"You have got to stop thinking about somebody you can't have" I sighed angrily at myself, sitting on a ledge that looked over the entire bottom of the hospital.

"Colby?" Sam walked over with a flashlight, shining it directly in my eyes.

"Geez, dude! Chill out with the flashlight" I shielded my eyes, Sam muttering an apology and sitting next to me.

"Talk to me man, I heard you from over there. I can tell you aren't good" Sam dangled his legs over the ledge. Letting out a sigh, I didn't wanna say anything.

"It's nothing" I tapped my fingers on the concrete underneath me.

"You've been acting weird all day. It seems like you're acting fake in front of the camera but when we try to talk to you, you're dry as heck. What's going on? I'm your best friend, you can talk to me" Sam played around with the flashlight, visibly annoyed.

"What if I don't wanna talk?" I groaned.

"I'm trying to help you, Colby, you need to start talking to your best friend instead of bottling this up. Elton told us you stayed up all night last night. Why didn't you talk to me?" Sam made me look at him, his tone of voice becoming strong, almost like he would burst into anger at any second.

"I don't wanna talk about anything, stop trying to get me to. I don't need any of your help, I'm perfectly fine" my knees pulled up to my chest, my hands wrapping around my legs. Sam stood up and let out an agitated sigh.

"Fine then, if you don't want your best friend's help, I won't bother you any longer" he mumbled before turning on his heel and walking off. I rolled my eyes and let my legs drop, wanting to scream.

"Goddammit!" I threw a rock that was next to me down on the floor below.

-Sam's POV-

"Fine then, if you don't want your best friend's help, I won't bother you any longer" I walked off, tired of trying to help Colby when he knew he needed to talk to somebody. I had no idea what was going on until I walked back to Corey and Elton.

"What's going on with him?" They simultaneously whispered.

"He got angry with me. I have no idea. It's not like Colby to be so agitated" I crossed my arms across my chest, Elton and Corey nodding in agreement.

"Do you think it's because Briana doesn't wanna date him so soon or something? I heard she wanted to take things slow and maybe that's why Colby is acting so pissed off" Corey suggested, making a point. Maybe it was that, but Colby could've and should've talked to me. I'm supposed to be his best friend.

"If it is that, he's being stubborn" I sighed, following the others to get Colby. The rest of the experience at the abandoned hospital was pretty awkward and an uncomfortable environment. Colby looked as if he wanted to leave, so we left. We picked up some food on the way home and vlogged at home. Colby sat on his phone mostly, not saying much at all to us. I just wanted him to talk to me and at times I would glance at him to see if he would look at me but he didn't. He was staring into space.

-Colby's POV-

After Sam and I's talk, I guess you could say, I thought and thought about everything. I found myself at one point, scrolling through Briana's Instagram, wanting her and I to be something more. But she wasn't ready. And I had to respect that. After constant thought, I decided to try and move on. If she wasn't ready, I was tired of waiting for her to be. Of course, when she was, she could tell me. But I couldn't stay in a constant state, waiting for her to text me and say "I'm ready". I heard Sam call me stubborn and that's what I was being. I couldn't accept the fact that she didn't wanna take it further and so I'm being difficult.

Elton, Sam, Corey and I returned home. They were vlogging and messing around whilst I was zonked out on my phone. My mind was running rapid with thoughts when my phone's message tone snapped me out of my daze.

"Dylan is hosting a party in Beverly Hills?" Aaron looked down at his phone screen, everybody doing the same

"Yup, we've gotta go" Elton set down his camera and looked around at us.

"Agreed" Sam locked his phone, glancing at me before looking away. Admittedly, I did want to go. Maybe I would get my mind somewhere else for the night. Even if I saw Briana, it would be cool. We're cool, right?
