My thoughts on the drunk Banter episode
Okay so George told his drunk story first and it was about the first time he got blackout drunk cause he doesn’t drink that much (Sapnap disputes this and says he gets drunk a lot but George was only talking about being the really far gone type of drunk lol) It was when Hasan and Austin visited his London flat for Tommy’s Love or Host and offered him to go out and drink with them. Afterwards George got so drunk that he went to Austin’s hotel room and threw up in his toilet and slept on his floor. Then he had a flight to catch to Ireland for the Sam & Colby shoot but he was still drunk when he woke up and threw up outside on the sidewalk(?) He barely made his flight it sounds like. It’s so interesting to hear the backstory to that because I think Austin or Hasan talked about drinking with George before and how crazy he acted so I guess this confirms it lol I’m sure someone could pull up the airport picture a fan took with George before he left for Ireland as well.
Honestly from the drunk stories that were hinting at George that I’ve heard before I think this is about how I expected drunk George to act lmao He was so talkative! And more affectionate too which led to a lot of clips that I can foresee circling the dashboard for days hehe Also that anon was right-George is simply a lightweight! They said he gets drunk after just three shots. Foolish is the opposite apparently and Sapnap thinks he could down the whole bottle of Fireball lol
The Hannah Rose bit that they kept going back to with George texting her about how drunk they were was kinda funny
Karl said that when Sapnap gets drunk he gets “deep” like he’ll start blabbing about how much he loves his friends, aww.
Also once again I feel like I’m just being proven right with every new episode that comes out that Sapnap is jealous of KNF and their friendship like he literally said he just wanted to feel included when Karl kissed George’s scratch like he couldn’t be more obvious about it. He got cut off but I think he was also in middle of saying “I wanna be sandwiched” at some point lmao I kinda feel bad especially because Karl & George were sharing Karl’s bed together to watch Death Note over and over again. No word on what Sapnap was doing at the time
Anyway, I really enjoyed this episode and I’m surprised they included so much footage because Sapnap made it sound like it would be really short but they managed to keep it over half an hour long. Editors got a bonus too apparently lol

Hi allie!! I see you guys are talking about the haunted museum!! i’ve never been, but i absolutely love Zak Bagan’s show, Ghost Adventures!! I’m from Florida, and they visited a place not to far from me called the Riddle House. I don’t really remember the story, only that a man killed himself in the attic of the building. Me being me, i decided to go on a tour of the house, and in the children’s room, i felt like i couldn’t breathe. oh my god, it was horrible. my brother doesn’t believe in ghosts, so i literally told him to go to the haunted museum and say that ghosts aren’t real and see what happens LOL! I also just finished watching the new Jeffrey Dahmer series, and I am so freaked out. He’s so fucked up!! i knew he was fucked up, but oh my god??? i was crying so much throughout it as well. then obviously when i was done, i went on a youtube rampage of watching interview of his bc it’s so interesting. for my psychology class, we’re doing a project where you have to analyze a celebrity’s brain. i’m upset that i didn’t pick dahmer, because that would have been so interesting!! Also, did you know that Post Malone went to the haunted museum and him and Zak opened the dybbuk box or something like that? then after that, Post Malone got a streak of bad luck. apparently he almost got into a plane crash, his house was targeted for a robbery, and something else happened that i’m not quite remembering. when i do go to the museum, i told myself that there will be rooms that i will be avoiding!! I will be avoiding Peggy’s room, because she has been known to cause chest pain, and maybe heart attacks??? they always say to not look into her eyes. I will also be avoiding the Dybbuk box’s room because I don’t want anything to do with that box LMAO!! I saw that you said that you were watching videos on the museum, so i have to recommend one!! I don’t know if you’re familiar with Sam and Colby, but they do a bunch of investigations!! They did one a while back on Zak’s museum!! it was literally horrifying!! They’ve also done a few on the conjuring house where they brought a medium with them as well!! it was so interesting to watch!! ndowjfoejf i could literally talk about this stuff all day!! i had a history class where the teacher and i bonded over our fascination with serial killers (in a “wow, i wonder what makes them like this” kind of way lol). hope you have a wonderful night and if you ever wanna talk about any of this kind of stuff, my DMs are ALWAYS open!! sending you love!! 💓
Holy fuck, I’m so happy I didn’t catch this message last night because I sure would be even more freaked out than I was already 😂 wow! Anyway, I love all of this lol thank you for sharing!
Zak Bagan had a familiar face but I didn’t realise where I knew him from. I used to watch Ghost Hunters a lot, Ghost Adventures not so much.. but I’ve probably seen a few now that you mentioned. I googled and they apparently have an episode on Cecil Hotel, I will definitely be watching that one.

