It was now late at night. Colby had left hours ago. I just laid in bed, wrapped in my blanket like a burrito.

I spent hours stressing over what had happened, hours. The second he had gone, I was left me alone to overthink. I over analyzed what happened. I spent so much time thinking about it, that I didnt do anything but lay in my bed all day. I spent so much time dwelling on how he acted, that I just no longer care.

I've come to the conclusion that it's just our friendship, we joke around a lot. It doesnt matter. We constantly fake flirted before, what does it matter if he says he's kidding afterwards? It doesnt. What does it matter that he just held me? It doesnt.

Anyway, its late so I need to sleep. My days been annoying and stressful and I'm exhausted.

However, Bolby doesnt seem to think I need to sleep considering he messaged me.

C: hey Golbach.
S: Go to sleep, Bolby.
C: I cant!
S: are you ok?
C: yeah. I just have too much on my mind right now
S: anything you want to talk about?
C: yes
S: alright, then shoot
C: Mikey
S: Mikey?
C: yes
S: Mike Wazowski?
C: Golbach, I'm going to have to kindly ask you to shut up
S: Im kindly going to tell you no.
C: 😑
S: tell me what you wanted to say
C: I'm sorry
S: for?
C: You didnt deserved to be bullied
S: oh...
C: I promise you, I tried to tell him to stop
S: I know, you've told me that already
C: I know but if I would have tried a little harder, you wouldnt have forgotten high school.
S: its not your fault.
S: wait
S: how did you know that?
C: you told me. You dont remember?
S: was it last night?
C: no... It was before then.
S: oh. No I dont.
C: weird
S: yeah. I guess I forget a lot? This is going to bug me now.
C: I'm sorry
S: its cool. Its not like you just stole my memories.
C: 😂
S: was that all that was bothering you?
C: yes
S: are you sure?
C: yes.
S: ok. Well I need to get some sleep, goodnight.
C: goodnight 💙
S: ....💙?
C: 💙
S: ...
C: 💙 (I will continue to send them until you send one back)
S: desperate much?
C: 💙
S: 💙
S: happy?
C: very 😊
S: well goodnight
C: night. Just kidding
