Ch 37

3rd Person POV

As Sam and Colby entered their apartment complex, they couldn't help by lock hands and Sam rested his head on Colby's shoulder with a big smile. Colby looked down and smiled at his now fiancé.

They made their way up to their rooms. Colby didn't know which room the party would be in. He didn't even know about the party until about 20 minutes ago when Corey spammed his phone, asking how it went and that they were throwing a party.

He decided to take Sam home. He looked in the apartment and say nothing. "H-Hey, I'll be right back. I have to go get something." He said, as Sam nodded.

Colby leaned in and pressed a small, quick kiss on his lips before heading down the hall to his own room. As he opened the door, he saw an actual mess.

Aaron and Elton was fighting as they tried to hang up a banner, saying "IT WILL BE OK". Katrina was arguing with Jake as she tried to ice the cake and he tried stealing the icing. Corey was yelling at everyone, trying to get them to stop fight. And Devyn was running around, trying to help anyone who needed it.

"You're putting it too low, Elton!" Aaron said.

"YOU'RE putting it too HIGH!" Elton yelled back.

"JAKE! STOP EATING THE ICING! WE NEED THAT!" Kat yelled, pushing him away with her hips.

"This icing is terrible." Jake responded.

"It was my grandma's recipe!" Kat yelled louder.

"GUYS! Stop arguing! They're going to be back soon!" Corey yelled over everyone.

"Colby's back!" Devyn yelled. They spun around, dropping the banner and the icing spatula.

"What the hell is this?" Colby asked.

"It's your party!" Elton said.

"Why does that banner say 'it will be ok'? And why is the cake cut in half, one said saying the same and the other side saying 'congrats'? He asked.

"Because you wouldn't respond to any texts so we didn't know how it went! So who's fault is this, Colbae?" Corey asked.

"Throw the negative stuff away cause he said yes. Goddammit." Colby said. They widened their eyes and screamed.

"WAIT REALLY?!" Devyn screeched. Colby nodded. They screamed again and went in for a hug.

"GUYS! We'll celebrate later. But I need to go get him before he wonders what happened." They all nodded and let him go to get Sam.

For the rest of the night, they all partied and had some cake. The couple explained how they both somehow proposed on the same night.

Devyn and Corey quickly revealed that they've been engaged since April, which made everyone even more happy.

———-a few weeks later————

"Ok, ok. Close your eyes."

"Colby, I can't close my eyes. You put a blindfold over them."

"Still. I don't want you to see through it and see the surprise."

"Yeah because I would be able to see through a black blindfold."

"Well, the sun is pointed down and facing our direction which can give you a bit of light through the blindfold."

"Look at you, Mr. Scientist."

"Ok take it off in 3... 2... 1!"

Sam took off the blindfold, which some help from Colby. He looked up and saw a large, beautiful house.

He looked up at it in awe. "This... is amazing! What is this-"

He turned around and saw Colby holding a pair of keys which a smirk, making him widen his eyes more.

"You didn't!" Sam said loudly in excitement, a hint of a valley-girl voice in it.

"Yes. I. Did!" Colby said, repeating the excited valley-girl voice.

"COLE ROBERT BROCK!" Sam yelled, jumping in his arms. The brunette laughed and hugged back tightly. "You're insane! I love you!" They let go and looked back at the house.

"Am I your sugar daddy yet?" Colby asked, looking at Sam with a smirk.

"No, and you never will be because I hate that stuff." Sam said, not looking away from the house. Colby chuckled and took out the camera, pressing record. "What's that for?"

"I wanted to vlog you seeing the house for the first time and a house tour." Colby said, making his way to the door.

"But... there's no furniture yet!" Sam yelled. But Colby, smiled. He secretly already got furniture in there with help from their house designers and moms: Kat and Devyn.

He opened the door to the house with Sam still shocked as he looked into the front room.

When they were done with the tour, Sam was still shocked about everything. He was shocked about the house itself, already furniture in there, and the rooms in the house.

There were 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (one in the master bedroom), a huge editing room, a large dining room and kitchen, a fancy living room, a pool, a patio, and more.

