Chance (Colby Brock)

~1~

*Anna's POV*

I stand outside my seemingly dead, piece of shit car, trying to get a phone call to a tow company.

"Finally! Hi, my name is Anna Blackburn, my car just-" I say into the phone.

"Please hold while I forward you to the next available employee."

"No wait my phone is-" right as the words leave my mouth, my phone goes dead, "is about to die. Great."

I get up and begin to look around. I was in an unfamiliar neighborhood it seemed. The houses looked as though they belonged in a movie. They were white stones and marbles. Green landscaping only of the highest status. Expensive cars riddling their drive ways.

Clouds begin to cover the sky. Just a little rain, not a big deal. I think to myself. I liked the light rain that covered L.A from time to time. It was calming and peaceful. I waited for the light rains to lift my mood and clarify my mind, when suddenly, the sky opened apon me drenched me in water. It wasn't the usual light rains, but much heavier. The type of rain where I would usual be put in the worse mood. Rain that drove me out of Washington.

"Fuck you too, Zeus!" I yell into the sky. It felt as though buckets of water were being thrown down on me. I run to the nearest house and tried to find a buzzer or something. I finally find a buzzer and rang it. No response from the buzzer, so I tried the gate. It opened smoothly and I ran to the door. There was a car in the driveway, so someone must be home. My eyes were blurred with rain, as I begin to ring the door bell repeatedly. Finally I heard the door open.

————————————————————————

*Colby's POV*

I listened the sound of the rain tapping the windows in my room. The house was silent, while me and Sam edited our new video. As the rain heavies, we begin the hear our door bell ring repeatedly. Me and Sam look at each other.

"I'll go get it." I tell Sam, leaving him to continue editing. I run down stairs as the door bell continues to ring.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm coming." I said. My first thought was that it was one of the guys, that they had left their keys and were stuck outside. I unlock and open the door. I rip open the door, expecting to see Corey or Aaron, but there stands a girl. Her long light brown hair soaked and covering her face. Her clothes looked as though they had been dumped in a pool and then put on. She was shaking, her eyes looked as though she was about to cry or already had. They were the most beautiful color, not blue, but not green, almost as thought they were both.

"Hi, my car broke down and my phone died and -" She began to say though chattering teach.

"Come in, please." I say, moving aside to let her in. She slowly walked in and started to look around. I closed the door behind her.

-------------------------------------------------------

*Anna's POV*

I slowly stepped inside the mansion. My eyes cleared and I could finally see clearly again. There wasn't as much furniture as I expected for a house this size. This place seems familiar. I think to myself. I looked around in awe of the house.

I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder. I turned and saw someone, someone I knew very well. I bit my tongue not to yell it out.

Colby Brock! That's Colby Brock! Holy shit! Inside my head I was screaming. He was my idle. He was why I started exploring and why I moved to L.A.

"Come, sit down, I'll get you something to dry off with." Colby said, leading me to the living room. I sat down on the couch, still shivering. Colby comes back with a cup in one hand and a blanket in the other.

"I hope you don't mind, but I made you some hot chocolate to help warm you up, and all our towels are dirty so I brought you a blanket." He hands the drink to me and gently lays the blanket on top of me as I curl up into my usual fetile position.

"Thank you." I say to him with a smile. His eyes were brighter in person, "I'm Anna by the way." I tell him

"Colby." He says while putting his hand out. I gladly shake it. The metal from his rings were slightly cool, but his hand itself was warm.

After a few minutes of sipping my hot chocolate in silence next to Colby, I see another familiar face walk down. I almost spat my drink out the moment I saw him.

Holy shit that's Sam! That's Sam Golbach! Could this day get any better?

I then remember why I was there in the first place. Why I was ever here and why I was so mad at the world. My face must have gone pale because suddenly Sam spoke.

"Woah, is she okay, she looks sick." Sam says taking a step forward.

"It's nothing, I'm fine." I say curling up into a smaller ball. It was self defense, curling up. It made me feel safe, even when I'm not. It was the only way to protect myself from him. To Colby it must have looked as though I was cold.

"I'll go get another blanket." Colby says, springing up from the couch seat beside me and running upstairs.

"I'm Sam." Sam says.

"Anna." I respond. Colby comes back with another blanket and lays it on top of me. I give a slight smile in thanks.

-------------------------------------------------------

*Colby's POV*

She looked cold and fragile. Her small frame not protecting her from the cold. What was most strange about her was that she wore jeans and long sleeve shirt in the almost hundred degree weather that L.A. had. Usually I would say that it was for the rain, but the rain was a surprise, and by the look of it so was her going somewhere. I gently laid the blanket on her, trying to make sure she was warm. The silence grew awkward, so I broke it.

"So what were you doing out there?" I asked Anna.

"I'm new to the area, so I use my GPS when I go places, and suddenly my car broke down outside your house. I grabbed my phone to give the tow company a call when my phone died. Almost on cue the rain started pouring, so I ran to the nearest gate. Luckily your gate was open so I ran in and started ringing the door bell, hoping someone would answer. Luckily you did." I say looking at Colby. "So I guess you guys are the only ones home." I say sipping my hot chocolate.

"How did you know more people live here?" Sam asked cautiously.

"I watch your channels of course." I say. Colby's eyes widened. "I'm surprised you didn't freak out when I opened the door." He said.

"Well, I was halfway blind from all the water in my eyes. I did however have a mental freakout moment when my vision came back."

"I'm surprised you didn't say anything." Colby said.

"I didn't want to seem like a crazy fan." I said.

"We don't mind crazy fans." Colby said with a smile.
