The Adventure of My Dreams {Colby Brock}

Fifty Two

After we sat down and ate our breakfast Colby helped me put the remainder of the food away and load the dishwasher.

It really just made home feel better having him here with me.

Once we were done I went upstairs to my room to film the video. Colby went out to the rental car that he had where the guitar was. I turned my ring light on and set up my Canon camera on its tripod with the screen flipped so I could see myself. There was another seat beside me for him.

"Alright, you ready to do this?" He asked as he sat down beside me. "Yeah." I said with a smile.

I reached out and pressed record.

"Hey guys, it's Sophia here and today I've got a very special guest. Say hello to the one and only Colby Brock!" I glanced over at him as he waved to the camera. "What's up guys?!"

"Today Colby decided to join me for a cover I'm doing, just like me you're learning that Colby here knows how to play guitar. Talk about some secrets, huh?" I said with a giggle.

"Well over the last month I decided to try and learn something new, and I took some lessons. I brought my guitar with me when I visited my parents in Kansas, and my dad taught me a little bit more even. Seemed like a perfect chance to show you guys what I've been working on." He said with a grin.

"Let's get it going then! Today I am going to be doing a cover of Kat's song called Gone." I sat there quietly as I waited for Colby to start strumming the tune of the song until it was my cue to join in.

"I can't erase the time or the place
You said forever and now all the things that I do
Remind me of you
I can't accept that you'd just forget
All of the times that you promised you'd always be mine
Till the end of time
And another day is gone
Tell me how to carry on
People ask me what I need
But all I want is you and me
Don't you know how good it feels
When you're with me in my dreams
And I don't wanna be awake
Ever since you went away
Shadows of love still live in my walls
I want you too much to be just friends
Cause you can't replace
The things that you take
I lost you once, the damage is done
You keep on haunting me
I don't know where I belong
You did me wrong
And another day is gone
Tell me how to carry on
People ask me what I need
But all I want is you and me
Don't you know how good it feels
When you're with me in my dreams
And I don't wanna be awake
Ever since you went away. Why did you go? Left me alone
What should I do with your texts on my phone?
Pictures of us I used to trust
And now it's lost
And another day is gone
Tell me how to carry on
People ask me what I need
But all I want is you and me
Don't you know how good it feels
When you're with me in my dreams
And I don't wanna be awake
Ever since you went away
And another day is gone."

I did my very best to channel every emotion in me. From all of the pain I have felt lately I poured each and every feeling I've had into this song. I wanted it to seem powerful, because my heart was truly used to be so very broken by people, and right now has just been the peak of that.

Looking down at my lap as I sang the last line, I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear as I looked back up at the camera. "Well, that's all for today. I hope you guys enjoyed it, and Kat — you as well! Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe. Bye!"

Turning the camera off I looked over to Colby who set his guitar down. "Wow.." he said with a chuckle. "I wasn't kidding when I said you were full of surprises, because I wasn't expecting all of that to come out of you."

"I hope that's a good thing?" I let out a small laugh and turned my camera off and popped the SD card out. I went over to my computer and popped the card in and sat down in my gaming chair.

"Yes, it's good." He walked over to where I was and rested his hand on my shoulder. "Are you sure you're good though?"

I nodded my head, keeping my eyes on my screen as I started the process of getting the video uploaded onto YouTube and each little thing you had to edit for their specifics.

"I'm fine, trust me on that. It was just a lot easier than I expected to channel all of the hurt I have from my old family. Being able to pour my emotions into that was something really helpful." He nodded his head.

Colby stepped away for a second and brought a chair over to sit beside me. As I let the video process and upload I sent the clips that me and Angelina recorded to Kevin, since he had my other SD card that had everything on it.

"I'm sure Kevin will watch over everything and make a sick video. What made you guys want to make this little vlog?" He asked.

"I planned on it from the start. I thought it would be something to help my channel grow or draw people in. But after you guys dropped the video and all of the things people were saying, I only felt that it was right that we shared our side of things."

Pulling my phone out of my pocket I checked my email on there. The realtor said she would have the estimate ready for me on Wednesday. At the same time I really wanted to take into consideration that Colby said I should come to LA and hang out with him.

"Hi Debbie,

This is fairly last minute but I just found out that I have to fly out to LA Thursday morning for a work opportunity. If anyone is interested in seeing the house I will email you details on where I keep a key hidden. Thanks so much.

— Sophia Emerson"

I looked over at Colby and smiled as I set my phone down. "What?" He only asked once but as the somewhat staring contest started, I obviously lost because of how distracted I got from his growing smile.

"We can leave for LA Thursday morning."
