Chapter 8: Gonna party like we just turned 21

Sam

Colby has been distant. I don't blame him after what I said and did after the video with Brennen. I just wish I could take it back. And now he's forgotten my birthday. I don't know how long I sit with my thoughts before my phone rings. It's Colby. I debate not answering but something tells me to pick up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey Sam. Can you come over?"

"Uhh, sure I guess," I say.

I grab my keys, locking the door behind me. I head over and knock on his door. He opens it and leads me to the couch.

"Sit down and close your eyes," he says.

"Umm, okay?" I say, doing what he says.

"Okay, now hold out your hand," he says.

I do and he places something small and cold in my hand.

"Open your eyes."

I look down to see a ring sitting in my palm. I'm speechless. What does this mean?

"You know you mean everything to me. I could never forget you. This is that promise," he says.

I hug him tightly as the tears start falling

"There's one more thing," he says, offering me his hand.

He leads me downstairs where all of our friends are waiting. How could I have thought he would forget? We spend the night dancing and having fun with our friends. When everyone leaves, we head up to his apartment. He turns on some music and pulls me close.
