it's been about a month since I came out to everyone, it's gone really well. Ethan has been coming over a lot, he's hung out with the whole group and they all get a long really well, that makes everything so much easier, it makes me happy that the people I care about most, are friends.

"overnight in an amusement park?"

"no! overnight in a bowling alley!"

"I agree with Sam! bowelling alley sounds cool"

right now, we're trying to come up with new video ideas for TFIL

"alright bowling alley it is"

"can Ethan come?" they all nod as I call him to ask if he wants to come with us

"hey Colbs"

"hey babe! wanna do an overnight video with us tomorrow night?" I ask cheerfully

"sorry I cant- hey can I come over?" he sounds sad

"um yeah of course" I smile even though he can't see me

"I'll be there soon" we say our goodbyes and hang up

we're all talking about mindless nonsense until I hear a knock at the door, I get up, open door and it reveals a puffy and bloodshot eyes Ethan

"babe? what's wrong?" I go to hug him but he shakes his head and pushes me away

"colby we-we we-um have to- I'm so sorry" he sobs

"come in, please, tell me what's wrong" he walks in the doorway and wipes his tears before speaking again

"I'm sorry colby- it was a mistake i-i please forgive me" he breaks out in sobs "I was drunk and she meant nothing to me" my face begins to turn pale at his words

"w-what are you saying?" I speak in a low voice

"I slept with my ex- i-i cheated on you" he whispers

I feel tears about to spill out of my eyes

"get out"

"c-col-"

"get the fuck out. we're done" I slam the door in his face as he starts to walk out slowly

everyone sitting on the couch turns to me at the sudden noise of the door

now that he's gone, I'm not afraid to let the tears fall from my eyes

"I hate him! I hate him! I FUCKING HATE HIM!" I scream with my head in my hands

"are you alright? what happened?"

"he-he he fucking cheated on me"

"HE DID WHAT!?" before I could even look up to see who said that, Jake and Sam were already out the door, slamming it behind them. I don't know what they were gonna do to him, but I don't care.

"want a hug?" I nod as Tara walks over and wraps her arms around me.

"we're all here for you Colby"

the next few hours are spent by me sitting on the couch sobbing with my head in my hands

"what do you wanna have for dinner?" someone asks

"I'm not hungry"

"Taco Bell?" Tara suggests, knowing its my favourite

"I don't want it" I mumble

"you gotta eat something" Sam urges

"I said no! why can't you guys just leave me alone?" I walk off upstairs, slam my door and listen to music in the dark

I hear everyone leave a few hours later then Sam walks in and sits on the edge of my bed and pokes my leg lightly to get my attention, I take my earphones out and sigh slightly

"we didn't mean to piss you off earlier"

"I know, I'm just overreacting about everything" I groan as I start to tear up thinking about what happened today

"no you're not, you don't deserve that shit, it kills me to see you hurt like this"

I sit up in my bed and start to cry again. I'm such a baby

"hey, Colbs don't cry, it's gonna be okay" he moves up and sits next me and wraps his arm around my shoulder

"I know why he cheated on me" Sam looks at me with a weird look on his face

"I'm just not good enough"

"you are good enough, he's the one that's not good enough, he's the cheater, he's a shitty person, don't let him make you think you're not good enough" I can see his slight smile even in the darkness "anyone that gets to be with you should consider themselves the luckiest person on earth" he looks away and I look down with a blush on my cheeks

I don't know why I'm blushing, I'm just glad it's dark and he can't see me

"I just don't believe it, I loved and trusted him, if I wasn't good enough for him then I'm obviously not good enough for anyone else"

"Cole Robert Brock, you are more than good enough, you're honest and truthful, you're always there for everyone whenever they need you, you listen to everyone's problems, you're the most genuine person there is, you're always sticking up for me and everyone else, you care so deeply for everyone and that's what makes you so vulnerable" he shifts slightly and makes eye contact before speaking again

"and that's how I know you're fucking perfect"

before I can even process his words, his lips are on mine

it takes me a second to realise what's happening, then I kiss him back

Sam pulls away a few minutes later

"fuck" he mumbles and tries to get up, but I pull him back down

"I didn't know you could kiss like that" I smirk

"oh I can do a lot better"

"prove it"

he jumps on the bed, landing right next to me and reattaching his lips to mine

we fall asleep not long after

I wake up and see Sam snuggled into my chest, I take the opportunity I play with his hair softly

he groans quietly but still doesn't open his eyes "stop it kat"

I frown at his words and his eyes shoot open "sorry I just-"

"it's fine" I start to sit up but he drags me down again

"I like when you play with my hair, she'd kinda pull it and hurt me, but you're gentle" I smile at his words and he kisses my cheek getting up to take a shower 

"what are you doing to me Sam?" I whisper to myself.
