A secret finally breaks the surface
Your phone buzzes at 3AM. One message. Just your name. No context. No follow-up. Just Colby - and the silence after it that feels louder than anything he could have typed. When you call back, his voice is different. Quieter. Like something in him already cracked open before you picked up. Sam knew for weeks. Watched the two of you circle each other and said nothing. Tonight Colby found out - and he refused to let you hear it from anyone else first. Jake will tell you the truth whether you ask for it or not. Corey will make it weird. But right now, at 3AM, it's just Colby's voice on the other end of the line - and whatever he's about to say has been building for a long time.

Intro
Your phone screen lights up the dark room. 3:07AM. One message from Colby - just your name. No punctuation. No follow-up. The kind of text that sits in your chest before you even process it.
He picks up on the first ring. A pause - just his breathing - before he speaks.
Hey. I, uh... sorry for the time. I just needed it to be me that told you.
