Colby's POV
I walked back into the house after opening the gate for Sarah. I walked straight up to Corey and Devyn's room and knocked. Corey came and opened the door. "We need to talk. Now." I said and walked into my room. He followed behind me and closed my door behind him. He sat down on my couch and looked at me expectingly. "Why do you hate her so much? She doesn't want anything from me. I almost had to beg her to come here cause I didn't want to leave her outside when she's locked out." I looked at him as he sighed. "I see the way you look at her bro. You like her. She doesn't want you tho and she is just going to break your heart and I don't want that. She is no good for you bro." I looked at him confused. "I don't like her bro. I just want to be friends. And there's something she's hiding and I want to find out what it is." Corey scoffed. "Dude you totally like her, but whatever helps you sleep at night Colby." He gets up and walks out. I don't like her. No I can't like her, she says she's dangerous. But she doesn't seem dangerous she just seems perfect. But I don't like her. Right?

Sarah's pov
We start our drive, our destination is Hollywood. It's only an hour drive away and I didn't put on any music so I know Katrina wants to start a conversation.
"Soooooo..."
"So?"
"Where are you from? Like ethnicity wise."
"I'm Jamaican and African American mixed with a whole bunch of stuff."
"Oh that's cool."
"Yep"
"Do you have any friends"
"Yes I have a crew I hang out with"
"Oh wow, can we meet any of them"
"They are all busy for the week"
"Oh okay."
"So do you like Colby?"
"No" yes
"Sureeeee I see the way you try not to look at him. You def like him. Why are you trying to hide it."
"I don't like him and even if I did I'm not good for him. It's bad for him to be around me."
"Why is it bad"
"Because it is"
"Well why is it."
"Because it is"
"Why tho"
"BECAUSE IM DANGEROUS!"
"....you don't look dangerous."
I take a deep breath "not me specifically but my life is dangerous. I can't drag him into something like that it's not fair."
"What happened?"
"I can't tell you."
"Please. Come on you can trust me."
"Leave me alone Katrina"
"Call me Kat and please just tell me"
I sighed. No one knows except for the gang and that's because they were there for it So I knew they had my back and that I could trust them. I can't let anyone else in. It wouldn't be fair for them. "I can't tell you. Just leave it at that." I see a house with a bunch of police cars in front. What's going on there? I think to myself and when the house is almost out of sight I see a faint purple glow. You're seeing things just keep driving, i thought. Just then we finally got into Hollywood and I parked. We got out and started walking around the place. "You know some stuff about me let me hear about you." She nods as her eyes light up. We walk around as she tells me everything and anything. About how their group works, who does what, what has happened in their life, and finally about all the what they call 'trap house members' lives. When she got to Corey I noticeably tensed. "Sorry, I know you and him don't get along." I sigh and look at her. "I have done nothing to anyone in that house, and no one has done anything to me. So that means I get along with everyone. He is beefing with himself, I'm not entertaining his mess." She looked at me with pure respect. "You go girl." We kept walking around and talking until Katrina looked at her phone. "Omg I didn't even know my phone was on silent. I have so many calls from everyone at the trap house." She panicked as she called back Sam. She walked a little further away as they had their conversation and I went to go sit on a bench. I watched her as she talked and couldn't help but admire the twinkle in her eye as she smiled at Sam's words. I felt a pang of jealousy hit me cause I can never have that. I will never be able to feel that type away for anyone again and it hurts. I didn't know tears were slipping from my eye until Katrina came over and wiped one. Clearly done with her conversation now she looked at me with concern over her face. "Are you okay?" She asked and I quickly wiped my tears and smiled. "Of course what did Sam day?"
"Oh he said that he and Colby want us home and that they were worried since we weren't answering." I nodded and stood and started to walk back to the car. Once we were on the road again the questions started again to.
"Why were you crying?"
"You ask to many questions. I'm fine."
"No you're not. Clearly you just don't want to talk to me. I will take on whatever you have Sarah, just talk to me." Honestly fuck it, life's short.
"Okay fine, but don't say I didn't warn you." She nodded eagerly. "It all started when I was 15. I had my first boyfriend. He was amazing. His name was Parker. He was my everything. We dated for five months until he died by suicide. Then there was Connor, we dated for eight months until he died by suicide. Then there was Whinnie, Bruce, Ren, and last but not least Tyshawn. All died the same way." I looked over at Katrina and she was just staring at me. "I'm so sorry. But why does that put me or Colby in danger?" I looked at her and a tear runs down my face. "Because they weren't suicides." I whisper.
