Silver Lining: The Haunted

Ch.27- Opening up

A|N- well this is just a short chapter for now since I'm going to try and get back into writing. Might take a little time. It I am not just going to abandon something that I started. It's not over yet, if you know what I mean *smiles and evil smile* (hint hint)

~Armen~

It's been a few days of nothing. We have no idea how to move forward or what to do. Roadblock. We've hit a roadblock. Xander just went poof! and disappeared. Teleporting was my best guess.

"What does it matter anyways?"

"I don't know. Maybe because we need to fi-"

"GnīLLEy ßæ POts!" I broke out of my thoughts and turned my attention back to the group.

"What" they turned to a rather peeved looking Drake, who sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Well some ones grumpy" Grayson was promptly rewarded with a small growl and a pebble being wizzed at his head. "Ow!"

"You had that coming." Mia said while trying to stifle a laugh that came out any way. Grayson glared at the two of them and I too joined in on Mia's laughing.

"SdaWPid" Drake mumbled.

"You can say that again." Colin, who was seated next to Drake, kinda seemed to be in the same mood as Drake.

"What's wrong with you two?" I asked, giving them a questioning glance.

"Nothing. I'm fine. We're both fine. Just dandy. Peachy in fact!" Sarcasm presented itself  loud and clear in Colin's statement.

"No your not" Mia pointed out.

"Look I know Drake and  the two of you do act very similar. Even if I can't understand him right now because of the current situation doesn't mean that I can't still see that something is bothering you and him. He has this look in his eyes and you keep doing this thing with your hand that Drake would do with his when he got annoyed or nervous. Now at least from know where he got it from." Grayson crossed his arms meaning that this conversation was not going to be over anytime soon.

"Your don't know anything about me! I don't have to tell you anything if I don't want to. I get it that you and Drake are like really good friends and could happily call yourselves brothers or what not. The thing is I am not him! I don't feel comfortable opening up to you right now so don't push me." Colin retorted back. He stood up and walked away. Silence fell over our makeshift camp. The tension was high and no one seemed to know what to do.

"I'll go talk to him" I got it and followed after Colin.

~Colin~

I'm not sure what came over me. I snapped at Grayson without meaning too. Although it may have been partially true, I didn't mean for it to come out like that.

"Colin?" Armens voice asked from behind.

"Armen I'm fine I didn't mean to snap at you guys like that. I'm sorry." I stopped and faced him.

He sighed and just hugged me. "What's wrong. Talk to me."

"I don't know. There have been so many thoughts going around in circles in my mind. I'm just tired and annoyed." I admitted. "I just w-wanted to-o-o" I got lightheaded and lost my balance.

"Colin?" Armens alarmed voice brought me out if the small daze for a second.

"What. Sorry I just got a little dizzy. I'm fine." I shook it off and gave him a reassuring smile, or as reassuring as I could make.

'Colin'

'Colin it's not over yet.'

'I won't allow it to be over yet'

'After all I'm not that easy to get rid of'
