Insane // Colby Brock

"What happened!? Are you okay!?" Katrina asked as tears welled up in her eyes.

I brushed myself off and hugged her. "It's okay. I'm fine. I'm just gonna stay away from that room." I asked as everyone nodded.

We all walked away from that room and into a different one. As soon as we were all in there, I went over to the wall and sat down. I let out a sigh as everyone sat down around me.

"Sorry guys... I just need a minute..." I said and looked down. "No worries! But... Can you tell us what happened?" Sam said as I nodded.

"When I opened the door, something flew across the room, then a loud, deep, and dark voice yelled at us– or at me to get out, then I felt something push me and the door slam shut..." I said and looked up.

"I remember something being thrown and the door slamming shut... But no voice" Tom said and everyone agreed. "Maybe I am crazy after all..." I said ashamed of myself.

I felt this heaviness on my chest. Why was I feeling so upset? I never get upset by seeing and hearing things that no one else does so why now, when there are two complete strangers sitting in front of me.

Katrina gasped at my words as Gus brought me into his side. "Don't say that sis..." Tom said with sadness.

"You aren't crazy. Maybe you are just... A target for spirits?" Colby said. "But why me? And why this place? And why today?" I asked, feeling a little frustrated at myself.

"Why here..." I asked with tears in my eyes. "What do you mean?" Sam asked politely.

"Well, whenever we go to that house we were talking about, we sometimes bring a Ouija board. But whenever we do, it always says "insane asylum." Well, that is sort of a... Trigger for us so we never questioned it because we didn't want to know the answer. Well yesterday we finally asked why it always says that and it basically told us that if we go to an abandoned insane asylum, they would stop saying it. So, we googled the first one and here we are." Caleb said as he rubbed my back.

"Wow" They both said as I nodded.

I started zoning out as they all talked about something. The memories of that morning came to my head, but they were interrupted by Gus.

"Scar?" He asked as I felt that under my eyes were wet from the tears that had fallen. I quickly wiped them and then faced him.

"Colby just came up with Katrina's new nickname..." He said and looked at me weirdly.

He looked at me like I should have known what he was talking about. Probably because I was looking at Colby as I zoned out.

He knew something was wrong.

"Sorry, what was it?" I asked and smiled as I turned to face Colby. "I was thinking Kat with a K." He said and smiled.

"Why didn't we think of that?!" I asked with a laugh. "I don't know... But are you sure you're okay? You spaced out for a while" Gus said.

"I'm just tired. It's been a long day." I said.

It was true, I was really tired and it was a long and eventful day. Everyone stood up, and started gathering their things.

"Alright, well we're going home. Thanks for being cool and not killing us and all." Gus said causing everyone to laugh.

"Yeah thank you, also sorry for ruining your video." I said and frowned. "If anything you guys made it better. And thank you guys for not killing us too." Sam said as I chuckled.

"Do you mind if we all get each other's numbers? We could maybe hang out sometime or collab again." Colby said and shrugged as we all nodded and went on our phones.

We quickly passed them around, typed in our info, then handed them back.

"Thanks again guys, and feel better Scar." Sam said with a smile as Colby nodded. I smiled.

"Thanks. Bye!" We all said our goodbyes and then us five went home as Sam And Colby stayed to finish their video.

As soon as we got home, I got ready for bed then crashed onto my pillow, almost instantly falling asleep.

Not even an hour later I woke up from the same nightmare. It was so intense that I needed some comfort.

I grabbed my phone to call someone, noticing I had a text from Colby. I couldn't help but smile seeing his name with a black heart next to it. It sent me instant comfort. I quickly unlocked my phone and read the text.

Colby🖤: Hey Scarlet it's Colby. I just realized that we are total jerks for getting a shout out from you but you never getting one from us. What are your channels?

I smiled and started typing back.

Me: Hey Colby! No worries, you aren't jerks! The channels are Scarlet Stuart, Tom Stuart, Katrina Stuart, totallyGus, and Caleb's here.

Colby🖤: Okay cool! Thanks! How are you feeling?

Me: Just a little shaken up but better.

Colby🖤:That's good! Glad to hear. It was really nice meeting you guys, I had fun!

Me: It was good meeting you too. I also had fun.

Colby🖤: That's good. Well I'll let you go. I have to help Sam edit. Good night. I'll talk to you later?

Me: Sounds good, have fun. Good night. Definitely.

Colby🖤: Bye Scar

Me: Bye Colby

I smiled then went to YouTube, looking up their channels. I watched a few from both before going to bed. They were funny and nice people.

I was really glad I met them.