"So, moving day is next Thursday, if that's fine." Colby said. Sam nodded.

"Colby? How much was this house? Not counting the furniture?" Sam asked. Colby widened his eyes as they drove to the apartments.

"I'd rather not say." He responded.

———-time skip (a few months later)——

Sam sat at the dining room table, trying to not get more stressed about the wedding.

But he couldn't help it. He didn't know how stressful it would be until now.

He had to figure out the invitations, the rest of the moving situation, the location, the reception, his outfit, everything. Not to mention, Colby has been talking about wanting a child.

They were stuck with whether they should adopt or get a surrogate.

Sam has never this stressed in his life. As soon as he was about to get up, he felt Colby's chin rest on top of his head and his arm wrap around his neck, resting on his chest.

"What's wrong?" Colby asked.

"Nothing." He responded.

"Samuel, I know there's something wrong." Colby said. He got off of him and sat in a chair next to him, placing a hand on Sam's forearm. "What is it?"

"Nothing... I'm just really stressed right now." Colby nodded, understanding it. "You know.. the wedding is in 4 months and we still have to figure everything out. Like the outfits, engagement photos, adopting or getting a surrogate-"

Almost on cue, the group ran through the door, startling Sam and Colby.

"We heard your plead for help and now we're here!" Jake said, placing his hands on hips as if he was a superhero.

"Actually we just got here and we heard you two talking through the window and we wanted to make it more dramatic." Aaron said.

"So you guys need help with the wedding?" Devyn asked.

"Yes.. But can you guys please just knock before running in here next time?" Colby asked. They nodded and sat at the table around them.

"What do you need help with?" Corey asked.

"The majors are the wedding invites, our outfits, and the child situation." Sam explained.

"Well, lucky for you we all already found some good photos." Elton said.

"You can say some of them got pretty spicy." Jake said with a smile. One by one, they handed photos. Jake handed them the first one.

"Jake..." Sam said, putting his face in his hands in more stress.

"I told you some would get pretty spicy." He said.

"But why this one? With fetus me and Samantha?" Colby asked.

"Hey! It's 'Samantha and fetus me'. Next time, watch your grammar." He said. Colby raised an eyebrow before ripping it. "Fuck." That was all Jake could say.

Katrina handed them the next one.

"Why... just why, Kat?" Colby asked. Sam took his face out of his hands to see, only to return it to that position.

"Because you two look adorable in this photo!" She said.

"No... just no. That was the day of my worst bad hair day yet." Colby said. Sam groaned, getting more stressed by the second.

Elton banded his choice to them next. Sam took his face out of his hands to see.

"Why the chicken?" Sam asked.

"It's a good photo." Elton fought.

"But why the chicken, Elton?" Sam fought back.

"You can always photoshop it out. It is 2020 and-" Elton started before Colby took Aaron's pictures.

"What's with all of the High School fetus pictures, guys?" Sam asked.

"Because... I don't know. It looks cool, Colby!" Aaron said. The couple rolled their eyes and reached for Corey's picture.

"Corey..." Sam said, returning to his face in his hands.

"It's a good photo, Samuel!" Corey yelled.

"Corey..." Sam said, shaking his head. Colby rolled his eyes again and reached for Devyn's photo.

The couple looked at it, not sayin anything. They then got up and hugged Devyn.

"Thank you for choosing a normal picture, Devyn." Sam said. She giggled and hugged back.

    "You're welcome." She responded. The three of them separated and sat back down.

     "Ok, next order of business: the outfits. We need help." Colby said.

     "So, how about Kat goes with Sam, and Devyn goes with Colby to the tux shop. Then Jake and I will go with one of you and Aaron and Corey will go with the other." Elton suggested. They all nodded and got up.

     "Oh, wait. Should we talk about the child stuff?" Sam asked.

     "What are you planning on doing?" Aaron asked.

     "We don't know if we want to hire a surrogate or just adopt." Sam said.

     "Well, if you guys want..." Kat started before stopping to think. "I can be the surrogate."

