{Sam's POV}
"Actually, I think I'm gonna go back. I need to get some editing done for my video tomorrow..." My voice trailed off as I stood up and walked out of McDonald's.
Quickly, I got in my car, sloppily throwing my wallet wherever it landed. I raced back home, hoping to get some peace and quiet.
Some peace and quiet so that I could think about the events that had just taken place.
Colby and Stephanie...
Stephanie and Colby...
How.
I just could not believe she liked him. He didn't seem like her type.
But... What was her type?
I spent our entire relationship thinking that maybe, just maybe, something would work out between us.
I thought, maybe I'd have a chance someday...
The word someday now danced through my mind, mocking me over and over again.
I didn't know how to feel.
Before I knew it, I was in the parking garage of our apartment. I got out of the car, barely having enough energy to lock it. I ran inside the elevator, pressed the button, and watched as the doors slowly closed.
Entering the apartment, all I wanted to do was sleep. All I wanted was to forget about what happened at lunch and forget about Stephanie.
Also Nutella. I wanted Nutella. Like, a lot of it.
I plopped down on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I was so confused. Besides the fact that I was hardcore-crushing on Steph, I couldn't believe they had been holding that secret in for so long. I'm their best friend... I thought Colby told me everything.
It was crazy to even think of the fact that for the last 3 months, they were dating. The entire damn time. Not once did I suspect anything.
I just didn't want to face the fact that now I'd never have a chance with her. You see, Colby had always been so much better than me at most things. One of those things was talking to girls. Not that it was a bad thing, I was just shy.
I thought that with Stephanie, things would be different. Towards the end of my senior year of high school, I thought we'd end up together, eventually get married, and start a family.
Of course, things don't always go as planned.
I didn't feel angry at them. I just felt hurt. Knowing this would probably happen, we promised each other that we wouldn't let a girl tear us apart. This felt more like I was being torn apart.
Yes, I know. Sam stop exaggerating. Move on.
I plan to. I want her to be happy. I just always had this idea in my mind that it'd be me who would make her happy.
Not Colby.
{Colby's POV}
Stephanie and I argued the entire ride back to my apartment.
"Told you." I said.
"He was bound to find out eventually!" She shot back.
We both sighed, immediately regretting our decision to tell him.
"He looked so... So hurt." She said as I parked the car.
"Yeah. Almost as if..." I started, but stopped myself.
She looked at me, "Almost as if what?", she asked.
"Nothing. Come on, let's go talk to him." I shrugged it off and got out of my car.
"Sam?" My voice echoed through the apartment.
Nothing.
"Sammy?" Steph knocked on his door.
"Can we come in?" I said, opening the door anyway.
"I guess." Sam sat up.
We all sat still, casually trying to avoid the subject. "You okay?" Steph asked, looking down at her hands.
Sam nodded and stared directly at me. I could feel his eyes beaming a laser right through mine.
"We would've told you earlier... We just weren't sure how." I said, avoiding eye contact.
"You were scared?" Sam said, emotionless.
"Well-"
"Because if you were scared to tell me, then obviously you thought you were doing something wrong." He cut me off.
I opened my mouth to speak, but the only thing I could do was shake my head no.
"Because you're not..." He said, quietly.
"No, you're right. I felt guilty." I said, causing him to look up.
"Guilty?" He repeated. I could see Stephanie looking at me from the corner of my eye.
"Guilty." I nodded. "I know you like her, Sam." I said, rubbing my temples with my head hung low towards my knees.
He stayed quiet. Stephanie looking between Sam and I, confused as hell.
"I knew how you felt about her but I was too scared to say anything. Sam, you're my best friend. I know everything about you. Your face said it all." I said, looking up at him again and waiting for him to blow up at us.
"Well, it's true." He looked at Stephanie. "I've liked her for a long, long time... And then you got her before I could even say anything."
Stephanie stayed quiet, looking away from Sam's glance.
"And I'm sorry for that. I'm sorry, but I don't regret it." I reached and held Steph's hand in mine, watching as Sam's eyes trailed towards it.
"Colby, you...You broke our promise." Sam's voice shrunk, barely audible to us.
We all sat quietly for what seemed like hours. My eyes wandered towards the ticking clock on Sam's wall. I could see Steph's vans tapping on the beige, carpeted floor.
The room reeked of impatience, guilt, and an endless amount of negative emotions.
"Sam, I-"
"Just forget about it." He cut me off.
"What do you mean forget-"
He cut me off, again.
"There's nothing we can do about it. I can't force anybody to love me, just like I can't force anybody to keep a promise." He stood up.
"Don't do that, Sam. That's not fair." I looked up, running a hand through my hair.
"Really, it's okay." He said, opening his door.
"You're crushed, dude." I furrowed my brows.
"I can't help it. It is how it is."
With that, he walked out of the room. Neither of us were brave enough to chase after him.
