The Adventure of My Dreams {Colby Brock}

Thirty Five {Colby's POV}

After a few hours of shopping we pulled up to the house and got out of the car. We got hamburgers and hot dogs to grill, a variety bag of candy and chips, white claws, and a few new movies so the girls could pick what they would want to watch.

It was around 3:30 when we entered the house and to my surprise it was still quiet. I walked into the kitchen to find Kat, Tara, and Angelina talking.

"Hey, nice to see some people are awake. Are the guys still asleep?" I asked as I unpacked the bags and set everything out on the counter. "Jake and Corey are long gone." Tara replied.

"Did Soph ever wake up?" I asked as I dipped my head into the fridge while I put the food and drinks away. "She did, but she's mad at me and went back upstairs."

I furrowed my brows as I stood back up. We were barely gone but the one time we leave them alone they end up fighting?

"Why is she mad at you?" I slipped my hands into the front pocket of my hoodie and leaned back against the counter as I looked over at Angelina. She had a look of guilt plastered all over her face.

"The girls were asking if we would stay in touch and I made a joke telling them good luck getting through to Soph cause she's going to be talking to you so much. Then I had her talk about her ex and you and she went off on me."

"I thought as her best friend that you knew better than that? You know how bad that situation hurt her, so why keep poking at it? I had her in a good place this morning but I guess that's gone now."

I couldn't stop myself from groaning out of frustration as I rubbed my hands over my face. I left the kitchen and jogged up the stairs to my room, but when I opened the door she was nowhere to be found.

"Soph?" I looked in every area possible. The bathroom, the closet, in the bed, under the bed. It wasn't until I sat down on the couch that I saw a folded note that said "Colby" on the front.

"Colby,

Today did not have the ending that I had hoped for, but I figure it's better to go when we ended on a good note. I'm sorry that I didn't stick around, but I don't think Ang realizes how badly she made me feel hurt today.

I want you to know that I did fully move on from my ex. He's worthless in my eyes. I am just so tired of her always forcing me to talk about one of the lowest moments of my life that I suffered and dealt with in silence. I don't believe that that's fair to me, especially when moving on in life. You already know how much I like you.

I left my SD card next to your computer so you could have what I got during the investigation for the video. This has indeed been the craziest week of my life, but I wouldn't change it for the world. From meeting Zak at his museum and getting to hang out with him and explore things how I wanted. To meeting you and the guys. Running away from a crazed home owner that just wants to make money off restless souls. Every little intimate moment we shared. Performing a seance and helping a restless spirit cross over. If someone told me all of this was to come on my flight here, I never would've believed them. I never thought in a million years I would meet the people that I have been watching for so long, let alone my celebrity crush having feelings for me as well.

By the time that you see this I will already be on my way to Vegas to fly back home. I'm sorry for leaving this way, but I couldn't enjoy my last day here when I'm upset with my best friend. I think what we need is some space, so I supplied that. Maybe you could help her get a flight home from LA.

I'll call you as soon as I get home.

Xoxo,
Sophia"

"You've got to be fucking kidding me!" I crumpled the paper and let out a rather loud groan of frustration. I just couldn't believe she was so hurt that she left. Let alone for all of the girls to be downstairs nobody heard her leave? Nobody saw her with her suitcase?

Just as I stood up from the couch Sam opened the door. "Hey —".

"Don't bother." I said, shaking my head.

"What's wrong, Colby?" He asked, a look of confusion covering his features.

I grabbed the crumbled paper and handed it over to him. It took a second for him to open it up, but once he read it his eyes about popped out of his head.

"Brother, please tell me this is a joke?" He asked, shaking his head. "I don't want to believe that she's actually gone!"

"I checked everywhere Sam. She's nowhere to be found and every last bit of her stuff is gone. She really left.." I sighed and plopped down on my bed face first.

While we were out I had all of these plans made in my head for the two of us today, wanting to make this day count. Just like that, I was all alone. The only person I wanted was gone before I knew it.

"Can you please just help Angelina get a flight home? I don't even want to deal with that right now." I rolled over onto my back and I couldn't help the complete sadness that I felt right now. I wasn't ready for this morning to be the last moment we had together until who knows when.
