The Paranormal [Sam and Colby]

12

C

We arrived at some hotel in Providence, I hadn't heard Moor say a thing since we left the house. I don't know what happened to her when she was in that room but I didn't want to stress her anymore. She had a large gash on her hand from swinging her arms over her head and accidentally slicing it on the nails above.

We had gotten a two double bedroom, I didn't feel like sleeping at all, I didn't want to sleep. I felt this overwhelming feeling to keep my eyes peeled on Moora the entire night. Sam and Colby slept next to us, according to the alarm clock on our bedside table it was 4 am.

Sam's soft snores filled the room, I reached for my phone and sat up, deciding to send Corey a message to let him know we wouldn't be at the house when he got home later this morning. I placed my phone down and before I knew it tears were forming in my eyes. Everything just started rushing in. The fact Moor was hurt, both physically and mentally, the overwhelmingness of the house, that Corey wasn't there, my whole life felt like it was crushing down.

"Oi," I heard a whisper, confused I thought I was hearing shit again.

"Don't worry. It's Colby" A feeling of relief washed over me as I looked over at him and saw his figure dimly lit by the moonlight shining through the sheer curtains. He pointed towards the balcony, I got out of bed quietly, trying not to wake Moor up. I tiptoed to the door, Colby following behind me. We made it out and I leaned on the railing, looking at the not so bright stars.

"Can't sleep?" Colby asked

"Clearly"

"Neither" It suddenly occurred to me that he probably has heard me crying, I mentally cursed at myself, not sure how to get out of this situation.

"What's on your mind?" I look at him confused

"What do you mean what's on my mind?" I was trying to play dumb in hopes he'd just drop the conversation

"You know what I mean" Colby was someone who could sense people's feelings. I saw his head turn to look at me, I kept my eyes fixed on the stars, not saying anything, giving him the hint I didn't want to talk about it.

"Look at me." He caught me off guard. I slowly turned my head to look back at him, tears pricked my eyes, the last thing I needed was to cry in front of him. 

"Colby I'm fine. Stop worrying so much" I looked back out to the moonlit sky, out of everything I had experienced, nothing had come remotely close to this. 

"Is this how it always is with you guys?" I ask Colby.

"Not at all, I'm so sorry for dragging you guys into something like this. If I knew this was going to happen then I wouldn't have even considerd asking you two to join us" He looks at me softly. 

"It's fine. You didn't know what you were walking into and we know that place and know the potential consequences. I just didn't think that it'd happen to us." I say quietly, avoiding his gaze. 

"I should probably-" I point to the door.

"Yes, yes of course, you need some sleep after tonight." Colby said to me. He walked over to the door and opened it, putting his hand on the small of my back and guiding my inside. I shot him a thankful look and got back into bed, glancing once more at Colby before shutting my eyes.

I woke up, must to my dismay. But we were in a hotel, which was far more comforting than the house we were in mere hours ago. My hand ached from the fresh gash from the nails I scraped it across. When I turned over, Ciana was sleeping softly, Sam was sitting on his phone and Colby was in the kitchen. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, Sam looked to me and gave me a small, sympathetic smile. 

"Have you guys got any fresh first aid stuff?" I asked him, trying not to talk too loudly to wake up my sister beside me. 

"Yeah, just give me a sec I'll go get it". He got up and walked over to his suitcase. I stood up and sat at the table next to him and waited. The bandage on my hand was in desperate need of changing and the cut could probably use a proper clean. 

Once he gathered everything he sat next to me.

"Here" He held out his hand, I was confused for a moment, before he grabbed my hand and pulled it close to him. He began to softly unwrap the bandage. 

"So, what are you going to do about the video? I mean you haven't got enough footage"

"It's fine. Your safety is more important than any video and we wont post it if you are uncomfortable with it. You two were our guests and you're our priority. What happened last night was hectic and traumatic and it makes complete sense if you want us to just forget about it, because we can." He spoke carefully and finished unwrapping the bandage, he then poured some cleaning alcohol on a cotton pad and began to clean the wound. 

I winced, but watched softly at the gesture. "Thankyou" I say, still looking at my hand as he worked on it.

"It's the least I can do" He smiles at me. He finishes up with cleaning it and begins to wrap it up with a fresh bandage. 

I turn on my phone and I am instantly met with notifications after notifications. I groan and shut it off again. I put it down on the table and wait patiently for Sam to finish off on bandaging my hand. 

Meanwhile, Colby is still in the kitchen and preparing some sort of breakfast meal for everyone, even though it's almost 1pm, Ciana is still asleep and I think every single one of us is drained to the core.

"All done" Sam rubs his thumbs softly against my hand before putting it back on the table and giving me a smile, he then walks back over to the bed and goes on his phone.

I know whatever happened last night was something i'd never forget and I know its something they would never forget either. I know they want to know what happened in the room last night, but I'm not sure I'm ready to tell them, or anyone, what actually went on.
