Add Friend || Solby

Chapter 11

It's a boring saturday evening and all I've been doing is having a staring contest with the ceiling. Its not a very fair game considering its a ceiling and Im a human being, but its something to do.

I barely had gotten any sleep last night because I stayed up thinking about Colby.

Speaking of him, Im surprise I wasnt being bombarded with a bunch of Bolby messages. All week we've been talking non stop.

About what? Well about anything, everything, and literally nothing.

Even when there was nothing for us to talk about, we'd send each other an endless amount of emojis, just to keep the conversation going.

One thing we didn't talk about though, was Mikey. It was weird because aside from the fact that his best friend is dead, Colby's been in a cheery mood all week. I dont know if he's over it because he's dead inside, or if he's just good at hiding how he feels, but it's almost like it never happened.

The second we left the building it was like he was no longer affected by the death. I didnt know whether to be worried or relieved.

Even yesterday when we were at McDonalds and we ran into some chick Mikey dated in high school, he didnt break down once. Not even a crack in his voice as he spoke about his recently deceased buddy. It was like I was more sad about the death, and I dont even care about the guy.

Its really got me down, the more I'd over think it. I mean, why isnt he upset? It just doesnt make sense to me.

Does he think I'll over react again if he tries to vent to me? Does he think I wont care? Does he—oh what does it matter. Colby is a very straightforward person, if he wanted to talk then he would, if he was sad, then he'd say so. I shouldnt over think about something that probably isnt a big deal.

I suppose I spoke too soon about him not messaging me, my phone just went off. I sighed to myself and decided to not answer right away.

That ended up being a mistake because the longer It took for me to reply, the more he'd message me. This kid is seriously desperate.

C: hey
C: Golbach...
C: are you busy?
C: I'm so bored!
C: can you hang out?
C: are you ok?

Leave me alone Bolby, I have to over think things, then wallow in self pity!

S: I'm fine, todays just kind of sucked. I barely got any sleep last night
C: you'll be saying that every night If you stick with me.

I read his message over a few times. I laughed awkwardly to myself and set my phone down to pop my knuckles.

S: bro, if im having a bad day after sex then you should probably work on your performance
C: ... True. I shouldnt have said that. I just roasted myself.
S: 😂
C: anyway, party tonight. Do you wanna come with me?
S: nah. Parties are stupid
C: not with me there! I dont want to go alone, please come with!
S: Idk man..
C: Please...
S: who's going to be there?
C: ... People from high school.
S: yeah... No. I'm just going to stay home
C: please, I dont want to go alone...Its kind of a remembrance party for Mikey
S: um I guess I can make an appearance...
