sunrise

adeline's point of view

colby and i brought everyone their food about three hours ago. it's currently 4am and everyone is sleeping except me. We just got done filming a scary video and i just can't stop thinking about colby. do i like him? does he like me? of course he doesn't like me he's colby brock. what will lexi think? why do i feel so strongly about someone who is practically a stranger?

as scared as i was going through this abandoned mansion, i needed to get away from everything and just clear my mind. i started up to the second floor and then the third and then the fourth. i wanted to sit out on the roof and watch the sunrise. i had a good hour and a half till then but i knew i wouldn't get any sleep. i sat on the roof right above that scary ass balcony, just thinking about life. i heard someone below me say my name.... i knew it was colby's voice.

"i'm up here colbs" i said as he began hopping up onto the roof next to me. "what're you doing up so late?" he asked as he pulled me closer with his arm and i laid my head on his shoulder. "just thinking" i said thinking about how perfect this moment was. "about what?" he asked moving hair out of my face. if you didn't know us, you would think we were dating from the way that this looked. "about life" i responded shortly, comfortable silence falling upon us as we sat on the roof top, admiring the view.

i can't begin to imagine what it would be like to date colby. he seems so caring. i feel like he would be a clingy boyfriend, but in a good way. he would always check in on you and he would call you all the time and he'd always want to be around you. he'd be slightly overprotective and willing to beat anyone up for you. i smiled at the thought in my head

i don't even realize that the sun is rising till i hear colby whisper in my ear, "this is gonna sound cheesy but i can't even tell what's more beautiful, you or the view" i could feel myself blush and goosebumps filled my body. in this moment, i knew that i had feelings for colby.

i grinned up at him, not responding, simply because i didn't know how to respond. just cause he called you pretty doesn't mean he has feelings for you. colby moved away a little bit but i didn't look back. you made him feel uncomfortable, you should've responded. you're so dumb sometimes. "ad, look here" he said as i turned towards him and he took a picture of me with the view in the background. i had been smiling, the wind blowing my hair in my face. "we should take one together" i said grinning over at him. we took some selfies with the sunrise in the back. we ended up setting the tripod up to take some more.

we went back to the position we had been in before he moved to take my picture. his arm wrapped around me, my head on his should. everything was perfect.

i heard a phone go off behind me, indicating that one of our friends had taken a picture of us. colby and i both turned around and saw jake and madeline there. they both smirked at us and went back down into the house.

"we need to have something special" he said looking over to me. "we need something like our own explore stickers that we can put everywhere we go together." this indicated to me that he wanted to hang out again. i broke out in the biggest smile. "do you have more of these?" he asked motioning to the light pink satin ribbon tied around my wrist. "tons of them" i said smiling back to him. he took the ribbon off my wrist and tied it around the balcony pole. i took a picture of it on snapchat.
