Sam was watching television with Katrina when Colby walked into the house, fuming.
"Oh hey Colby! Oh- i uhm. I'm gonna go. See you later Sam."
she instantly knew Colby was mad so she left without a trace. Sam stood up and slowly walked towards Colby with a confused look on his face.
"Babe? What's goin on?"
"Do you like kat?"
Colby's voice boomed throughout their small apartment making the blonde shocked.
"Okay first of all, calm down and quiet your voice. Second of all no of course not. I've been with you since I was sixteen. Colby, we're twenty one."
"Im not fucking stupid Sam, i know that."
"So then why are you asking if I like Katrina?"
"Because everyone ships you two! Online! Offline! It's like you two are meant to be together and I'm on the sidelines!"
"Colby, baby, why are you so upset?
"Because you like her!"
"Hey, Colbs, look at me."
"WHAT!"
Colby snapped at Sam and he flinched back at the loud tone. He was triggered by yelling, he hated yelling, he tried to hide it but it was inevitable.
"I-i-i don't like Kat Colbs..."
"YES YOU DO! IT'S OBVIOUS SAM! HAVE YOU SEEN THE WAY YOU LOOK AT HER?!"
"You're l-letting it g-g-get to you t-too much.."
"SAM, WE ARE DATING! YOU CAN'T LOOK AT OTHER PEOPLE LIKE THAT! IT MAKES YOU A FUCKING WHORE!"
Sam was taken aback by the wording and so was Colby, but he couldn't take it back and he couldn't control it.
"Oh..."
"IT MAKES YOU A CHEATING FUCKING WHORE! IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE NOW SAM?!"
Sam shook his head. He stepped back and looked down, he felt small. there were seven words running through his head at the moment. "He's just angry. He doesn't mean it."
"ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME!"
Sam jumped and snapped his head up. He nodded but it only infuriated Colby more.
"SO YOU DO LIKE KATRINA! I KNEW YOU WERE CHEATING ON ME! WHAT THE HELL!"
"You know i-i-i love you Colby. I do but yeah maybe i do like Kat."
"W-what? No you don't! Do you?!"
"No! O-of course i fucking dont! If we recall im not the fucking cheater! Do we remember Marissa?! The girl YOU cheated on ME with that NOBODY FUCKING KNOWS ABOUT! BECAUSE I DO! FUCK YOU COLBY! WHY THE HELL AM I GONNA CHEAT ON YOU?! AND WITH KATRINA?! SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND! SHE HAS A BOYFRIEND! OH LOOK I DO TOO! AND LITTLE FUN FACT! IM FUCKING GAY AND YOUVE KNOWN THIS SINCE THE EIGHTH FUCKING GRADE! I'VE KNOWN YOU SINCE I WAS SIX! YOU'RE ALL I KNOW! WHY WOULD I FUCK THAT UP COLBS?! WHY!?"
"I dont...i dont know..."
"WHAT?! ARE YOU SURPRISED I SAID SOMETHING FOR ONCE?! YOU NEED TO CONTROL YOUR ANGER! FOR ONE TIME IN YOUR LIFE STOP BLAMING ME FOR YOUR INSECURITIES AND GETTING MAD AND TAKING IT OUT ON ME WHEN I DID JACK FUCKING SHIT! I LOOKED AT KAT AND PEOPLE ASSUME WERE A THING! DO YOU EVEN SEE THE SOLBY SHIPPERS?! HOW THEY CATCH EVERY TIME I GET SHY AROUND YOU?! OR MY STUTTER I GET AROUND YOU?! OR THE SIDE GLANCES I SEND TO YOU IN VIDEOS?! 
sam screamed feeling his panic attack raising more and more. Colby shook his head looking down clenching and unclenching his fists.
"No of course you dont. You only see things from your perspective and what you've seen, as fucking usual."
Sam couldn't breathe. He was now having a bad panic attack and he had just ranted and gone off on Colby.
"Fuck this sam, i cant keep doing it."
"D-doing what?"
"This, us, were bad for each other."
"What?"
"Dont you see! Were fueling each other! Who knew, the broken anxiety ridden boy and the anger problem freak show would finally break each other."
"So that's it, you're just giving up on us? on all that we've spent YEARS building?"
"Do you see a point in fighting?"
"Yeah."
"And what's that."
"You."
"Sam we're breaking up."
"WHY?! WHY ARE YOU LEAVING!"
"JUST FUCKING STOP! OKAY?! WE'RE DONE SAM! Were done..."
"Fine..."
"I'll get my stuff later, at a different time."
"Have fun sleeping around.."
"You know for a fact that won't happen."
"How would I know. We spent five years in a relationship together and years before that by ourselves, how would i know what the fuck your gonna do."
"I can't fix you. You can't fix me."
"okay..."
Colby just left, no goodbye, no nothing. he simply just left Sam in their apartment alone. Sam wrapped his arms around himself. He took a few steps back trying to comprehend what was happening. He walked into the room and slammed the door locking it. He sat on the bed and curled in a ball. He sat there for weeks and didn't move. As for Colby, he drove to Brennen's anger fueling him, though the more he drove away from his lover, or ex lover, the more he felt the anger go away and the sadness seep in. He could barely even remember the fight. He only remembers bits and pieces but he does remember wanting to hit Sam, and that's why he left. He didn't want to hit him or hurt him in any way. He got to Brennen's and stumbled up to his apartment and banged on his door. As soon as Brennen opened it Colby ran inside and locked himself in the bathroom emptying his stomach. He wanted to tell himself how much of a dream it was, but it didn't work and from there he locked himself in Brennen's spare bedroom for weeks. Slowly his recollection of the fight came in and it made everything so much worse on him.
