Byond The Norm

Chapter 8

The next morning Colby got up super early and so did you. You wanted to say goodbye to him before he left. He hugged you tight and kissed the nape of your neck. Looking into your eyes when he pulled back and kissed you, you kissed back rubbing his neck with your fingers.

When you pulled away you smiled at each other.

" Take care of yourself, Colby, okay?"

" Don't worry I will and you do the same. I know Elton, he has some crazy stuff planned for sure so just be careful."

" I will be, I promise."

You shared one last kiss before he had to go and you watched as he closed the door of the room and looked out the window as he got into a taxi heading for the airport.

You plopped back to bed and fell asleep again until an alarm clock woke you up. You got dressed and met up with the boys.

" Morning everyone, so today we have skydiving and jet ski riding on the schedule." Elton informed everyone and you and Sam were pretty excited whereas Corey was scared.

" You know I hate heights Elton!" He exclaimed loudly and all of you laughed.

After some time you arrived at the place of skydiving and got ready, the camera taking everyone's mood at the moment and you were all excited and slightly nervous.

When you jumped out of the plane and went free falling you screamed in adrenaline, it was the most intense and the most exciting moment of your life. The wind blowing to your face as you got closer and closer to the ground.

When everyone was on the ground, nobody could stop talking about it and about how amazing it felt. The next thing to do was the jet skis, each of you got one and went out to the open water. Just jumping up on the waves. It was so much fun. You loved experiencing new stuff and this was the best way to do it.

At dinner is when you started to realize how much you miss Colby already. You were quiet while you ate your food, only occasionally engaging in the conversation.

Sam very easily picked up on your bad mood and tried making jokes and telling funny stories to make you laugh and just make you feel better. But it didn't work very well, though you appreciated the effort.

After dinner he knocked on the door of your room and when you opened it he reached out his hand to you.

" I know you've been sad today because of Colby, so let me take you out for a walk to make it better. Or at least try to make it better."

" Sam…you don't have to do this. I'm fine, it's just so strange without Colby here you know?"

"Yeah I know, it feels weird for me too. But we can let that stop us from enjoying our time here. Come on, we still have so much to talk about and get to know each other."

He was right, you smiled softly at him and accepted his offered hand. You walked out of the hotel and down to the beach. The moonlight reflecting on the water.

"So y/n, what is it that you like to do? What is your passion? Besides traveling obviously."

" Well, you know, paranormal stuff, exploring, getting new experiences and memories. It's no accident that I watch your guys' videos." You smiled as you looked ahead.

" Nice…anything else, for me it's playing guitar and cars though supposedly I'm not that good of a driver. I crashed once before."

" Really? Wow I'm glad you're okay. And yeah there's something else but I'm not any good at it. I really love to sing."

"Oh really.? Huh.. guess I have a type.." Sam mumbled to himself, thinking about Katrina.

" What was that?" You ask squinting your eyes curiously at him.

" Nothing. Also how do you know you're not good at singing? Would you let me hear you?"

You hesitated and then nodded. You might as well, maybe you'll even start the singing channel you've been meaning to do for a while.

" Okay we'll figure something out, maybe you can play guitar while I sing." You smiled looking at him. He grinned back at you. Taking off his lashirt he threw it to the sand as you looked at him puzzled.

He just smirked at you. " Feel free to join me on a night swim if you want." With that he ran into the water and dove in. Swimming in the waves, smiling and waiting if you'll join him or not.

You laughed and stripped to the swim suit you had under your clothes and followed Sam into the water. You started splashing each other while laughing as you laid on your back floating and looking up at the sky, while Sam was watching you with a smile on his face.

" This was the best idea. Swimming so late in the moonlight. Thank you Sam, for making me feel better."

" You're welcome."

Soon you get out of the water and walk back to the hotel, Sam walking you up to your room while making small talk.

" See you tomorrow y/n…goodnight"

" Goodnight Sam"

You smile at each other and you walk in the room closing the door while he walks to his. Both of you looking forward to another day of adventure…
