"You're welcome for those!" Sam calls out, hurrying behind me.

We turn the corner into my apartment and as I am about to open the door to my room, Sam says, "Wait, lets scare them instead. That'll be payback for them making out." 

I smirk, "Alright, on the count of three."

He whispers with me, "One,... two...three!"

"Boo-" 

Our scare to them quickly turns into a scare for us.

"AHHH!" We both scream, petrified. I shut the door as quickly as I can. 

"OH MY GOD," I breathe out, shocked, disgusted and horrified, "ON MY BED TOO, OH MY GOD EW EW GROSS." 

I drop the blankets and sprint out my apartment, and down the hall to the elevator. 

I think I just witnessed my best friend and my mortal enemy having sex. 

/////

I'm sitting at the end of my apartment's hallway on the floor next to the elevator. Mortified. Not knowing whether I should go back, or leave. I feel betrayed, my best friend just did that to me.

A little cut was just sliced into my heart.

My emotions were having it's own confusion. I didn't know whether to cry, or scream out of anger.

Cry, because I am jealous.

Scream, because I'm mad.

Also because they're doing it on my bed. 

Fuck, those are new sheets too! Damn, my night is just going so well, isn't it? I had opened the door to innocently scare them, to get back at them for making out but instead, I had opened the door to see them scaring me. I just saw them under my blanket, Colby had his shirt off and I think Ellie did too. Or at least she had a bra on? I don't know, too many details makes things worst. When we opened the door, their backs were to us, so I couldn't really tell if she had the bra on or off. But still, they even turned around and looked at us frozen. #Exposed and shit but like that's disgusting. I swear I made eye contact with Colby for a split second and almost hurled the popcorn.

Colby fucking Brock, why must you ruin fucking everything?

I bury my red face into my sweaty palms. I slowly stand up and as I'm about to press the elevator button, Sam stops me.

"Hey, don't go, who else am I going to be scarred for life with?" He asks, semi-smiling.

"Me, I guess," I sigh, nudging his side and walking back to my apartment. He wraps an arm around me.

"Lets not go back to your apartment if you want to be able to see again," He says, diverting me to his apartment instead.

"Good idea."

We arrive into his apartment, somehow Sam saved a lot of the popcorn since he didn't drop it while running off, unlike me. I abandoned those blankets, like lol nope. 

"Well, since you can't go back into your room, you could just spend the night here. If you want, that is." Sam says, sweetly.

He's a great guy, why can't I like him and not Colby?

"Thanks Sam, you're so sweet, how do you not have a girlfriend?" I ask, hugging him.

"I don't know. I'm such a catch!," He smiles, wrapping his arms around me. 

"Yes you are, kid," I reply still hugging him. He releases from my embrace a few short seconds later.

"It's getting late. Are you tired?" He questions, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Nah, it's 11:10, lets do something," I reply.

"Well, what's open at this time?" His expression turns to a puzzled look.

"Sam, this is Los Angeles, California. One of the cities that never sleeps. There's gotta be something open at this time," I look at him. Stupid Kansas kid needs to learn his shit about California kids. I'm now one, so he could learn a thing or two from me. "Are you tired? It'd be nine in Kansas, you can't already be adjusted to California time now."

"No, I'm not tired... Lets just go, get away from here," He says, dragging my arm out the door, "And if all else fails, McDonald's is open twenty-four hours!" 

"Yay, night adventure!"

We hold hands and run quickly down the hall, into the elevator. As we get into the elevator, I couldn't help but think about Colby and Ellie. Would this all be different if Colby and I were actually friends?

Maybe, if I didn't hate him.

I hate liking my rival.
