two hour lecture and his teacher had asked him to stay back. his phone rang but he had to ignore it.
Mr. Mace "sam. you missed lecture the other day. i have some notes i need you to makeup and theres a catchup video posted to the lecture boards."
Sam "okay. is that all?"
Mr. Mace "you dont miss lecture. its not like you. including since this is your major. whats going on?"
Sam "im just having some personal issues right now. but i really need to go. im sorry."
sam ran out and pulled out his phone. 3 missed calls from Jake. sam immediately called back walking at a quick pace to his car.
Sam "whats up? whats wrong? is he okay?"
Jake "somethings wrong but i dont know what. are you coming back?"
Sam "yes. tell him i'll be home in fifteen. please just try to settle him until i get home. okay?"
Jake "okay sam. i got it."
Sam "thank you."
Jake "of course."
jake hung up and sam sprinted across campus to his car. he got in and drove home. he parked next to colby's car and walked inside quickly.
Sam "jake? colby?"
Jake "upstairs!"
sam ran up the stairs and walked into their room. colby was laying on the bed on his back.
Sam "hey. colby. babe."
a small smile ghosted his lips but left quicker than it came replacing it with a look of pure pain. sam walked to the bed and sat on the edge next to colby. he grabbed his hand and ran his spare through colby's hair. sweat coated his hair.
Sam "are you in pain?"
nods for yes. shakes for no. two squeezes for high. one for low. three for really really really bad. the past two days have been fairly low. but today looked like a bad day. colby nodded and pointed to his head chest and throat. colby started coughing hard. it looked painful. he pulled himself up and laid his head on sam's shoulder whimpering in pain. even that sounded painful to make.
Sam "i know baby. i know it hurts..."
Jake "im sorry..i didnt know what to do.."
Sam "its not your fault jake. don't apologize."
sam moved but held colby up. he toed off his shoes and laid where colby was lying down. he pulled colby back into him and held him. colby shakily sighed getting some relief when he was with sam. but the relief washed away and he was left in pain. he turned on his side and listened to the beat of sam's heart. it thumped in his ears. he unfortunately couldnt match his breathing but his heart rate had calmed to the pace of sam's and it lulled him to sleep. sam just combed his fingers through colbys hair soon falling asleep too. jake left the pair and walked downstairs. he saw sam's bag on the floor along with his phone. he picked up the phone and set the bag across the room next to the stairs. sam's phone started going off. he absent mindedly answered thinking it was his phone.
—— "Hello? Sam Golbach?"
then it hit him it was sam's phone not his.
Jake "uhm. hello. who is this?"
—— "I am the doctor you met with the other day. for Colby? i have some results and would like you both to come in for more testing. i tried you earlier but you hadn't picked up."
Jake "uhm. actually this is one of their friends. is there a message i can write down and leave for sam?"
Doctor "could you have them come in today? its serious."
Jake "yeah. any times?"
Doctor "does an hour work?"
Jake "im pretty sure yeah."
Doctor "thank you. have a nice day."
Jake "you too."
jake hung up and walked upstairs. sam had woken up to the door opening but colby stayed asleep.
Jake "hey.."
Sam "mmm. what up.."
Jake "doctor called your phone. wants to meet with you in an hour."
Sam "okay. okay."
sam sat up making colby whine. sam was quick to start running a hand through his hair as his breathing started sputtering again. sam updated colby and they both got up. colby took a shower and got dressed. his head was pounding and his eyes hurt. he got changed into a pair of ripped black jeans a white shirt and a zip up. he put on shades though it was getting colder and the sun wasnt shining. sam drove him to the hospital and they got updates.
