Scared Alive

Leaving

Colby's POV

I flop on my bed while closing my eyes. I hate it when Ryan keeps secrets from me. I enter her room where she is laying there on her phone.

"Watcha doing?" I ask.

She jumps and her phone drops from her hands. Onto her face.

I start laughing. She takes it off and glares at me.

"What do you want?" She groans.

"What was that phone call last night?" I ask. She stares at me. Like I had three heads.

"We're going to an adoption center. It's weird, we have to be ready by tomorrow. At 10:45. Someone is coming to pick us up. I didn't want to tell you," She explained. She had a scared glint in her eyes.

"Why?"

"I thought you'd freak out," She replied. I nodded.

"Night," I said. She nods and slips into sleep.

I enter my room and think about what the Orphanage will be like.

Dream:

I see a young girl running in front of me. She turns around to see she is a stunning blonde with brown eyes. She smiles at me with white teeth. She stops.

She wraps her arms around my neck and I wrap my arms around her waist. She slowly leans in and captures my lips. I'm kissing a girl I just saw and I don't even know who she is.

"I love you," she says.

"I love you too," I said.

She smiles and hugs me. The last thing that I remember is a name.

Kristen.

End of dream.

I open my eyes and replay the last part.

Kristen.

Who the heck is Kristen? I must know her because I wouldn't have dreamt about her.

My alarm goes off. I slam my hand on it and check the time. It's 10 am.

I rise slowly and head to the bathroom. I turn on the shower and strip from my clothes.

-

I wrap a towel around my waist and go to my dresser. I pull on a black shirt with headphones. It makes it look like I'm wearing the headphones. Plus a neon green stripe.

I pull on jeans and high-top Nike shoes. I look at myself in my mirror and nod.

I grab a few suitcases. And I start packing.

Ryan's POV

I hear Colby's alarm go off so I get up too. I head to my shower and remove my clothes. I hop in the shower and get my brown hair wet.

-

I snatch a towel from my closet and wrap it around me. I walk over to my closet and search for my clothes.

I grab a white long sleeve that says "Summer, what would I do without you." I practically dance into my skinny jeans. I pull on my blue green Vans and a light gray beanie.

I brush my teeth and spit. I squirt mouth wash into my mouth and swish. I start thinking about what the Orphanage will look like; I bring out my floss and start... Flossing.

I start to grab suitcases when the doorbell rings. I peep out the peephole and I see Hanson.

I open the door and he smiles. "Hey Ryan," he says shyly. "Um, are you lost?" I ask, a little rudely.

He pushes me back to wall and leans in close to my face.

"Now, that's no way to greet a guest," he smirks.

I push him off and demand him out. He apologizes and leaves.

"HEY YOU READY?" I hear Colby yell.

"YEAH!" I yell back.

Well, hear goes nothing.

Colby's POV

We both hopped into the car and the lady was sitting there. Waiting for us.

"Hi, I'm Marigold. It's great to meet you," Marigold expresses. "I'm Colby and this is-" "As in the cheese?" I'm silent after that. "Oh my god, I am so sorry." She apologizes. "Anyway, this is Ryan, my little sis by two years. I'm 16 and she is 14." I finish. She nods and starts the car. I can tell she feels bad about cheese thing. She is wiping her eyes and sniffling.

After her little crying panic, she starts yapping. I stop listening and look over at Ryan. She has her headphones on and Marigold starts talking in the phone. I start listening to Uptown Funk.

-

I guess I must've fallen asleep cause it's in the middle of Say Something.

Ryan shook my leg and I take my earbuds out. "We're here," She said.

I look out my window and see a mansion-like thingy. I am honestly awed. "Holy crap," I awe.
