Truly it wasn't something that should have affected anyone. But with everyone worried and tense the way they were nobody was exactly thinking straight. They had lost Colby in the forest for quite a while actually. And although he was back now it did nothing to help calm their worries. They had been terrified as they called Colby's name hoping that the god awful scream they had heard wasn't Colby's.

Really they tried anything to comfort them'selves that it wasn't his. Like the scream was too high to be Colby's and that Colby was a stubborn and tough man. Colby could take care of himself, he always had. Still, despite it all Sam's heartbreaking screams of his best friend's name still resounded throughout the area, Jake's uneven breathing and brash comments still were laced with panic, and Corey was in disbelief that they had failed by leaving Colby alone and in danger. While Jake continued to stress eat gummy bears they all thought of the possible outcomes of this situation. They were all unsure of what to do as they all attempted to come up with what to do, they all loved Colby and couldn't bear to lose him. Moments later they heard something from the bushes, freezing for a moment as they stared they finally saw the light from what appeared to be a flashlight illuminating the surrounding scenery. Realization dawned on them all as they rushed towards the light ignoring the fog.

'' Colby!'' They called out as the man staggered over, the flashlight dimming slightly as his shoulders slumped.

In desperation, they all ran to one another. Although the panic in Sam's voice didn't just suddenly cease to exist nor did Jake's seriousness and Corey's overbearingness. They had all just lost Colby moments before and were still marveling over that fact.

Videos like this were always unpredictable. They all knew that it's what kept the videos interesting, unlike the videos that were staged from other YouTubers. It was great but they also knew that it was dangerous they were prone to injuries, to the anxiety bubbling up in their chests throughout every video. They were even prone to death from how extreme there explore and paranormal videos were. They all knew of the possibilities and agreed to film these videos no matter the risks.

There had been plenty of occasions were they had dealt with injuries. Injuries were nothing new, they could deal with injuries but they couldn't deal with this. They couldn't deal with the fear that they had truly lost Colby. The fear of being left in the dark and not knowing what was to come.

That was something Colby understood and despite being terrified himself at having been alone following the unknown he still did his best to relieve everyone of the stress. Tension rose as everyone tried to calm there racing mind.

Colby did so by taking full responsibility for his actions, saying that he was sorry for worrying anyone and that it had just been a reaction. That he hadn't meant to go alone and that it had never crossed his mind that he was alone while running headfirst into danger.

A reply never really meet his apology and he found his heart sinking deep into the pit of his chest. It continued like that the rest of the video as he was barely acknowledged and when he was it was only someone giving him a pure once over for injuries or using him for comic relief in the video. He could practically feel his heart thump against his chest painfully as his brows furrowed in confusion. He knew he had messed up and sure he wasn't expecting anyone to care that much but he also wasnt expecting to return only to receive glares and silence. The only reason why anyone even muttered anything to him was so they wouldn't raise the suspicion of the viewers.

Sighing he merely messed with his rings as he adjusted them nervously before following behind everyone lead being sure to trail behind a few steps or so.

It went on like that for hours as they filmed. Until eventually, the others decided to go home he wasnt really involved in the decision. He was more so in the background of it all. His throat seemed to tighten at how misplaced he felt. Slowly he headed towards the car that they had all arrived in and burrowed himself into the backseat.
