Broken and Fearless // C.B.

Chapter 112

Sam's video: EXPLORING a Closed Escape Room (OVERNIGHT)

Juliet's POV:

The last person left and we had the escape room to ourselves.

Colby was wondering why they trusted us and Sam asked if they knew our history.

I frowned. "Uh, you mean both your history. I had nothing to do with a certain event a year-and-a-half ago."

Colby glanced at me. "Thanks, babe."

"You're welcome."

Sam told the viewers that every employee thought the place was haunted.

I looked between them. "Don't let a ghosty-ghost touch me."

Colby pulled me close. "You heard that, spirits? She's mine!"

Sam laughed and guessed the employees knew who we, they, were so they offered to let them stay the night, which honestly, was incredibly nice of them to do.

We came to an Employees Only door and Colby felt like we were in an Elton video.

I pouted. "I miss Elton videos."

As we walked through, Sam freaked about seeing a Dracula and I made a weird face and said, "I vant to suck your blood!"

Sam glanced at me. "Dude, your wife is so weird."

Colby nodded. "Yeah. Babe, don't freak him out."

We entered the control room and saw ourselves on camera. Colby grabbed a can of Lysol before sitting on the package.

I glanced at him. "I hope you're planning on returning that to its package."

He met my eyes. "But, Jules, Covid-19."

"But , Colbs, theirs, not yours."

Colby started talking in a mic and Sam and I went into another room. There were giant cards on the wall.

I ran up to one of the giant cards. "Look, guys! I'm shorter than these things."

"Short and adorable," Colby said into the mic. "There's people walking outside!"

Sam and I walked to the entrance of the room and he said, "Oh, my God, there's people!"

"Hello, people," I said with a wave.

Colby told us he could see everything we were doing and Sam started dancing. He started doing Tik-Tok dances and I rolled my eyes.

We determined we were in the Alice in Wonderland room. To be honest, it's never been my favorite story... or movies.

We found a switch telling us not to flip it and the boys thought the escape room with self-destruct.

Colby flipped it and I fell into his arms as I said, "You've killed me!"

"No! Jules!" Colby cried as I sat up laughing.

We explored more of the escape rooms and found one that seemed to be Willy Wonka.

I held up a hand. "Wait, wait, wait. Is it Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory or is it Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?"

Sam glanced at me. "I don't think it matters."

He noticed a chair and said, "Oh, my God this looks like a chair that Jake Webber would have."

I nodded. "Yeah, maybe."

Sam found a secret door and Colby said it was in the movie.

We joked about having to escape the escape room.

As we stepped into the hall, we heard keys jingle and I took Colby's hand, feeling slightly nervous.

We entered the Dracula room and I frowned, seeing the skulls on the wall. It honestly freaked me out a little.

Colby closed the coffin door on Sam, who was laying inside and it made a weird sound, then Colby and I heard a sound in the hall.

We made our way to the Jumanji type room and there were stickers of classic rock bands on the wall.

"Getting to my type of room," I commented.

Sam glanced at me. "I thought you liked pop punk."

"I do. And due to Supernatural, I also like classic rock, much to my dad's delight."

We fell silent, hearing noises.

We crossed into another room that looked like a jungle.

As we exited the room and made our way through the back, Colby said, "I don't know why exploring when you're supposed to be quarantining is so much scarier."

"Well, 'cause you know there's no one around-" Sam said.

"So when you're hearing noises it's, like-" he made light noises.

"Hoarse," Sam and I finished.

"Yeah."

"And why did they tell us it was haunted once we got here?" Sam wondered.

"I don't know if they didn't want to include that in the email."

We entered the pirate ship escape room we'd done for Colby's video and found the control tower.

Sam pointed out that the guy was in there, looking at us the entire time we were doing the escape room.

Sam found a sign telling people to talk to Jon about anything.

We walked into the hall and Sam said, "Oh, yo, yo, yo, yo, Colby, Juliet, I found the stairway to Heaven."

I looked around. "Where's the highway to Hell? And viewers, I didn't curse. It's a song."

"We always have to find the roof to things," Colby said.

We walked up to the roof and Colby wondered if we could get to the other buildings from the top.

We climbed to another building and Colby tried opening a latch, but it was locked. We took a moment to look out at Melrose.

Sam noticed what he guessed to be a restaurant.

The three of us walked back inside and entered what looked to be a mafia room.

The boys noticed the shelves of drinks and were disappointed to find them empty.

I shrugged. "Eh. I could care less."

Colby glanced at me. "That's 'cause you're not legal yet. September third you will be."

We saw a dead mafia guy.

Colby found money and Sam asked if it was real.

My husband picked it up and it was obviously fake.

Colby and I hid in a safe.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Sam asked.

Colby and I scared him and Sam said, "I knew you two were gonna do that, but you two scared me."

Colby found diamonds and rapped a little song about them.

We entered another escape room. Grandma's, this time.

"Dude, I hate grandmas, man, Jules," Colby said. "They freak me out. Except yours, Juliet. Your grandmothers are cool."

I tilted my head slightly. "You're saying that because you have to."

"No, no, I mean it."

Sam filmed his outro and told the viewers that he didn't know why we'd stayed, as it was horrifying.
