SAFE ||(Colby Brock)

Exploration pt.2

(Your POV) 
After eating lunch, we drove a for about 20 minutes when we reached Pasadena and parked in a parking lot that was a few feet from the entrance to the YMCA. We got some stuff together, locked the car, and easily jumped the small fence. "Well, that was easier than I thought." "Yeah, but if it was that easy, then there has to be other people in here. So,be careful." Sam warned. "What's that? Dude, its someone's bike...!" Colby said. "Guys, be very careful" Sam said. "Yeah... I don't want last night to happen again..." i said. Sam pried open the piece of plywood that was covering a window. "hurry! get in." he said. Colby and i wedged ourselves in and Colby held he wood up for Sam to get in. The wood fell and hit the window frame with a slight slam. "Colby!" Sam whispered. "Sorry!" He said. i just followed behind them and tried not to make much noise or trip over any debris that littered the floor. There was no graffiti whatsoever, which was a good sign that people didn't come here often. The ceiling had signs of burn damage which made me think what happened in this building's past. We messed around, goofed off, ran around inside the empty pool, pretended to play basketball on the court. Sam stood on the edge of the balcony over the pool and put down the XPLR sticker.
We started to explore the locker rooms when Colby heard a nose coming from behind him. "Was that just the water dripping or...?" Sam asked. "No dude. It sounded like you were behind me. But you were in front of me the whole time." Colby said. Sounding frightened. "Yeah..." "Wait guys. Shh..." I wanted over towards a window. "Guys... you might wanna see this..." I stood peering through a slit between the boards on the window. "There's a construction worker literally standing 5 feet or less in front of us right now." Sam whispered to the camera. Sam too videos on his phone to see what the guy was doing. "He's like lifting pipes and stuff. But if we can hear him, he could probably hear us." Colby whispered. Sam was still examining the videos.  "Oh no. He's trying to get in. Let's go, Let's go!" We silently but quickly wanted into the next corridor and through a few rooms.
We got a few rooms away for the man and we stopped to decipher what was going on. "That guy probably lives here..." Sam whispered. "Oh yeah, dude, we saw that bike! The 'free bike.'" they said. "It could be his!" I said.
We were walking to the other side of the building to find another possible exit. I was walking ahead of them a little ways when I heard a nose from the hallway we were about to walk into. "W-what was that? Did you guys hear that??" I stepped back a little. My footsteps echoed through the empty gymnasium. We all stopped and listened quietly. "Bro there's someone else." Sam said. I stepped back a few more steps. ", If we come here for an overnight or hide n seek, we might find other people..." Sam nervously laughed.
After silence for a few minutes, we shook it off and headed onward. "Like always, we need to find a way onto the roof." Sam declared. "So we're just going to go stand on the roof of a building that's in the middle of a busy city, had been abandoned for over 10 years, and had burn spots everywhere? Great." I sighed sarcastically.
There was a loud sound of bottles crunching from somewhere on the floor we were on. "Did you hear that??" Colby shot his head towards me and Sam, wide-eyed. "I didn't catch it on camera but there definitely was bottles crunching." Sam whispered to the viewers. "Are y'all always in a serious situation like this!? I've watched a few of your videos and I was on edge the whole time. But then again, it could just be my anxiety." I laughed quietly. We stick our heads into a room with a small hallway leading to it, talking quietly to each other. Colby was about to walk into the room when there was a shuffling sound and bottles moving again. They both quickly backed up; Colby's face was in a shocked "O" as he looked at me and Sam who were slowly backing away from the doorway. "No, no, no." I mouthed to Colby and i gestured for him to sneak over to us. "Let's get out of here." He mouthed and walked really fast down the corridor. "I don't like this.. there's at least 2 people we know of in here with us." I whispered.

(Sam's POV)
We started to walk away from the person in the room and I spotted the way to the basement. "Who's going into the creepy basement first~." I joked. "Why not." (Y/n) responded, "I'm gonna die of a panic attack anyway." There was nothing really down there but more rooms, bloody handprints, and more burn marks. Back upstairs, the guy was still there by the fence where we came in from. "We'll get on this room guys! Or die trying!" Colby said to the camera. Do we trekked all the way back upstairs.

(Your POV)
"I can see my car from here." Sam said creepily. "Huh, you can." I said. "Well, bye guys!" I saluted and pretended to jump out the window. They both laughed. "The whole place is burnt down and deteriorated, if we even got on the roof we probably die." Colby said. "Like I said. It wouldn't be possible in this building." I said with an "I told you so" smile I often wear. "So... We died trying." Colby said, defeated. "Yep. Let's just go."  I said walking in front.
Luckily, there was nobody there when we left. But the bike was gone.... "Dude, the bike's gone!" Colby laughed. "So the guy we saw with the bike... It was him!" He said. "Wow.. that was exciting... not." I said sighing. "Aw come on!" Sam joked. "Yeah, it was a little fun!" Colby said. "A little, but I was dying of anxiety the whole time." "Yeah well, that's what we do in our videos. It gets more fun when you get used to it." Sam reassured. "I doubt it. I'm very light-hearted. Sometimes. In situations like this." "You better get used to it, because we coming back here tomorrow night!" Colby said excitedly. "Whoopty doo." I said, not looking forward to it at all.

A\n: whoop. Yeah, it's still long sorry. I may or may not have copied the video and some of the speaking may be word for word directly from the video. But who cares;). -Katelyn.
