To Save A Blackened Heart

Chapter 32 - Starved

I wake up in the morning with a shitty headache. I see light peeking in through the curtains before I realize this isn't my room. I have a moment of panic before looking over and seeing what looks like Colby. 
Yn- Colby? Is that you?
He takes a deep breath in and looks at me with the faintest smile. I don't know why but I push myself up and pull him into a hug, and he hesitantly hugs back.
Yn- I don't know how I ended up in here, when you came back or why you left, but I do know that for some reason I'm glad your back. You actually cared enough to come back. Nobody's ever cared enough to come back
I was definitely still morning after drunk, as I was up rather late and drank a decent amount. I lean on his shoulder and apologize
Yn- I'm sorry you heard me and Devyn. I can't imagine how much it must suck to hear and know how everyone really feels
Colby- Don't be sorry. I only left because you were right. You would turn out like me. I wouldn't be able to lose you if I loved you hard enough. And I don't want to snap on you. Someone as beautiful as yourself has been through enough and I'd hate to be any more of your stress or trauma
I really don't know what to say to him and it's making me sort of sad. Why would he be saying I've been through enough when he's quite literally gotten his life ripped away from him?
Yn- so.. this girl. How long had you been in love?
Colby- Well.. umm I guess not even a year. She was basically the first I fell for so hard I suppose. 
Yn- When did you start trying things out with her?
Colby- not that it matters.. but a month
Yn- Well I've been here a couple months 
Colby- Okay? Soo?
I pull away and look him in the eye. The genuine emotion behind his eyes, the pain, the sorrow, the memories. And yet I still see the little glimmer of a small hope
Yn- I don't know. Just rambling I guess 
His face is so soft, so defined.
Colby- Well I do apologize for disappearing. I didn't think it'd truly affect you like that 
His lips form a small smile, his eyebrows show concern, I move a little closer to him. 
Yn- It's okay, I suppose I can forgive you
His eyes start to soften and he seems to move a little closer as well
Sam- Devyn I swear I just can't find her! The only thing in her bed is Colby's hoodie and phone. Do you think she left to find him?
And suddenly Colby's door bursts open, Sam's face shocked. Colby's face completely loses emotion and he looks right at Sam 
Sam- What were you- your back! Guys he's back! 
Sam looks between us and puts his finger on his lips with a smile before walking up to Colby and hugging him
Colby- I'm sorry man. I won't do it again. At least I think I won't. I'm just stressed.
