Do You Mean It?

Part 6: Overnight~3

          I began laughing as Sam highfived Colby. I believed we could do it from the beginning, but it felt unreal to be back. For the first time in a while I could truly have fun with my friends. I stepped on the side of the box, letting it bend, and got out. 

"Just got a text from Elton," Colby told us. "they're on their way over- and he says they almost got caught."

"Oh, great," I sighed. "at least that's great for the video,"

"True," Jake chuckled. should we go out and meet them?"

"I guess so," Sam said. 

"You ready for tonight?" Colby asked me as we began walking. 

"So ready," I smiled. "I missed this so much."

"Missed what, exactly?" Colby smirked.

"Honestly, doing absolutely illegal and stupid stuff with you guys," I chuckled a little and smiled. "and not giving a single crap for just one night."

"You know," Colby said. "we kept doing this stuff without you, for the channels,"

"Of course," I nodded. 

"But it didn't feel the same without you," he sighed. "maybe it was the lack of screaming but-"

"Hey!" I playfully slapped his arm. "I don't scream that much,"

"BUT," he laughed over me. "Either way it just felt off. I'm glad to have you back, Lucille."

"Thanks I guess," I sighed again, uncrossing my arms. "missed you too, Ace."

"Yeah, I bet you missed me," Colby raised his eyebrows and nodded.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I crossed my arms again, raising an eyebrow.

"I mean we both know I make your videos way better," he nodded again. "and I give you way more views."

"Excuse me?" I tilted my head. 

"I only speak the truth," He put his hands up and smirked. I scrunched my nose and almost said something before we heard Elton and saw him walking up.

"Yeah so the security guard literally looked right at us," Elton stood in front of us.

"We definitely should've just gone to jail," Corey nervously laughed next to him. "like I seriously cannot believe we didn't just go to jail."

"Wait, wait," Sam stopped them. "please explain."

"Well," Elton began, "we were hiding under the drop ride, as we planned,"

"Uh-huh," Sam nodded.

"When we hear some workers come closer," he explained. "Corey and I went silent and listened to what sounded like just talking- but then, they suddenly go closer to the little flap of fabric that covers the underside where we were,"

"Then one of the guys just straight up lifts it and looks in," Corey chimed in. "and swear to God he starts skimming the place with his flashlight!"

"Oh, crap." Jake said sort of laughing.

"My thoughts exactly," Elton continued. "so he's looking through and goes directly over us without noticing. It was a miracle that he didn't catch us."
