*Monday Morning*

Colby's POV

I've been thinking the whole weekend and I have figured out I do have a crush on Alex. Its weird because I haven't ever had a serious crush on anyone before. I don't know what to do about it though because I'm not telling him. What if he reacted badly? What if I ruined our friendship? What if he didn't like me back and I made things awkward? With all of these questions and thoughts running through my head I didn't hear my dad come into the room. I snapped out of my thoughts when I felt something hit my head and then the door slam shut. I looked at the ground to see that my dad had thrown the pillow from the couch at me. Well at least it wasn't something worse.

I grab my bag that has my stuff for school and go to school.

Once I get there I go to my locker to get the books I need. Once I've got my books I turned around and tried to look for Alex. I couldn't find him anywhere. 'That's weird' I thought to myself.

"Hey Colby where's your boyfriend?" I hear Jace say from behind me

"He's not my boyfriend." I mumble

"Oh really?" he asks and then walks off. What is happening? First of all this is the first time Alex has missed a day. Second, Jace has never just walked away from me, but hey I'm not complaining.

I shake off the weird feeling I have and walk to class. Alex might be sick or is just late. There is nothing I have to worry about. Right?

*Time skip to end of school*

Alex didn't come to school at all today. I hope he's okay. 'Why am I worrying so much he's probably just sick.' I tell myself as I'm walking to my car so I can drive home.

After I get home I go into to see my dad passed out on the couch. I roll my eyes and walk to my room and sit on my bed. I get out my books and start to do my homework. After fifteen minutes I feel a buzz. I get my phone out to see a text from Alex.

Alex: Hey

Me: Hey. Why weren't you at school today?

Alex: I wasn't feeling that great today so I decided to stay home.

See he was just sick and I was panicking like he died. Don't just assume things Colby it gets you nowhere.

Me: Oh I hope you feel better.

I then put my phone and went back to doing my homework. After an hour of doing my homework I finally got finished. I put all my books away and then went to go see if we have anything in the kitchen. When I look in the fridge I see we don't . Of course we don't we never do. Just then I hear my dad groaning in the other room. As fast as I can I close the fridge and run to my room and close the door.

That was a close call. If my dad saw me he would probably hit me like he always does when he's drunk. I sit on my bed and sigh in relief. I grab my phone and start playing games on it to help distract me from the pain in my stomach.

After a couple hours of playing games I get bored and go to text Alex to see if he'll answer.

Me: Hey

delivered

While I wait for him to answer I open my door a little so I could see if my dad was awake or not. When I see him standing outside his door I quickly close the door and go back to my bed. I check my phone to see Alex has not answered me yet.

"YOU THINK YOU CAN HIDE FROM ME!" I hear my dad yell before he slams my door open. I sit up and look at him in fear.
