Jake's Younger Sister

• late nights •

We ate pizza for the rest of our night and talked about the footage we got tonight. Colby was able to film himself getting out and fuck did it look scary in there when you were by yourself with barely any light.

Although we didn't expect this to happen tonight, Sam said that it was still good footage and started editing the video.

After watching tv and scrolling on our phones, we all headed upstairs. When Colby and I got into bed it was almost 4 am. Colby and I didn't talk to each other once we got into bed. He slept facing the wall and I was facing the other way. Colby had no trouble falling asleep; however I on the other hand couldn't get my eyes to close.

My mind was racing with thoughts, the most occurring one was why Colby kissed me but I tried to shut out that one. He was probably just trying to shut me up, right? So much happened tonight that I eventually tried myself out and fell asleep.

I jolted awake; gasping for air, I just had a nightmare. I usually get harsh nightmares every night but since being here I haven't had one until now. I had a nightmare about tonight and it felt so real and true. Without realising it; I was crying and also quite loudly. I've never had a nightmare feel so real like the one I just had. I covered my mouth to stop making noise but it was too late.

Colby beside me stirred awake but was still half-asleep, "Shh, it's okay" He snaked his arm around my waist and pulled me closer. I felt my heart almost jumping out of my body. "You're okay" "You're safe" He mumbled, I melted absolutely melted.

I woke up the next day, hoping Colby didn't remember anything.

I grabbed my phone and check the time. It was 5:45 am, it was early but i wanted to see the sun come up. The sun in LA comes up at 6:00. I desperately tried to set myself free from Colby but all I felt was his arms tensing and becoming heavier around my waist.

I struggled but successfully got out of his arms. I knew the best view I get would be on the roof.  I looked and pulled the hatch on the ceiling; barely able to pull it. The Metal stairs came down from the roof and almost made a huge racket but thankfully I caught them. I gave them a minute then climbed up. It was beautiful, the sun was just coming up.

It was the most calm and delicate sunrise I'd ever seen, the sky turned a light baby blue. I took a cigarette out of my back pocket and set it alight. Sliding the cigarette between my lips; inhaling the smoke. I hated the vile smell of smoke that came out of my mouth but craved it.  I rocked my head back and exhaled, a cloud of smoke faded away.

I watched the smoke fade away in the sky until I was interrupted by someone's hand on my shoulder.

"If I can't smoke, you can't smoke darling." Colby uttered, I turned around and was met with Colby towering over me, and then it hit me. I asked Colby to quit smoking,. Next thing I knew my cigarette was gone out of my hand and stamped on by Colby's shoe. The rage inside me filled up and up.

"Colby! What the fuck!?" I shout, "I already said, If I can't smoke, you can't smoke darling," Colby remarked. I huff. "Where's your cigarette packet?" Colby seethed, I couldn't tell if he was joking or not.

"I'm my pocket," I uttered. Colby puts out his hand, I feel like I'm getting searched by the police for fuck sake. "Piss off! I'm giving you my packet!" I seethed, Colby stared me down competitively, he wasn't going to give up, was he? I handed over my packet "Good girl" Colby uttered as he took my pack and threw them over the edge.

"That's gonna hit someone on the head and they're gonna be pissed," I announced with a smirk, as I looked over the edge to see where they landed. Colby laughed quietly and sat down next to me on the ledge. Colby smirked "Yeah?" He raised his eyebrow. "It would be pretty funny if that happened." Colby chuckled.

I laughed, "True, that would be hilarious-" I grinned looking out to the view. Colby went completely silent, enjoying the view.

He grabbed my hand and my body went stiff, "I heard you crying last night, are you..okay?" he whispered. I slipped my hand from his grasp, not falling into his trap I nod "Yeah, I'm fine; don't worry." I assured him. I coughed awkwardly.

Colby and I sat on the ledge just making simple talk, trying to keep myself on track but some laughs slipped out. He has that charm that makes you feel so comfortable with him and it works. He probably uses it to his advantage.

I needed to get my head screwed on right and tight because it wasn't screwed on correctly. I need to get him out of my head.