Every trip they went to they always slept in the same bed. That's how comfortable they were with each other. Every hotel they ever went to, always got one room with a double bed, in the RV they use to travel in with Elton and Corey, same story again, sharing one small bed. No wonder people made fun and jokes about it all the time. But Sam and Colby never cared, they were both comfortable this way.
Yet another trip they were on, in Canada. They were there for some haunted places and to visit Katrina's family. They stayed in a hotel as usual, sharing the bed.
After a long flight the only thing they both looked forward to was laying down in bed and cuddle. Not that they told each other that but they both knew each other enough to know how much the other actually enjoyes it.
So when they dropped their bags in the room Sam went to shower while Colby hoped on the bed and looked through social media. As soon as he heard the water running, he glanced over at the bathroom door expecting it to be shut, but it wasn't. Therefore he could clearly see Sam taking his clothes off and he looked away only to look back over a second later, he just couldn't help it.
Seeing Sam's back, his eyes flickering down but he returned his attention to his phone. It was stupid, his big crush on his best friend was stupid.
He scrolled through Instagram trying to calm down his thoughts and excitement that built up, this is going to be an interesting night if the boner doesn't go away before Sam comes to lay down. As he scrolls down the front page of Instagram he stops at one particular picture.
"What the hell!"
" Colby what's wrong?!" Sam shouts from the bathroom and runs to the room with a towel around himself. He was concerned for his friend.
Colby just shut the screen and threw the phone away that it landing in front of Sam and he sighed. " Nothing…just don't look at it alright I don't want you to be sad."
Sam didn't listen and picked the phone up, unlocking it because of course he knew the password, duh. Colby just watched as Sam's changed from confused to worried to angry and finally to sad.
" I'm sorry Sammy."
" How could she Colbs, why? Why am I never good enough for anyone?"
" No, no you are enough Sam, hey.." Colby moved close to Sam who was sitting on the bed now looking down with tears falling down.
Colby slowly took sam's face in his hands and gently turned it to his direction.
" Look at me Sam, you're more than enough, please look at me, I want to see those beautiful blue eyes of yours."
Sam looked up at Colby meeting his eyes and despite feeling like crap for being cheated on, he smiled a little. Colby always made him smile, always made him happy no matter what.
" She doesn't know what she had, she's stupid for letting someone as amazing as you go. You're amazing Sam, you're perfect the way you are and don't you dare think otherwise."
"Colbs…" Sam hugged him tight crying on his shoulder as he slowly laid down on the bed, Colby throwing the covers over them.
" Can you just hold me Colby?" Sam asked with pleading look.
" Of course Sammy."
Colby pulled Sam closer to his chest, tightening his grip around him and Sam laid on Colby's chest. Closing his eyes and just enjoying the warmth and touch.
" Goodnight Sam." Colby kissed Sam on the top of the head and snuggled to him. The two falling asleep cuddling.
For the next few days Colby watches Sam's life change severely. Breaking up with Katrina caused him to be way happier and more confident. Colby liked that change, this was his best friend as he knew him, the one he fell in love with.
Exploring became their absolute passion again without anything holding them back. Currently they were climbing to a rooftop of another abandoned building. Colby claimed up first grabbed Sam's hand helping him up.
It was night time and the view was amazing. They set the camera down and sat on the edge and wrapped their arms around each other looking at the view enjoying life.
" I missed this just you and me, nothing else to worry about."
"Me too Sam.. I love you."
The blond looked at his friend, not expecting to see a serious expression. It didn't take long for Sam to realize that Colby actually meant it.
Sam cuddled into him smiling.
" I love you too Colbs"

Hey back at it again because I don’t feel like I need to sleep with the lights on after this video! Woo-Woo!
To start, overall enjoyed the video (I hardly ever don’t though so are we surprised?)
Josh and Seth were a lot of fun and seemed like they had level heads, which is always appreciated in the haunted settings.
And, honestly, I would go visit this place. It seems like a fun place to visit, if not for the ghosts then for the people and history. Also I’d like to see how these ghosts react to some female visitors.
Speaking of the female visitors, Maddie was really into Mr. Brock, huh? (Guess even ghosts can’t resist his charm) Which was really fun to see her act like, well, a prostitute even as a ghost 😂 And the fact that he left her $10 oh my god.
