Broken: Chapter Twenty One
Colton's Pov:
“Is – is Drew here?” he asked.
I nodded and let him walk by me. I gestured towards the door he should use, and he shouldered by me.
“Drew,” he said, smiling.
“Bryan!” she cried.
I walked into the room with my hands in my pockets and watched Bryan kiss Drew. She let go after a moment, smiled at him, and then remembered me.
“Oh, Bryan, this is Colton!” she said, pointing at me. “He’s my best friend!” She smiled.
Bryan didn’t.
“Hi, Colton,” said Bryan, holding out his hand to me. “I’m Bryan. Bryan Manning.”
I looked at his hand, raising an eyebrow.
“You’re, uh ... You’re supposed to shake it,” he said.
“Oh, my bad,” I said, and reluctantly shook Bryan’s hand. “I, uh, gotta go, Drew,” I said.
“Bye, Colton,” she said.
I left before they started a “Whose cuter?” fight. Wouldn’t wanna interrupt that…

“Hey, Rory,” I said when she answered her door.
“Colton!” she cried, throwing her arms around my neck. “I missed you so much!”
“We saw each other like a day ago,” I chuckled.
“A day longer than I’d like to have away from you,” she giggled.
“That’s sweet,” I said, smiling.
She looked at me for a long time, before saying, “Wanna come inside?”
“Sure!” I said.
Damn, her place was nice! It was huge, and it had really nice furniture. I swear, this would be an awesomeplace to play hide-and-seek. When I told her that, she giggled. She had a cute laugh. I liked it. I told her that, too.

“I wanna meet your friends, Colton.”
I turned towards Rory. We were sitting on the couch, watching TV, and she had just broken a long silence. “My … friends?”
“Just the close ones,” she said, smiling, “I know you probably have a couple hundred.”
I shook my head.
“Why can’t I meet them?”
“You can meet them,” I said quietly.
“I get to meet your friends!” she squealed.
“Friend,” I said quietly.
There was a long silence, before she quietly said, “Oh.”
