The Little Things || colby brock

I was starting to get very drunk. It's been a few hours since the party started and everyone seemed to be having a good time.

Elliot sadly hasn't shown up, and I did tell Colby he was coming. I could see him tense up when I told him.

I just want the two to become friends. As Paige and myself went to the kitchen, I look over at the door to see Elliot walking in.

I couldn't help but smile widely. "Elliot!" I happily cheer as I walk over to him. I could tell he was scanning the area.

"He really packed this place up." He speaks into my ear. The music was extremely loud.

"Yeah, come take a shot with me." I grab his hand and lead him to the kitchen. Paige looked at us in shock as we walked over.

"I'm assuming you got your bathroom fixed." Elliot joked with Paige. I couldn't help but laugh as she flipped him off.

I made him a shot, the three of us counting down, and taking it together. "I'm really happy you could make it." I tell Elliot as he nodded his head.

The back door opened revealing Sam, Colby, and Grant. The three looked over at us and walked in.

"Hey, we need one more for beer pong. Do you wanna join us?" Grant asked Elliot causing us to look at them.

Elliot nodded his head, agreeing that he'll play. The four walked away, Elliot turning to me with a smile and a wave.

"Isn't it weird?" Paige asked causing me to furrow my eyebrows. "Is what weird?" I asked looking over at her.

"That the guy you used to hook up with being friends with the guy you currently want to fuck?" That's how I know she's drunk cause she started giggling.

I just shook my head while I go outside so I can watch them. I saw where Kat was sitting and went over to watch.

It was extremely funny watching them play. I could tell Elliot was a little tense at first but I could see him let loose.

I could see him joking with the boys, especially with Colby which made me happy. As they played, Paige came and we all hung out and joked.

We sat out here for a while and I didn't even see the boys walk back inside. A moment later, they stopped talking which confused me.

I look to see what they're looking at to see Colby bringing me a cake. I was shocked because I had no idea he bought a cake for me.

The crowd started watching as he walked up to me. Everyone started singing me happy birthday as I smiled.

I couldn't stop smiling at all my friends, and random party goers, singing me happy birthday. This year has been amazing.

I moved out to California, signed a record deal, recorded and put out my first single, and met some of my best friends.

Without their support, I wouldn't be here without them. When they finished singing, I blew out my candles while smiling.

Here's to twenty-one. This has been one of my favorite birthdays. I just feel very loved and appreciated.

After I blew the candles out, they took it into the kitchen so we could eat it later. The whole party was really fun.

I got so drunk, I don't remember much. One thing I do remember happening is singing and dancing with the girls.

The boys watched but I went over and grabbed Colby's hand. "Dance with me." I happily slur.

"Okay, just know I can't feel my legs." He teased which makes me laugh. His dancing was god awful but it was really funny.

I tried to do a dance move but I tripped and almost fell. Surprisingly, Colby caught me and kept me from falling.

I looked up at his bloodshot blue eyes and smiled. "Your eyes are gorgeous." I blurted out.

The ends of his mouth curve up in a smile as his cheeks flushed in a red. "I think you're drunk." He helps me stand up but I keep looking at him.

"What's that have to do with anything?" I questioned as he shrugged. After that, I don't remember much.

I just know when I woke up, my head was pounding. I opened my eyes to see I was in Colby's bed.

I wasn't alone in the bed, I looked behind me to see Colby facing away from me. I have his sweats and t-shirt on so I don't remember changing.

I check my phone to see it was seven thirty in the morning. The sun was peaking through the curtains.

I sit up and run my fingers through my hair. I look at Colby to see him peacefully asleep.

He was shirtless, the blanket draped over him. I wondered if anyone else was up so I climbed out of bed.

I looked on the couch in Colby's room to see Grant passed out.

I walk downstairs and into the living room to see Elliot on the couch, scrolling on his phone.

He looked at me and smiled. "Hungover?" He asked as I nodded my head. He sat up while putting his phone down.

"Me too. Wild party last night." I went over and sat down next to him. I laid my head on his shoulder since it hurts.

"I blacked out so it was for sure a wild party." I laughed as I thought about last night. Or tried to remember last night.

It was quiet for a moment. "I'm really happy you came." I tell him honestly. I could tell he was smiling.

"Me too. Thanks for inviting me." He softly told me. Once again, we were quiet. We heard footsteps causing me to raise my head up.

It was Sam which doesn't surprise me. "How're you feeling?" Sam asked as he walked over to us.

"Shitty, my head is pounding." He offered Tylenol, which I agreed to almost instantly. He gave me the bottle and water.

"You were pretty wild last night." Sam chuckled as I took the medicine. I just shrug as I sit the water down.

"You turn twenty-one once." I lean back so I could be comfortable. Everyone came down here one by one.

Colby was one of the last ones to come down here. I could tell he was feeling bad.

We spent the majority of the day at Sam and Colby's, trying to recover from the hangovers.

We all shared stories from last night that we thought were funny. We all just couldn't believe they were planning a fourth of July party.

"If that party is going to be like the one from last night, then I for sure wanna be there." Elliot spoke which made me happy.

It was nice seeing him give a chance to everyone. Maybe now, Grant and Paige can truly like him.

I was there for the majority of the day and Paige and myself figured we could go home to shower and clean up.

"Do you want your clothes back?" I asked Colby as we stood up, he was going to walk us out. He shook his towards me.

"No, it looks better on you than on me." He admits to me. I couldn't help but smile as I gathered all my stuff up.

"Thank you again for the party, it was really fun." I admit to him. I was very thankful he did that knowing he didn't have to do it.

I just really appreciate him.