Side Note: When Colby said “I’m gonna fuck a ghost” I 100% thought of Zak Bagans because that man totally wants to fuck a ghost 😂
Overall this place never gave me a negative vibe (with the exception of not being there, of course) even though Colby said he was feeling anxious about going but after the Conjuring House I’d be anxious going anywhere haunted after that. I think that there may have been some bad ghosts who were bad people but not any bad spirits or demons there. Also they mention having a few portals there which I think its interesting, because it’s like they are opening up the hotel to be like a, I guess, hotel for spirits/ghosts to come visit, which it cool.
Not to dog on Amanda again, but I liked Scott a lot more than here (sorry). He just seemed so chill and nonchalant about his powers to where she seemed really in your face about it. I also liked how he never said demon, just said “D word” as to not “invite” anything like that. All-in-all he just seemed a lot less theatrical than Amanda and I guess I like that. But different mediums, different styles.
I don’t know for sure if I believe the oujia board thing. I’m not having any gut feeling telling me not to (which has happened before) but I’ve certainly never seen anything like it either. But you have to take into account how much you believe in the power of a medium before deciding for sure. It was an interesting part of the video, for sure.
And the door opening and shutting was very interesting. It didn’t shock me to my core or anything (I’ve watched Ghost Adventures for years, not a lot surprises me anymore) but they all had very real and believable reactions to that as well as the soccer ball. 
Also, I don’t really find the temperature and light up equipment all that compelling but I liked the spirit box (or whatever Josh called it) and the flashlights because a) Sam and Colby haven’t done those kinds before and b) I think those are more compelling and “believable” to me, personally.
Side Note: I forget how big the boys actually are until people recognize them in their own videos, like the owner said her daughter knew of them and Scott had seen some of their videos, like that’s so cool.

black butterflies [colby brock]
fandom: sam and colby/traphouse
pairing: colby x self
word count: 2,209
part(s): one two three
summary: after a prank gone wrong, colby and his friends meet another youtuber during her meet and greet in hopes it will cheer her up
A/N: this is a self-insert because it’s a fic that was started for my own personal pleasure. it was supposed to be shared last year on my fan account after a poll was done but never was bc i ended up not feeling ready to do so. i figured since i‘m ready to share it now, it would be best to do it here since it’s pretty detailed
Tumblr media
THREE
By the time the pair reached their hotel on the west coast, the sky was significantly brighter than back home. While she loved the city that she frequently visited, she had to admit when the airplane reached its destination that Boston did not compare to the view that graced her. Palm trees, beaches and sunny skies greeted the two friends as they descended toward the runway of LAX that afternoon. Even the drive to the west coast Marriott location was a sight for sore eyes as the scenery blurred by with dozens of people walking the sidewalks and hundreds of restaurants and stores lining the street. Aiden won the competition of who could connect their music to the car’s stereo the fastest, playing indie music the whole ride. When they actually checked into the building, the walk and elevator ride consisted of a playful argument about who was going to get which bed. That was figured out quickly as Kirsy set her stuff on the floor of the shared room before throwing herself on the one next to the window.
After settling and calming themselves down, the close friends talked about what they could do first. However, she wasn’t feeling up to exploring right away. They’d only landed the night before and were now three hours behind their usual time. Jet lag wasn’t really at play since the difference didn’t mean much to someone who rarely slept anyway, but exhaustion was another thing entirely. The whole early morning was spent laying underneath the sheets
“You can’t lay here all day.”
“I beg to differ.” She rolled on her stomach from facing the ceiling, coming eye to eye with the rising musician. His hands were placed on his waist as he stared you down, to which she paid no mind because that was just how their relationship worked. “I just want to lay here in a room with an air conditioner and fantasize about people who don’t know I exist.”
Knowing exactly who she meant, Aiden raised an eyebrow, shifting his weight on one leg as he raised an eyebrow at her. “Please - that’s a cliche story that isn’t going to get you out of today’s plans.” The older of the two placed himself against the bed across from her, taking his hat off of his head to chuck it at the girl’s face. She let out a whine, sending him a glare that would send a fraction of shivers going on anyone else’s spine. The bemusement on the young man’s face was clear as day; they were in a busy city with long beaches and awe-striking sights and all she wanted to do was mope around on her phone.
He was going to have none of it.
It didn’t matter that one of their companions quit on them and the channel - this trip was about moving on, starting new chapters and showing everyone that she wasn’t as devastated as she made herself look on camera the other day. While he hadn’t known her as long, they were almost inseparable, and watching her delve into the nerves of walking around without the redhead was something he never thought he’d see. His friend needed someone to slap her out of this misery and drag her back into the world she lived in now; one of adventure and expanding the lack of social horizons. “Get your ass up, we’re going out.”
