*A Few Days Later*

Alexis' POV

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I squinted to see the name of the caller. Colby.  I picked the phone up and my thumb seemed to hover over it for too long until it finally came down and accepted it. I put the phone to my ear.

"Hello?" I said softly. I heard Colby cough a bit. "Hey, we are filming that video today, wanna come over real quick?" I smiled softly and nodded my head even though he could not see it. "Yeah, I'll be over in a few." We hung up and I rubbed my eyes. I got up and walked out of the room and into the bathroom. I quickly showered and did what I had to do.

After putting on my clothing, I grabbed a bag and put what I needed inside of it

After putting on my clothing, I grabbed a bag and put what I needed inside of it. Shampoo, conditioner, a brush, a towel, perfume, and a bathing suit. I smiled and grabbed the car keys and my phone. I left a note for my mom and walked out of the hotel room. I got in the elevator and went down.

I made my way to the car and got inside. I drive to their apartment, well not for long, and walked inside. Colby was already down in the lobby to meet me. He gave me a hug and we made our way over to the elevator.

"So, are you ready?" I nodded my head smiling. "Can't wait." He smiled and laughed. "You have everything you need right, shampoo, conditioner?" I nodded and so did he. "Good." We made it to the top and they had already bought all the cereal. "Go ahead and change and then come out and sit down with us." I nodded and went into Colby's room and changed.

I put my bag and stuff down on his bed and brought out my camera. I set it next to his and had it recording. I was gonna get straight into the video. They started dumping the cereal into the pool they had and I smiled. Some of them even ate some of the cereal. I was sitting next to Colby. I took a while before all the bags were in the pool and now they were dumping in the milk.

I felt myself being pulled and I was now in Colby's lap. I squealed and left something cold run down my body. I squirmed. "Ahh, it's cold!" I squealed and giggled. Soon, I wiped the hair out of my face and we started jumping around in the pool and throwing the cereal everywhere.

"Last Day!!! Congrats Sam and Colby!!" We giggled and I jumped. I was having fun. Soon it was over and we all got towels. They let me shower first. As soon as I was done. I got dressed and got out putting the dirty towel in the garbage because it was now ruined from the milk.

I grabbed my camera once again and smiled. "Wooo I was helping celebrate Sam and Colby's last day in their apartment, this was fun, and......gross at the same time. I think I might smell like milk for a week."

I giggled. I soon felt arms wrap around my shoulders and turned a little see who it was. "Guys this is Brennen, one of Colby's friends." He smiled and said what's up. Soon enough, I stopped recording and set my camera back in the bag.

Everyone left and now it was just me and Colby. Sam was with his girlfriend. We were sitting on the couch talking. "And, well, we are moving in with a bunch of other guys, I think we might have one room left over." (Aaron is not going to be living with them, but, he will be in the story occasionally.) "That's good I guess." He nodded and smiled. "I was actually wondering if you wanted to be the one who takes the room?"

I looked at him surprised then thought about it. I have a lot of money, I can buy my mom, Max, and Jake a house nearby. I smiled and nodded but soon the smile disappeared. "This is my last year in school, I need to graduate, I don't have long." He nodded understanding.

"I get it, just, after graduation, come here." I nodded. "I will, don't worry." We talked for a little longer and then I soon left. I made my way back to the hotel to see they were already packing up a bit. "Wait, are we leaving today?" My mother shook her head. "Tomorrow, you guys need to go back to school remember?" We nodded our heads. "I'll be back.

I had to drive back to Sam and Colby's. I was let in by Brennen and immediately went up stairs. I ran to Colby's room and barged in. I seen him bringing boxes out of his room. He looked at me. "Forget something?" I nodded and ran towards him. I gave him a hug and he hugged me back. "What's this for?" I frowned and rubbed my face against his chest a bit. "I'm leaving tomorrow, I wanted to say goodbye."

He lifted my chin. "Why say it like you are leaving forever? You're coming back." I nodded and whispered. "I know, but, we don't know that for sure, I could always be on my way and something could happen, you know what I mean." He nodded his head and hugged me. We said our byes again and I quickly drove back to the hotel. They said to sleep now because the flight was early. I got a text from Colby.
************************************

Colby: Hey, when is your flight?

Me: 3:35am, why?

Colby: I wanna meet up
with you before you go.

Me: Oh, okay.

I laid down in the bed with Max as she slept. I soon fell asleep. Dreaming of everything that happened today with a small smile.
