Free fall

❻

It had been a couple of months since we had moved, Colby and I had talked a lot and hung out in my room watching Tv, but he's usually in the States going to haunted places with Sam so lately it's been just me and Corey hanging out, however, a label had gotten ahold of my music and wanted to meet with me. Though I'd have to fly to New York, the company paid for my travel fairs and my hotel. I looked at Corey as I finished packing "Sucks I don't get to say goodbye to Colby" I said focused on folding my clothes to fit in my suitcase "You know Y/n, you two seem to have a thing for one another" he said I looked up at him and rolled my eyes "Sam and I have talked about it too, we both see it" he said "yeah whatever you say" I said "are you scared he'll be like Elton?" Corey asked his eyes pierced mine

"No absolutely not" I said back "Colby's nothing like Elton, he's kind, when I say no to something he understands and doesn't push me about it, he cares you know?" I said ranting about him and Corey smiled "you just proved my point" he said. "Shut up do not say shit or I'll kill you when I get back" I said and after another hour the door opened, "Hey guys we're back!" Sam yelled as I lugged my luggage down the stairs "where you going?" Sam asked Colby stood next to him and I smiled giving him a hug, "I have to go to New York, a record label heard my music and wanna talk to me about signing me" I said and Colby's face got so excited "that's great!" He said I smiled at his reaction, he was cute when he was excited about something, "Colby you should go as back up" Sam said "more motivation" he continued before Colby looked at me almost asking if it was alright "the hotel room is only one bed" I said almost warningly

Colby shrugged "I'll sleep on the floor if your more comfortable that way" he said I smiled at how kind he was I faked a sighed "alright you can come" I said he looked at his already packed suitcase "well I'm packed what about you?" He asked I laughed I looked at the ticket I went online and found and payed for one more ticket and sent the information to Colby's phone, he grabbed his suitcase and went outside putting it in the bed of the truck "Corey's driving us so my truck isn't going to get fined or anything" I said and he nodded I yelled for Corey and he grabbed my keys from the bowl and hopped in the front Colby got in the back and I sat in the passenger seat, we all got buckled and headed to the airport.

After a miserable 3 hours of waiting we boarded, Colby took the window seat again "you know I think I can handle a window seat" I said and he looked at me "I'd rather sit here just to be safe" he said I smiled at his thoughtful gesture and sat down, after a few ours of our 9 hour flight he wanted me to look out of the window I stood up slightly and instantly moved back "that's high" I said "this is why I have the window seat" he said back I moved as far as I can from the window but Colby pulls me back and puts his arm around my shoulder I lean into his embrace, after a second he takes out his earbuds from his pocket and hands me one, I put it in and he started playing a movie,

After the long plane ride we get to the rental car in the parking lot "I'll drive" Colby says i looked at him and nodded I was tired and wouldn't argue, I tossed him the keys and put our stuff in the back seat then got into the passenger seat, I grabbed my phone out of my back pocket and turn on the directions to the hotel, the drive there was annoying and pretty much woke me up entirely, I looked at the car who stopped in front of us pretty much parked "Dude move!" I yelled Colby looked at me shocked "calm down New York traffic is some of the worst traffic in the US" he said calmly "says the one who doesn't have road rage" I said rolling my eyes. After another hour we made it to the hotel and got the keys for our room

"5th floor huh?" I asked the man behind the counter and he nodded "thank you have a wonderful day" I said he smiled "you too ma'am" he said back as we walked to the elevator "watch this place be haunted" Colby joked "I hope it is" I said back he looked at me confused "why?" He asked I shrugged "I love ghosts" I said back as we exited the elevator, we walked around for a second in silence and I unlocked the room door I opened it and smiled the place was nice green walls with the bed having black bedding I layer down for a second "you don't have to sleep on the floor" I said to Colby who was putting his suitcase in the corner "why's that" he asked as he came and sat on the edge of the bed "I'd feel bad if you did" I said and he smiled "aw do you care about me?" He asked in a almost mocking tone but I felt my face heat up a bit "nope" I said "why don't we go get some food?" He asked I nodded