“What-” She glanced over at him, exasperation in her tone. “We landed in the state twelve hours ago. What exactly do you want to do at this hour?”
“It’s what I don’t want to do, and that’s be stuck in here until we have the meet and greet. Which is in a few hours,” he reminded her. He crossed the small room to fish the room key out of the side of his bag, glancing back to find her sitting up with a neutral expression on her face. He side swept her copy of the card onto the bed he gained in the race to the shared room, “Your body knows nothing about being put to rest for more than five hours. I’m sure it doesn’t register that you’ve changed time zones, so you have enough energy to be proactive.”
Kirsy stared at her friend blankly, shoving her hands in the pocket of her hoodie. She peeked down at the white and green piece of plastic sitting on the comforter, tempting her to join in on exploring the city. Which is what she should be doing, anyway.
For years, her mind had been plagued in the best way possible with dreams and manifestations of how her life would be if she was ever able to afford residency in California. The sandy beaches, clear skies, endless list of activities and shops, and modern beauty of such a popular location always drew her in. The plan was to save up and find a place with Casey, so ensuing on a trip that her eccentric friend insisted on doubling as an apartment search was tough for her. She got over situations very quickly - the events that unfolded about one week before were already shoved in the back of her mind as unnecessary but moral filled fog. People were harder to be rid of in the recesses. If someone was dear to her, she could live on as if they weren’t, though it wouldn’t be the case on the inside. Going out and enjoying herself didn’t sit right with the part of her that was stuck with the friendship that had a questionable ending.
The young adult kept an eye on the twenty-two year old as she seemed to be contemplating what she was going to do. He was going to drag her out to the elevator and out the doors either way. Still, it would be much more enjoyable of a break from reality if she was one hundred willing to partake in the adventure.
“How long are we staying again?” She looked up, meeting his gaze.
“I think four days. Unless we find a place, then we agreed to stay longer to sort everything out.”
“Okay.” With a defeated sigh she picked up the key and turned around to grab the small backpack she was able to carry on the flight over. Making her way to where Aiden patiently stood, she placed a small hand on his shoulder. “Let’s go find you a boyfriend, then.”
He shook his head, letting out an exasperated sigh that only received a grin in response before they opened the door.
-
“I’m pretty sure this counts as stalking.” The brunette looked over the shorter figure, giving him a look that the slightly older male dismissed with a gesture of surrender. “All I’m saying is that checking her story is a step above what a normal person would do.”
“You’re not normal.” He retorted, his previously blonde friend agreeing with no problem.
“I would hope not,” Sam exclaimed, putting his hands in the pockets of his denim jacket as he smiled at his exasperated friend, “it’s kind of my whole brand.”
Colby couldn’t come up with a clever comeback. Since seeing that the vlogger and streamer had landed, he’d been dragging his friends around the local spots of Downtown Los Angeles. The anxiety that riddled him was as much of a positive aspect as it could have been - it matched the feeling their subscribers and community members would react at their own chances of meeting the group of four boys and the girlfriends of three of them. He knew how much he was acting out of character, and yet he didn’t care. Both parties had been admiring the other for months at a time without notice. Well, he noticed hers because everything she had came from the makings of a fan account she created for him and his friends. The lack of responses and her comments and work being drowned out by the millions of other fans gave her the impression that he never saw her past being another face, even after her own social media standing took off.
Taking the past three years into consideration benefited both ends of this infatuation. After proving successful in her journey when able to attend a convention the year before, she hoped having the platform would bring more attention to her rising brand so she could get the chance to embarrass herself in person.
It was the opposite for Colby.
All he’d wanted since realizing he was starting to experience the way a lot of fans felt towards any member of the housemates was a chance to meet her face to face. Maybe the way she affected him was because her own emotions manifested onto him whenever he skimmed a caption on one of her editing account’s uploads or read some of the posts she would put up on social media about him. Surely that was the explanation for all of this.
Everyone knew he was tired of trying to find the person he was meant to be with in girls from the Bay Area. No one he’d ever been attracted to or tried to start a relationship with in his years of living here had shown potential. Los Angeles was a palace for people who did a lot of stunts and acted a certain way to get where they wanted to go in life, and that included who they would get involved with. It became too hard too quickly for him to figure out the intentions of the few he tried to get to know romantically, and so he gave up on dating in this part of the country. Part of him did anticipate that if it wasn’t going to be someone he would see on the internet or the feed of any social media accounts, it would be someone from the family they’d all built over time. It would be a girl that’s watched their videos and been with them for a while and knew the guys well enough just by observing and enjoying the content they were given. It was nerve racking to think that the person he should really be with was a fan, as they would all categorize themselves as. So since he started being the one to keep an eye out for announcements and new content when it came to Kirsy, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to believe it - he just couldn’t.
