Maybe sometime in the future (Sam and Colby)

8

I wake up and check my phone to see that it was now 2pm and I had slept through most of the day, I'd gotten a text message from my grandma saying I should stay here another night and that I should have fun and to message her when I woke up. I did as she asked and then remembered that id fallen asleep with Jake. I looked to the side of me and he was there face down in the pillow snoring softly. I smiled and laughed quietly, I went to the bathroom and headed out of his room to see if anyone in the house was awake, I saw Kat and she smiled at me before walking out of the front door. Does this mean that Sam is awake? I walk back upstairs and pop my head around the corner to Sam's room and he's sitting up in bed on his phone, he looks up at me and smiles, putting his phone down and patting the bed next to him. I go over and sit down laying next to him with my head on his shoulder

"I thought you hated me" I finally say my voice coming out softer than I intended

"of course I don't hate you doofus, you just didn't know how to tell us and that's fine, something like that is a hard thing to bring up in conversation, and we understand we can't say anything Jake filled us in" he says also in his usual soft voice

"How's Colby feeling?" I find myself asking him

"he's grieving just like you and I but we both know Colby deals with that in his own way, he cried a lot last night I mean Lorna your parents were like our second parents. Something like that... Hurts" Sam explains to me

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner" I say a single tear falling down my face

"don't be" he says while putting his hand on my shoulder

I just sit there my head still on his shoulder taking everything in. Wow my best friends are famous and I'm now back in contact with them after years but the only thing is that my parents aren't here to witness us actually grow up together even more

"my parents would love this right now, right after you left they always asked if I had heard anything from you guys or if I was friends with you again, it's all they wanted. It's a shame they can't see it now" i say my voice breaking a little

"well the trio is back together now and we're not going anywhere... Non of us. And if you and Jake do end up getting together I think you will be good for him, he needs someone like you in his life, someone to bring him down to earth. And don't worry about Colby, he knows he had his chance and you've both grown so much since then. Besides you and Jake have some serious chemistry" he says with a laugh and a nudge which makes me laugh too

"you think?" I giggle

"I wouldn't be saying this if I didn't, you know what colby and I are like when it comes to you with boys, we're too overprotective of you but I'm actually telling you to go for it, plus you're all jake talks about. Get to know him more and then see where it goes" he says, I could hear the happiness in his voice

"I might do just that" I say with a sigh of relief

We didn't talk much more about the subject of my parents, we spoke about jake and about how he hasn't shut up talking about me since he met me in the airport and about some of the memories from when we were kids and all the shit we used to get ourselves into by going into abandoned buildings and jump scaring people in malls. Eventually the whole house woke up and we all got ready for the day, Devyn letting me borrow some of her clothes, colby still hasn't left his room and it's now 6pm. I know he's awake because he's been posting on social media, jake and I have been flirting non stop and talking more about ourselves to get to know each other even more, I really like this goofy boy and I think he really likes me too