     "Wait, really?" Colby asked. Kat nodded.

     "If that's ok with you." She added. Sam looked at Colby and whispered.

     "Should we do that?" Sam asked.

     "Well... maybe. And if she doesn't like it, then we can always adopt a child after that." He said. Sam nodded and turned back.

     "Ok, that's fine. A-Are you sure that's fine? I mean, it's your body we're talking about." Sam said.

     "Yeah, that's fine!" She said with a smile. They got up and hugged her tightly.

     "Thank you so much, Kat." They said. She hugged back tighter.

———4 months later——

     Sam stood in front of his future husband, holding his hand tightly and smiling. Colby looked back and smiled.

     "I now pronounce you, Sam and Colby, husbands." They smiled more and went in for the kiss.

     It was almost like there was nothing in the world at the moment. Only the two of them, holding each other, kissing, newly married and happier than ever.

———

     Sam and Colby was dancing at the party, smiling and laughing with each other, when Sam felt a hand on his shoulder.

     He turned around and saw the one and only: Brennen Taylor. But he didn't have a sign of evil in his eyes. It was only filled with sorrow.

     But Colby was ready to fight. His smile disappeared and immediately went into protective mode as he saw him. He started to walk in front of Sam when he was stopped.

     "Colbs, it's fine. What do you want Brennen?" Sam said.

     "I-I..." he started.

     "No one invited you, Brennen!" Colby said angrily, making Brennen look down in sadness.   Corey came up to them and stopped him too.

     "Actually, I added him. We talked the other day and I wanted to add him because I want you guys to make up already." That's all he said before walking away.

     Sam looked up to Colby and nodded, who looked down with protective eyes but soon nodded. Sam grabbed Brennen and took him off the dance floor and to the corner.

     "What do you need?" Sam asked.

     "I just... I just wanted to..." He struggled to get the words out. He sighed and looked back up to him. "I-I'm sorry Sam. For.. well, everything. Everything I did to you was absolutely stupid and uncalled for. I guess I was just jealous. I was jealous of what you and Colby had: the best friendship in the world. I wanted that. I wanted more than just what your friendship was like. So I made a stupid mistake. But over time, my feelings for Colby grew and- the point is, Sam, I'm so, so, so sorry for what I did. I understand that your angry. I understand why Colby gets so protective over you when I'm around. I understand why you get so scared. I understand everything. So I came here to apologize. Actually, I don't even know if this even counts as a good apology after what I did. I completely ruined your life just because of something that I.." He trailed off, looking to the ground. He covered his mouth with his hand and started bawling.

     At first, Sam was shocked and wanted to just walk away, but he knew that was wrong. Instead, he pulled Brennen into a tight hug.

     Brennen got tense, but soon relaxed and hugged back.

     "It's ok, Brennen. All I wanted was an apology." Sam said.

     "B-But y-you deserve m-more than an a-apology. Y-You deserve the world and I-" Brennen started.

     "Hey, it's fine!" Sam said, breaking the hug and placing his hands on his shoulders. He looked up and shook his head.

"No it's not." Brennen said. He broke out of Sam's grasp. "I'm sorry. I promise I won't be a harm anymore." That's all he said before walking out of the party.

Sam watched in sadness, looking down and holding back tears. He knew what Brennen meant by that, and he also knew it was too late to help.

Later as the party began to calm down and people started to leave, the only people left were the newly weds and their friends.

     They went to them and jumped on them, attacking them with a huge, group hug.

     "What was that for?" Corey asked.

     "Just... thank you. For everything. Not just for the wedding, but for everything." Sam said.

     "I know we said it before, but we can never thank you enough." Colby continued as they separated. Everyone smiled.

     "You know how you can thank us?" Jake asked, fixing his bow tie.

     "How?" Sam asked with a questioning look.

     "When you two have kids, have them call me Uncie Jakie." He said.

     "Ok, fine. Just to make you shut up." Sam said with a laugh, bringing them all in for another hug.

     Sam and Colby then realized in that moment how lucky they were to have these amazing, supportive friends in their lives. They couldn't be more happy.