How would this girl who proclaimed herself a fangirl half the time - a girl who photoshopped images, created videos and made storylines for everyone to read - possibly be the one who took his heart and made it beat such a way? It just didn’t make sense.
Yet here he was, blindly following her updates along with any other local subscriber of hers to see if she would be going anywhere he could bump into her, his friends following along because they knew what was going on and wanted to be there for support. Having known him since they were in their early teenage years, Sam had every inch of how his best friend reacted to liking someone planted in his brain. He mapped out the stages in his head when Colby started talking about the ‘new YouTuber that looked familiar and he could have sworn she went to their tour or passed by them at an event’. When those stages started to ring true, he filled in their other roommates who started to notice the constant mention of her name as well. They’ve all been there for him, hoping that he would just admit he fell for someone he’d never personally met or spoken to before.
One of the taller members of the foursome looked between the more sane companions, wanting to help their friend keep the confidence they all knew he had. “We should invite her and her friend to the Love For Hire party this weekend. She’s going to be here around then, right?”
Colby brought his attention to Jake, his curiosity peaking at the mention of their new boyband. They all met their girlfriends at parties, didn’t they? At least - that’s the way it was perceived in his head when the moments began to blur together. It seemed the connections for all of them were made when they all met the nights of, and that’s what he wanted. Perhaps the fact that the trio of couples all met for the first time at one of the Traphouse’s parties made him much more superstitious than he wanted or expected to be. Going to a small event meant for local fans of another content creator and using it to meet her himself right before they all invited her to their house for a party? How much of an ideal was that?
The more he thought about it as they walked down the sidewalks beside the beach, the more ridiculous he sounded. So what if this wasn’t an ideal situation? If whatever it was he felt was genuinely reciprocated, then he would approach it head on and take the risk of wooing someone from his creator community. If not, then he would have to learn to deal with that.
Although, something told him that all of this overwhelming emotion would be worth it.

Bringing the guys and girls home to meet your family and having a good time at a park adventuring around bonus points if you include a haunted tunnel and Corey freaking out-❄️
Okay, so I think that maybe you went to visit your family because you missed them, and maybe Sam or Colby piped up and said that they would want to go with you, and it eventually turned out that everybody wanted to go.
Of course, you’re family couldn’t house all of them, so an Air BnB was rented or maybe a few hotel rooms. But your family was just as excited as you were to have all of your friends meet them. Colby was super nervous to meet your parents, but you had no clue.
So when all of your friends showed up with you at your parents doorstep, they were happy to see all of them. Colby was anxious the entire night, but he eventually loosened up a little. He thought your parents liked him, and he was right.
The next day, you took them touring around. You remember some of the sports you went to play at as a kid, and so you took them to this park. Well, Park was a loose term. It was more like this really big empty field. Some of the spots were overgrown but for the most part it was just like you remembered it.
You laughed for awhile and you watched some of the guys start running around, acting like kids. Eventually, you would lead them down a trail near the back of the “park” and it would lead down into a little tunnel.
Corey, of course, is instantly freaking out. He’s screaming “no” at the top of his longs and he heads back up to the grassy field. A few others join him but Sam (no fear), Kat, Colby, and a couple others stayed with you. As you guys walked, Colby stayed by your side, eventually slipping an arm around you.
Who knows what fun ensues when you get farther down the tunnel?

Family: J.W. (1/5)
“She’s here!” Jake said excitedly to the other roommates, reading the text he had received from you.  
Jake had been your best friend ever since you could remember. You hadn’t seen him since he moved to California. You sighed heavily, now here you were having to break the news that you were pregnant, when all you wanted was to spend time with him.
Jake came bounding out the front door “y/n!”. You gave him the biggest smile you could muster as you got out of your rental car opening your arms to match his and with that, you were engulfed in his arms and pulled off the ground causing you to laugh.
“It’s been too long” you replied with a happy sigh hugging him back tightly for a little longer than necessary after he had set you down.
“Way too long” he agreed, “here lemme help you with your bags”, going around to the trunk of the car to retrieve your luggage. “Is this all you brought?” he asked with a laugh as he viewed the one small suitcase.
You laughed slightly and replied, “Yeah, I’m a light packer”, he shook his head with a smile, taking the suitcase out of the trunk and telling you to follow him inside.  
