I look around to see I'm in the Conjuring house. My heart starts racing while I notice I was alone.
"Colby!" My voice echos throughout the house. I heard a faint yell from the basement.
I recognized the voice coming from Colby so I instantly ran down there so I can help him.
"Colby, are you okay?" I yell while going down there. When I looked down the hallway, all I could see was the little boy.
My heart was pounding in my chest as I looked at him. He started growing and getting bigger while his neck started to bend.
I jolt awake and look around to see I was in my room. It was a nightmare. Even though I knew it was a nightmare, I felt like I couldn't breathe.
I grabbed my phone off the charger and dialed the first number I could think of.
It rang for a moment or two and then I heard something. "Hello?" I heard Colby rasp towards me.
"Colby?" I breathe out. I hate to wake him, I just need to hear his voice.
"Ashton, are you okay?" I could hear a little worry in his voice. I sniffled while wiping a tear from my eye.
"I just had a nightmare and wanted to make sure you were okay." I sadly tell him.
I hear some shuffling from the other line. "I'm coming over to check on you." I heard him say.
I shook my head even though he couldn't see. "You don't have to, hearing your voice was enough." I try to tell him.
"I don't care, Ash. I'll be there soon." He hung up before I could say anything else.
I sat in bed while I waited for Colby. I think the only reason why I got the nightmare was because the boys are posting tomorrow.
All of the memories are coming back. I could hear light footsteps come to my door so I look over to see it was Colby.
I quickly get out of bed and rush over towards him. I wrap my arms around him as he did the same.
He rubbed my back so he could make sure I was calmed down a little bit. Once I had calmed down, I pulled away from the embrace.
"You okay?" He asked as I nodded my head. "Yeah, I'm sorry about that. It just really freaked me out." I tell him.
We move over to my bed so we could be more comfortable. "You don't have to be sorry, I totally understand." He frowned.
I bring my knees to my chest while looking at him. "It's weird, I never had something affect me like this." I think out loud.
He frowned while I spoke to him. "I used to get nightmares after getting arrested so I totally understand." He assures me.
"I just want you to know you're not alone. You have me and Sam plus the girls." He promised to me.
I look at him softly as we sit on the bed. "Do you mind staying the night? I don't want to be alone." I ask softly.
He nodded his head while taking his shoes off. He climbs into my bed and pats the spot next to him.
I scoot closer to him and rest my head on his chest. I could hear his heartbeat in his chest.
"Thank you so much." I thank him. It's five in the morning and he drove all the way out here so he could make sure I'm okay.
He started rubbing my back which was starting to calm me down. I appreciate him so much.
I eventually fell asleep, feeling safe in his arms. When I woke up, we were in a different position.
We were spooning and he was holding me securely. I don't know how it feels so safe in his arms.
If I could, I would lay here for hours in Colby's arms. Sadly, the longer I stayed here, the hungrier I got.
I could smell Peyton cooking breakfast so I couldn't wait to try it. It took me a few minutes to get out from Colby's grip.
Once I was out, I walked out of my room knowing I won't wake him.
Peyton was done cooking by the time I walked in there. "Morning." She smiled at me widely.
"Morning." I rasp to her. I go in there and grab a piece of bacon, biting a piece off.
I look over at Peyton to see she's looking at me with confusion all over her face.
"Who are you and where is my best friend?" She asked half jokingly.
I smile a little while I finish chewing my food. "What are you talking about?" I ask playing dumb.
She gave me a look like I was stupid. "I've been friends with you for our whole lives and I've never seen you eat breakfast."
I shrugged while looking over at her. "Things change I guess." I tell her. She just shakes her head while looking over at me.
"Got any plans today?" She asked while making her plate. I shrug while sitting at the table.
"I don't know just yet, maybe hang out with Colby sometime after he posts." I think.
I ask what she's going to do and she tells me how Zander planned her a date.
I instantly started smiling. "Can I help you get ready?" I ask happily.
"Well duh, I wouldn't know who else to do it." I was honestly thrilled. We talked about it while she ate and she said it's gonna be a surprise.
It wasn't even my date and I was honestly excited. "When are you and Colby going to date?" She asked raising her eyebrow towards me.
I roll my eyes while smiling a little bit. "We're just friends, Pey." I remind her. She gives me a look like she doesn't believe me.
"Is that why you're wearing his shirt?" She noticed. I didn't even realize it was his.
"It was a coincidence." I make up on the spot. "Is that why you got jealous whenever he was talking to that girl?" Damn, she got me there.
I leaned back in the chair. "Even if I did have feelings for him, he doesn't even like me back." She laughed a little towards me.
"Bullshit!" I look at her confused. "What?" I ask clearly confused.
"Colby's into you, Ash. I mean, he constantly flirts with you and he follows you around like a lost puppy." She explains.
I hate to say it but she does have a point. I mean, he did punch a guy for me. It's a lot to take in.
Before I could say anything, I could hear my door open. I look to see Colby walking in here.
He was rubbing his eyes so I guess he just woke up. I look at Peyton to see shes smirking towards me.
"I didn't know you were here." She smiled towards him. He looked at me like he didn't know what to say.
"I called him late last night cause I couldn't sleep." I answer for him. I didn't want to explain the nightmare just yet.
He came over and sat next to us. "Sleep well?" She asked as he nodded his head.
"Better when I came over here." I rolled my eyes at him trying to flirt with me.
Peyton eyed me as we talked. It was nice seeing the two get along. The person I grew up with and the person I've grown attached to.
As we talked, I see Colby pick his phone up to look at the time. I could see him frown a little as he started to stretch.
"I would love to talk longer but I have to go publish the new video with Sam." I frown as he stood up.
I followed along and stood up. "Be careful getting home." I tell him lightly. He grinned over towards me.
"You should be nicer more, it looks good on you." I bit my lip so I can hide my smile.
"I've been telling her that for years." Peyton piped up. We both looked over at her as she looked in between us.
I can see she got the hint by the look on her face. "I'll just leave you two to it." She stood up and walked away from us.
"If you don't want to, you don't have to watch the video." He softly tells me. I just look at him with soft eyes.
"I might soon, I promise." I tell him. He opened his arms up for a hug so I went into them, feeling his embrace.
I think his cologne is my new favorite smell.
