The Road Trip (Colby Brock)

Chapter 16

The room was huge. When we walked in, there was a kitchen to the left and a living room area to the right. Straight ahead were the beds and bathroom. "Welcome to your new home until Wednesday" Colby said dropping the bags. "Wednesday? This is ours for three days?" "Yep" I turned and walked to the beds and claimed the one closest to the sliding glass door that led to a balcony. I opened the door and walked outside to look at the city below me. It was only 4:00 so it wasn't very lit up but it was still beautiful. I walked back in and got my bags. "You're unpacking all your stuff for just three days?" Colby asked confused. "No, I'm just getting the stuff I know I'm gunna need" I laughed and he got his stuff out too. When I finished I laid on my bed and Colby sat on his. We sat in silence for an hour and a half watching tv.

"Spill" "What?" "We're here and it's been almost two hours, so tell me." "Right, I forgot. So you know me and Sam have a youtube channel right?" "I knew he did but I never really looked into it" "Oh, well we have a lot of fans and some of them are protective." "Okay, what does this have to do with me?" I was getting impatient but at least he was telling me something. "Some of them will attack any girl I'm seen with, you moved in with us so you're gunna be in a few videos most likely." "Okay, that doesn't explain why you acted like that" he wasn't making any sense right now. "I thought that if I made you hate me, you would stay away from me and there wouldn't be a problem." "You could've just said that in the first place dumbass, you didn't have to start anything or be an asshole." "I wasn't thinking okay? I'm sorry" I felt bad for getting upset with him. I could see that he really was sorry. "I'm hungry. Wanna go somewhere for dinner?" I asked trying to change the subject. "As long as they have alcohol, I'm down." "I'm not drinking tonight, you have fun though. Unless you find a place with alcohol and chicken tenders." he laughed but I was being serious. "I'll change in the bathroom" he said grabbing his bag and closing the door behind him. I grabbed my bag and grabbed a pair of ripped black skinny jeans, a white long sleeve shirt, and an XPLR hoodie Sam had given me and said it was his merch, I liked it because it was soft. I put on my shoes and Colby walked out of the bathroom in black jeans with a pocket chain, a red and black striped button up shirt, and his chains. I caught myself staring and looked away hoping he didn't notice, I couldn't help it he was hot. "I like your hoodie" he said laughing "Thanks, Sam gave it to me" "That's our merch" he laughed again. "Where are we going?" my attempt to change the subject worked "You wanna just walk until we find something?" "Sure but not too far" "Alright lets go."

After 10 minutes we finally found a sports bar restaurant. "Finally, I was beginning to think we wouldn't find anything" he said dramatically. It was only 6:45 but the place was pretty crowded. I would've thought people waited until later, guess not. We went inside and we were sat at a booth, I sat across from Colby and we ordered our drinks. I got Dr.Pepper and Colby got a whiteclaw "You're gunna need a lot of those if you wanna get drunk, there's not a lot of alcohol in them" "I know, but they're good." After a few minutes we got our drinks and were ready to order, I got chicken tenders and fries and Colby got a steak and salad. The chicken tenders were amazing but the fries weren't that good so I stole Colby's salad. After we ate he wanted to go to the bar, he said he wasn't drunk enough yet. "Sure you don't want anything?" "I'm good, have fun" he was already pretty drunk but he wasn't super drunk. After a few more whiteclaws and some random conversation he said he was ready to go so we walked back to the hotel. It was 9:30 when we got back and I was tired but I went out to the balcony and Colby followed. "I lied earlier" "What? About what?" "Why I was mean to you" what did he lie about? "Well, will you tell me the truth?" "I was mean because I like you, a lot, but I wanted to protect you from the hate. So I tried to make you hate me" what? HE likes ME? No he doesn't, he's drunk. "Colby, you don't know what you're talking about, you're drunk. I'm going to bed" "Night princess" "Don't call me that" I laughed and went back inside. What if he really did like me? Probably not.