You had tried to argue with him about staying at a hotel not wanting to be a bother but he kept insisting on you staying with him and his roommates.
You followed behind him into the foyer, the house was gorgeous, all though slightly messy but what did you expect from a bunch of guys living together.
One of whom you recognized to be Colby came up asking if Jake could help him out with a video, which Jake was more than happy to help with. He looked at you and gave a smile. “Hey y/n!” He pulled you into a quick hug. “Jake hasn’t been able to shut up since he found out you were coming to visit.”
You chuckled shaking your head, “does he ever shut up”, you replied obviously joking.
the boy laughed, as Jake mocked hurt, “No not really”. You had met Sam and Colby many times, they were both sweet guys and had made you felt like a part of their group. You caught up a bit until he excused himself to set up for the aforementioned video.
Jake gave you a tour of the house before getting to his room, “ and this is my room” he said opening the door, you took in the appearance of it and decided it looked very, Jake. “I can pull out an air mattress if you don’t want to share the bed”, though he kind of hoped you wanted to share the bed.
You gave him a small smile, “I’m fine with whatever” truth be told you weren’t picky with sleeping arrangements plus it wasn’t like you two hadn't shared a bed before either. “I’m gonna try and take a nap though”, first-trimester fatigue getting the better of you already.
“Oh yeah go ahead that’s fine, I’m gonna go help Colby with his video,” Jake said as you nodded ushering him to go ahead.  He gave you a smile before he slipped from the room.
As you slipped into something more comfortable, you thought about how you were going to tell Jake, as well as how he might react. There was a reason you hadn’t really told anyone other than your parents, and the baby's father, you were terrified of your friends' reactions.
Sighing you curled up in his bed, taking in his scent. You shook your hand as if to ease the anxiety, there was nothing good coming out of working yourself up thinking about his reaction to the news but it gnawed at you. Soon enough though you drifted off peacefully.
It hadn’t felt like you were asleep long before you were awoken gently by whom you could only assume was Jake, “morning sleepy head” he chuckled brushing a stray strand of hair gently behind your ear.
“Morning” you replied with a small smile, looking into his eyes as his thumb lingered on your cheek. He backed up slightly removing his thumb allowing you to sit up, “What time is it?”, asking as you stretched.  
“It’s about ten, I thought you might be hungry”, you nodded, feeling your stomach rumble at the mention of food. “What’re you hungry for?” he pressed, you thought for a moment as the urgent need for pizza arose.
“How about pizza?” You questioned, rubbing the sleep from your eyes and letting out one big yawn. Though you then pressed, “I’m honestly dying for a pizza right now” you chuckled as jake laughed at your remark and began to order.
As you waited for the pizza you sat and talked trying to catch up on everything you each had missed in one another's lives. “How are things with Peyton”, he asked looking down at his fingers, nervously picking at them.
You swallowed, you had hoped to have more time than you did to tell him but it was now or never. “We broke up”, you gave a small smile as his eyes widened at the news, you quickly continued before he could interrupt. “I found out I was pregnant and that he was also cheating on me”, You paused.
Jake continued to look at you, expression never changing as he processed the newly found information. “Wait, you’re pregnant?”, you nodded feeling the tears sting your eyes, threatening to spill. Jake noticed and pulled you into his arms rubbing your back soothingly, gently rocking back and forth.
“I told Peyton but he doesn’t want anything to do with us”, you choked out between sobs, “I’m scared Jake” you cried, wetting the front of his shirt.
He was silent for a moment but still kept rubbing your back. “You’re going to be fine, I’m here”, he replied quietly, you pulled back from him slightly, looking up at him he gave a small reassuring smile as he wiped away your tears.
You gave him a small smile. His eyes stared into yours, you felt your heart beating faster as he started to lean in, placing a hand on your cheek. You sat still, not sure what to do until your body decides for you. You could feel his breath cascade onto your lips, as he was about to close the distance you heard, “Who ordered a pizza?!”.
Jake sighed removing his hand from your cheek and pulling away from you. He grabbed his wallet off the desk and left the room, you let out a breath you didn’t know you were holding in. “What just happened,” you asked yourself rubbing your face.
Jake came back in carrying two boxes of pizza, he sat them down on the bed and placed his wallet back on the desk, “Do you want to watch a movie?”, he asked picking up his laptop and getting on the bed next to you. 
“Yeah” you answered quietly, still unsure what had happened. You picked up a box of pizza and settled in next to him, resting your head on his shoulder, opened the box and grabbed a slice. It didn’t take long to pick a movie or eat through one and a half boxes of pizza.
