The Adventure of My Dreams {Colby Brock}

Twenty Nine

Angelina had just taken the picture of the scratches on me and handed me the phone, before I could even look and react we heard the doorknob to the basement jiggling.

"Colby? Sam? Jake? Corey? Is that y'all?" But no one responded. How could they not hear us when we were just on opposite sides of the door? It was so frustrating to not know if it was them trying to get to us, or if someone was trying to fuck with us. I handed Angelina back her phone and we ran from the bench to the top of the stairs.

As we reached the top of the stairs there started to be loud banging on the other side.

"Colby! Get us out of here!" I yelled out and started banging on the door. "Why are we locked in here?!" Angelina asked through the door.

"We're gonna get you out, I promise!" Colby yelled out.

"Didn't you make a promise to us that we wouldn't get hurt? Doesn't getting scratched and locked in a basement go against us not getting hurt?!" Angelina questioned.

"Dude, our spirit box said something about being stuck.." Sam said.

"So did ours!" Angelina shouted through the door.

"Guys you have to get us out! I don't want to stay down here. I got scratched!"

"Colby you promised you wouldn't let anything happen to us, let alone your girlfriend." Angelina shouted. "Get us the fuck out of this basement right now!"

"I'm gonna need everyone to shut up and stand back!" Corey shouted, which made everyone hush. We knew we had to be quiet here just to be safe to not get caught for any reason. I already know Sam and Colby's eyes would be popping from their heads when they heard him yell.

"Corey, what the hell?! We haven't even been that loud!" Sam said in annoyance to Corey.

"Nobody is doing anything to get them out! Everyone is just shouting at each other through the door. So I'm taking charge." He crossed his arms over his chest and looked over at Jake. "Record this brother."

"Hell yeah!" Jake said excited. I stood there just picturing how he would turn on the camera and start recording, while making faces between Corey like he always would.

We heard footsteps coming closer to our side of the door. "Soph, Ang, I'm going to need you guys to go down to the bottom of the stairs and step aside so I can safely kick the door down. Can you trying to relax and do that for me?"

"Y-Yeah we can do that." I nodded my head and turned to look at Angelina and nodded my head to her. We both walked down the steps back into the basement, then sitting down on the bench from earlier.

"We're ready Corey!" Angelina yelled out to give him the signal.

"Corey are you sure about this?" Sam asked.

"Yes, brother. To be fair I am the one that weighs the most here and I could do the most damage."

"Just be careful man. I already got cut up pretty bad and we don't need to lose you going down the stairs."

"Here goes nothing. Stay away girls!"

We kept ourselves on the bench and listened as loud footsteps ran towards the door and we heard a loud thump.

THUMP. THUMP. THUMP.

"Come on Corey, you got this!" Angelina yelled up as words of encouragement. But in reality, we just wanted to get out of this basement so fucking bad.

Once again we heard his footsteps run close and the loud thump of his body hitting the door. But this time is broke, and it broke good. Pieces of the door hit at the bottom of the steps and Corey stumbled down the first few stairs but caught his grip on the railing to stop himself from falling down any farther.

"Corey!" Me and Angelina yelled as we ran over to him.

"Are you guys okay?" He asked as he sat on a step. "Yes we're fine. The real question is are you okay? That seemed like a pretty big stumble."

"I'm okay. I've had way worse happen before. This was just a little easier because the door is so old and worn out. Enough about that though, let's go upstairs."

I nodded my head as he got up from the step and we followed him up the stairs back into the living room.

"Soph! Ang!" Sam and Colby shouted.

"Hell yeah brother you got them!" Jake yelled.

The boys ran over to us and engulfed us in a giant hug.

"Oh my god, I'm so freaking happy that you guys are okay!" Sam exclaimed. "I'll be even more fine if you never send us into a basement like that ever again." Angelina said as we pulled back from the hug.

"Are you okay?" Colby asked as his arms wrapped around me to pull me into a hug. "Well I would be better if I didn't get scratched." I said as I pulled back from his embrace. "I mean, watching it on tv I always thought it would be cool to get scratched by a ghost, but tonight I learned that that's not how I really felt. I have never felt so vulnerable before.

"I think we should take a break. Why don't we all go into the bedroom and have our dinners that we brought?" Sam said.

"If food is involved, I'm involved." Angelina said.

"Hell yeah bother!" Corey said as he gave Angelina a high five.

We all made our way into the bedroom and closed the door behind us. I slipped into my sleeping bag and grabbed my backpack to pull out a chicken sandwich and white cheddar cheetos with a water.

"I don't think my appetite could be as high as it is right now. The amount of adrenaline I got from being stuck down there is just coursing through my veins." I said before taking a bite from my sandwich.

"I'm just happy that you guys are okay. That situation could have been a lot worse, so that's the last time that we send you guys into a basement." Colby said.

"Amen to that!" Angelina said and let out a laugh.
