Unexpected Love || Colby Brock

twenty-five

I held onto Colby for most of the morning. He hasn't said anything about what happened. He's just been quietly crying in my arms.

It broke my heart watching him cry like this. I held onto him until he had calmed down.

He eventually fell asleep around ten so I let him lay in my bed. I carefully get up so I can see who all's awake.

I was exhausted. I don't remember the last time I had a full nights sleep.

When I walk into the living room, everyone was sitting and looking awful.

"How is he?" Tara asked as I shrugged. I sit down next to her and my brother. I could feel my eyes are bloodshot.

"He just now fell asleep . He cried in my arms a little bit." I explain to them. It was pretty sad.

Everyone pouted. "Kat messaged me saying that they lost a bunch of footage so they're both pretty upset." I frown at the thought.

I don't think I've ever seen Colby this upset before. "I just wish I could do something to help him." I frown towards them.

"Maybe we can go to a park or something. Get them out of the house." Erica suggested. Jake groaned as Silas shook his head.

"Did you all forget I threw everything up a few hours ago?" Silas pointed out. We all shrug as we look at him.

We really looked like a shit show. "Yeah, I wonder why." Erica teased him. Silas flipped her off which made us laugh.

We were all exhausted. But we were in too much pain to sleep or do anything. As we laid there, I could hear my door open up.

I look to see Colby had woken up. He also looked exhausted. But for different reasons.

I sit up so I can look at him. I get up and walk over towards him. "Hey, how're you feeling?" I whisper to him.

I don't want to make a big deal out of it. "Very tired." As he looks at me, I can see worry creep up on his face.

"Have you not slept?" I shake my head. He pouts towards me. Before I could say anything, he picked me up.

He threw me up and over his shoulder. I could hear a few gasps from the couch.

"Colby, what the fuck?" I ask confused. He takes me into my room. He gently puts me on my bed.

"You need sleep." I frown towards him. I'm to the point where I'm not even tired.

He slowly climbed into bed next to me. I made sure to keep my eyes on him.

"I'm not even tired though." We both frown towards each other. We were both looking at each other softly.

"We can talk until you fall asleep." I nodded my head in agreement. As we laid there, I could see him laugh to himself.

"So how did Silas end up passed out on the bathtub?" He asked laughing. I laughed at the thought of it.

I explained how when Silas and Jake finished the tequila, they doordashed beer and had a drinking competition. 

"He was asleep like that for a few hours so I don't know how he's not sore." I explain. He wanted to hear all about last night.

So I told him. But I made sure to leave out the part of me asking about Colby and Amanda. As we talked, I could feel myself get tired.

He sighed as he looked at me. He took a strand of my hair and tucked it behind my ear.

"I can tell you're getting tired." He spoke to me softly. I nodded my head as we laid there.

"Yeah, but I wanna make sure you're okay." I could see a little sparkle in his eyes.