You tried your hardest to keep your eyes open but no matter how hard you tried sleep overtook your body. Jake looked down at you, curled against his body. He smiled small, moving a piece of hair from your face.
He wanted nothing more than to confess his crush on you but knowing where you were mentally, he knew now wasn’t the right time but he hoped one day he could confess his feelings.
A/N: hope you liked it :)

Mean What You Mean (Colby Brock) - Part 6
Part 6:
Tucker was definitely the best person to have with me in Los Angeles for my first time. He knew everything since he went a year prior with his parents and older sister. Because he'd enjoyed it, he offered to film for me. It was nice not to worry about carrying my camera the whole time. We went to the Walk of Fame on Hollywood Boulevard and took pictures with some of our favorites. The we drove to the Hollywood sign for the hike. "This'll be our workout for the whole week, I think." I muttered, seeing how far you have to hike. "This is what you said you wanted to do." "It is." I confirmed. "It'll be worth it." "Let's go then." As we hiked, Tucker carried my camera in one hand and went through my Instagram DM's with the other. "Lots of people are sending in Gabbie Hanna and some girl named Justine." I let out a shakey breath. "She's from TikTok and Instagram. We did the same ad one time and got put in a post together." I groaned. "Okay, I gotta stop a minute." I sat down on a rock and took off my backpack. Tucker turned on my camera. "And stop three." "Shut up." I snapped, flipping him off. "Hmm, gonna have to blur that out." He chuckled and then clicked off the camera. "You okay?" "Yeah. Keep reading." "Alright. Um, Gabbie, Andrea, oh." He paused. "Sam and Colby, Sam and Colby, Sam and Colby." I furrowed my brows. "Really?" "Mhm." He nodded. "Why did you not go through these before we left?" "Because I had to do that paper for Miss Harmon. She didn't like my rough draft so I had to start over." "Oh. Right." I stood up and looked at him. "Some of us can't use our good looks to get out of things." "I don't do that." "Not on purpose." I took my phone from him and opened my Snapchat and took a picture of the view. 'Hollywood sign hike on the first day. Great idea, Jo.' I handed the phone back to him. "Let's keep going. And keep reading." "Yes, ma'am." We continued up the mountain and I compiled a list of people to contact. "Hey, thought." Tucker put my phone down. "Okay." "What about Katrina Stuart?" I shrugged. "Wouldn't hurt to try." "Do you think she'd respond?" "Probably. She seems cool." "Okay." We finally reached the top and I gasped. "Oh wow!" "You did it." Tucker announced. I nodded. "Yes, I did." He took some pictures for me and I posted my favorite one on Instagram. 'I made it! Hello, LA! Let's have a fun week!' I made Tucker take a few selfies with me and we posted them on our Insta stories and Snapchats. "Whoa, Jo. Look!" He said, showing me my phone. I had a Direct Message on Instagram from Katrina. Katrina: Hi, Jo. I know you don't know me personally but a friend of mine has followed you for awhile and I watched all your videos and stuff. I just saw your post that you're in LA! Would you want to meet up in a couple days? My boyfriend Sam and I would love to show you and Tucker around to our favorite places! Let me know if you're interested! My jaw dropped and I looked up at Tucker. "She knows who I am!" He grinned. "Are you going to say 'yes'?" I nodded. "Yes!" * When we made it back to the car, I replied to Katrina. Josephine: Hi Katrina! First of all, I can't believe you know who I am! I've been following you and Sam and everyone for years now! You seem so sweet on camera and you're just as sweet over DM. Tucker and I would LOVE to meet up with you and Sam! Just let us know when and where and we'll meet you there! I squealed. "Ah! This is amazing!" Tuck chuckled. "Aren't you excited?" "Of course I am!" He squeezed my thigh. "But I'm also sweaty and hungry." "Yeah, me too." "Let's go back to the hotel and shower and then we'll go out for a fancy dinner somewhere." I nodded. "I like that idea." * Six and a half hours later, I was sitting at the desk in our hotel room editing. "Jo, come to bed." Tuck groaned softly. "I'm almost done." I told him. I heard him get up and then felt him lean over me. "No, you're not." "Yes, I am." I pushed him away. "Let me at least order you some room service." He grabbed the menu off the TV stand. "What do you want?" "A smoothie and a freakin' quesadilla." I mumbled. "Okay." I stopped and glanced at him. "Are you serious?" "Yeah." He nodded. "I'll Postmate it if I have to." "You're amazing." I grinned. "I know." A half hour later I had my quesadilla and my smoothie. Tuck took a Boomerang video for my Insta story and I posted it. 