Always

Chapter 5

"Those girls never lasted more than a few days to a few weeks. He was never in love. Not really. Until you. I honestly thought you would be just another one of those girls...but you weren't. Colby kept bringing you around, you started hanging out with us, becoming one us. I've seen a smile on his face more this past year than any other time. That's when he's not on camera. He hangs out with us more, instead of staying his emo ass locked away by himself. I think you're good for him. You're good for all of us." She leaned forward, bring me in for a hug. "I'm so glad that you guys found each other, because we all found you that day." "Hey! What about me?" Serena cried. I laughed, pulling back from Kat, wiping the stray tear that was falling from my eye. "You too, S. We love you too." Kat said, laughing. "Plus Brennen calmed his ass down too, so that's a plus." Serena laughed. "Yeah, I love his stupid ass though." A combination of their sweet words and the alcohol had me trying to fight the tears that were destined to come. "You guys really don't think I'm making a mistake?" I asked, wiping my eyes. "Awww, don't start crying! You'll have us all crying!" Kat exclaimed. "I really don't think you are. I am a little upset that we won't get that double wedding that you know Sam and Colby have probably been planning since they became best friends." We all laughed at that. "But, I think...no, I know that you guys are right for each other. It's like...with Sam. He's my other half. He completes me in a way that I never had until I found him. I believe that's what it's like for you guys. Am I right?" I nodded, sniffing. "I don't think that I could live without him now. He's too much of a part of me." I laughed a little, and looked down at my ring. "He owns my whole damn heart, body, mind, and soul." "Then I say that ring is exactly where it needs to be!" Kat exclaimed, holding up her full shot glass. "To Y/N and Colby!" She yelled. We all toasted and tossed back another shot. "Okay, I'm dizzy. I'm slowing down." I said, leaning back on the couch. "When date are you guys thinking of anyways?" Tara asked, as she grabbed the remote from beside me. I had forgotten to turn anything on. "I don't know. We haven't discussed anything yet." "We got the other stuff out of the way, so now I need details hun...and don't leave anything out!" Serena demanded. "When did he ask you?" Oh boy, I thought. Here we go. "Uum, twoweeksago." I said muttered quickly. "What? Did you just say what I think you said?" I glanced at her, chewing on my bottom lip. "He asked me 2 weeks ago, S." "And you're just now telling me!? What the hell, Y/N?!" "I know, I know, I'm sorry!" I exclaimed. "But I was scared of how you would react, since my first marriage was such a disaster, and I know that I wouldn't do this again, and-" She cut me off. "STOP. I get it...I guess." She still looked disappointed. "Can't believe you didn't tell me." I put my arm around her shoulders. "I'm sorry S. Truly I am. I wanted to ask you though...whenever we do finally say I do...will you be my Maid of Honor?" She turned her head towards me, a huge grin spreading across her face. She threw her arms around me and screamed "Hell Yes I will! Aaaah!" I laughed and pulled back, looking at Kat, Dev, and Tara. "You guys will be my bridesmaids?" They squealed. "Yeeeesss!" "Of course!" "Thought you'd never ask!" We all laughed and hugged. "Okay, more details!" S exclaimed. I told them exactly what and how it happened down to every last little dirty detail. "Let's just say...These last two weeks haven't been spent just in the bedroom." "OmG, Y/N! The couch?! Right here, where I'm sitting?" Tara yelled, looking disgusted. I laughed. "There's literally nowhere in this apartment that we didn't....christen." I rolled my eyes at her. "Meanwhile, we all know that Jake's couch or apartment isn't exactly...clean, now is it?" She blushed a little bit and looked down. "No, probably not." "Woohoo, go Tara!" Dev exclaimed grabbing her shoulder and laughing. Tara looked up smiling. "Okay, Okay, can we move on now?" We laughed. "Yeah, let's dance!" Kat said, standing up and pulling me with her. 

Colby's POV

I splashed some water on my face and looked at myself in the bathroom mirror at Barcade. It was this bar where we could get some food, drink, and play arcade games. Pretty fun actually. I was super nervous because I still hadn't told the guys and time was running out. Sam kept asking me what was up, and I kept dodging the question. Brennen kept pushing to go to the club but I wasn't feeling it. Not after what happened a few weeks ago. I dried my face and fixed my hair. It was a little sweaty from laser tag but there wasn't anything I could do about that. Sam walked in the bathroom, just as I was turning to leave. "Hey brother." He said, slapping me on the shoulder as he walked by me to the urinals. I nodded at him and started to walk out but changed my mind. I was going to tell him first and alone. I turned back around. "Hey Sam, can I talk to you for a minute?" I asked, my voice shaking a little because I was so nervous. He looked at me, his eyebrows going up. "Can I finish pissing first? That's kind of awkward." I laughed. "Yeah bro." I turned away from him, and waited for him to finish. "Alright, what's up man? You good?" I turned back towards him.
