The Traphouse // c.b & b.t

I'm a Genius

"So let me get this straight," Kian says as he starts putting the camera away. "You think Colby sent that text message?"

"Yes!" I show him the text again. "Look at the C at the end of the sentence."

"Yeah, Sam wouldn't do anything like that." Kian sits back down next to me on the couch.

"I know, he's too sweet and quiet frankly he was genuinely freaked out after the whole thing."

"Are you going to confront Colby?" Kian asks.

"Should I?" I look at him and he's grinning. "What."

"You know what I would do." He says.

I raise an eyebrow. "Actually I'm not sure." I continue cautiously.

"I would go along with it." He says. "Pretend like you're not bothered. If you confront him you may be playing into his ways. He probably wants you to go to him."

I widen my eyes. "That's one of the most sane and normal things I've probably ever heard you say."

He shrugs his shoulders. "Sometimes I'm a genius."

"Yeah." I stand up. "Sometimes"

I laugh and he starts fake laughing with me.

"Well thanks for filming the video with me." I say as I grab my wallet and keys.

"No problem, thanks for filming for JC's and I."

"Always gotchu." I smile. "Bye!" I wave to him before heading out to my car.

Kians right. I shouldn't be bothered by any of this. Besides, it's obvious it really bothered Colby if he's willing to take Sam's phone and pretend to be him just so he could get something out of me.

I quietly laugh to myself as I get in my car.

I'm about to start heading home, when I get a text message. I pull out my phone and see it's from Devyn.

Devyn: Hey girl, you busy?

I think about lying, and saying I am busy, so that I can go home. But if she has plans, it would be better than being home alone on a friday night.

Me: Nope! what's up?

Devyn: theres going to be a small party at the traphouse tonight if you wanna come?

A party at the traphouse means I'm going to have to see Colby. You know what, I don't care.

Me: I'm so down. I'm going to stop by my house and change so i'll let you know when i'm on my way

Devyn: Sounds good!

I put my phone away and head home.

After freshening up I changed into a new outfit;

Considering it's really warm outside, the skirt kind of spoke to me.

I walk out into the kitchen/living room area and notice that Franny still isn't home.

I'll text her later.

I text Devyn that I'm on my way before heading out.

"Candy I'm so glad you came!" I walk through the front door of the traphouse when Devyn engulfs me into a sloppy hug, I can tell she's already kind of drunk. However her makeup, still absolutely flawless.

"I'm glad I'm here too!" I smile at her.

"C'mon!" She grabs my hand and drags me through the crowds of people. The similar feelings of a similar event rush through my head as my eyes scan from Devyns hand to her pushing through randoms.

She stops once we get to the kitchen.

"Here." She hands me a bottle of vodka quickly.

"When you said you were going to have some people over I though you were only talking about a few." I look around at the ginormous party amongst us. "Not the whole youtube community."

"You know how these things are," She yells over the music. "Once the words out, everyone knows."

I nod my head in agreement. She's right.

"Now, take a shot with me." She pours mine and hands it to me before she pours her own. "Ready?"

"Hell yeah," I cheers with her before throwing it back.

The once chilled liquor warms up as it goes down my throat.

"Wow." I squint my eyes and we both start laughing.

In the middle of us talking and laughing, I notice Devyn look behind me.

"What?" I turn around and come face to face with the one person I was going to try and avoid all night.