'S/o to my bff for the editing snack!' "I love when you shout me out." Tuck said from the bed. "Do ya?" "Not really, honestly, but I know it's kind of your job." "It is." I clipped off some of the hike and put in my background music. "So, I'm meeting with Justine tomorrow around noon. Do you want to go?" I asked him. "What are you girls doing?" He asked. "Not sure. Maybe a video for her channel and her TikTok, I think." "I'll drop you off but I think I'm going to go surfing since you don't do that." "Hmm." I giggled. "Get you a best friend who doesn't make you do boy stuff." "I just know you." "True." I was almost done with the video when my phone buzzed. It was a DM on Instagram from Katrina. Katrina: Hey! When you're out tomorrow, go to Beth's! It's a cute jewelry store in Hollywood! You'd love it! Josephine: Thanks, girl! Katrina: How is LA so far? Josephine: I love it! Katrina: Good! I can't wait to meet you! When I see Sam tomorrow we'll set a time! Josephine: Sounds perfect! I sat back. "Hey, Tuck. Will you watch the video before I post it?" "Sure, babes." "I'm gonna shower while you do that and then it's bedtime for me." *** After a fun day filming with Justine, Tucker picked me up and we went out for dinner. "Hey, can we go back to Hollywood Boulevard?" I asked him. "Sure." "Thanks. Katrina suggested a jewelry shop and I want to check it out." "Okay." Beth's was everything Katrina said it was and more. The jewelry was right up my alley and I found a ton of cool pieces to add to my collection. "Tuck! Look at this one!" I gasped at a dreamcatcher bracelet. He smiled softly. "That's perfect for you." "Thank you." The owner was a sweet old lady who named the shop after her late granddaughter. I paid for all the pieces I wanted and gave her a little extra. She thanked me and I promised to visit again. "I loved that." I smiled as I sat back in the seat. "I could tell." Tucker glanced over at me. "LA looks good on you." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "Thank you for this trip, Tuck. You're amazing." "So are you, Jo." *** The next morning, I woke up to multiple dings on my phone. Katrina: I forgot to message you last night! I talked with Sam and we were wondering if you'd be up for breakfast this morning! Katrina: I don't know when you guys wake up, but let me know if that works. I rolled over and tapped Tucker's shoulder. "Hey, you up?" "Yup." He rolled over and met my gaze. "Want to have lunch with Sam and Katrina?" "I love to." Josephine: Hello. We're both up! When and where? Katrina: Oh, good! How about ten? She sent the address in a second message. Josephine: We'll be there! Katrina: Great! You know what we look like. Sam is wearing his merch! Josephine: Of course he is! See you there! I got up and stretched. "You ready?" Tucker nodded. "Yeah. You can have the bathroom today." "Thanks." * "Hi." I said, tapping Katrina on the shoulder. She turned around and immediately hugged me. "Oh my God, it's so nice to meet you!" I heard Sam and Tucker introduce themselves to each other. "It's so nice to meet you too!" I told her honestly. She stood back. "You're so pretty!" "Isn't she?" Tucker leaned in. I shoved him away. "Shut up." Sam held out a hand. "I'm Sam." "I'm Jo." "I'm Kat." "And I'm Tucker." I giggled. "Well, now that we're all familiar with one another. What is this place?" Kat turned and raised her arms in the air. "Gerald's!" "Aka, the best breakfast bar in all of Los Angeles!" Sam added. "Sweet! Can't wait!" I clapped my hands together. Tucker grabbed my hand as we walked inside behind Sam and Kat. "So, how long have you two been friends for again?" Sam asked us. "I was four and Jo was almost four when I moved in next door to her and her parents." Tucker explained. "Been inseparable since." I nodded. "True story." "When did you two meet?" Kat laughed. "Late 2016. Sam took awhile to warm up to me but I won him over." Sam nodded. "Also a true story." I chuckled. "Sounds romantic." "Very." Kat leaned in against her boyfriend. Throughout breakfast, Sam kept eyeing us. Eventually, I knew Tucker would get annoyed so I spoke first. "Sam? What's on your mind?" I asked him. "You two have never dated?" We shook our heads. "Ever kissed?" "Once." Tucker replied. "Truth or dare in eighth grade." "But nothing?" "Nope. She's my best friend. I know there's no one else like her but she's basically my sister." I nodded. "He's the sibling I never had." "Cute!" Kat gushed. "Thanks." I smiled at her. "So, we have a thing at noon, but do you want to meet back here later?" She asked. I nodded. "Sure!" "Cool! We'll see you then!"
