COLBY POV

I woke up in the middle of the night to Erin crying shaking me to wake up. I was confused and worried

"Colby! Colby" I hear a slight voice

"What? What happened?" As I jumped straight up

"I don't know I heard a loud bang come from downstairs"

"Are you sure? It wasn't just Circa or Buddy? Something like that?" I asked

"No it sounded like it came from Sam's room" She responded back

"Sams room? Oh god" I said getting up. I was shirtless and only had on boxers, with snowmen on them

"Love the boxes" Erin joked trying to lighten the mood

"Thanks" I joked back, while slipping on a pair of sweats. Before we left the room I grabbed a tripod, for self defense

"Colby what if...like someone is actually in here?" Erin asked nearly crying

"No-one would be, Elton is probably screwing with us" We walked out of my room, and slowly walked down the long hallway til we got to Sam's

"Sam?" I spoke knocking on the door

"BOO!" Sam and Elton yelled jumping out at Erin and I

"Fuck! Holy shit" I screamed at the top of my lungs

"Good morning!" Sam, and Katrina said together

"It's two in the morning! We're trying to sleep!"

The whole entire time through this conversation Erin just his her face behind pondering everywhere in Sam's room

"I'm sorry this wa-" Sam started but Erin cut him off

"No its fine" Erin said bags under her eyes. With her hair in a messy high bun. I don't think she slept much, she tossed and turned all night. "Colby I'm gonna go...back to bed I-I really need some sleep...jetlag" She mumbled walking off to my room

"I feel so bad now" Katrina lightly said not wanting Erin to hear to much

"Yeah...she's really been through a lot I'm guessing, she lost her parents, and has been in and out of homeless shelters" I said crossing my arms while looking at the ground

"Wow...man I thought you guys just met at the airport or something like that, how did you guys meet?" Sam asked

"A restaurant at the beginning of the trip, and she had no home so I talked to Elton, and he talked to her and, that's where it happened I guess" I ranted

"Oh that's cool! Well I'll let you get to bed. We gotta get to bed ourselves" Sam said back

"Yeah night guys!" I responded back walking back to my room. I walked in to see Erin just sitting on my bed just staring

"They hate me don't they?" She said tears streaming down her face

"What? No. Why would you think that?" I asked. I made my way over to my bed sitting down next to her. "Erin, what's wrong?"
