"You wanna explain to me why you woke me up at the ass crack of dawn?" I ask the brunette beside me.

An hour ago, five o'clock on the dot, Colby called me. All he told me was to take a quick shower and put something on cause we're gonna get hot.

I had on leggings with a matching sports bra, and of course they were light pink.

I had my hair up in a tight ponytail with a headband on to hold back my baby hairs.

Colby laughed a little as he started driving. "I figured we could spend the day together and go hiking." He said happily.

That does sound fun. I love hiking. I started frowning though. "I didn't bring any water." I tell him honestly.

"I brought a backpack full of water, Gatorade, and snacks." I look in the back to see the bag he brought.

It was still a little dark outside. "Wow, Colby. Feeling adventurous?" I ask him. I grab his phone so I could play our playlist.

"Maybe just a little. I just feel like the two of us haven't hung out in awhile, just the two of us." He did have a point.

It'll be nice for the both of us to go out and do something that's not drinking and partying.

"Yeah, I wonder why?" I tease him a little bit. He rolls his eyes towards me while smiling.

I'm happy we're past that and we're able to joke about it. "Oh fuck off." He shakes his head.

The drive to the hiking trails was honestly really fun. We sang a bunch of different songs to keep us awake.

When we get to the hiking trails, he parks the car as we get out. He hands me the bag with all the snacks as he has the one of the drinks.

I followed him towards this one trail that he's been on before. He said the sunrise view was amazing.

"Does this remind you of Suicide Forest?" I ask him speaking up.

Back in twenty-seventeen him, Brennen Taylor, Elton Castee, and Jay Walker stayed the night in Japan's Suicide Forest.

It's crazy to think that when he was twenty, he was in Japan. During that same year, I was partying with Kian and Jc.

I could hear him sigh while thinking about it. "Thanks for putting the thought in my head." He shakes his head.

I laugh a little bit as I follow behind him. Fifteen minutes later, we're at the look out.

You can see the mountains in the distance as the sun was starting to rise.

I couldn't help but go to the ledge and sit down to watch. A second later, Colby was sitting down next to me.

"You were right, it is beautiful." I speak to Colby. I was in awe of the view.

"It is." I turn to look over at Colby to see he was staring at me. Him staring at me made me blush a little bit.

I turn back to the view, making sure I take everything in. It really was beautiful.

"Do you ever think about what would've happened if you didn't get famous on vine?" I ask.

I could feel a deep conversation about to start. He sighed while he thought about it.

"Yeah, I know I wouldn't be in California. I wouldn't change any of it though." He was smiling a little bit.

The way the sun was hitting his face, he honestly looked good. "I've had so many cool opportunities that most people my age don't get."

He was going on tour and traveling while most people his age were having their eight am classes and working their nine to five.

Him and Kian were definitely blessed. "I mean, yeah the fans are overprotective but I've been blessed in more ways than once."

I started thinking about the fans and how overprotective they are. "Is that one of the reasons why you haven't dated recently?" I ask him.

He sighs and nod his head. "Whoever I decide to date, I'm scared they're going to scare her off." He admits.

I don't know why but him saying that made me a little upset. I don't know why but I could feel my heart hurt.

"I think whoever it is, they won't get scared." I point out. He nods his head towards me.

He then looks over towards me. "What about you, Kylie?" I look at him questionably.

"What do you mean?" I laugh a little bit. He shrugged while he looked off into the distance.

"Why haven't you dated?" He asked me curiously. I sigh while I think about it.

"I don't know. It's hard looking for love in a place where everyone's focused on random hookups."

I've been single since I've lived here. "I just don't think I've found the one that's looking for the same thing." I frown.

I look over at him to see he had sadness in his eyes. It almost looked like it hurt him that I said that.

I could see him physically shake it off and look at me. "I'm sure you will soon." He smiled.

We watched the rest of the sunrise together, and it really was beautiful. We talked about a bunch of deep shit.

That's the thing I love about Colby, I can never run out of conversation. The whole day with Colby was honestly really fun.

We went on a bunch of different trails, me making him take pictures of me for my instagram.

We took a break during lunch to eat Subway and went back to hiking. It was a good workout honestly.

By the end of the day, I was sore, gross, and worn out. We got tender greens and ate there for dinner.

Once I was done eating, he drove me back to my apartment. "Thanks for spending the day hiking with me." He put the car in park and smiled towards me.

"Thanks for inviting me. I had fun." I return the smile. He looks at me sadly, like he doesn't want me to leave.

"I'll see you tomorrow." I wave as I get out of his car. It really was good seeing and spending time with him.

We share our goodbyes, me heading up to the apartment. I'm really happy the two of us made up.

Those two weeks without him were honestly shit. I know I can talk to Heather about stuff, but it's not the same.

Colby understands me on a deeper level. When I walk into the apartment, her and Harrison were on the couch.

They were cuddling, which I thought was really cute. They heard me walk in and paused their movie.

"How was hiking?" Harrison asked as I walked in. "It was really good. It was a nice day outside." I tell them.

Heather was smiling towards me. "The pictures looked good on your instagram." She complimented.

"That's why I keep Colby around." I joked with the two. They looked in between each other and back towards me.

I stood there for a moment and exhaled. "I'm going to go shower." I announce. I went to my room to grab a fresh pair of clothes.

I take a quick shower, the water relaxing my muscles. It felt good to wash everything away.

When I get out of the shower, I braid my hair so it could be wavy. When I got done, I laid in bed and scrolled through my phone.

I was mainly scrolling through the comments. Everyone was saying how good I looked and how pretty the pictures I took are.

People were also shipping me with Colby, which didn't surprise me. As I laid there, I start to imagine what it would be like if we were together.

I've never seen Colby in a relationship. I couldn't help but wonder what he's like in a relationship.

I'm definitely getting mixed emotions.
